　　 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题答案,定位词:最高级the most difficult】

　　 W:Probably handling angry customers.【第20题答案位置:handling angry customers和选项中的customer complaints属于同义替换】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?【注意问答形式】

　　 W:My husband has been transferred to Boston and I understand that your company has an opening there,too.【第21题答案位置,选项中的She wants to be with her husband与此句属于同义替换】

　　 M:Yes,that's right.We do.But the position won't start until early next month.【第22题答案位置】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.
