托福TPO48听力原文：
Listen to a conversation between a student and a university employee at the campus employment office.
Employee: Hi, can I help you?
Student: I hope so. My name is Mark Whitman. I’m a…
Employee: Don’t I remember you from last year? You worked in the… Where was it, the art library?
Student: Yeah, you’re good. That was me. And I really enjoyed the work.
Employee: Great, Yeah, your supervisor gave us some really great feedback at the end of the year. “Oh, he’s so organized, always on time, and helpful.”
Student: Really? Oh, I’m glad. It was a good job.
Employee: But we usually try to match students’ jobs with their academic interests.
Student: Yeah, I’m not exactly sure what career I am headed for, but librarian is a possibility. It was a great experience to learn how it works and meet some people working in the field. But for this year, well, that’s what I want to ask about.
Employee: Oh. How come you waited so long to come in? You know how fast campus jobs fill up, if you had come in earlier, you probably would have gotten the library job again. I mean since you have the experience from last year, you don't need the training and all, but it’s been filled now.
Student: Yeah, I know, but I had planned to get a job working at a restaurant off-campus this year. I really need to make more money than I did last year and working as a waiter, there is always the tips. But I’ve tried a ton of places but I haven’t found anything. I know it’s really late. But, Well, I was wondering if maybe there was some job that hadn’t been taken or maybe someone started a job, and you know, had to drop it or something?
Employee: Well, I doubt you’ll find anything.
Student: Could you possibly check? I know it’s a long shot, but my friend Susan, she takes photography classes in Harrison Hall and she sort of thought there might be an opening in the janitorial staff.
Employee: Why does your friend, the photography student think she has information about a janitorial staff opening? I’m pretty sure those jobs are filled. In fact, I remember taking lots of applications for them. Let me double check it online.
Student: She said the whole studio arts building and especially the photo lab have been kind of, sort of messy lately. I mean, she says there’s chemicals and stuff left out. And you know, it’s like no one’s been cleaning up. But that could just be, you know, students using the lab after hours or something, like after it’s been cleaned.
Employee: Hang on. There’s… There’s an asterisk next to one of the job numbers here. There’s a note. Let’s see. Your friend is right. It seems like one of the student janitors quit a couple of weeks ago for some reason. Well, whatever. It looks like this is your lucky day.
Student: Wow. That is so great. So who’s the contact person?
Employee: Check with the janitorial office.
Student: Fine. Thanks so much.

解析：在就业处的员工认出学生，且寒暄几句关于学生去年在art library的工作之后，学生说工作问题也是我想问的(But后为重要信息)，而且员工继续说，你要是早点来的话，可能就又能得到图书馆的工作了，但是你知道学校的工作职位招满是很快的。这些信息可以推断学生是为了学校的工作职位来的。
2.Why does the university employee seem surprised at the student’s request for on-campus jobs?

B.Because she expected him to apply earlier in the semester
C.Because she knows he recently quit an on-campus job

解析：员工得知学生是来找工作职位的，直接问了句：那你为什么等了这么久才来呢?你知道这些职位空缺非常快就招满了，员工的意思是，你既然之前在图书馆工作过，你有过这些经验，懂这些情况，你应该早点申请的，但是现在人都满了，已经晚了。对应选项B。

解析：在学生听到员工说自己怎么没早来申请的时候，学生解释说其实自己原本是打算找一个校外的工作的，因为他需要挣更多的钱，像做侍应生这样的，总是有小费什么的，只不过他非常努力尝试过，却没有找到，再来申请学校里的工作就迟了。
