研究生英語聽說教程(引進版)聽力原文Take on Listening:Listening and Speaking StrategiesLesson 3Part Two Main DialogueExercise 1 Scanning for the Main IdeaRuth: Good morning, David, Wow, what happened to you?David: Hey, Ruth. Boy, do I need coffee. I was up till 2:30 last night for the second night in a row.Ruth: More trouble with the lovebirds?David: Yeah, good ole Michael and Betty were at it again all night.Ruth: Were they breaking dishes again?David: No, I dont think they have any dishes left after the last fight. They were yelling about his old girlfriend.Ruth: Havent you spoken to them/ I mean, dont they know theyre keeping you up all night?David: I think when theyre fighting, they dont care about anything else. I banged on the ceiling with a broom for about five minutes and they kept yelling.Ruth: They sound like very selfish people.David: Youve got that right, Ruth.Ruth: Why dont you just call the landlord?David: He doesnt care if Im unhappy. He wants me to move! Ive lived in the building the longest, and with rent control, I pay half as much as they do. If I move, he can jack up the price.Ruth: What about the other neighbors? Cant you all get together and complain?David: Are you kidding? I have had problems with everybody in that building! Rob and Steve, the people who live next door to Michael and Betty, crank-up the volume of their stereo at all hours of the night.Ruth: Thats terrible.David: yeah, those two guys are so busy throwing parties that they probably never even hear the fighting.Ruth: Well, there has to be someone in your building who you like.David: There is Mrs. Anderson, the woman who lives below me. Shes 87 years old, as sweet as can be with a heart of gold. Unfortunately, shes a little deaf and Im sure she never hears any of the noise in the building. Actually, as much as I like her, shes also a problem.Ruth: How so?David: Her niece phones from out of state every Sunday morning at 6:30 to check on her. The trouble is because shes deaf, she screams into the phone, and it wakes me up.Ruth: Every Sunday?David: Yes, and the sound of her voice goes right up through the floor “Hello? Yes, dear. Its so good to hear your voice.” Shes more reliable than an alarm clock!Ruth: Wow, that sounds like a real nightmare!David: Its not her fault, poor old thing. Shes just very old and her health isnt good.Ruth: Im pretty lucky. The biggest problem I have is the garbage collectors waking me up at 5:30 in the morning three times a week when they empty the cans. But, I can usually fall asleep again after they leave.David: At least your neighbors put their garbage into the cans! Art, the guy who lives next door to Mrs. Anderson, is sometimes such a pig. He ever seems to throw away his garbage. Whenever I walk by his door I have to hold my nose.Ruth: Maybe you just need to start looking for a new place to live.David: And give up my book?Ruth: Book? What book?David: I told you about my book, didnt I? Im writing a book about a guy who lives in an apartment building with a bunch of crazy people. I hope itll be a big Hollywood movie someday.Ruth: That sounds fantastic, but cant you write the book in a nice quiet apartment in another building?David: No way! Every week I get a new idea for a chapter from somebody in the building. If I move now, Ill never be able to finish the book!Exercise 4 Vocabulary in ContextNarrator: 1.

Look at this floorits totally scratched. It needs to be refinished or carpeted.Wife: Yeah, and while were at it, we might as well paint the wall around the fireplace. There are smoke stains all over it from last years Christmas party.Husband: Now youre talking! Why dont we wallpaper the other three walls in here too? Then if we get some new drapes and maybe a couple of lampsWife: Wait a second. This is getting out of hand. Why dont we just move the armchair over to cover the scratched floor and save ourselves a lot of money and trouble.2.Painter: Good morning. Im from Daniels Paint-O-Rama.Woman: Oh, good. Com on in. Would you like some coffee?Painter: Maybe later. Now, have you decided on the color?Woman: I was thinking white might be nice.Painter: I wouldnt have white in this room. It would get dirty pretty quickly.Woman: Couldnt we use enamel paint? Its easy to clean, right?Painter: But it smells horrible and takes a long time to dry. You wont be able to use this room until tomorrow.Woman: Oh, my. Well, I guess we could go to a restaurantPainter: Why dont you choose a color that goes with your linoleum? I could nix up a shade of latex semi-gloss that matches this blue.Woman: What about the latex semi-gloss in white? Couldnt I wash that down if it got dirty?Painter: Yes, you could, but youll still have to do it more often than if you choose another color. And if you clean it too often, the finish will start to rub off.Woman: Maybe wed better stick with the enamel then.3.Tenant: Look at the ceiling; its cracked and peeling over here; theres a big water stain on the wall in the corner, andLandlord: Okay, why dont you get some paint and fix it up and Ill pay for it.Tenant: I dont think thats going to fix the problem.

I said Id pay to fix it.Tenant; I want you to find out whats causing this!Landlord: Well, Ill talk to Steven upstairs and warn him to be more careful in the future.Tenant: I dont think Steven is the problem. The last time this happened he wasnt even home. Besides, hes always been a considerate neighbor.Landlord: Maybe you steam up the room yourself. That can cause a lot of chipping and peeling. A small room like this full of steam can do a lot of damage.Tenant: Look, dont try to turn this around on me. I always leave the window and door open so it doesnt s
