问题         RESIDENT ASSISTANTS NEEDED FOR DORMITORIES ON CAMPUS
   The University Housing Office is now accepting applications for the position of resident assistant (RA)．Resident assistants must be full-time students in at least their second year at university and must live in the dormitory where they work as assistants to the Director of Housing．Responsibilities of RAs include checking new residents in and out of the dormitory, managing routine problems of residents, working four hours per week in the dormitory office, attending monthly meetings of all housing staff, and other related duties．Benefits include work experience and free residence in a private dormitory room.
   Now cover the passage and listen to the recording．When you hear the question, begin preparing your response.

   The woman expresses her opinion about being a resident assistant．State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
M: I think I’ll apply for resident assistant．The cost of campus housing is going up again．I’d sure like to live on campus for free-and in a private room.
W: Are you sure about that? It may not be what it seems.
M: A private room with no rent? How could you go wrong with that?
W: I only know what my friend told me．She was an RA last year, and she said it took up a lot more of her time than she thought it would．It’s that part about
"managing routine problems of residents." She said there were people knocking on her door all hours of the day, with all kinds of problems-feeling homesick, complaining about their roommates- things like that．It was impossible for her to study in her room because there were so many interruptions.
M: No kidding．It was really like that?
W: That’s what my friend said．The stress of being RA really affected her schoolwork too．She even had to drop a course because she couldn’t keep up.
M: Wow.
W: And I’m suspicious about the job description, you know, the part where it says that RAs have "other related duties." You never know what that means．It could mean ahnost anything．I mean, what will they make you do for free rent?
选项
答案 The man is thinking of applying to be a resident assistant (RA). The woman does not support this idea. One reason she gives is that her friend was an RA, and the position took a lot of her time because other students interrupted her often, so she could not study in her room. Another reason is that the stress of being an RA had a negative effect on her schoolwork. Another reason is that RAs have other related duties, which could mean almost anything.
