　　M: Hi, Janet. Have you seen the exam schedule for this term yet?

　　W: No, I haven't. How many exams should I take?

　　M: Well. It all depends on the classes you're taking and whether your professors are giving final exams.

　　W: I know that! And that's why I'm so nervous. I think I've got tests in every class I'm taking.

　　M: (22) Would you believe that I have four exams scheduled on the same day?

　　W: You've got to be kidding. Isn't there some school regulation about that you're not required to take more than three on the same day?

　　M: Well if there is a rule. I'm certainly going to find out about it. I'm not sure if I can even handle two or three tests, much less four.

　　W: (23) You really should check with the Dean of Students Office. The same thing happened to Richard last year and he was able to reschedule one of his.

　　M: By the way, do you want to know (24) when our history and psychology tests are?

　　W: Sure, why not?

　　M: History is 4th period on Tuesday the 15th and psychology is 2nd period on Wednesday the 16th.

　　W: I'm not much worried about the psychology test, (25)but Professor Gore said that the history test was going to be on everything we covered this term. You know those historians.

　　M: Yeah. That sounds terrible. My advanced mathematics and chemistry tests are probably going to be tough.
