22、oesJohnsayabouttheirannualvacation?案：D.Theyeachtakeaweek.以往的长对话而言，比拟简单。依然是主要针对答复下列问题的人提问，就是对话中的男士。男士一开始主要是谈他们在最初开始合作工作时遇到的问题，接下来谈到问题最终如何得到解决，最后是他和同伴如何轮休年假。当然，对话中公司名称听不懂，形成干扰。依然要强调的是不能纠结个别词汇，而因小失大。对话中围绕工作的话题词汇有：schedul安排；sales vacation假；full-time employee：全职员工。Questions22to25arebasedontheconversation

34、品时，顾客又会跑回去拿很多商品回来，更需要收银员提醒付钱，但这都是作者作为收银员所应忍受的，因为 “顾客是上帝，这是作者不敢忘记也是从这次经历中学到的事情。这篇文章根本上没有生僻的词汇，以表达为主。但是其中有几个短语需要关注：grocerystore意为“杂货店；ringup 意为“用收银机记录收入的钱，收银机扫条形码； card 意为“信用卡。理解了这些词，对听力的整体理解会有提升。Passage 2ThespeechdeliverystyleofEuropeansandAsianstendsto be very formal.Speakers of these cultures often
