Advocates
of self- driving cars argue they wo
uld
be safer than in cars driven by humans

cause they
wouldn’t
get distracted or
drive w
hen tired. (1) But those
surveyed by AAA say
they
trust their own driving skills. Many feel
t

automatic
braking
or

He
estimated
that
the

lever”
will
increase

（

我在市中心接受了那家外国会计事务所的第二

M: That’s fantastic!
M：太棒了！
W: (9) The work is just
helping out with data
input. You know,
but the pay isn’t too bad. It

two
temporary
positions
available.
And
I
don’t
think
they
have
anyone
else
yet.
W：
（
9<
/p>

水不算太差。
它可能也适合你。我知道他们至少
有两个临时职位空缺。我想他们还没有其他人。

Um,
if
they
take
you
on,
tell
them
you
know a friend who’d be really good too.

afterwards.
But perhaps you should put
in an application
anyway.

W
：好的，我们会的。如果老板喜欢
我，
我会提到的。有我认识的人会很好。我以后
再打电话给你。但也许你应该把申请放进去。

Thank

you
want
a

car
today
and
nothing
else
to
do
this
morning.

about
it.

No

I

accountancy
terms.
Maybe
you
can
give
me
a
practice
interview first. M
：
（

我想我能活下

我可能只需要复习一些会计术语。<
