Exercise 11
11. W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you, and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month.
M: I hope not. I’d rather get more work hours so that I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college.
Q: What does the man truly want?
12. W: What did your doctor prescribe for you?
M: Well, he said there is no need for me to take any medicine if I eat well-balanced meals.
Q: What did the doctor say about the woman’s problem?
13. M: I could hardly recognize Sam after he got that new job! He’s always in a suit and tie now.
W: Yeah. He was never like at college. Back then, he would have run in old T-shirts and jeans.
Q: What can we learn about Sam according to the conversation?
14. M: The biological project is now in trouble, you know. My colleague and I have completely different ideas about how to proceed.
W: Why don’t you compromise (妥协)? Try to make it a win-win situation for you both.
Q: What is the woman’s suggestion to the man?
15. M: You’ve been hanging on to the phone for quite a while. Who were you talking with?
W: Oh, it was Sally. You know, she always has the latest news in town and can’t wait to talk it over with me.
Q: What do we learn about Sally from the conversation?
16. W: It has always been hard to get this car into first gear(挡), and now the clutch (离合器) seems to be slipping.
M: If you leave the car with me, I will fix it for you this afternoon.
Q: Who is the woman probably speaking to?
17. M: Kate, why does the downtown area look deserted now?
W: Well, there used to be some really good stores, but lots of them moved out to the mall.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
18. M: Hey, Louise, I’ve got a used copy of our chemistry textbook for half price.
W: I’m afraid you wasted your money. Yours is the first edition, but we’re supposed to be using the third edition.
Q: What can we learn about the man?
Conversation One
M: Margaret, (19) could you give me some advice?
W: What about, Ron?
M: Well, I’ve put off doing my science requirements for three years.
W: (19)(20)And if you want to graduate this year, you’ve got to take a science course.
M: Right. I figured since you’re doing pre-med (医学预科)you’d know about the various courses.
W: Well, I’ve had to take biology, chemistry, math and physics. What you need is a good introductory course for no-science majors.
M: Yes, but (19) I’m really weak in math---I did poorly in it in high school. I’m really puzzled why I have been so terrible in math until now.
W: Well, (19) you’d better avoid chemistry and physics. How about biology? That maybe suits you very well.
M: I also hope so, but the problem is the lab. I’m a little squeamish about dissecting things.
W: That is problem. (19) What about astronomy? Everybody says Dr. Colley is great, and I’d take that course myself if I had the time.
M: That’s what I thought I’d take, but it meets at the same time as my modern drama course. Any other course?
W: (19)(21)Geology is pretty interesting, and cutting up rocks shouldn’t bother you.
M: (21)That’s a good idea---it even fits in with (与 ... 相适应)my hobby of mountain climbing. Thanks a lot.
Conversation Two
W: Hey, Jack, Mr. Reed from EM Energy would come this afternoon, right?
M: Yes, and (22) I’m getting nervous about this.
W: Why? You’re not meeting clients for the first time.
M: Right, but (22)what drives me mad is not the meeting, but what to wear. You know, it will be a cocktail party that evening.
W: The company regulates that men should wear a suit and tie. That’s enough. And (23) I think your black suit and red tie would be fine.
M: Maybe I should not go to the cocktail party at all. I always feel like a fish out of water at party occasions.
W: Oh, stop talking like that, Jack! You will look perfect only if you feel at home at party. And besides, you don’t have a choice, do you?
M: Yes, you’re right. (24) I’m in charge of receiving Mr. Reed. Could you give me some advice what I should wear when receiving Mr. Reed?
W: (24) You mean at the airport? Better wear suits, definitely.
M: You mean that I wear suit all the way till the cocktail party?
W: Yes. You should wear it. You know, these are all formal occasions. And it’s related to our company image.
M: But I have only one black suit, my leisure wear won’t do?
W: Of course not. (25) Go and find another one, Jack. I am sure you’ll find it useful later on.
