全新版大学英语听说教程第三册听力原文

Linda: Yeah, like last time Tom broke the rule of driving.

John: What's the rule?

Linda: The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes.

John: What happened?

Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, but I thought I could figure it out.

Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding.

Tom: So I took her out to dinner. I knew what I should do to apologize.

John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore?

Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes.

John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time.

Tom & Linda: Thank you.

Statements:

1. Tom and Linda never argue because they both know what the other person expects.

2. Once Tom broke Article 14 and apologized to Linda by taking her out to dinner.

3. If some of the rules in the marriage agreement become outdated, changes will be made to update them.

4. It seems that both Tom and Linda are satisfied with their marriage agreement.
