1、.1/26 Unit One Personal Relationships Part One Viewing,Understanding,and Speaking Video Script Julia:Oh,my God!Hi,guys.How are you?Sorry to keep you waiting for long.Hows life?Youre OK?Here we go.Mike:I really do.It seems to work that way.Julia:Thanks.Mike:So how are you?Julia:Im fine.How are you?Mi
2、ke:Good.Good.Julia:So what were you guys talking about?Carlos:We were just talking about the ideal roommate.Julia:Oh.Jane:Julia,you have three roommates.Julia:Oh,yeah.Jane:What do you think makes an ideal roommate?Julia:Hmm.Well,I want my roommate to be a neat person,as I want everything to be in or
3、der.I dont like to see our rooms in a mess.Mike:You want a neat person.Id like my roommate to be very thoughtful.This is important because people who live together need to help each other.For example,if I were sick and it was my turn to clean the living room,my roommate would do it for me.And I woul
4、d not hesitate to ask him to do a favor for me.In fact,Im lucky.Ive a roommate like that right now.Carlos:So you mean you like a helpful roommate,and he can always give you a hand when you are in trouble.If you ask me,I would like someone who is interesting.Jane:You mean who shares your interests?Ca
5、rlos:Not only that.I mean he is really intelligent and interested in learning new things.He has different experiences from me and can share ideas with me.This roommate and I,we would immediately tell each other everything,and in this way become closer.Its a natural closeness,not something we have to
6、 work on.So just give me somebody really intelligent,and we can work together.Julia:So you are actually looking for a friend,not a roommate.A roommate doesnt have to be your best friend.If you have such high expectations of him,you might be disappointed.A roommate is different from a friend.If you w
7、ant to look for a friend,he doesnt have to be your roommate.Jane:So far,no one has mentioned honesty and I think that honesty is really important.Do you all agree with me on this?Julia:Oh,yeah.Mike:Yes,I agree with you.You have to live with your roommate for a long time.If you dont trust him,how cou
8、ld you be happy?But if my roommate is honest,then I would want him for my friend.Now,personally,I am unwilling to live with a quiet person.I mean a person who is silent and has nothing interesting to share with me.Such a person would make me feel unhappy.Julia:Then how about a good sense of humor?Do
9、 you think it is important?Carlos:Yes,I think its important.Wouldnt it be wonderful to live with someone who sees the humor in everything?Youd have so much fun together,and youd never be bored.Mike:I agree with you,but its impossible for a roommate to be perfect.I would hate for my roommate to want
10、me to be perfect.Wont you?We should never demand too much of our roommates.Or well ruin our relationship,and we need to remember that.Julia:OK,lets be realistic and try to appreciate what we have now.Part Two Listening,Understanding,and Speaking Listening I M=man W=woman M:Hello,776-2235.W:Oh,good e

14、.The little boy looked up at her and asked,Are you God,maam?She smiled down at him and replied,No,son,Im just one of his children.The little boy then said,I knew you had to be a relative of God.Listening III Are you going to 181st Street?asked an old woman.The younger woman leaving the supermarket w
15、as in a hurry,but she stopped and turned to look.She saw an old lady.2/26 with a small bag of groceries at her feet.She was breathing hard.If youre going toward 181st Street,could you carry my bag for me?I dont have the time for this,the younger woman thought.But when she saw the old woman,who looke
16、d very tired,she said,Of course.The old woman took hold of the younger womans arm and they walked together slowly and talked.They were neighbors but they didnt know each other.The old woman lived alone and the younger woman lived with her family.They talked about the difficulty of living in a big ci
17、ty:the younger woman talked about the cost of food and the problems of raising children,the older about loneliness.They finally reached the old womans apartment house.She seemed reluctant to go in.She reached into her purse.Let me give you a dollar for your trouble,she said.Oh,no.It was no trouble.W
18、ell,were neighbors,the old woman said.Well see each other again.I hope so.The old woman took her bag and started to go in.Then she turned and said sadly,But then,perhaps well never see each other again.Unit One Personal Relationships Part Three More Listening Practice One Jane:Laurie,it seems incred
19、ible that youve been with Pete for five years.Laurie:Can you believe it?Jane:Yes,its hard to believe.Well,I remember you used to say that you would do anything for him,absolutely anything,now do you still think so?Laurie:I remember.People always say things like that when they fall in love,Jane.Jane:
20、Exactly,but Im asking you now,after five years,would you do anything for him?Laurie:No,not anything.Obviously,there are things I wouldnt do,just the other night,I said forget it.But what do you have in mind?Give me an example.Jane:OK,right,now lets think.Now,if um.OK,say he was wanted by the police,
21、would you lie to protect him?Laurie:Ooh,itd depend on the crime I think.If it was a traffic ticket,probably.But no,ooh.Yes,I probably would actually even if it was a serious oneisnt that terrible?I just realized that about myself.Yes,I probably would,unless,of course,he did something to me.Practice
22、Two Jane:Right.OK,well leave that one,Laurie.What about your career?Would you give up your career?If Pete wanted you to give up your job,would you do that?Laurie:No,Jane,why could he possibly want me to give it up?Jane:Well,I dont know,say if he was feeling threatened by your success or something li
23、ke that.Laurie:No,absolutely not.Jane:But he might be,what if he really wanted you to give up your career?Would you?Laurie:Of course not.Not for that reason,no.Because that would break us upeventually because of the resentment.I wouldnt ask him to give up his career,unless he changed careers and I d
24、ont know,say if he became a hit man or something.Jane:What about if he,say if he found a new religion or something,that he was completely obsessed with it and he wanted you to convert to that religion,would you do that for him?Laurie:Hes a good Catholic boy,so I somehow cant see that happening.You m
25、ean like some cult or something?That I think would be the beginning of the end.If someones so obsessive about religion,I think,then theres only room for that.Jane:But if you loved him?And that was part of him.Laurie:Id let him go to his God.Practice Three Ed:Hey Rocky!Youve been holding this wall up
26、 all night.Get out and dance with someone like that girl over there.Rocky:No way,Ed!Ed:Oh come on man!What kind of woman do you like?Rocky:I want a woman that fulfills my every need,and that girl is not the right type.Ed:Hey.Where have you been?Times are changing,and youre never going to find a woma
27、n that will shine your shoes and fill your beer mug all the time.Wake up!Rocky:Oh really?I met a lot of women like that,just not at this party.Oh,I prefer women that stay home,cook,clean,and watch the kids.Ed:Okay,but where do you fit into this wonder plan?I mean what are your household responsibili
28、ties once you get home from work?Rocky:Hmm.Eat,watch TV,and throw out the trash.Ed:Wait,wait,wait.I cant believe Im hearing this.Youre never going to get married.I recently read a news report that said that 40 percent of women dont think their husbands do their share around the house,and you seem to
29、 fit into that mold.Rocky:Thats interesting,but that doesnt change my point of view.Ed:Thats your problem.Well,I like women who are open-minded and have something interesting to say.Hey,and if I stick with you here,this is going to be a long,lonely night.Practice Four Norma:You know,Brian,it doesnt
30、look like youve vacuumed the living room or cleaned the bathroom.Brian:No,I havent.Ugh.I had the worst day.I am so tired.Look,I promise Ill do it this weekend.Norma:Listen,I know the feeling.Im tired,too.But I came home and I did my share of the housework.I mean,thats the agreement,right?Brian:All r
31、ight.We agreed.Ill do it in a minute.3/26 Norma:Come on.Dont be that way.You know,I shouldnt 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 dont like to have to keep reminding you about it.It makes me feel like
32、 an old nag or something.Brian:Sometimes you are an old nag.Norma:Oh,great!Brian:No,its just that I dont notice when things get dirty like you do.Look,all you have to do is tell me,and Ill do it.Norma:No,I dont want to be put in that position.I mean,you can see dirt as well as I can.OtherwiseI mean,

