听力原文:M: It all seems like yesterday, doesn't it, darling?
W: Ah. Yes, it does. How time flies! (19) And it's twenty years ago.
M: Twenty years since I first brought you here. Do you remember? This same table in the comer near the bank.
W: Not the first time, Stan. (20)The first time we came here we sat over in the comer by the window.
M: I remember now. Of course, we were over there by the window. I remember that night.
W: Oh, Stan, you're thinking of other times after we got married. That first night Marrio was away with the Flu, don't you remember, and we got the young waiter, Trevor.
M: Oh, yes. Trevor was the one with glasses and black teeth. And he had a stutter, didn't he? You were doing your best not to laugh.
W: What a memory! No, Stan, Trevor was the dark-haired, tall boy with the very deep voice, the one you said would make a good singer.
M: Did I? Strange, how I've forgotten that. There you were, across the table, in that lovely, long dark red dress of yours, with that golden handbag.
W: Oh, Stan, you are impossible! I've never had a dark red dress, not a long one anyway, or a golden handbag. (21) That night I had a green dress on and my handbag was brown.
M: Oh yes, yes, yes. But there's one detail that I do remember clearly. You had a golden belt on.
W: No, Stan. The belt I wore that night was brown like the handbag.
M: Oh, dear, I'm not doing very well, am I? I know why I'm not, though. I was so... so excited that I probably didn't notice your clothes.

听力原文:Woman: I get lots of ideas for novels, but I don't necessarily follow them all up. Only when they stick around over a period of years do I realise that a particular idea has really got a hold on me. That's certainly what happened with my latest novel, 'The Red Cord'. Although it's set in my home city of Sydney, Australia, the stirrings of an idea came about ten years ago when I was travelling in China. This was followed by a long period when the idea occasionally came back into my consciousness, each time refined a little more, until I reached a point where I thought I'd better start writing.
You hear a novelist talking about how she writes. How does she get her ideas for her novels?
A.She bases her novels on personal experiences.
B.Ideas come to her once she starts writing.
C.She lets ideas develop gradually in her mind.
