　　W: Aaa.

　　M: Eh, your throat looks a little red. Let me check your tongue. . . Mmm, it seems okay.

　　W: To tell you the truth, (20) I stayed up very late last week and only slept four or five hours every night. My term paper was crushing the vitality out of me. I tried my best to prepare for it.

　　M: That may explain something. You are wearing yourself out. (21) Now what you should do is have a good rest and drink more water.

　　W: That's all? I thought you would give me a lot of medicine and ask me to stay in bed for a couple of days. Thank heavens! I almost thought I was dying!

　　M: You really needn't worry. Just take care of your bedtime. Lacking of sleep can lead a lot of problems. You don't want to be ill during the summer vacation, do you?

　　W: Of course not. Thank you so much. Goodbye!

　　M: Bye.
