When my husband was promoted,we put out our house for sale.Three days later,it was still on the market.I became a busy housekeeper.Every room has to be kept tidy and dishes had to be washed and put away when used.Then one day,the doorbell rang unexpectedly at 8 a.m.Sleepily,I opened the door,and saw our agent standing there with a couple from New York.“There has been no time to call you.” He explained,“Because the couple had to catch a plain home.” The three people made their way pass the dirty black dishes on the kitchen table and into a bedroom with unmade beds.As I retreated into the bathroom to comb my hair,I heard the man say something to his wife.Then they both laughed.Two days later,the agent phoned to tell me that the couple had bought their house.He repeated what the buyer had said when he handed over the check the following day,“That house has a warm,lived-in feeling just like ours.”
Questions 8 to 10 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
1 Why did the speaker sell her house?
2 Why did the agent call on the speaker so early in the morning?
3 Why did the couple laugh in the speaker’s house?
1 her husband was promoted
2 bought a couple to see the house
3 That house has a warm, lived-in feeling just like theirs
