SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文：M: Lisa, do you think it's good that Miss Rice's been nominated to be chairman of the department？

W: Yes, I do. Rice is so well liked. She really gets along with people well. She really knows how to handle them.

M: That's true. And I do think it's nice that it's a woman that's been nominated. You know women have had trouble for such a long time. But in the long run I think it's important that a man is the head of the English department.

W: Why？ And what's so special about a man？

M: Because men are stronger than women.

W: I don't think that has anything to do with it. I think we should look at it as to who is more qualified.

M: But I think men are basically, inherently stronger than women.

W: Don't be so chauvinistic, Garry. Look at Thatcher, for example. She is an exception to the rule.

M: I think that she's just lucky enough to beat the men at their own game.

W: Well, Garry. That's because women aren't so accepted, it may be putting Rice in a difficult situation if she is made department head. And that's why we have to support her, even bring up false arguments.

M: Well, I'm just wondering how her fellow male colleagues in the university are going to react to a woman as the department head.

W: That's a good point, and I think that since we all know she's qualified, so with our support she can do it.

M: OK, I will try.
