听力原文：Alan: Come in ! Sally: Hi Alan—I just wondered if you would like to come out for a coffee. Alan: Oh, hi, Sally. I was just writing a letter. Sally: Writing a letter! Is your phone out of order? Alan: No—well, not exactly a letter. Alex has applied for a job at children's summer camp, and they've asked me for a character reference. Sally: Oh dear—you're not going to tell them the truth, are you? Alan: What do you mean? Sally: Well, that he's a big-headed show off who never does a day's work. Alan: Oh, come on, he's not that bad—I mean, kids love him. He's always entertaining his little brother's friends with his magic tricks. Sally: Oh, yes, he's great with children, but he's big kid himself, isn't he? Alan: Yes, I suppose he is a bit immature. Sally: And I hope they don't expect him to work before four o'clock in the afternoon. You know what he's like—he needs a bomb under him to get him up in the morning. Alan: Mm. Sally: Also, he hates taking orders from anybody. Do you remember that job he had last summer in a restaurant? He ended up throwing a bucket of water over the chef when she asked him to wash the kitchen floor. Alan: Oh no, don't remind me. But he did run that restaurant single-handed when the chef and two of the waiters were off sick with food poisoning. Sally: That's true. Hers good in a crisis. Now shall we go and get some coffee? Alan: All right. (20)
