silence in which he has unconsciously covered himself, but ...
Q: What does the man mean?
12. W: Have you made your peace with your wife yet?
M: I've certainly tried, but she refused to talk to me last night. And when I arose this morning, she had already left for her aunt's.
W: When will she return?
M: Haven't the slightest idea.
Q: What happened between the man and his wife?
13. M: What is it like to live here?
W: It's terrible. It used to be quieter when I went to school here. I still remember that I often sat alone on the bench that stood beneath an oak tree at the edge of the trail.
M: And nothing disturbed you?
W: Yeah. Being alone there, my thoughts quickly flew this way and that.
Q: What does the woman imply?
14. W: When my husband's friend Bob visited us, I just left them alone for the most part.
M: Why?
W: Because he was so different from other people and I couldn't understand him.
M: Did he notice your absence?
W: No, he didn't. Sometimes 1 imposed my company upon him, accompanying him in his idle walks to the mill.
M: Did he want you to accompany him?
W: No, that was the last thing he would desire.
Q: What does the woman mean?
15. W: Peter is a quiet boy. He seldom says a thing.
M: Well, let me tell you. His brother Tom is just the opposite.
Q: What kind of a person is Tom?
16. M: Do you often see our fellow students?
W: I did for a while until I left university, but after that not really.
M: Yeah, I've lost touch with most people as well, but I still see Peggy occasionally.
W: Oh, yeah. How's she getting on?
M: Ok, I suppose, but she's had a rough time in the last few years. She got divorced.
Q: Whom do the man and woman talk about?
17. M: Did you hear about Mrs. Baroda?
W: Yes, I did. She was a~ upright and respectable woman. She was also very sensible. It's a pity that the world has lost a great modern dancer.
Q: What happened to Mrs. Baroda?
18. W: When is your friend going?
M: Not for a week yet, dear. I don't understand why you ask my friend to leave our house. Actually he gives you no trouble.
W: No. I should like him better if he did; if he were more like the others, I could plan somewhat for his comfort and enjoyment.
M: He just came here to take a rest, so please don't make a fuss over him.
W: Fuss! Nonsense! How can you say such a thing?
Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?
19. M: Oh, it's you, Mrs. Johnson. Come in and sit down. Now, what was it? Oh, yes, your leg. Has there been any improvement since last week?
W: Well, no. I'm afraid not, doctor. It's still the same.
M: I'd better have another look at it. Hmm! Still very swollen. Have you been resting it, as I told you to?
W: It's so difficult to rest it; doctor, you know, with a house to run, and six children and ...
Q: What made it difficult for the woman to follow the man's advice?
20. M: You are very nice to me and I've had a delightful time. I really appreciate your inviting me here and spending so much time showing me around.
W: Oh, it was fun for me, too. It gave me a chance to get away from routine and do something a little bit different.

UNDERSTANDING LONG CONVERSATIONS
(Emma, Bill and Tim are talking about friendship.)
Emma: How important are friends to you, Bill?
Bill: I've never had a lot of friends. I've never regarded them as particularly important. Perhaps that's because I come from a big family -- two brothers and three sisters, and lots of cousins. That's what's really important to me. My family. The different members of my family. If you really need help, you get it from your family, don't you? Well, at least that's what I've always found. What about you, Emma?
Emma: To me friendship.., having friends.., people I know I can really count on... to me that's the most important thing in life. It's more important even than love. If you love someone, you can always fall out of love again, and that can lead to a lot of hurt feelings, bitterness, and so on. But a good friend is a friend for life.
Bill: And what exactly do you mean by a friend?
Emma: Well, I've already said, someone you know you can count on. I suppose what I really mean is... Mm... let's see, how am I going to put this.., it's someone who will help you if you need help, who'll listen to you when you talk about your problems.., someone you can trust. What do you mean by a friend, Tim?
Tim: Someone who likes the same things as you do, whom you can argue with and not lose your temper, even if you don't always agree with him. I mean someone you don't have to talk to all the time but can be silent with, perhaps. That's important, too. You can just sit together and not say very much sometimes. Just relax. I don't like people who talk all the time.

Conversation 2
W: You know, it doesn't look like you've cleaned the living room.
M: No, I haven't. Ugh. I had the worst day. I am so tired. Look, I promise I'll do it this weekend.
W: Listen, I know the feeling. I'm tired, too. But I came home and I did my share of the housework. I mean, that's the agreement, right?
M: All right. We agreed. I'll do it in a minute.
W: Come on. Don't be that way. You know, I shouldn't have to ask you to do anything. I mean, we both work, we both live in the house, we agreed that housework is...is both of our responsibility. I don't like to have to keep reminding you about it.
M: What's the matter with you today? You are displeased.
W: It's us.
M: What do you mean by "us"?
W: Well, we used to talk to each other before we were married. Remember?
M: What do you mean? We're talking now, aren't we?
W: Oh, yes, but we used to do so much together.
M: We still go to the cinema together, don't we?
W: Yes, but we used to go out for walks together. Remember?
M: Of course, I do.
W: And we used to do silly things, like running barefoot through the park...
M: Yes. I used to catch terrible colds. Honestly, you are being totally ridiculous.
W: But we never argued. You used to think I was wonderful. Once...(sound of the door opening) Where are you going?
M: Back to live with my parents. That's something else we never used to do before we were married. Remember?

UNDERSTANDING PASSAGES
Listening Task 1 Passage1
Peter and Rhoda were going steady for two years. Everyone thought they were going to get married. One evening while they were eating in a restaurant, Peter said to Rhoda:
"You know, Rhoda, you're the only girl I really know well. We are both very young, and I think we must try to make new friends and have new experiences. If we still love each other after all that, then we can get married."
"That's true, isn't it? But I don't want to stop our relationship, do you? We can see each other, can't we? "
"No, Rhoda, not for a while."
"I guess you're right, but I'm going to miss you very much."
"I'm going to miss you, too, Rhoda."
The months passed. Rhoda and Peter were very lonely. Rhoda finally decided to try a computer dating service. She filled out an application which stated what she liked in a person. Soon the phone rang. It was Andre Legros who received her name from the computer service. They arranged to meet that evening for coffee. While she was waiting for Andre, Peter came in. She asked him:
"What are you doing here? "
"Well, I have a blind date for tonight with a girl named April May. It's a computer match. What are you doing here? "
"I'm waiting for my blind date. His name is Andre Legros."
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Rhoda began to laugh. She said:
"I'm April May."
Peter looked surprised. After a moment, he said:
"And I'm Andre Legros. This was no mismatch, was it? It was meant to be."
