点评：
本长对话的内容主要是关于合伙工作。
对话内容相较以往的长对话而言，比较简单。
依然是主要针对回答问题的人提问，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：
schedule：
（工作）计划，安排；salesrepresentative：
销售代表；vacation：
假期，休假；full-timeemployee：
全职员工。

点评：
本长对话主要是关于超速被罚。
本对话中涉及到较多交通词汇，有一定难度。
对话一开始女士作为交警在学校附近逼停超出该路段限速的男士，但男士狡辩自己的速度计（speedometer）并没显示超速；女士再次提出要求审查男士的驾照，发现其驾照已经过期。
最后，男士因驾照过期而收到警告。
本选材非常生活化，相信大部分考生应该对这一话题并不陌生，通过日常常识也能做出不少判断。
本对话中关于交通话题的词汇：
speedlimit：
限速；giveyouaticket：
开罚单；license：
执照，驾照；speedometer：
n.速度计；里程计。

点评：
本篇短文主要讲述了作者在一家杂货店兼职工作的经历和感受，并深刻地体会到顾客不仅仅是来商店买东西的人。
作者认为，当顾客推起一辆购物车时，所有的事情就抛之脑后了。
他们不会算计一件商品值多少钱，他们忘了自己来商店要买什么，他们甚至忘记要为商品付钱，他们不知道东西买够没有就去收银台排队结账，当收银员开始扫顾客的商品时，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。
这篇文章基本上没有生僻的词汇，以叙述为主。
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”；creditcard意为“信用卡”。
理解了这些词，对听力的整体理解会有提升。
