Questions 11～13:
M: Something very unusual happened to me this morning.
W: Really？ What was it？
M: I was studying in the classroom when Tom came rushing in.
W: Yes？
M: He told me there was a telegram for me at the gate house! Someone was ill in my family.
W: Goodness me! I hate telegrams. They seldom bring any good news.
M: Yes, that's just how I felt. My legs turned to water, so I asked Tom to accompany me to the school gate.
W: I can imagine how you felt.
M: So when I tore the telegram open, my fingers were trembling.
W: Dear me!
M: But when I read the telegram, I just couldn't make heads or tails out of it.
W: How strange! What did it say？
M: It said: Return immediately. Uncle seriously ill.
W: Oh, I am sorry to hear that.
M: But the surprising part about it is that I have no uncle.
W: Indeed !
M: I could hardly believe my own eyes. But it was written there in black and white. Then I happened to glance at the address to a "Carl", not "Carol".
W: Well, I never!
M: You can never imagine how relieved I was.
W: Yes. What a relief! But what did Tom have to say？
M: Tom was so embarrassed. He kept apologizing all the way back.
W: He has always been quite careless.
Questions 14～17:
W: Good morning, Professor James. I've come here to look for a parttime job this term. I wonder whether you have any positions open.
M: Yes, as a matter of fact, I need a teaching assistant. What's your major？
W: American literature.
M: Very good. Have you had any experience in teaching？
W: Yes, I had been a teacher of English for five years before I came here.
M: Perfect. Now can you help me correct the written work of my undergraduates？ W : I'd be happy to try. It would be very challenging, of course.
M: I should think so, but it's good for you.
W: Yes. Could you give me some idea about the load？
M: Yes. Altogether 50 students and I'll give them written assignments once every other week. The schedule is up to you as long as you finish the correction before the new written work is assigned.
W: I think I can manage. How much is the pay, if I may ask？
M: $ 1,250 a month.
W: All right. Thanks a lot.
M: Sure thing. I look forward to working with you.
Questions 18～21:
M: Hi, Helen, what do you think of our class in Children's Literature？
W: It looks pretty good. Are you also majoring in Elementary Education？
M: Yes. I can use this to fulfill the requirement for my course.
W: Have you finished the first assignment yet？
M: Not yet. I just bought the books today. How about you？
W: I started this afternoon. It's great fun reading those wonderful children stories by Doctor Seuss. c Doctor Seuss？ I don't remember seeing his name on the reading list.
W: His full name's Theodore Seuss Geisel. You can find this name on the reading list. Doctor Seuss is his pen name.
M: I love reading those stories as a child. It'll be interesting to read them now from a different point of view. I guess they'll give me a good idea of how children think.
W: Those stories are also great for classroom use.
M: How's that？
W: Well, take a typical Doctor Seuss's book like The Cat in the Hat. It has a controlled vocabulary of only two hundred words.
M: So that means the children get lots of practices using a small number of words over and over again.
W: Exactly. In fact The Cat in the Hat was written mainly to show how a controlled-vocabulary book could also be interesting and fun.
M: Well, it sounds as though this course is also going to be interesting and fun. I think I'll get started on those readings tonight.
Questions 22～25:
Now, I'd like to talk about psychological space.
Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural preference, not an economic one. Knowing our own psychological space needs is important because they strongly influence your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will provide separate bedrooms for them. In America they train people to have their own private rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many cultures the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in a small bed near his parents' bed.
The area in the home also reveals a lot about psychological space needs. Although it is true that psychological space needs are not determined by economic factors, they sometimes have to be limited a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
Questions 11～13 are based on the following dialogue between two friends talking about a telegram.
What does the telegram say？
[A] Return immediately for his parents missed him badly.
[B] Return immediately for his aunt is expecting him.
[C] Return immediately for something unusual happened at home.
