JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract？
LORRIE: Yes．I've read it carefully.
JOHN: And do you have any questions？
LORRIE: No．But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week．Will you have that many classes for me right away？
JOHN: No, probably not．For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month．Will you pay me that much for the first month？ Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.
JOHN: I understand．That's why I didn't write the date on the contract．For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach．When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect．Is that alright with you？
LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today．Is that right？
JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs．We are very serious about hiring you．We want you to teach for us．We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.
LORRIE: I can accept that.
JOHN: Good．And your benefits will begin immediately.
LORRIE: Even my health insurance？
JOHN: Yes．We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow．And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.
LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.
JOHN: What would you like to know？
LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members？ I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels？
JOHN: Absolutely．The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.
LORRIE: What are bar vouchers？
JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers．The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge．But we don't offer vouchers to employees.
LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.
JOHN: That's fight．So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members．You get more benefits than they do.
LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract．But we won't sign it yet．Is that right？
JOHN: Yes．I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.
LORRIE: I understand．And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job．I look forward to it.
JOHN: I'm very pleased．We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

Passage two 2016年6月英语六级卷一试题
What can be done about mass unemployment？ All the wise heads agree: there’re no quick or easy answers. There’s work to be done, but workers aren’t ready to do it—they’re in the wrong places, or they have the wrong skills, Our problems are “structural, ”and will take many years to solve.
But don’t bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view. There isn’t any. On the contrary, all the facts suggest that high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand. saying that there’re no easy answers sounds wise. But it’s actually foolish: our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political will to act. In other words, structural unemployment is a fake problem, which mainly serves as an excuse for not pursing real solutions.
The fact is job openings have plunged in every major sector, while the number of workers forced into part-time employment in almost all industries has soared. Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category. Only three states. With a combined population not much larger than that of Brooklyn, have unemployment rates below 5%. So the evidence contradicts the claim that we’re mainly suffering from structural unemployment. Why, then, has this claim become so popular？
Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemployment—in part because experts and analysts believe that declaring the problem deeply rooted, with no easy answers, makes them sound serious.
I’ve been looking at what self-proclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression; it was almost identical to what Very Serious People are saying now. Unemployment cannot be brought down rapidly, declared one 1935 analysis, because the workforce is“unadaptable and untrained. It cannot respond to the opportunities which industry may offer. ”A few years later, a large defense buildup finally provided a fiscal stimulus adequate to the economy’s needs—and suddenly industry was eager to employ those“unadaptable and untrained”workers.
But now, as then, powerful forces are ideologically opposed to the whole idea of government action on a sufficient scale to jump-start the economy. And that, fundamentally, is why claims that we face huge structural problems have been multiplying: they offer a reason to do nothing about the mass unemployment that is crippling out economy and our society.
So what you need to know is that there’s no evidence whatsoever to back these claims. We aren’t suffering from a shortage of needed skills, We’re suffering from a lack of policy resolve. As I said, structural unemployment isn’t a real problem, it’s an excuse—a reason not to act on America’s problems at a time when action is desperately needed.

A)Corporate mismanagement.
