Man: Well--that depends. I enjoy driving, especially on long empty roads where I can go nice and fast.
学习啦在线学习网 But I'm not very fond of sitting in traffic jams waiting for lights to change, and things like that.
I suppose I don't mind being a passenger, but only if I'm sure that the other person really can drive properly.

学习啦在线学习网 There is a stream near my hut and I fetch water from there.

学习啦在线学习网 But for some reason it's never worked out.
interviewer: No? Why not?
Dennis: Hmm. I'm not really sure.
Interviewer: Well, could you perhaps describe what happened with one of these women?

学习啦在线学习网 Interviewer: And what kind of woman was she?
学习啦在线学习网 Dennis: Intelligent. Beautiful. She came from the right social background, as well. I felt I really loved her. But then something happened.
学习啦在线学习网 Interviewer: What?
Dennis: I found out that she was still seeing an old boyfriend of hers.
学习啦在线学习网 Interviewer: Was that so bad? I mean, why did you.., why did you feel that...
学习啦在线学习网 Dennis: She had told me that her relationship was all over, which.. uh ... which was a lie.
学习啦在线学习网 Inte/viewer: Are you saying that it was because she had lied to you that you decided to break off the relationship?
Dennis: Yes, yes, exactly ... Obviously, when I found out that she had lied to me, I simply couldn't ... uh ... well, I simply couldn't trust her any more.
And of course that meant that we couldn't possibly get married,

Dennis: Sarah.
Interviewer: Do you think you'll ever meet someone who meets ...
学习啦在线学习网 uh... how shall I say it ... who meets all your.., requirements?
学习啦在线学习网 Dennis: I don't know. How can I?
But I do feel it's important not to ... not to just drift into ... a relationship, simply because I might be lonely.
学习啦在线学习网 Interviewer: Are you lonely?
学习啦在线学习网 Dennis: Sometimes. Aren't we all? But I know that I can live alone, if necessary.

Taxi Driver: You're just in time. Seventy pence, please.

学习啦在线学习网 Passenger: Do you think you can get me to Victoria by half past?

学习啦在线学习网 Taxi Driver: You've still got five minutes to spare. Seventy pence,please.
学习啦在线学习网 Passenger: Thanks very much indeed. Here's' a pound, give me twenty pence, please.
学习啦在线学习网 Dialogue 3:

