　　11. W: I need a sweater. Do you have any navy blue ones in my size?

　　M: We don’t have any in navy, but there are some in light blue.

　　Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

　　12. M: Could I borrow your umbrella when I go to the shops?

　　W: I’m sorry, but I’ll need it myself in a few minutes.

　　Q: What does the man ask the woman to do?

　　13. M: These watches aren’t made nowadays, are they?

　　W: No. If they were, they’d be too expensive for most people.

　　Q: What can you conclude about the conversation?

　　14. M: Hi, Susan. I hear that you walk all the way to the office these days.

　　W: Yes. I have found great pleasure in walking. That’s the type of exercise I enjoy very much.

　　Q: Why does the woman walk all the way to the office?

　　15. M: How about the food I ordered? I’ve been waiting for twenty minutes already.

　　W: Very sorry, sir. I’ll be back with your order in a minute.

　　Q: What’s the woman’s job?

　　16. M: Angela, you look even younger than ten years ago. I remember that you used to wear glasses and have short hair.

　　W: Thank you. That’s nice of you to say. You know, Walter, you haven’t changed at all.

　　Q: What does Angela look like now?

　　17. M: What’s the matter?

　　W: I’ve got a real problem. As a matter of fact, I’ve got several problems. Judy and I are supposed to go to the theatre tonight. The play begins at 8∶00 and I’m supposed to meet Judy at 7∶30. I’m not dressed yet. And it’s already 7∶20.

　　Q: What time should the woman meet Judy?

　　18. W: Bob, you got the highest score in the employment test and the bosses like you.

　　M: I know, Anna,but they don’t have to take the person with the highest test score. I’m not sure I can make it.

　　Q: Why did the man take the test?

　　Conversation One

　　M: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a result they’ve lost respect for their parents and their elders generally?

　　W: I don’t thinks so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.

　　M: Are you quite independent of them now?

　　W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.

　　M: You seem very close to your parents.

　　W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents but I’m rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you?

　　M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. I’m very fond of my family, but I don’t always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.

　　W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.

　　M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child.

　　W: As I said, I’m lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
