之前分別說了第一和第二大題，接下來就是第三大題了。

聽力的第三部分，是比較複雜的，從一段對話中回答題組

直接來看例子囉

W: Hi! Tim, how much money did you raise at the fundraiser for the orphanage last night?

M:Only 5000 dollars. We were really hoping to make over 20000 dollars, so it’s a real disappointment.

W:The economy is very weak right now. Bank if Chicago and IntelliCorp just cut 30000 workers,and a lot of them must have been based here in Chicago at their headquarters. Everyone is nerverous about the economy.

M:Yes I know, we just have to hope things to improve next year.

D) People did'nt care much about the orphanage

 好了， 看完題目有沒發現其實就是考你的情境裡解呢?

其實這部分沒有之前那個大題那麼需要反應快，可以慢慢在題目中找線索

我們先來解單字吧

foundraiser 是募款人或募款活動  

found 就是基金 raise  本來有撫養的意思但在金錢上只募款

orphanage 是孤兒院的意思，從orphan 這個字是孤兒的意思來的。

based 就是以.... 為基礎， headquarter 就是相較於許多分公司的總公司或是總管理的中心

economy 就是經濟， 通常用strong or weak 來形容它

而問題選項的boom 意思為蓬勃，很有動能的前進，蒸蒸日上的

通常也用在經濟狀況上，poor 是貧窮的意思，用在副詞時就是，很糟很簡陋的意思，選項中的organized 就是組織規劃

整句話的意思就會是 募款會的安排和組織很糟糕

好，講完了大意 就清楚明瞭了吧

所以這大題就是考驗單字和聽力的速度囉。加油拉同學們!
