Conversation One
W: Do you travel a lot around the world?
M: Quite a lot. Yes. I’ve been to many places in the world。
W: Oh, that must be quite an experience。
M: Well, in some places I feel, I suppose, somewhat uneasy, but I haven’t lately。
W: You’ve just returned from Africa?
M: Yes, I was in Africa recently。
W: Which countries did you visit?
M: I was in Zimbabwe and Zambia and South Africa。
W: There are quite a few people who are crazy about Africa。
M: I know, but I don’t feel that way at all. But I was very happy there。
W: But some of the places in Africa, they must be --- they must be very different。
M: I know what’s on your mind. Right. Some Africa cities can be a little horrible. There are places that I avoid. I don’t like cities generally not because I feel threatened but because I feel confined。
W: You mean you find cities unsatisfying?
M: I like being at a street level and looking out to watch the sun set. The idea of a sun setting behind a lot of buildings is what I find unsatisfying. Why should it set just behind a lot of concrete? There is still some sunshine there. I think that’s why I avoid cities.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard。
19. Why does the man feel uneasy while he is traveling?
20. Which of the countries didn’t he visit on his last trip to Africa?
21. What did he feel when he was in Africa?
22. Why did he find cities unsatisfying?
Conversation Two
W: Are there people you feel that you just “can’t reason with”?
M: Sure. But fortunately they are few and far in between。
W: What are some of the basic techniques of communicating effectively with people that you need to work with but don’t particularly like?
M: That’s a good question. One of my favorite examples is a guy I used to work with who had a strong opinion about everything. And he stated it very forcefully。
W: You obviously didn’t like it。
M: No, and it was very different from mine, but I learned to get along with him because I realized that he was fundamentally very insecure。
W: So what did you do to change the situation?
M: I tried to get along with him, telling him stories about myself that showed my own mistakes. That helped him to get past his insecurity and involve me in more honest and open communication。
W: What kind of people do you have difficulty working with?
M: I’m naturally a person who likes to get things done. So I get impatient sometimes when I’m working with a large group. It takes time for everyone’s voice to be heard and for everyone’s opinion to be tried. Yet I know that process is vital if they are going to make the ultimate decision。
