听力原文：Man: The interesting part of the job is the staff development side - arranging training and organising appraisals. And we're doing more of that because more training time is necessary to keep staff up-to-date with computer applications. It's nice to do this as a change from the routine of advertising, interviewing, drawing up staff contracts, etc.

Bad Days for Young Drivers1. Since July 1st large numbers of Californian teenagers have been having a hard time. The reason: all those obtaining their driving licences after that date are prohibited for a year from driving at night unless accompanied by someone over the age of 25. Worse, during the first six months of driving, they may not carry any passengers under the age of 20. They cannot get a licence at all until they have completed 50 hours of driving, ten of them at night, under adult supervision; and they cannot get a full licence until they have driven for a year with no violations.2. All this is very much stricter than the previous regulations, which explains why, in the days before July 1st, every local office of the California Motor Vehicle Department was crammed with desperate young people. But the state has been moved to act - as others have - by the disproportionate involvement of teenagers in fatal accidents.3. In California, 16-19-year-olds make up 3.9% of the state's 20m motorists; but they account for 10.2% of all drivers in injury collisions and 8.9% of those in collisions that prove fatal. Across the country, 14% of all drivers involved in fatal crashes in 1996 were 15-20 years old. In the words of the CMVD, 'inexperience, immature judgment and a tendency to take risks place them at a disadvantage behind the wheel.'4. It was Maryland, in the mid-1970s, that first analysed accidents by age-group and, as a result, brought in tougher restrictions on young drivers. After two decades, collisions involving young drivers fell by 10%. But the state was still unhappy, and last year a new law came in that required a written diary recording all supervised practice time with an adult, as well as 18 months of driving without violations. California's new law is modelled on one introduced in 1986 in Michigan, where over 500 specially trained testers have been recruited to examine the new drivers.5. California's teenagers might protest, however, that they are not the only dangerous people on the state's roads. The largest group involved in accidents between midnight and 3am are drivers in their early 20s, and this is also the largest group involved in accidents caused by alcohol. As for future trends, the number of teenage drivers is falling, while the numbers of those over 65 - many of them have poor eyesight, slow reactions and take pills - is growing fast.