Passenger:Thank you.Here's the fare,and this is for you.
学习啦在线学习网 Section Two:
A. Probability:
--No luck then, John?
--Afraid not, sir. Not yet, anyhow. We're still checking on stolen cars.
--Mm.
--Where do you think he'll head for, sir?
--Well, he definitely won't try to leave the country yet.
He may try to get a passport, and he'll certainly need clothes and money.
学习啦在线学习网 He'll probably get in touch with Cornfield for those, so I expect he'll make for Birmingham.
--Right. I'll put some men on the house.
学习啦在线学习网 --Yes, do that. Mind you, I doubt if he'll show up there in person.
学习啦在线学习网 Hammond's no fool, you know. I should think he'll probably telephone.
学习啦在线学习网 --What about his wife?
--Mm. I shouldn't think he'll go anywhere near her---though he might get her to join him after he's left the country.
学习啦在线学习网 And when he does leave, he probably won't use a major airport, either.
So you'd better alert the coastguard, and keep an eye on the privat airfields.
学习啦在线学习网 --Right, sir. I'd better get his description circulated.
--Yes. He may change his appearance, of course, but I don't expect he'll be able to do much about the tattoos...
And John--becareful. He could be armed. And if I know Hammond, he cer tainly won't give himself up without a figh.
学习啦在线学习网 B. Job Hunting:
A lot of young people today find it difficult to get a job, especially in the first few months after they leave school.
学习啦在线学习网 This is much more of a problem now than it has ever been in the past.
In some parts of the country sixty or even seventy per cent of youngpeople in the last years of school will be without a job for a whole year after leaving school.
Our Jobs Information Service has been in touch with thousands of young people over the last two or three years,
talking to them about their hopes and their fears,
and we have in fact been able to give a lot of help and advice to young people who have just left school.
学习啦在线学习网 Are you recently out of school and still without a job?
Or are you still at school and worried about getting a job when you leave?
学习啦在线学习网 We have found that many people don't know who to talk to and sometimes don't know what questions to ask.
学习啦在线学习网 That is why our experience at Jobs Information Service is so important.
It will cost you nothing--just a phone call. If you would like to talk to us
and we are here to talk to you--then please phone 24987 any day between 9.00 and 5.30.
C. The Movies:
Man: I want to do something tonight for a change; let's go out.
Brian: All right, let's go to the movies.
Woman: In this heat? Are you joking?
Brian: We can go to an outdoor movie.
Do you think I'd suggest an indoor one in the middle of the summer in San Diego?
Man: Vd rather go out for a meal.
Woman: Yes, that sounds a better idea. The outdoor movies are so uncomfortable.
Brian: Why don't we do both at the same time? We could pick up some take-away food and eat it in the movie.
学习啦在线学习网 Man: That sounds like fun. What a good idea.
Woman: But they neve show any good films in the summer. At least not any of the new ones.
学习啦在线学习网 All you get is the old classics.
Brian: And what's wrong with them?
学习啦在线学习网 Woman: Oh nothing, it's just that we've seen them all half a dozen times.
学习啦在线学习网 Brian: But that's why they're classics. They're worth seeing again and again.
学习啦在线学习网 Man: You've got a point there, Brian.
学习啦在线学习网 My main objection to outdoor movies is that you can never hear properly. You hear all the traffic from outside.
学习啦在线学习网 Brian: Well, we can find a foreign film with subtitles, then you don't need to hear the sound.
Woman: Supposing it's a musical.
Brian: Oh trust you to say that!
学习啦在线学习网 I think it would be fun to sit watching an old film and eating a meal at the same time.
学习啦在线学习网 Woman: Last time I went to an outdoor movie, I bought a bar of chocolate to eat as I went in.
It was a horror film and I was so shocked I just sat there holding my bar of chocolate until the interval
学习啦在线学习网 when I found it had melted in my hand and run all down my dress. That was an expensive evening out.
Man: Well, we won't go and see a horror film, darling, and take-away meals don't melt
学习啦在线学习网 D. Radio Program:
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: Good evening and welcome to "Interesting Persona-lities."
Tonight we've got a real treat in store for you. We have here in the studio Mrs. Annie Jarman of Bristol.
Mrs. Jarman: Hello. That's me.
Presenter: Say hello to the listeners, Mrs. Jarman.
Mrs. Jarman: I just did, Hello again.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: Now Mrs. Jarman is eighty-four years old.
Mrs. Jarman: Nearly eighty-four.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: Sorry, nearly eighty-four years old and she holds...
Mrs.Jarman: Not quite.
Presenter: Yes, I explained. Now Mrs. Jarman holds the English record...
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Jarman: Eighty-three years, ten months and fifteen days.
Presenter: Good, well, now that we've got that out of the way.
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Jarman holds the English record for having failed her driving test the most times.
Mrs. Jarman: I'm still trying.
Presenter: Quite. Now precisely how many times have you failed your driving test Mrs. Jarman?
Mrs. Jarman: Well, the last attempt last Wednesday brought it up to fifty-seven times.
Presenter: Over how long a period?
Mrs. Jarman: Twenty-eight years.
Presenter:What do you think is the cause of this record, number of failures?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Jarman: Bad driving.
Presenter: Yes, quite. Well, it would be. But in what way do you drive badly?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Jarman: Every way.
Presenter: Every way?
Mrs. Jarman: Yes. I hit things. That's the really big problem, but I'm working on that.
Also I can't drive round corners. Each time I come to a corner I just drive straight on.
Presenter: Ah, yes, that would be a problem.
Mrs. Jarman: It causes havoc at roundabouts.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: I can imagine. And how many examiners have you had in all this time?
Mrs. Jarman: Fifty-seven. None of them would examine me twice.
Several left the job, said it was too dangerous.
学习啦在线学习网 One of them got out of the car at the end of the test, walked away and was never seen again.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: Oh dear. But why do you drive so badly?
Mrs. Jarman: I blame the examiners. It's all their fault. They don't do their job properly.
Presenter: Really? In what way?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Jarman: They distract my attention. They keep talking to me.
学习啦在线学习网 Turn left, turn right, park here.
By the time I've turned round to ask them what they said we're half way through a field or slowly sinking into a pond surrounded by ducks.
They should keep quiet and let me concentrate.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: But they have to tell you where to go, Mrs. Jarman.
Mrs. Jarman: Then they should give me time to stop each time before speaking to me.
Why do you think they have those notices on the buses, 'Do not speak to the driver', eh?
I'm surprised there aren't more accidents.
Presenter: How long do your tests usually'last, Mrs. Jarman?
Mrs. Jarman: Two or three minutes. Not longer. They've usually jumped out by then. Except the last one.
Presenter: And how long did that last?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Jarman: Four hours and twenty-five minutes, exactly, from beginning to end.
Presenter: Four hours and twenty-five minutes?
Mrs. Jarman: Yes. You see, I'd got on the motorway and as I told you I can't turn right or left
so we didn't stop until I hit a post box just outside London.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: And was the examiner still with you?
Mrs. Jarman: Oh, yes, he'd fainted much earlier on.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: Well, there we are. That's the end of "Interesting Personalities" for this week.
Thank you Mrs. Jarman for coming along and telling us about your experiences with cars.
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Jarman: Can I just say a word?
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter: Er ... yes. Go ahead.
Mrs. Jarman: I'd just like to say if there are any driving instructors in the Bristol area listening in,
学习啦在线学习网 well, I'd like to say thank you very much and my offer to pay double still hods good if any of them will come back.Thank you.
学习啦在线学习网 Presenter:Thank you,Mrs.Jarman,and good night.
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs.Jarman:I won't give up.
Section Three:
A. A Little Crime:
学习啦在线学习网 A psychiatrist who has studied the legend of Bonnie and Clyde compares the characters of the two.
Interviewer: So in your book why do you focus more on Bonnie than you have on Clyde?
Shivel: Bonnie had something which Clyde completely lacked.
Style. And she was also far more intelligent than he was.
Without her, there never would have a legend.
He was just a rather stupid hoodlum who got into difficult situations almost by accident and then started shooting wildly.
学习啦在线学习网 She was a much warmer,more generous person.
Interviewer: But she could be very ruthless, couldn't she?I mean what about that policeman she shot in Grapevine,Texas?
Didn't she laugh about it?
学习啦在线学习网 Shivel: Well, first of all, we don't know if that's what actually happened.
学习啦在线学习网 A farmer says he saw her shoot the second policeman and then laugh. That's the only evidence we have that.
学习啦在线学习网 She actually did that. But even if the story is true,
the whole incident illustrates this warmer, almost motherly, side to her character.
Interviewer: Motherly? How does the incident of shooting a policeman illustrate that she was motherly?
Shivel: Well ... uh ,.. just let me finish.
学习啦在线学习网 You see, the day before the shooting, Bonnie and Clyde were driving about with a pet rabbit in; the car.
Bonnie's petrabbit. Clyde started complaining because the rabbit stank.
学习啦在线学习网 So they stopped and washed the rabbit in a stream. The rabbit almost died because of the shock of the very cold water.
Bonnie got very worried, and wrapped the rabbit in a blanket and held it.Close to her as they drove on.
Then,the next morning, when the rabbit still wasn't any better, she made Clyde stop and build a fire.
She was sitting in front of that to get the rabbit warm when the two policemen fire, trying drove up and got out.
Probably the policemen had no idea who was there.
学习啦在线学习网 They just wanted to see who was burning a fire and A moment later, as we know, they were both dead.
All bewhy.cause of that pet rabbit which Bonnie wanted to mother.
And uh ... perhaps ... in a strange way, Clyde was something like a pet rabbit, too.
She was attracted to him because he was weaker than she was and needed someone to mother him,
学习啦在线学习网 It's strange,you know, but strong, intelligent women are often attracted to such men ,..
weaker than they are ... men who are like children, or pet rabbits.
B. Psychiatrist:
学习啦在线学习网 Psychiatrist: Goodbye Mr. er ... um ... er ... Just keep taking those tablets and you'll be all right in no time.

