Long conversation 2
M:So, Claire, you’re into drama!
W:Yes, I have a master’s degree in drama and theatre. At the moment, I’m hoping to get onto a Ph.D program.
M:What excite you about drama?
W:Well, I find it’s a communicative way to study people and you learn how to read people in drama. So usually I can understand what people are saying even though they might be lying.
M:That would be useful.
W:Yeah, it’s very useful for me as well. I’m in English lecture, so use a lot of drama in my classes such as role plays. And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well. At the moment, I’m hoping to get onto a Ph.D course. I’d like to concentrate on Asian drama and try to bring Asian theatre to the world’s attention. I don’t know how successful I would be, but, here’s hoping.
M:Oh, I’m sure you’ll be successful. Now, Claire, what do you do for stage fright?
W:Ah, stage fright! Well, many actors have that problem. I get stage fright every time I’m going to teach a new class. The night before, I usually can’t sleep.
M:What? For teaching?
W:Yes. I get really bad stage fright. But the minute I step into the classroom or get onto the stage, it just all falls into place. Then I just feel like: Yeah, this is what I mean to do. And I’m fine.
M:Wow, that’s cool!
23.Why does the woman find study in drama and theatre useful?

25.What does the woman say about her stage fright?
短对话
11 M：The biological project is now in trouble, you know, my colleague and I have completely different ideas about how to proceed.
W：Why don’t you compromise? Try to make it a win-win situation for you both.
Q：What does the woman suggest the man do?
12 M：How does Nancy like the new dress she bought in Rome?
W：She said she would never have bought an Italian style dress if she had known Mary had already got such a dress.
Q：What do we learn from the conversation?
13 M：You are not going to do all those dishes before we leave, are you? If we don’t pick up George and Martha in 25 minutes we will never get to the theater on time.
W：Oh, didn’t I tell you, Martha called to say her daughter was ill and they could not go tonight
Q：What is the woman probably going to do first?
14M ：You’ve been hanging on to the phone for quite a while, who were you talking with?
W：Oh, it was Sally, you know, she always has the latest news in town and can’t wait to talk it over with me.
Q：What do we learn about Sally from the conversation?
15W：It has always been hard to get this car into first gear, and now the clutch seems to be slipping
M：If you leave the car with me, I will fix it for you this afternoon.
Q：Who is the woman probably speaking to?
16M：Kate, why does the downtown area look deserted now?
W：Well, there used to be some really good stores, but lots of them moved out to the mall.
Q：What do we learn from the conversation?
17W :I found the lounge such a cozy place to study in. I really like the feeling in sitting on the sofa and doing the reading.
M: Well, for me the hardest part about studying here is staying awake.
Q：What does the man mean?
18W: These mosquitoes bite killing me. I can’t help scratching.
M: Next time you go camping, take some precaution, say wearing long sleeves
Q: Why does the man suggest the woman wear long sleeves?
