　　整体解析：

　　今年的第一篇passage讲了一个有趣的故事。电脑公司信任销售主管Alex Gordon准备为各区域经理做演讲。他准备的相当充分，希望能通过这次演讲把自己对事业的热情积极心态传递给这些项目经理。可是，在他演讲完后，区域经理们的反应并不像他期待中的那样好。原来，他在演讲中的用词得罪了在场的、从底层的基本工作做起的女员工。从内容上来看，这篇文章的题材属于人物故事类。

　　第二篇文章讲的是投诉的技巧。作者首先举了一个在餐厅投诉的例子，强调大吼大叫式的粗鲁方式时行不通的，我们应该有礼貌地、清晰地讲述我们的不满。另一方面，作者认为通过信件投诉是不可取的，因为你看不到对方的反应。最后，作者指出投诉是不能过多陈述细节。这样容易混淆重点。

　　第三篇还是人物故事类的文章。全职妈妈Barbara曾是一名出色的建筑师，专为政府设计建筑。在生完孩子后，Barbara还是决定要重回工作岗位，体现自己在社会中的价值。而她丈夫则觉得照顾家庭更重要。在一个家庭中母亲的角色是谁也代替不了的。这个话题与2006年12月四级真题中“15选10”的文章话题不谋而合。相信做过真题的同学不会感到陌生。

　　以下是2010年6月19日英语四级听力 “长对话原文”：

　　长对话原文第一篇：

　　W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve?

　　M: Oh, I have to work very long hours, about 11 hours a day.

　　W: What time do you start?

　　M: I work 9 to 3. Then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11. Six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours.

　　W: And do you have to work at the weekend?

　　M: Oh, yes, that’s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.

　　W: What are the things you have to do, and the things you don’t have to do?

　　M: Eh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.

　　W: What’s hard about the job?

　　M: You’re standing up all the time. When we’re busy, people get angry and sharp. But that’s normal.

　　W: How did you learn the profession?

　　M: Well, I did a two year course at college. In the first year, we had to learn the basics. And then we had to take the exams.

　　W: Was it easy to find a job?

　　M: I wrote to about six hotels. And one of them gave me my first job. So I didn’t have to wait too long.

　　W: And what’s the secret of being good at your job?

　　M: Attention to detail and you have to love it. You have to show passion for it.

　　W: And what are your plans for the future?

　　M: I want to have my own place when the time is right.

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. What does the man say about his job?

　　20. What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?

　　21. Where did the man get his first job after graduation?

　　22. What does the man say is important to being good at his job?

　　四级长对话第一篇：

　　19. B)It requires him to work long hours.

　　20. D) It demands physical endurance and patience.

　　21. D) In a hotel.

　　22. B) Paying attention to every detail.

　　解析：本篇长对话可以归入求职场景，对话形式为访谈。根据我们昂立四级课堂上为大家强调的“首尾技巧”，长对话开头结尾个设置了一题，即19题和22题，所以这两道题目对于考生来说，还是比较容易把握的。第20题的题干 “What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?”, 与听力原文 “What’s hard about the job?” 措辞基本一致，答案比容交易抓住，原文为 “You’re standing up all the time. When we’re busy, people get angry and sharp. But that’s normal.”, 意为“你总是站着;繁忙的时候，客人会生气，变得尖刻，但是这很正常”，对应的正确答案进行了抽象化概括，为“It demands physical endurance and patience.”，意思是“这份工作需要体力上的耐力和耐心”。
