11.W: What’s wrong with your phone, John?I tried to call you all night last night.
M: I’m sorry.No one was able to get through yesterday.My telephone was disconnected by the phone company.
W: What happened to John’s telephone?
12. W: Jack, can you do the dishes tonight?I'm very tired.
M: Can't we just put them in the dish-washer?I've had a very bad day, too!I just want to kick back and relax.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
13. M: My boss is unreasonable.
He just yelled at me just because I made a few more copies.
W: Well, maybe you should think in his position.
The company is losing money, and he is under great pressure.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
14. W: Hey, you look concerned.What's on your mind?
M: The final exam.I'm not fully prepared yet.Even if there are three days to go,I still don’t think there’s enough time left.
Q: What was the man concerned about?
15. M: I think Jane looks so good with that blue dress.
Don’t you think so?
W: Are you kidding?She's behind the times.That style went out last year.
Q: What is the woman’s opinion about Jane’s dress?
16. M: I am moving to New York.I’ve got an offer as district manager there.
W: Oh, that's great!But I'm going to miss you.Don't forget to drop me a line when you settle down.
Q: What does the woman ask the man to do?
17.M: I just received a letter from one of my old high school classmates.
It surprised me.I haven't heard from him in ages.
W: To be frank with you,I haven't heard from him in ages.It's really hard to maintain contact when people move around so much.I've been out of touch with most of my old friends, too.
Q: What are the two speakers talking about?
18.W: I’d like you to come with me to the opening of the photography exhibit.
M: I’m exhausted.You’ll have to manage without me tonight.
Q: What will the woman probably do?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hi, Kevin.Your roommate told me that I could find you in the TV room.What are you doing here?Well, it looks like you are watching television.
M: What does it look like I am doing?
W: Well, it looks like you are watching television.But we have an advanced Mathematics mid-term tomorrow,so I thought you'd be studying for it and maybe I can study with you.
M: Oh, well, I was just taking a break.This advanced Mathematics stuff gives me a headache if I work on it too long.
W: I know what you mean.I've been working on it for three hours through it already.I'm beginning to go across.I'd been theorizing at the sample problems.I just don't get some of them.
M: But I can't believe you are coming to me.I mean you do know what I got on the last test, don't you?
W: Yeah, I know.You told me.I just thought two heads might be better than one.
M: Yeah, that's nice idea.But...you know,I wish I knew that person in our class who got a hundred on the last test.She didn't miss a question. Umm...was it Elizabeth?
W: Oh yeah, Elizabeth!She is a friend of mine.She'd be a big help right now.Why don't I give her a call?
M: What! At this hour?It's already ten thirty.I don't want to impose on her.
W: Yeah, I guess you are right.But you know what, she owes me a big favor.Let's at least give her a call and see what she says.Maybe going over some of the problems with us would help her review the material.
M: Well, it's worth a try.

Conversation Two
W: Hi, John.
M: Oh, hi, Laura. What are you doing here?
W: Uh, I’m usually here on weekends.It’s my dad’s shop.So, you are looking for a bike?
M: Yeah. Now the weather is warming up.I thought I’d get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.
W: Well, you came to the right place.Do you know what you’d like?
M: Well, I don’t want a racer or a touring bike or anything.Mostly I’ll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.
W: How far is that?
M: About four miles.
W: Are there a lot of hills on the way?
M: Some I guess.But, um, maybe I should just tell you in frontthat I’ve only got a hundred and fifty dollars.Can I get anything decent for that?
W: Well, you’re not going to get anything top of the line.
But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition.
M: That sounds good.
W: And you’re right.
For the kind of riding you’re going to be doing,
the most important thing is comfort.
You want to make sure it’s the right height for you.
Follow me and I’ll show you what we’ve got.
I think I have come to the right place.
M: OK, that’s great.
W: Yeah, hope you will like one of them.
