Philip: Do you live in New York? Laura: No, no. I'm from Florida. Philip: I am, too. But didn't you just get on the train? Laura: No, no. I just changed my seat.

What part? Laura: My husband and I live near Spaceport. Philip: I know that area. My house is only a few miles from Spaceport. Do you still live there? Laura: Oh, yes. My husband's there now. He couldn't take time off to come to New York with me Do you still live there? Philip: No. I sold the house and the furniture, put a few personal things in an old trunk, and sent it to my children in New York. That's my destination. Laura: Are you married? Philip: My wife died four years ago. She was a wonderful woman. A real friend. Laura: I'm sorry. Really, I'm sorry. Philip: Lots of wonderful memories. We were married almost fifty years. Well, forty-seven, to be exact. Laura: John and I will celebrate our fortieth anniversary next month. Philip: Oh, congratulations! That's nice. What does John do? Laura: He's an engineer and works for Orlando Aircraft Corporation. He started with them almost forty years ago. What do you do? Philip: I just retired. Had my own company. A construction company. Roads, bridges, big stuff. But I just sold it and retired. Laura: The conductor is coming to us. He must be here to check the tickets. I have a ticket, I know. Have I lost it in the smoking section? Philip: Don't worry. I'm sure it's in your purse, Mrs Smith. Laura: Oh. Here it is. Thank you. Philip: Do you have family in New York? Laura: No, no. But I do have very close friends in New York City. We like to go to the theater together. You said you have family in New York. Philip: Yes, indeed. A son and his wife and their three children — my grandchildren. Laura: You must be excited. Philip: I can't wait to see them! Laura: Are you going to live with them? Philip: Yes. Laura: Permanently? Philip: Well, they want me to, but it's too early to know for sure. I'm pretty independent. I tried to teach my kids the importance of independence, but I'm not sure I want to be alone. Some people don't mind being alone. I do. Laura: I understand. But tell me, why did you stop working? Philip: I regard work as a means to an end. I enjoy my profession up to a point, but it certainly doesn't rule my life. Laura: So you left the business world? Philip: I retired because I wanted to be with my family. I didn't want to be alone any more. Basically, I'm a family man. Now I'm old, family life seems to be much more important. Laura: Well, here we are. The train will be stopping in five minutes. It is so nice meeting you, Mr Bennett. Philip: And nice meeting you, too, Mrs Smith. Please look us up if you are free. We're in the phone book. Dr Michael Bennett, in Riverdale. Laura: Your son? Philip: That's right. And have a good time in New York. Laura: And don't be so independent. You're very lucky to have a caring family. 对话第四个话轮中女士明确拒绝了男士让她坐靠窗座位的提议，并说：I like the aisle seat better (我喜欢挨着过道坐)，因此题句是错误的。当然，本题还需要考生听清下一个话轮中双方对自己姓名的介绍，才能得知女士就是Laura。
