托福TPO/Official 25 Con 1听力原文According to the woman, why was the program's curriculum changed?【新东方在线】

旁白：听一段学生和他学术导师的一段对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and his academic advisor.

教授：你好，马克。我可以帮你点什么？

Professor: Hi, Mark. What can I do for you?

学生：我在给院长办公室填写毕业许可表，我不知道，我希望我下个学期可以毕业。

Student: I am just filling out this approval for graduation form for the dean's office, and I don't know, I hope I will be able to graduate next semester.

教授：好的，只要你满足了专业要求，并且暗示提交表格，你就不应该有任何问题。

Professor: Well, as long as you've met the departmental requirements and you submit the form on time, you shouldn't have any problem.

记得要包括所有你为你学位上的金融及其他选修课。

Make sure you include all the classes you will have taken for your degree in finance and the electives too.

学生：好的，但是当我看表格时，我感到很困惑，因为从样子看来，嗯……他们改变了要求。

Student: Yeah, but as I look over the form, I got confused because of the way, um…they've changed the requirements.

所以现在我不是很肯定我下个学期是否可以毕业。

So now I am not sure I will be qualified to graduate next semester.

我知道，在原来的要求下，我可以毕业。

I know I would, before, under the old requirements.

教授：当贸易专业，由于增加的全球化贸易改变课程，包括更多国际贸易课程时。

Professor: Well, when the business department changed the curriculum to include more courses in international business, to...well, because of the increasing globalization of business.

我们确保那些已经完成他们第二学年的，那些已经处于他们4年学习中的第三年的学生，不会受到影响。

We made sure that students who have finished their second year, that is, those who are in their third or fourth year, wouldn't be affected.

新的规则只对第一或者第二学年的学生适用。

The new rules only apply to students in their first or second year.

呃……我听说这个专业也在招聘新的教员，去教授一些新的课程。

Uh... the department's hiring new faculty too I heard, to teach some of the new courses.

教授：是的。有一个新教员被雇佣了。

Professor: Yes. One new faculty member has been hired.

事实上，她会教授国际银行业务。

She will be teaching International Banking as a matter of fact.

学生：事实上，那是我想问的——国际银行业务。

Student: Actually, that's what I want to ask about--International Banking.

我上过国际银行业务1，但是没上过2.

I took International Banking 1, but I never took International Banking 2.

过去国际银行业务2是选修的，但是这个现在变成了必修课。

It used to be that the second semester of International Banking was an elective, but now it says it's a required class.

教授：是的，这也是最近的变化之一，所以……

Professor: Yes. But that's one of the recent changes. So...

学生：哦，好的。下个学期我打算拿管理课程，但是我不知道它算不算……在我的专业里面。

Student: Oh, Oh, OK. Oh. And ... and I am planning to take a management course next semester, but I don't know if it's ... if it will count toward my major.

教授：是的。这个会算在你专业里。

Professor: Yes. That will count toward your major.

那么看上去你会有所有你需要完成的课程。

So it looks like you will have all the required classes you need.

我认为你已经上过论文研讨班了？

学生：是的，我上了市场营销研讨班。

Student: Yeah, I took the marketing seminar.

为了安全起见，你为什么不在你递交表格之前，和院长办公室的人谈一谈？

Just to be on the safe side, why don't you talk to someone in the dean's office before you give them the form?

学生：好的。所以我需要向他们解释，即使其中一门课从选修课变成必修课，我仍然不需要去上这门课？

Student: OK. So should I just explain to them that even though one of these classes got changed from an elective to a required class, I don't have to take it?

教授：是的。你已经符合了毕业的要求。

Professor: Yes. You've met the requirements for graduation.

如果有什么事情需要我做……如果我需要写一封信或者什么的，就告诉我。

And if there's something I need to do ... if I need to write a letter or whatever, just let me know.

学生：好的，谢了。如果我需要信我会告诉你的。

Student: OK. Thanks. I'll let you know if I need that letter.

According to the woman, why was the program's curriculum changed?

What does the woman imply about the new departmental requirements?

Why does the woman mention writing a letter?

Narrator 
Listen to a conversation between a student and his academic advisor. 
Professor 
Hi, Mark. What can I do for you? 
Student 
I am just filling out this approval for graduation form for the dean's office, and I don't know, I hope I will be able to graduate next semester. 
Professor 
Well, as long as you've met the departmental requirements and you submit the form on time, you shouldn't have any problem. Make sure you include all the classes you will have taken for your degree in finance and the electives too.

That's good to know. Uh... the department's hiring new faculty too I heard, to teach some of the new courses. But I want to... 
Professor 
Yes. One new faculty member has been hired. She will be teaching International Banking as a matter of fact. 
Student 
Actually, that's what I want to ask about - International Banking. I took International Banking l, but I never took International Banking 2. It used to be that the second semester of International Banking was an elective, but now it says it's a required class.

Yes. But that's one of the recent changes. So... 
Student 
Oh, Oh, OK. Oh. And ... and I am planning to take a management course next semester, but I don't know if it's ... if it will count toward my major. 
Professor 
What's the course? 
Student 
Organizational Behavior. 
Professor 
Yes. That will count toward your major. That's a difficult class, you know. But well worth it. So it looks like you will have all the required classes you need. You should be just fine. Uh... I assume you have taken a seminar? 
Student 
Yeah, I took the marketing seminar. 
Professor 
OK. You are looking good. Just to be on the safe side, why don't you talk to someone in the dean's office before you give them the form?