34、 would you like to marry,Sally?Sally:I suppose Id have to take two things into consideration:his personality and his background.Jane:What would you look for?Sally:Well,hed have to be intelligentI cant stand stupid people.Hed have to be hard-working,reliable,and down to earth.I couldnt get along with
35、 someone who wasnt practical.Jane:I like a man with a good sense of humor.Sally:Oh,I do,too.Hed have to be good-natured.I have a terrible temper myself,and I dont think a marriage can work if both people are the same.Jane:What did you mean when you said that background was important?Sally:As far as
36、Im concerned,people whove been brought up in different environments think differently.They usually just cant understand each other well enough to get married.Jane:Do you think that good looks are important?Sally:In my opinion,that matters the least,though of course I couldnt marry an ugly man.Sectio
37、n II A few months ago,I moved into a very small flat after living for years with my parents.It is the first time I have ever had a place of my own and I am very fond of it,despite the lack of space.I had been there only for a few days when a friend phoned and begged me to let him stay for a while.He
38、 explained he had lost his job recently but was sure he would find another one very soon.Since I thought it would be only for a short time,I agreed.More than a month has gone by and my friend shows no sign of moving out.There are only two small rooms in the flat,plus the small bathroom and tiny kitc
39、hen.He has more or less taken over the front room.I dont like sharing the bathroom,either.In fact,I just dont like other people living in my flat!A few days ago,I decided that it was enough and that he would have to leave.I intended to tell him that I wanted the place to myself again,but he persuade
40、d me to let him stay longer.He still hasnt found a job and cant afford to rent a place of his own.And there just doesnt seem to be anyone else he can stay with.Of course,Id like to help him.He is,after all,a friend!But there are limits,even to friendship.I dont know what Ill do if he is here much lo

42、at?Ralph:Absolutely not.George:You wouldnt?Ralph:Well,Id rather not,no.I know that sounds selfish.Gopal:Thats interesting because in India,a lot of the grandparents live with their children and they play an important role in the home.Theyre not just there.Ralph:.But is that because theyve always bee
43、n in the home,Gopal?Gopal:They have,true.Ralph:Thats the difference.To me it would be very unnatural to suddenly have them back and in my world.George:Would you think of putting them in a retirement home?Ralph:Um,yeah,that would be what Id like to do.George:Is that unthinkable to you,Gopal?Gopal:Wel
44、l,its interesting because my parents are very independent.But I would feel happier if they came to me,then you know because my husband isnt Indian,it would be quite unusual.How about you,George?George:Im just like Ralph.Im a long way from my parents;the idea of them living with me does seem pretty w
45、eird.But the terrible thing about retirement homes is that theyre full of old people and if I were an old person,I would hate to be surrounded just by old people.Ralph:I think the best alternative idea is to have a granny flat,that is,to have a house next door.Gopal:Next door but separate enough to
