问题 The woman wanted to know why Robert was applying for a year off during his university life.
  
Listen to the conversation,
and mark each statement as either true(T) or false(F) according to what you hear.
W: Robert. I notice from your application form that you took a year off between high school and university. What did you do during this year?
M: Well, I’d say I got plenty of work experience, but what I did was mostly travel. I went over to Australia for the year and spent the time travelling and working all around the country. At the end I went to New Zealand and travelled around there for a couple of months.
W: What kind of work did you do out there?
M: It was fairly menial stuff. I delivered furniture, helped in a pub, served in a hotel and worked on a building site, and things like that.
W: Working on a building site must be some good experience for engineering?
M: I suppose so. I mean it was interesting to see the brass tacks side of things, and a good engineer has to get his hands dirty, my father says.
W: He’s absolutely right. Now, why did you choose Westley University to study Civil Engineering?
M: Well, first of all I know the department has a very good reputation in this field and, before applying, I checked out the statistics and saw that the percentage of graduates going straight into industry was very good.
W: Yes, we’re very proud of that.
M: I’m also very interested in mountaineering and your campus here in the Midlands is within reasonable distance of Snowdonia so I’ll be able to go hiking at weekends when work allows it.
W: That’s good. It’s very important for students to have interests outside of their studies. It helps deal with the stress.
M: I also play football a lot, and the University runs quite a few teams in the local leagues, so I’d like to get into that.
W: Is there anything you’d like to ask me about the course, Robert?

选项 A、TRUE
B、FALSE

答案A

解析 罗伯特说,看清事物实质的一面是有趣的,他父亲说,一名优秀的工程师必须弄脏他的双手。也就是说罗伯特喜欢建筑工地上的工作,因其想成为一名优秀的工程师。表述符合原文,故为T。
