六級英語考試復合式聽寫原文
If you are like most people, youve indulged in fake listening many times. You go to history class, sit in the 3rd row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away, floating in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally you come back to earth. The instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you dutifully copy it in your notebook. Every once in a while the instructor makes a witty remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You smile politely, pretending that youve heard the remark and found it mildly humorous. You have a vague sense of guilt that you arent paying close attention. But you tell yourself that any material you miss can be picked up from a friends notes. Besides, the instructors talking about road construction in ancient Rome, and nothing could be more boring. So back you go into your private little world, only later do you realize youve missed important information for a test. Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers are sensitive to facial cues and can tell if youre merely pretending to listen. Your blank expression, and the faraway look in your eyes are the cues that betrayed you inattentiveness. Even if you are not exposed theres another reason to avoid fakery. Its easy for this behavior to become a habit. For some people, the habit is so deeply rooted that they automatically start daydreaming when a speaker begins talking on something complex or uninteresting. As a result, they miss lots of valuable information.

M: Hello, and welcome to our program, Working Abroad. Our guest this evening is a Londoner, who lives and works in Italy. Her names Susan Hill. Susan, welcome to the program. You live in Florence, how long have you been living there?
W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, I planned to stay for only 6 months.
M: Why did you change your mind?
W: Well, Im a designer, I design leather goods, mainly shoes, and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italys top fashion houses, Ferregamo. So, I decided to stay.
M: How lucky! Do you still work for Ferregamo?
W: No, Ive been a freelance designer for quite a long time now. Since 1988, in fact.
M: So does that mean you design for several different companies now?
W: Yes, thats right. I design many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and during last four years, Ive also been designing for the British company, Burberrys.
M: What have you been designing for them?
W: Mostly handbags, and small leather goods.
M: Hows the fashion industry in Italy change since 1982?
W: Oh, yes. Its become a lot more competitive. Because of quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But its high quality and design is still world-famous.
M: And do you ever think of returning to live in England?

M:What? For teaching?

W：She said she would never have bought an Italian style dress if she had known Mary had already got such a dress.
Q：What do we learn from the conversation?
