Text 8

M:So, Claire, are you into drama?

W:Yes, I’ve got a master’s degree in drama. At the moment, I am hoping to get into a PhD program.

M:What excites you about drama?

W:I find it’s a great way to study people. You learn how to read people through drama. So usually, I can understand what people are saying, even though they might be lying.

M:That’s very useful.

W:Yeah, it is. I mainly work as an English teacher, so I use a lot of drama in my classes, such as role-playing. And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well to this type of instruction.

听第9段材料,回答第13至16题。

Text 9

M:Hey, what are you doing here?

W:Oh, there’s a book I want to buy, so I came to this shop. My office is right around the corner from here, so I came here during my lunch hour. What about you?

M:I have the day off, so I came here to buy a new book edition of some Spider-Man stories that were published in the 1980s.

W:Really? I didn’t know you liked those kinds of books. I thought they were for kids.

M:Most of them are. But in 1986, a really famous artist made a Spider-Man book that is for adults. It is very well written and it really impresses me.

W:What is so good about the Spider-Man story?

M:Well, it’s about Spider-Man, but it’s also about society at the time. Things are never as simple as they seem.

W:Sounds interesting. What other stories like that do you like?

M:I also like Watchmen by Alan Moore, and The X-Men by Chris Claremont. They also deal with adult themes.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

Text 10

W:My friend Leo makes up weak excuses whenever there is something he doesn’t want to do. Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn’t want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied but his excuse wasn’t a convincing (有说服力的) one. Another time, he canceled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck. She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet. He’d promised he’d help me move some furniture from my parents’ house to my new apartment. He was supposed to bring his truck over at about 8 o’clock on Saturday morning. I waited, and then called and left a message on his machine. At about 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he’d been getting a new set of tires put on his truck. I guess he’d forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a new set of friends. I’m beginning to get tired of Leo’s excuses.
