34、品時，顧客又會跑回去拿很多商品回來，更需要收銀員提醒付錢，但這都是作者作為收銀員所應忍受的，因為 “顧客是上帝，這是作者不敢忘記也是從這次經歷中學到的事情。這篇文章根本上沒有生僻的詞匯，以表達為主。但是其中有幾個短語需要關注：grocerystore意為“雜貨店；ringup 意為“用收銀機記錄收入的錢，收銀機掃條形碼； card 意為“信用卡。理解了這些詞，對聽力的整體理解會有提升。Passage 2ThespeechdeliverystyleofEuropeansandAsianstendsto be very formal.Speakers of these cultures often
