　　听力长对话1点评：第一篇长对话是一期访谈节目，主题是对一位自主创业人士的一次访谈，难度一般，要拿满分应该不难。主持人问及男士是如何想到要自己创业的，自己的自行车行是否有固定营业时间，以及是否雇佣了一些员工。男士则顺着主持人的问话，谈及了自己的创业历程，店里的营业时间与方式等。考生在听的过程中，需要理解这些短语的意思，如have ones heart on it，意思是决心，一定要，stand in the way，意思是阻碍，挡道。一般四级考生，这些短语在平常的学习中应该是有所积累的，不是难题。

　　Conversation 2

　　W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.

　　M: Yes, but Im not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?

　　W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So its still very important. In fact, 80% of Spains machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, theres still a little. But its no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?
