Unit 1
Part A
1. W: You seem to take great pride in your daughter. She’s such a successful manager.
M: Yes, she is a wonderful daughter. But I’m proud of her because of her pleasant and attractive personality even more than for her success.
2. M: I ran into David Preston downtown today.
W: Really? Did he say anything about his sister?
M: Yes. She should be leaving Los Angeles very soon, because he husband has taken a job in Alaska.
3. W: Professor Philips seems serious.
M: But he lectures are quite humorous, aren’t they?
Part B Questions are based on the following story 4-6
A gentleman put an advertisement in a newspaper for a boy to work in his office. Out of nearly fifty persons who came to apply, the man selected one and dismissed the others.
“I should like to know,” said a friend, “the reason you preferred that boy, who brought not a single letter, not a single recommendation 1.”
“You are wrong,” said the gentleman. “He had a great many. He had a great many. He wipe his feet at the door and closed the door behind him, showing that he was careful. He gave his seat immediately to and closed to that old man, showing that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions promptly 2, showing that he was polite and gentlemanly.”
Questions 7-10 are based on the following story
The year was 1912. Mrs. Straus and her husband were passengers on the Titanic 3 during its fateful voyage. Not many women went down with the ship. But Mrs. Straus was one of the few women who did not survive for one simple reason: She could not bear to leave he husband.
This is how Mabel Bird, Mrs. Straus’s servant, who survived the disaster, told the story after she was saved.
“When the Titanic began to sink, frightened women and children were the first ones loaded into lifeboats. Mr. and Mrs. Straus were calm and comforting other passengers, and helped many of them into the boats.”
“Then, Mr. Straus begged his wife to get into the lifeboat with her servant and others. Mrs. Straus started to get in. She had one foot on the edge, but then suddenly, she changed her mind, turned away and stepped back onto the sinking ship.
“Please, dear, get into the boat!” her husband urged.
“No,” Mrs. Straus is said to have replied with resistance. “I will not get into the boat. We have been together through a great many years. We are old now. I will not leave you. Where you go, I will go.”
And that is where they were last seen, standing 4 arm in arm on the deck, this devoted 5 wife clinging 6 courageously 7 to her husband, this loving husband clinging protectively to his wife, as the ship sank.
