原文:M:I see on your resume that you worked as a manager of a store called Computer Country.【第19題答案位置,定位詞:manager,store,computer。首回合對(duì)話出題】Could you tell me a little more about your responsibilities there?
W:Sure.I was responsible for overseeing about 30 employees.I did all of the ordering for the store and I kept track of the inventory.
M:What was the most difficult part of your job? 【提示第20題答案,定位詞:最高級(jí)the most difficult】
W:Probably handling angry customers.【第20題答案位置:handling angry customers和選項(xiàng)中的customer complaints屬于同義替換】We didn't have them very often,but when we did,I need to make sure they were well taken care of.After all,the customer is always right.
M:That's how we feel here,too.How long did you work there?
W:I was there for three and a half years.I left the company last month.
M:And why did you leave?【注意問(wèn)答形式】
W:My husband has been transferred to Boston and I understand that your company has an opening there,too.【第21題答案位置,選項(xiàng)中的She wants to be with her husband與此句屬于同義替換】
M:Yes,that's right.We do.But the position won't start until early next month.【第22題答案位置】Would that be a problem for you?
W:No,not at all.My husband's new job doesn't begin for a few weeks,so we thought we would spend some time driving to Boston and stop to see my parents.
M:That sounds nice.So,tell me,why are you interested in this particular position?
W:I know that your company has a great reputation and wonderful product.I've thought many times that I would like to be a part of it.When I heard about the opening in Boston,I jumped to the opportunity.
M:Well,I'm glad you did.