学习啦在线学习网 But not a word to my husband, mind, he thinks it was 1956.
学习啦在线学习网 Psychiatrist: 1946. Right. Now, what seems to be the trouble?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Parkinson: (Crunch) Well, it's nothing very much, doctor.It's just that (crunch) I can't stop (crunch)eating these crisps (crunch).
学习啦在线学习网 Psychiatrist: Yes, I had noticed that you seemed to be getting through rather a lot of them.
学习啦在线学习网 Er..do you mind picking up those two empty bags off the floor, please?
学习啦在线学习网 Thank you. Now, when did this problem start?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Parkinson: (Crunch) About six. months ago. My husband and I won a huge box of crisps in a talent competition.
学习啦在线学习网 And we've not been able (crunch) to stop eating them over since. It's costing us a fortune. (Crunch)
学习啦在线学习网 Psychiatrist: I see. Now, what do you think about when you've eating these crisps?

学习啦在线学习网 Psychiatrist: I see. But don't they remind you of anything else?
Mrs. Parkinson: (Crunch) Cheese. Cheese crisps. Cheddar crisps.Roquefort crisps. Edam crisps.
Oh, I'd definitely say they remind me of cheese.
学习啦在线学习网 Psychiatrist: Yes, they certainly seem to do that.
Does anything else come to mind when you're eating these vast amounts of crisps?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Parkinson: Not much, apart from crisps, doctor.
(Crunch) If I'm really on form I can work up an appetite for, oh, paprika crisps, or shrimp crisps or even ham and bacon crisps.
Psychiatrist: And have you made any effort to stop eating these crisps?
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Parkinson: Oh, no. I wouldn't want to (crunch) eat anything else. I like my crisps.
Psychiatrist: But if you don't want to stop eating them, why come to a psychiatrist?
Mrs. Parkinson: (Crunch) Well, it's the noise, doctor. (Crunch)My husband complains he cantt hear the telly.
And the neighbors bang on the walls late at night. (Crunch) Say they can't sleep.
I've offered them a whole box so that ... so that they can do the same, but (crunch) they say they'd rather sleep.
Psychiatrist: I should have thought earplugs would have been a more sensible thing to offer them.
Mrs. Parkinson: Earplugs! That's it! The problem's solved.(Crunch) Thank you. Thank you very much, doctor.
Psychiatrist: Er ... Mrs ... um ...
学习啦在线学习网 Mrs. Parkinson: Parkinson.
学习啦在线学习网 Psychiatrist: Parkinson, yes. Er... could I have a crisp?
