2013上海高考英語聽力文本

　　I am Linn. My previous job was as principal of a language school where I received awards for training teachers to teach more effectively. A year ago, I started an international company. I spent months conducting programs in the US and Russia. During this time, some Russia immigrants came to stay in my house. Fortunately, these visitors helped a lot at home and made the life easier. At the same time, I wrote several books to be published by my company and coedited a book for a major publisher. I am grateful I have a photographic memory, so I can remember everything I see. Otherwise, I might not be that productive. In addition to my work, I have a family at home. Some of my children have had serious health problems from birth. But I try to handle those problems well and efficiently. With tremendous help from my parents, the kids are fed, and clothed and educated. I am busy from the time I get up until the time I go to bed. My time has to be carefully planned. I do not like to be interrupted because I want to accomplish my goals.
