Why is the reflexive form being used here?

The speech for "parmi lesquelles un quiz de l'année qui vient de s'écouler, " is extremely unclear, and I was unable to figure it out. I played it to someone who is a native French speaker, and she couldn't figure it out either. It's the "quiz de l'année" part that is really bad.
I'm guessing example 1 uses the imparfait since it's a "continuing action", but isn't example 2 also a "continuing action" even with the fullstop separating the two?
In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?
I think the more I listen to French, the worse I get...
I'm so depressed!
What is correct " tu achetes les chaussures" or " tu achetes des chaussures"
The recording of the full lesson is not complete.
You and them are going to have fun!
as a lifelong English speaker (and teacher) this sounds odd, well ungrammatical actually. Surely we would say, or at leadt write:
You and them, you are going to have fun!
as in French.
For "And I've worked in the same town...", I put "J'ai travaillé dans the la même ville..." but the correct answer is given as "Et je travaille dans la même ville...".
Why is the present conjugation of travailler used instead of the compound tense?
