W: Hey，Tom. How is your literature presentation going?

M: What literature presentation? I don't have to give mine until the end of the next week.

W: You mean you haven't even started working on it yet?

M: No. (1)I need the pressure of a deadline to set inspired.（男士說他事到臨頭才會(huì)激發(fā)靈感，可能到下周才做。）

W: Really? (2)I'm quite the opposite.（原因一：與男士的態(tài)度相反。） I can't concentrate unless I know I have plenty of time.（原因二：需要足夠的時(shí)間。）Besides I have a big math test next week.（原因三: 下周有重要考試。）So I want to get my presentation out of the way.

M: What's your presentation on?

W: T. S Eliot.

M: Wasn't he a poet?(3) I thought we were supposed to focus on a novel.（內(nèi)容須是關(guān)于一本小說的。）

W: He wrote novels，do you know?

M: Oh. Really? (4-1) I never knew that. I guess I'll learn more on Tuesday.（男士不了解T. S Eliot的作品。）Is that when you are supposed to talk?

W: Uh-huh. But I was going to offer you a preview. (4-2) I'm looking for someone to tell me whether I'm talking too fast and whether you can follow what I'm saying.（女士需要?jiǎng)e人對(duì)她的陳述給出意見。）

M: I guess I could do that. When were you thinking of?

W: Will this afternoon be all right? I have a class to go to now but I'll be around before dinner.

M: That sounds good. I'll stop by your room. It's probably quieter there than in my hall.
