Question on instructions for a listening exercise

Hi teachers,
The statement is from a CD.
According to this statement, 'Ikuko knew that she liked being with Hiroshi and that he’d never made her feel unhappy for a moment. Could this be the appropriate instruction? Write down what Ikuko knew and what Hiroshi had never done to her.

Thanks in advance

Ugh! That last part sounds rather pornographic. Try this: Write down why Ikuko liked Hiroshi.

Hi Mister Micawber,
Thank you for your reply. It's much simpler and less dangerous.
Gee! I didn't think about it. I should be careful.
Could this one be possible too? Write down why Ikuko liked being with Hiroshi.

The two instructions should elicit different answers:

'Ikuko knew that she liked being with Hiroshi and that he’d never made her feel unhappy for a moment.'

Write down why Ikuko liked Hiroshi.— Because she liked being with him and he’d never made her feel unhappy.
