　　11. W: So, how did Tom’s presentation go?

　　M: It wasn’t bad. But the topic he chose last time was more interesting.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　12. M: Amy, see if you can give Dr. Smith a call and ask him if he can fix the appointment for Monday.

　　W: Yes, so I’ll call him and tell him you’re expecting him at 10:00 on Monday morning.

　　Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

　　13. W: What exactly do you mean by a friend?

　　M: Well, it should be someone you know you can rely on, someone who will help you anytime you need, who will listen to you when you talk about your problem.

　　Q: What are they talking about?

　　14. M: Is the boy who had the accident in serious condition?

　　W: I’m afraid he is, but they’ve kept the news from his mother.

　　Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

　　15. M: Next time you invite me to dinner, shall I bring a bottle of wine?

　　W: That’s all right with me, but you know in this country it isn’t a custom to bring alcohol.

　　Q: What does the woman think about the man’s offer?

　　16. W: There is an article in this magazine you may find interesting. It is about buying running shoes.

　　M: If it were not for chemistry and my final exam drawing near, I would read it now.

　　Q: What is the man probably doing?

　　17. W: John, are you doing research for professor Williams this semester?

　　M: Actually I'm working as his teaching assistant.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　18. M: My reading of French is so slow that I’ll never finish these stories before the test.

　　W: I read them when I took that course last year. So I can tell you about them in English right now and then you’ll pass the test.

　　Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.

　　Conversation One

　　W: Hey Henry, how’s everything going, and what’s with the flowers?

　　M: They’re for my wife.
