Youre OK? Here we go. Mike: I really do. It seems to work that way. Julia: Thanks. Mike: So how are you? Jul
2、ia: Im fine. How are you? Mike: Good. Good. Julia: So what were you guys talking about? Carlos: We were just talking about the ideal roommate. Julia: Oh. Jane: Julia, you have three roommates. Julia: Oh, yeah. Jane: What do you think makes an ideal roommate? Julia: Hmm. Well, I want my roommate to b
3、e a neat person, as I want everything to be in order. I dont like to see our rooms in a mess. Mike: You want a neat person. Id like my roommate to be very thoughtful. This is important because people who live together need to help each other. For example, if I were sick and it was my turn to clean t
4、he living room, my roommate would do it for me. And I would not hesitate to ask him to do a favor for me. In fact, Im lucky. Ive a roommate like that right now. Carlos: So you mean you like a helpful roommate, and he can always give you a hand when you are in trouble. If you ask me, I would like som
5、eone who is interesting. Jane: You mean who shares your interests? Carlos: Not only that. I mean he is really intelligent and interested in learning new things. He has different experiences from me and can share ideas with me. This roommate and I, we would immediately tell each other everything, and
6、 in this way become closer. Its a natural closeness, not something we have to work on. So just give me somebody really intelligent, and we can work together. Julia: So you are actually looking for a friend, not a roommate. A roommate doesnt have to be your best friend. If you have such high expectat
7、ions of him, you might be disappointed. A roommate is different from a friend. If you want to look for a friend, he doesnt have to be your roommate. Jane: So far, no one has mentioned honesty and I think that honesty is really important. Do you all agree with me on this? Julia: Oh, yeah. Mike: Yes,
8、I agree with you. You have to live with your roommate for a long time. If you dont trust him, how could you be happy? But if my roommate is honest, then I would want him for my friend. Now, personally, I am unwilling to live with a quiet person. I mean a person who is silent and has nothing interest
9、ing to share with me. Such a person would make me feel unhappy. Julia: Then how about a good sense of humor? Do you think it is important? Carlos: Yes, I think its important. Wouldnt it be wonderful to live with someone who sees the humor in everything? Youd have so much fun together, and youd never
10、 be bored. Mike: I agree with you, but its impossible for a roommate to be perfect. I would hate for my roommate to want me to be perfect. Wont you? We should never demand too much of our roommates. Or well ruin our relationship, and we need to remember that. Julia: OK, lets be realistic and try to
11、appreciate what we have now. Part Two Listening,Understanding, and SpeakingListening IM = man W = woman M: Hello, 776-2235. W: Oh, good evening. Its Mrs. Richards here.

13、tle boy about six or seven was standing out in front of a store window. The little child had no shoes and his clothes were old and torn. A young woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing in his pale blue eyes. She took the child by the hand and led him into the store. There she
14、bought him some new shoes and warm clothes. They came back outside into the street and the woman said to the child, Now you can go home and have a very happy holiday. The little boy looked up at her and asked, Are you God, maam? She smiled down at him and replied, No, son, Im just one of his childre

The younger woman leaving the supermarket was in a hurry, but she stopped and turned to look. She saw an old lady with a small bag of groceries at her feet. She was br

But when she saw the old woman, who loo第 2 页 共 28 页ked very tired, she said, Of course. The old woman took hold of the younger womans arm and they walked together slowly and talked.
