Sorry to keep you waiting for long. Hows life? Youre OK? Here we go.Mi

2、ke: I really do. It seems to work that way.Julia: Thanks.Mike: So how are you? Julia: 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

3、 you think makes an ideal roommate? Julia: Hmm. Well, I want my roommate to be 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

4、to help each other. For example, if I were sick and it was my turn to clean the 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 al

5、ways give you a hand when you are in trouble. If you ask me, I would like someone 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 m

6、e. This roommate and I, we would immediately tell each other everything, and 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

7、 roommate doesnt have to be your best friend. If you have such high expectations 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 real

8、ly important. Do you all agree with me on this? Julia: Oh, yeah. Mike: Yes, 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

9、 with a quiet person. I mean a person who is silent and has nothing interesting 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

10、sees the humor in everything? Youd have so much fun together, and youd never 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 relation

11、ship, and we need to remember that.Julia: OK, lets be realistic and try to appreciate what we have now. Part II LS-1:1.

14、cold evening during the holiday season, a little 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.

She saw an old lady with a small bag of groceries at her feet. She was breathing hard.If youre going toward 181st Stre

18、et, could you carry my bag for me?I dont have the time for this, the younger woman thought. But when she saw the old woman, who looked very tired, she said, Of course. The old woman took hold of the younger womans arm and they walked together slowly and talked. They were neighbors but they didnt kno

Jane: Laurie, it seems incredible that youve been with Pete for five years.Laurie: Can you believe it? Jane: Yes,

22、its hard to believe. Well, I remember you used to say that you would do anything for him, absolutely anything, now do you still think so? Laurie: I remember. People always say things like that when they fall in love, Jane.Jane: Exactly, but Im asking you now, after five years, would you do anything

23、for him? Laurie: No, not anything. Obviously, there are things I wouldnt do, just the other night, I said forget it. But what do you have in mind? Give me an example.Jane: OK, right, now lets think. Now, if um. OK, say he was wanted by the police, would you lie to protect him? Laurie: Ooh, itd depen

24、d on the crime I think. If it was a traffic ticket, probably. But no, ooh. Yes, I probably would actually even if it was a serious oneisnt that terrible? I just realized that about myself. Yes, I probably would, unless, of course, he did something to me. ML-21. TFTFF2. DDACBJane: Right. OK, well lea

25、ve that one, Laurie. What about your career? Would you give up your career? If Pete wanted you to give up your job, would you do that? Laurie: No, Jane, why could he possibly want me to give it up? Jane: Well, I dont know, say if he was feeling threatened by your success or something like that.Lauri

26、e: No, absolutely not.Jane: But he might be, what if he really wanted you to give up your career? Would you? Laurie: Of course not. Not for that reason, no. Because that would break us up eventually because of the resentment. I wouldnt ask him to give up his career, unless he changed careers and I d

27、ont know, say if he became a hit man or something.Jane: What about if he, say if he found a new religion or something, that he was completely obsessed with it and he wanted you to convert to that religion, would you do that for him? Laurie: Hes a good Catholic boy, so I somehow cant see that happeni

28、ng. You mean like some cult or something? That I think would be the beginning of the end. If someones so obsessive about religion, I think, then theres only room for that.Jane: But if you loved him? And that was part of him.Laurie: Id let him go to his God. ML-31. CDDBB2.

Times are changing, and youre never going to find a woman that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time. Wake up! Rocky: Oh really? I met a lot of women like that, just not at this p
