听力原文:M: Come in!
W: Er, excuse me, professor Serafin, are you busy?
M: No, Miss Van Pelt, I've always got time for you. There're several things I want to talk to you about.
W: Oh, really?
M: Yes, er, it's about your class attendance for one thing, you now. You have been missing several classes.
W: Oh, well, that's kind of related to what I was going to ask you about, too.
M: Oh, what's your excuse now? This is the second time you've been around.
W: Well, it's not an excuse. But, er, a kind of get lost in the discussions in class.
M: That seems to be the idea. You're always lost out there in space somewhere. You've got problems on your mind?
W: No. It's just the way of the discussion. There are a couple of students in the class who dominate the conversation and they won't let any other ideas come in. And the topics I think are very difficult and most of the students don't understand.
M: Well, why do you have two hands?
W: Well, if I say something, especially this Janet woman, she usually interrupts me about half way through and finishes my sentence or tells me I am wrong.
M: All right. Maybe that's the way we should have our conversation and discussions, you know. If she dominates, then of course, you've got to assert yourself.
W: Well, maybe I can learn to assert myself. But there are a few students in the class who must be very bright, who will never speak up in that kind of atmosphere.
M: I see. And what is your suggestion for me then?
W: Well, I know that you can't tell her not to talk. But maybe, you could tell her the rest of us don't know as much as she does and we need to have some practice in discussion.
M: I see. I agree with you there. Domination of the conversations in the classes is not one person's privilege. But on the other hand, it's quite necessary for you to be able to take the lead sometimes, you know.
W: Well, I'll try to speak more and I hope that other students will also say something.
M: That's the point. Everyone should grasp the chance to make himself understood.
W: I see.

听力原文: Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers, in the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.
For most of the time this conversation goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a process conversation as opposed to a content conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. It is precisely the process conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.
