听力原文:W: This food is terrible. I can't even finish my dinner.
M: I know. You think with all the money we pay for room and board, the university could hire a better food service. Where are you headed next?
W: I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.
M: You are spending your time on a card game?
W: Not just any card game. It's one of the most strategic there is.
M: So I've heard. Don't you play with a partner?
W: Yeah. Four people play, two against the other two.
M: So you try to play in cooperation with your partner.
W: Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face up. That player is called the dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy what do you do while the cards are being played?
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone. I like to stand behind my partner and watch.
M: You know. I've heard that bridge is habit funning. You should be careful not to play so much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play Thursdays after dinner, and sometimes when they need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
M: Thanks. But I have a pretty heavy workload this semester. I have to spend my evenings studying. I don't really know how to do it yet.

What if you say it first and your partner doesn' t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn't it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?
"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal." All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of 'I' ve always loved you more' may be subverted(颠覆,破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵)." In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says 'I love you' first may also be the one who says 'I' m bored with you' first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it. "Is it said when they' re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is 'Please don't be unfaithful to me' ? By saying 'I love you', they really saying 'Do you love me?' If so, wouldn' t it just be more honest to say that?" Collins agrees that intention is everything. "It' s not what is said, but how it' s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.
What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The importance of "I love you".
B.The meaning of "I love you".

Part B
Directions :
Read the opinions given, by five scholars on challenges facing today's single women,. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar to one of the statements(A to G)given below. Mark your answers on, ANS WER SHEET 1.
Timothy Constance:
What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedi-cated to
his career, but that he doesn't have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best
friend-a soul mate-someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it
doesn' t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high -achieving men.
Grise Levison:
I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life
with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long
and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matchingyou and who is able to
communicate and listen to trouble talk.
Marry Brown:
In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the
past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual
achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. How ever, most of
the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart
women. The problem was finding them.
Donna Smith:
I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and
children, but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up
some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of suc-cess includes both
love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular or-der.
Elizabeth Budy:
I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judg-ment
about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It' s also true that they're likely
to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those
marriages are likely to have more money in them.
Now match the name of each scholar (6/ t0 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
[ A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.
[ B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage.
[ C] How to balance career with family is key to success.
[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.
[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn' t a piece of cake.
[ F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.
[ G] Social assistance is needed for today' s single women.
