【答案解析】[听力原文]14-16
I enjoy talking to prople. Once you start getting regular customers, you take your time to talk, which makes the job more enjoyable. It also makes me wonder about people. Some people are out working like every penny counts. Other people, it's a status thing with them. They really like to talk about it. I had a man the other day who was buying stock. "Oh, well, I'm buying fifty thousand dollars worth of AT & T, and I'm also interested in ... ". He wouldn't stop talking. He was trying to impress me that he had money, therefore he was somebody.
Money doesn't mean that much to me. To me, it's not money to me unlesss I'm the one who's taking the money out or cashing the check. That's money because it's mine. Otherwise it doesn't re- ally mean anything, somebody asked ale "Doesn't it bother you handling all that money all day long?'. I said, "It's not money to me. I'm a magician. I'll show you how it works." So I counted out paper. I said, "Over there, at this window, it's nothing. Over there, at that window, it's money." If you were going to think about it every minute: "Oh, look, here's five thousand dollars, vow! Where could I go on five-thousand dollars? Off to Bermuda. " You'd get a hang up, and so dissatisfied at having to deal with money that is not yours, you couldn't work.
[精解] 本题考查考生的推理判断能力。在文章中没有明确说明说话者的身份，因此考生要通过他谈话的内容来进行判断。首先考生应当审题，对四种职业身份有所熟悉。听完文章后，考生应当排除最不可能的选项。首先文章没有提到shop，所以可以先排除 A，其次从文章的语气可以看出说话者不是customer。答案可以从原文“To me，it's not money to me unlesss I'm the one who's taking the money out or cashing”，“So I counted out paper．”中推断出来，出纳员的工作就是为别人cash checks 或count cashes．
