W: What I don’t understand is why you’re so keen on the Layer-de-la-Haye house, Roger. Why on earth should we actually choose, to live out in a village, even if it is a popular village, or so the house agent’s description says, when we could get a place right in the center of Colchester? Look... we’ve got all these house descriptions. And we’ve got time to go and see all of them. You know that I’d much prefer to be in the town and...
M: ... and be boxed in by a thousand other houses... surrounded by a thousand faceless neighbors? No Julia... let’s go for the village. After all I’m the one who has to do all the traveling. Back and forth to London every day. And I’d rather add a fifteen-minute bus ride to the train ride.
W: That’s all very well... all very well to take that romantic attitude. You know... you think you can get out of everything and wriggle out of any argument. What about my preferences? You are being selfish you know.
M: Selfish? Me?
W: Yes you. Think of the children, Roger. It seems to me that you’re so carried away with the idea of living in the village and far from the crowd. I think your personal likes and dislikes are making you anything but practical. Alex for example... he’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned, the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Yes... here we are... local primary school within walking distance it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.
M: There are such things as school buses you know. And even if there weren’t, Alex is perfectly able... perfectly capable of using public transport.
W: Why at his age?... And think of Sylvia. She’s just getting used to the idea of being in the nursery, can you imagine there being a nursery school in Layer-de-la-Haye? And I must say I... yes, I like to be free of her for part of the day, so that I can get the shopping and the housework done... quite apart from it being good for her.
1. What can we learn about the Layer-de-la-Haye house?
2. What can we learn from the conversation?
3. Why does Julia say Roger is a selfish person?
4. In Julia’s view, what is more practical?
5. According to Julia, what could be seen as a disadvantage?
选项
A、Living in the center of London.

C、Never living in a beautiful village house.
D、Don’t waste time on public transport.
答案

解析
对话中,女士对男士说“我觉得你只看自己喜欢的和不喜欢的,一点都不实际”,并列举了例子来说明。可见女士认为不要按照个人喜好来评判事情会更加实际一些。故选B项。
