5 Read the text. Use a dictionary if it is really necessary. Then decide which picture shows the woman's dream.
(This is from a science fiction story. A woman who lives on a distant planet, millions of miles away from the earth, is talking to her husband.)
"I dreamed about a man." "A man?" "A tall man, six feet one inch tall." "How absurd; a giant, a misshapen giant." "Somehow"- she tried the words- "he looked all right. , In spite of being tall. And he had - oh, I know you'll think it Silly= he Kad blue eyes!" "Blue eyes! Gods!" cried Mr K. "What'll you dream next? I suppose he had black hair?" "How did you guess?" She was excited. "I picked the most unlikely colour," he replied coldly. "Well, black it was!" she cried. "And he had a very white skin; oh, he was most unusual! He was dressed in a strange uniform and he came down out of the sky and spoke pleasantly to me." She smiled. "Out of the sky; what nonsense!" "He came in a metal thing that glittered in the sun," she remembered. She closed her eyes to shape it again.
a coin thrown in the air, and suddenly it grew largand fell down softly to land, a long silver craft, round and alien. And a door opened in the side of the silver object and this tall man stepped out. He looked at me and he said 'I've come from the third planet in my ship. My name is Nathaniel York-'" "A stupid name; it's no name at all," objected the husband. "Of course it's stupid, because it's a dream," she explained softly. "And he said, 'This is the first trip across space. There are only two of us in our ship, myself and my friend Bert."' "Another stupid name." "And he said, 'We're from a city on Earth; that's the name of our planet,'" continued Mrs K. "That's what he said." Mr K turned away. She stopped him with a word. "VII?" she called quietly. "Do you ever wonder if- well, if there are people living on the third planet?"
