北京工商大学专升本会计学专业大学英语2电子版复习课件整理:王和平QQ359076395如果有发现错误或补充请联系我.谢谢大家所有资料作者想在上大学之前先挣点钱，便申请了一份教学工作。可是面试情况却越来越糟…我的第一份工作在我等着进大学时，我从一家当地报纸上看到一则伦敦郊区的一所学校要招聘一名教师的广告，此地离我的住处大约十英里远。因为很缺钱花，又想做一点有益的事情。于是我提出了申请，与此同时，我也很担心，因为即没有文凭，又没有教学经验，看来要想得到这份工作，机会渺茫。可是，三天后来了一封信，让我去克洛伊顿面试。那是一次令人难受的旅程。搭火车到克洛伊顿车站，然后坐十分钟的汽车，最后至少再走四分之一英里。结果，我在一个炎热的六月的早晨到了，因为太沮丧而没感到紧张。学校是一座红砖房子，大大的窗子。前面的宅院是铺着砾石的正方形，四个角落都各生一丛灌木，它们挣扎着求生于来自一条繁忙大道的烟雾，尘灰。很显然开门的是校长本人。他又矮又胖，留着沙色的小胡子，前额上布满皱纹，头发几乎秃光。他带着一种吃惊的、不满的神情看着我，就像是一位上校看着一名没系鞋带的列兵一样，“哦，对”他咕哝着说“你最好到里面来。”狭窄、阴暗的走廊里散发出放久的卷心菜的霉味，让人很不舒服，墙上墨迹斑斑，很脏；到处一片沉寂。从地毯上的面包屑判断，他的书房也是他的餐室。“你最好坐下，他说道，接着又问我了一连串的问题，为了得到普通中学毕业证书我学了哪些科目，多大了，玩些什么游戏，这时他突然用那双满是血丝的眼睛盯着我，问我是否认为游戏对于孩子的教育起着重大的作用。我含含糊糊地说些别把游戏看得那么重要之类的话。他哼了哼。我的话不正确。我和那位校长显然没什么共同点。他说，学校包括一个有二十四个男孩子的班级，年龄范围是七至十三岁。我必须教所有的课程，除了美术由他自己教外。星期三和星期六下午到一英里外的公园里踢足球，打板球。教学安排使我充满了恐惧。我得把班分成三级再依次按三个不同水准教他们，想起要教代数和几何我就沮丧，这两门课我在学校里就学得非常差劲。更糟的是想到周六下午打板球，那时我的大多数朋友都在休闲。我十分不好意思地问：“我的薪水会是多少呢？”“加午餐每星期十二镑。”没等我提出抗议，他已经站起来。“现在，”他说道，“你最好见见我妻子，她才是真正管理学校的人。”我再也无法忍受下去了。我还年轻，想到要在一个女人手下做事，真是奇耻大辱。TEXTTryingtomakesomemoneybeforeenteringuniversity,theauthorappliesforateachingjob.Buttheinterviewgoesfrombadtoworse.MyFirstJobRobertBestWhileIwaswaitingtoenteruniversity,IsawadvertisedinalocalnewspaperateachingpostataschoolinsuburbofLondonabouttenmilesfromwhereIlived.Beingveryshortofmoneyandwantingtodosomethinguseful,Iapplied,fearingasIdidso,thatwithoutadegreeandwithnoexperienceinteachingmychancesofgettingthejobwereslim.However,threedayslateraletterarrived,askingmetogotoCroydonforaninterview.Itprovedanawkwardjourney:atraintoCroydonstation;aten-minutebusrideandthenawalkofatleastaquarterofamile.AsaresultIarrivedonahotJunemorningtoodepressedtofeelnervous.Theschoolwasaredbrickhousewithbigwindows.Thefrontgardenwasagravelsquare;fourevergreenshrubsstoodateachcorner,wheretheystruggledtosurvivethedustandfumesfromabusymainroad.Itwasclearlytheheadmasterhimselfthatopenedthedoor.Hewasshortandfat.Hehadasandy-colouredmoustacheawrinkledforeheadandhardlyanyhair.Helookedatmewithanairofsurpriseddisapproval,asacolonelmightlookataprivatewhosebootlaceswereundone,'Ahyes,'hegrunted..'You'd'bettercomeinside.'Thenarrow,sunlesshallsmelledunpleasantlyofstalecabbage;thewallsweredirtywithinkmarks;itwasallsilent.Hisstudy,judgingbythecrumbsonthecarpet,wasalsohisdining-room'You'dbettersitdown,'hesaid,andproceededtoaskmeanumberofquestions:whatsubjectsIhadtakeninmyGeneralSchoolCertificate;howoldIwas;whatgamesIplayed;thenfixingmesuddenlywithhisbloodshoteyes,heaskedmewhetherIthoughtgameswereavitalpartofaboy'seducation.Imumbledsomethingaboutnotattachingtoomuchimportancetothem.Hegrunted.Ihadsaidthewrongthing.TheheadmasterandIobviouslyhadverylittleincommon.Theschool,hesaid,consistedofoneclassoftwenty-fourboys,ranginginagefromseventothirteen.Ishouldhavetoteachallsubjectsexceptart,whichhetaughthimself.FootballandcricketwereplayedinthePark,amileawayonWednesdayandSaturdayafternoons.Theteachingset-upfilledmewithfear.Ishouldhavetodividetheclassintothreegroupsandteachtheminturnatthreedifferentlevels;andIwasdismayedatthethoughtofteachingalgebraandgeometry==twosubjectsatwhichIhadbeencompletelyincompetentatschool.WorseperhapswastheideaofSaturdayafternooncricket;mostofmyfriendswouldbeenjoyingleisureatthattime.Isaidshyly,'Whatwouldmysalarybe?''Twelvepoundsaweekpluslunch.'BeforeIcouldprotest,hegottohisfeet.'Now',hesaid,'you'dbettermeetmywife.She'stheonewhoreallyrunsthisschool.'Thiswasthelaststraw.Iwasveryyoung:theprospectofworkingunderawomanconstitutedtheultimateindignity.NEWWORDSapplyvi.writetoaskfor(ajob,membership,etc.),esp.officially申请vt.1.涂,敷;将...铺在表面[(+to)]Thenurseappliedtheointmenttothewound.护士把药膏敷到伤口上。2.应用;实施[(+to)]Weshouldapplyboththeoriesinthelanguageclassroom.我们应把两种理论都运用到语言教室中去。3.使起作用;使适用[W][(+to)]Thisrulecannotbeappliedtoeverycase.这条规则并不是在每种情况下都能适用的。4.把...用(于)[(+to)]5.(后常接oneself)使致力(于),使专心从事[(+to)]HeappliedhimselftolearningFrench.他致力于学习法语。vi.1.申请,请求[(+for/to)][+to-v]HehasappliedforapostinEngland.他已申请在英国供职。2.起作用;适用[W][(+to)]3.专心致志4.有关系,相关联[W][(+to)]applicationn.n.1.应用,适用;运用[U][C][(+of/to)]Biologyhaspracticalapplications.生物学有实用性。2.申请,请求;申请书[C][U][(+to/for)][+to-v]Imadeanapplicationforaloan.我申请一笔贷款。3.施用,敷用搽剂[U][C]Theapplicationofvarnishmadethedeskshine.上了清漆桌子发亮了。4.用功,专心[U][(+to)]applicationtoone'swork专心工作interviewn.面试,接见,会见n.[C]1.接见,会见Heaskedforaninterviewwiththepresident.他要求与校长会晤。2.(记者的)采访,访谈;访谈录3.面谈,面试Don'tbelateforyourinterview,oryouwon'tgetthejob.面试不要迟到,否则你就得不到工作了。vt.1.接见,会见;访问,采访WearenowgoingtointerviewtheMinisterofEducation.我们现在就去采访教育部长。2.对...进行面谈,面试Shehasinterviewedmostoftheapplicantsforthejob.她已和大部分申请这份工作的人面谈过。advertisevt.makeknowntopeoplebyprintinganoticeinanewspaper,etc.orbybroadcastingontelevision,etc.为...做广告vt.1.为...做广告;为...宣传Ifyouwanttosellyourproductyoumustadvertiseit.如果你要推销自己的产品,你就必须做广告。2.公布;通知Headvertisedthemofhisdecisiontowithdrawfromtheelection.他告知他们自己要退出选举的决定。3.使显眼,使突出vi.1.做(登)广告,作宣传[(+for)]Thecompanyisadvertisingfortypistsinthenewspapers.那家公司在报纸上登广告征聘打字员。advertisementn.n.1.广告,宣传[U]Advertisementhelpstosellg
