ActiveBook Listening Comprehension Audioscript Unit 6 A. True / false [F1=Jamaican English] F1: Ruth! This report’s due tomorrow. What are you dreaming about? F2: You know, I wish I’d gone to medical school instead of business school. F1: What? Since when have you been interested in medicine? F2: Well, when I read about doctor shortages and terrible diseases, I think about how I could have made a difference in this world, an important difference…instead of doing these useless reports! F1: Well, you’re young. Maybe it’s not too late. F2: Think so? F1: Sure. But do you think maybe you could get your head out of the clouds and get back on task now? F2: Sorry about that. You can count on me. B. Multiple choice Albert Schweitzer Albert Schweitzer was born in Alsace, Germany, which is now a part of France. By the time he was 21, Schweitzer had decided on the course for his life. For nine years he would dedicate himself to the study of science, music, and religion. Then he would devote the rest of his life to serving humanity directly. Before he was 30, he was a respected writer, an organist, and an expert on the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1904, Schweitzer was inspired to help sick people in the world, so he studied medicine at the University of Strasbourg. He founded a hospital in French Equatorial Africa in 1913. Over the years, he built a large hospital that served thousands of Africans. In 1952, Schweitzer received the Nobel Prize for Peace. He used his $33,000 Nobel Prize to expand the hospital and to build a place to take care of people who had the terrible disease of leprosy. Schweitzer based his personal philosophy on a love and respect for life and on a deep commitment to serve humanity through thought and action.

I wish I hadn’t booked that ski trip for next week. Why not? You told me you were going to have the best time of your life. Well, I thought I would. But it turns out that the interviews for that cruise job are next Wednesday and the company won’t change the date. You must be really disappointed.
