问题 Why does the student go to see the work-study coordinator?
What does the work-study coordinator tell the student that surprises her?
Listen to a conversation between a student and the university work-study coordinator. (S = Student, C =Coordinator)
S: Hello, are you Mr. Terry? I’m Allison.
C: Yes, I am. What brings you here?
S: I just stopped by the financial aid office to square my tuition away. And… ah… I was told that I should participate in the work-study program offered by the university to meet one of my financial aid requirements. And I believe that you, Mr. Terry, are who I should talk to about… Um… a part-time job for this semester.
C: Oh, alright. Let’s see… you are… Allison… Pearson?
S: Right!
C: Well, I know we made our schedule today but we’re supposed to meet at three. I’m sure that’s what my calendar says. Why did you come so early?
S: I’m so sorry about that, but I’ve got a problem with my housing situation. I couldn’t help it. I mean, they assigned three people to my dorm room which is only for two. And the housing advisor is available only at three o’clock to straighten it out. So, could you possibly accommodate me? I’m in trouble.
C: Alright, however, I won’t have much time because I do have a workshop in fifteen minutes. So we’d better go through this very quickly.
S: Oh, thank you! I’m sure it won’t take too long.
C: Good! Well, in general, the school offers a wide range of job options in many different departments. The majority of these work positions are service jobs on campus, but there are a few places that are off-campus too.
S: Okay.
C: The number of jobs is limited although we guarantee every student a slot. The early birds, who meet with me first, always get the widest selection they can choose from. Currently, there are only twenty-five jobs remaining.
S: Oh! Did people apply last year? I mean, how did these positions fill out so fast?
C: No, but it is just first-come-first-served basis each term. It’s a shame that you didn’t come and see me last week. Anyway, urn…. here’s the list of available positions. Consider which particular job is best suited to your interest and skill set. Anything look appealing to you?
S: Um… Yeah! The campus bookstore job looks interesting. And ah… the lab opening looks appealing too. Actually, I like both.
C: In the campus bookstore, for example, you’d probably stock shelves, and arrange the display areas, the sort of work that is relatively routine and predictable. On the other hand, the computer lab assistant position requires a lot of computer know-how. Not only can it be quite demanding and stressful, they usually work with other students who have a research deadline. In a pressure-filled situation, you know, sometimes people can get tense when their computers begin acting up.
S: Well, I thrive under pressure. I mean, I was a peer counselor during my high school years. And also, um… this is the most important thing, I guess… I know about computer software programs inside and out. So, I’d be comfortable handling tech questions or issues.
C: It sounds like a perfect match. Um… here’s the phone number. The next thing you have to do is set up an interview with the computer lab supervisor. Best of luck to you, Allison.

选项 A、She is eligible for most of the remaining positions.
B、He guarantees every student the largest selection they can choose from.
C、Jobs are available only for students who come early.
D、Many positions have already been occupied.

答案D

解析 题目询问协调员跟该学生说了什么,让她这么惊讶。对话中,协调员说Currently, there are only twenty-five jobs remaining “目前只剩下25份工作了”,而学生对此感到很惊讶(Oh!),并问Did people apply last year?…how did these positions fill out so fast?“去年就有人申请了吗?……这些职位怎么这么快就招满了?”由此可知,该学生惊讶于很多职位这么快就没有名额了,即D项。只要抓住该学生惊讶的方面,即很多职位已经没有名额了,就可以排除其他干扰项:A项“她有资格申请剩余的大部分职位”、B项“他保证每个学生都有最大的选择余地”和C项“工作只对来得早的学生开放。
