【答案解析】[听力原文] {{B}}Unemployment{{/B}} Most people are much more frightened by being unemployed than they need to be. / Being unemployed certainly has disadvantages, /but there are good things about it too./ One advantage is that you don't have to get up early to go to work in the rush hour. /You can stay in bed as long as you like, /and there is plenty of time to read the newspaper and have a leisurely breakfast. /But the best thing of all is that you are your own boss and there is no one to tell you what to do and when to do it. / One drawback of being unemployed is that you haven't got much money coming in/--having a job at least enables you to save a lot of money to go on holiday. /On the other hand, /when you are unemployed you needn't go on holiday, /because you are on holiday already. /In fact, the main trouble is that you have to spend much time looking for a job. / [解析] 这篇听写材料属于议论性质。从失业的好处和坏处两个方面进行了分析，材料的层次性很强，比较容易听懂。文中的rush hour和 leisurely可能在听第一遍时会造成困扰，但是如果掌握全文的大意，这两处就很容易理解。另外文中的动名词、分词形式较多，要注意拼写。
