听力原文:W: Did you have a good time last weekend?
M: Yes, I did. I visited some friends in Pennsylvania. They live in a small town called Canonsburg.
W: That must have been interesting. I've never been in a small town——just big cities.
M: Neither had I.
W: What did you do?
M: There isn't as much to do as there is here. No plays or concerts, that is, people make their own entertainment, though.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, Saturday we went to a potluck supper.
W: A potluck supper? What's that?
M: The whole neighborhood has a party. Everybody brings something. It's all put on the table and you can eat whatever you like. That is a potluck supper.
W: It's something like a picnic, isn't it?
M: Well, yes. The weather was warm, so we had this one outdoors. But in winter they have them indoors too.
W: What else did you do?
M: Sunday we went for a drive. We had lunch at a drive-in.
W: Is the countryside interesting?
M: Beautiful farmland. You'd like it.
W: I'm sure I would.
M: Sunday evening some people came to dinner. It was very informal we just sat around and talked. Just a nice Sunday night supper.
W: That's the kind of evening I like. I don't care for a formal dinner so much.
M: Neither do I.

Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives by himself. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Dodds does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from his office at the usual time, driving neither too slow nor too fast; he parked his car where he always perked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door step.
"What have I done wrong?" Mr. Dodds asked himself. "Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the office? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"
"Hello, Uncle." said the policeman. "My name's Mark."
