答案解析

Section B
Passage One
[26]Both John and Sue joined the staff of a successful public relation's firm in New York during the same year. They had just completed their PR degrees at a nearby university and were thrilled to be hired by one of the finest PR firms in the city. John's first assignment was to create a promotion campaign for a client who was to put in a new game on the market. Initially Sue was assigned to work with a sportswear company on the marketing concept for its newest line of clothing. As time passed and work with their respective first clients became more and more difficult, John and Sue realized that they had been assigned two of the toughest accounts in town. Although John completed his assignment quickly and successfully, [27]he was furious when he learned that the boss had deliberately assigned him a difficult account. In response, he not only complained to his colleagues, but also to the boss's secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several additional months to actually complete the project. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignments purposely. Over the next two years John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered. [28]Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully and when problems arose she responded with her characteristic, "No problem, I can handle it." Although Sue took longer to complete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, [29]Sue was given the first promotion when there came a vacancy.

27. Why was John furious after he finished his first assignment?
正确答案：C
解析：录音提到，当John得知老板故意分配他去接待一个难缠的客户时，他很恼火，因此C“他觉得老板对他不公平”正确。根据“Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client”可知A错。
28. What's Sue's attitude to difficult tasks?
正确答案：C
