　　11. W: I’d like a satin dress for this summer. It’ll make me look more elegant.

　　M: Forget about it. It’s one of those catwalk illusions and doesn’t generally translate into reality.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　12. W: What’s all that smoke coming from your window? I was about to call the fire department.

　　M: You’re just in time to try my moon cakes. I’m afraid I’ve burned these, but the first batch should be all right.

　　Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

　　13. M: Thank you so much for applying to become a Resident Assistant and for coming to this interview today.

　　W: You’re welcome. I’m so happy to have the opportunity to talk with you and to go through the Resident Assistant process.

　　Q: What are the two speakers doing?

　　14. M: Hey, Lee. Did you watch the Super Bowl last Sunday? My favorite team the Patriots won the game in the last 9 seconds.

　　W: I am a big fan of that team too. The winning field goal was so incredible!

　　Q: What are the two speakers talking about?

　　15. M: Are you sure that you really want to be a policewoman? Aren’t you afraid something could happen to you?

　　W: Relax. I plan to eventually work in Crime Scene Investigation. I’ll only have to spend one year patrolling on the streets.

　　Q: What is the man concerned about?

　　16. M: Linda, do you need any help with your luggage? I don’t have to work tomorrow, and I can drive you there if you need.

　　W: No, thanks. I’ll just bring one carry-on and my backpack. And you should go to the gym to have a workout.

　　Q: Where is the woman going tomorrow?

　　17. W: I have eaten in so many restaurants during the last two weeks. The thought of eating out makes me weak.

　　M: I feel the same way, but it cannot be helped. There’s no way to get out of this invitation.

　　Q: What is the speakers’ attitude towards eating out?

　　18. M: I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long. I didn’t expect the meeting would last for such a long time.

　　W: It’s OK, Mr. Green. I brought the data you required and the few reference books which may be helpful for your presentation at the conference.

　　Q: Why did the woman visit the man?

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.

　　Conversation One

　　M: Good morning, Doctor Richardson.

　　W: Good morning. Mr…?

　　M: Taylor. John Taylor.
