[00:01.06]1. W: Having visited so many countries,
[00:07.08]you must be able to speak several different languages!
[00:10.90]M: I wish I could.
[00:12.00]But Japanese and,
[00:14.40]of course English are the only languages I can speak.
[00:18.23]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[00:38.71]2. W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.
[00:46.37]M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay?
[00:50.74]Anyhow, they are over 70 now,
[00:54.13]their present house is not too bad.
[00:56.43]Q: What does the man imply?
[01:15.54]3. M: Ma'am, I hear you have an apartment for rent,
[01:23.60]can I take a look at it?
[01:25.79]W: Sure, you're welcome any time by appointment,
[01:28.96]but I have to tell you the building is close to a railway,
[01:32.24]And if you can't put up with the noise you might as well save the trip.
[01:36.94]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[01:56.44]4. W: Tom must be in a bad mood today.
[02:02.32]He hasn't said half a dozen words all afternoon.
[02:06.15]M: Oh, really?
[02:07.35]That's not like the Tom we know.
[02:10.19]Q: What does the man imply?
[02:30.31]5. W: Here is this week's schedule, Tony.
[02:36.32]On Monday, there is the board meeting.
[02:38.73]Your speech to the Lion's Club is on Tuesday afternoon.
[02:42.34]Then on Wednesday you have an appointment with your lawer and...
[02:46.94]M: Wait, you mean the business conference on Tuesday is cancelled?
[02:52.08]Q: What will the man do this Tuesday?
[03:12.02]6. W: Jimmy said that he was going to marry a rich French businesswoman.
[03:19.75]M: Don't be so sure.
[03:21.50]He once told me that he had bought a big house.
[03:25.88]Yet he's still sharing an apartment with Mark.
[03:29.48]Q: What does the man imply?
[03:48.61]7. M: Hi, Melissa, how's your project going?
[03:56.38]Have you thought about going to graduate school?
[03:59.33]Perhaps you can get into Harvard.
[04:01.96]W: Everything is coming along really well.
[04:06.00]I have been thinking about graduate school.
[04:09.07]But I'll talk to my tutor Dr.Garcia first and see what she thinks.
[04:14.97]Q: What do you learn about the woman from the conversation?
[04:36.01]8. W: Did you attend Alice's presentation last night?
[04:45.30]It was the first time for her to give a speech to a large audience.
[04:50.33]M: How she could be so calm in front of so many people is really beyond me!
