二：

[00:00.89]Directions: In this section,

[00:05.44]you will hear a passage three times.

[00:07.41]When the passage is read for the first time,

[00:10.11]you should listen carefully for its general idea.

[00:13.04]When the passage is read for the second time,

[00:16.28]you are required to fill in the blanks

[00:19.08]with the exact words you have just heard.

[00:22.17]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,

[00:25.84]you should check what you have written.

[00:30.73]Now listen to the passage.

[00:32.75]In the center of a big city

[00:35.36]there are usually dozens of

[00:37.18]large office buildings that house big banks,

[00:39.41]corporation headquarters, and government agencies.

[00:42.56]Thousands of people work in these buildings.

[00:46.37]People who do all the office work are called white-collarworkers.

[00:50.13]Secretaries and receptionists, bookkeepers and computer operators

[00:55.73]work for many different kinds of companies.

[00:59.17]Many office workers dream of working their way up to the top,

[01:03.52]from clerk to president of a corporation.

[01:06.52]The way lies through middle management.

[01:09.33]Middle management includes junior executives,

[01:12.10]who may fill specialized jobs,

[01:14.44]supervise other workers in the company,

[01:18.10]recommend action to top management,

[01:20.29]or see that the company's policies are being carried out.

[01:23.03]At the very top are the senior executives.

[01:26.83]They establish the policies

[01:29.51]for their own companies, especially financial matters.

[01:32.87]The Chief Executive Officer, or CEO,

[01:36.17]of a large corporation

[01:37.99]has a great deal of power and influence.

[01:41.28]It is believed that one can start out

[01:44.74]at the bottom and go all the way to the top.

[01:47.23]Because financial matters are so important,

[01:51.23]some accountants become top executives.

[01:53.61]In companies where technology is important,

[01:56.80]people with an engineering background can also rise to the top.

[02:00.41]Nowadays, however, education plays a central part

[02:05.45]in the selection of people for management jobs.

[02:08.02]Universities in many countries

[02:10.69]offer courses in business administration.

[02:12.52]The graduates of these courses

[02:15.31]often start out in middle management jobs.

[02:18.12]From there, they can easily get promoted

[02:20.88]if they show the necessary personality and ability.
