听力原文:W: So, what do you think of this place?
M: Well, I like the location, but it seems a bit darker than the other flat, don't you think?
W: Yes, you might be right, but that's because the wails are painted a darker colour, right?
M: You have a point there. If we can paint them a brighter colour... The rooms are not quite as spacious.
W: That's true, but there is an extra room. We could use that for storing items that we don't often use and our bicycles.
M: Good idea. There aren't so many stairs to climb either. As usual the key thing is money. This place is a little more expensive than the other one. Can we stretch our budget this far?
W: I think we can. Actually, I'm thinking less about the rent and more about the time we'll save getting to and from university.
M: Yes. We've both got part-time jobs, so we won't have any financial difficulties. We'll just save a little less, that's all.
W: What do you think of the landlady? She seems OK to me.
M: Yeah, she seems fine. Let's ask her about the painting. We can offer to do it ourselves and pay for the paint. I don't see how she could object to that.
W: Are you any good at painting?
M: My middle name is Picasso!

I was on my way back to my office in the center of town. There is a small park nearby which I sometimes walk through after lunch. It is empty, except for an unshaven, shabby-looking man on one of the benches. He looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old, gray overcoat. It was a cold, wintry day, and he was shivering.
"It's been a long time since I had a meal. Can you help me?" he said. There was something about his voice that sounded familiar. I gave him a few coins and he mumbled something about being grateful. As he stumbled past me, I looked at his face closely, I wondered where I had seen him before. Then it hit me. Could it possibly be…? No! Impossible, I thought. I watched him walking away. He was the same height as Rogers but looked a lot thinner than I remembered. Then, as he left {he park and turned down the street, I caught sight of his face again, this time in profile. The nose was the same as Rogers', too. I almost followed him but something made me stop. I just couldn't be sure. But the resemblance was very close.
Yesterday I rain into someone who had worked for Rogers at the same time I did, and had stayed on longer. I started telling him about the man I had seen in the park. For a moment I thought it was our old boss. The voice, the nose, and even the face were just like Rogers, but it couldn't have been, "Rogers must be the director of a big company by now" I said.
My ex-colleague shook his head. "I thought you knew."
"Knew? Knew what? What are you talking about?"
"Rogers was sent to prison six years ago. He's probably out by now. For all I know he's sleeping on park benches and begging money from passers-by."
It seems that when Rogers was the writer's boss, the writer ______.
A.rather liked Rogers
B.admired Rogers' ability to sell
C.thought Rogers was lazy
D.was not very happy in his job
