Part I Listening

A．The paragraph you will hear is followed by five statements．Read them when you listen to the paragraph and mark TRUEor FALSE nextto each of them．

In recent years there have been many reports of a growing impatience with psychiatry，with its seeming foreverness，its high cost，its debatable results，and its vague，esoteric terms．To many people it is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there．The magazines and mental health associations say psychiatric treatment is a good thing，but what it is or what it accomplishes has not been made clear．

B．You will hear ten short conversations in this part．At the end of each conversation，a third voice will ask a question about what was said．Read the four possible answers and decide which would be the best response to the question you have heard and mark your answer．

1．M：Could you tell me the best way to get to Grove City？

   W：That's easy．Just take Route Eighteen West all the way there．

   Q：What is the best way to get to Grove City？

2．W：Oh，no．It's five o'clock already and I haven't finished typing these letters．

   M：Don't worry．That clock is half an hour fast．You still have time to do them．

   Q：When does this conversation take place？

3．M：It's much better to wait until tomorrow to go．Don't you aGREe？

   W：Yes．I couldn't aGREe more．

   Q：What does the woman think？

4．M：I have to go to class because I have a test，but if I didn't need to，I'd go with you to the movie．

   W：That's too bad．I wish that you could come along．

   Q：Where is the man going？

5．W：Iguess I'llsend Mary a postcard from Hawaii when I go there on my vacation．

   M：I'm sure that she'd be glad to get one．She has a collection of cards from all over the world．

   Q：What do we learn about Mary？

6．M：How do you manage to feed your family when food prices are so high？

   W：We have a garden for fresh vegetables and fruits and we also buy some．

   Q：What does the family do about high food cost？

7．W：Do you mind if I visit your class this evening，Prof．Johnson？

   M：I have no objection to your visit．But the students will take their examination tonight．Perhaps you can come back next Monday．

   Q：What did the professor tell the woman？

8．M：How much is the rent？

   W：It's two hundred dollars amonth unfurnished or two hundred and fifty dollars furnished．Utilities are forty dollars extra．

   Q：How much will it cost the man to rent a furnished apartment，including utilities？

9．W：If I understand you correctly，Mr．Johnson，you were driving well within the speed limit when you were stopped by the police．

   M：That's right，I always keep to the speed limit in Downside Road because there is a school zone on the corner of the first turning and I wouldn't want to run the risk of hitting one of the kids，would I？

   Q：What do we learn from the conversation？

10．W：What's the matter？You are over forty-five minutes late．

   M：I'm sorry．I had an unexpected visitor．

   W：Well，at least you could have called．

   Q：What is the man feeling？

C．Listen to the short passage and fill the blanks with the missing words．

Because the United States is a nation of many minority groups（Africans，Mexicans，Chinese，Italians， Jews，Japanese，Koreans，Arabs，Vietnamese，etc．），it is difficult to make generalizations about American nonverbalcommunication．For example，touching behavior among

Mexican-Americans differs from thatofAnglo-Americans． For the Anglo-Americans，touching is more restricted．The Anglo-American male rarely touches or embraces other males．Distance is usually GREater between men in the Anglo-American culture than between men in the Mexican-American culture．
