M: Yes, there really is. She was somebody I went out with for two years actually.
W: What happened later?
M: Her dad just didn't want it to happen. It was so bad that she just couldn't take the pressure.
W: You must have felt bitter about the whole split up and everything?
M: It's really tough, she wants to do something with her life and her dad's threatening to cut off her college tuition if she continues to see me, so it's like she had a serious decision to make.
W: Were you bitter about her?
M: lake I said, at first, I was somewhat bitter but I understand, I guess. I don't know. I know I probably wouldn't have done the same thing. Who knows, people are different, so I couldn't really hold that against her.
W: What has she said to you since she heard it on the radio?
M: Oh. I haven't heard from her.
W: You haven't?
M: I dropped some notes for her to call me some time and she hasn't. I guess at this point, I don't expect her to. That's my call out to her, because I have no idea about that.

听力原文: Although we are told when young that honesty is the best policy, we are often taught the opposite by experience and observation. A child quickly learns that she cannot always tell the truth. For instance, the little girl who tells her great aunt that she's fat and ugly learns that honesty can have some unfortunate results. Similarly the five-year-old who admits to pinching the baby soon has ample evidence that dishonesty might be the real virtue. In addition to her own experience, the child also observes that adults don't practice what they preach about honesty. Any alert child knows by the age of eight that adults really employ the little white lie to serve their own purposes. For instance, a child may hear a parent explain on the phone that his family have a lot of company when the child knows that no one is there but family members. Another child may hear her mother insist that she's terribly glad to see an old friend who has dropped by and then, two hours later, hear her mother complain about her day being interrupted by the visit. As a result, the child learns from watching that dishonesty is the practice even when honesty is the stated policy.

A.Practice requires him to be honest.
B.Dishonesty is not a virtue.

1 After graduating from high school in Michigan, Madonna received a dance scholarship to the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance. After convincing her father to allow her to take ballet lessons, she was persuaded by her ballet teacher to pursue a career in dance, dropped out of college in 1978, and relocated to New York City. (1) She worked as a Dunkin’ Donuts waitress and danced with modern dance troupes, continuing to perfect her craft while trying to make ends meet. “It was the first time I’d ever taken a plane, the first time I’d ever gotten a taxi cab,” she once said of her move to New York. “I came here with $35 in my pocket. It was the bravest thing I’d ever done.” 2 After collaborating with bands---The Breakfast Club and Emmy, she eventually decided to market herself as a solo act and recorded demos to send to record labels in New York City. Madonna was famously rejected by Millennium Records President Jeremy Ienner, known for productions of such hits as “Dirty Dancing” and “Sister Act.” He stated that while he enjoyed some of her music, she was “not ready yet” and he would “pass for now.” This rejection motivated Madonna to continue making music with club DJ Mark Kamins, who at the time was working with Seymour Stein of Sire Records. Kamins gave Stein a demo of Madonna’s work while Stein was in the hospital, and he insisted Madonna come to the hospital immediately so he could sign her to his label. 3 In an interview, Stein remembered what it was like to meet Madonna: “I always believed in her, because not only did she have talent, but she had a burning desire, drive, ambition, and a work ethic that is incredible. So, she had everything and I saw that in my hospital room.” Madonna has tried very hard to achieve success. Which of the following is NOT an example given by the passage to show how hard she has worked?
A、Received a dance scholarship to the University of Michigan School of Music.
B、Relocated to New York City.
C、Worked as a Dunkin’ Donuts waitress and danced with modern dance troupes.
D、Continue making music with club DJ Mark Kamins.

W: Well, I guess a long time ago, people thought it took seven years for the body to repair itself, so I guess it would take seven years to fix a broken body.
