Question 1:
M:That's a nice dress you're wearing.
W:Thank you. My father gave it to me as a birthday present. He knows red's my favorite color.
Question 2:
W:Mike, there's not much left in the refrigerator.
M:Well, I might be able to pick up a few things after work, but I have to be back rather late today.
W:In that case, we'll eat out at McDonald's.
M:OK. See you there at 8:00.
Question 3:
W:How long have you been a lock-keeper, Mr. Fiddler?
M:Oh dear, let me think... umm... I started when I was 25, so that means I've been at it for uh twenty one years now. Yeah, that's it-three years on the Oxford Canal and the past eighteen years here on the Reading Stretch. Twenty-one years in all.
W:Oh, really!That's incredible.
Question 4:
W:What about the new signposting in the airport?
M:New signposting!It's as bad as it's ever been. Oh, I've been going round in circles. You follow a sign and you find that the arrow's pointing the other way.
Question 5:
M:Are you and Sarah going straight to the restaurant from work tonight?
W:Actually, I'm leaving work early because I need to do some shopping in the market, and after that we're going to play tennis at the sports centre before we go to the restaurant.
Question 6:
W:Why are you leaving so early? The movie doesn't start till seven.
M:I don't want to be at the traffic there. It's a nightmare on the express way during rush hour.
Question 7:
M:I'd like to deposit this in my savings account.
W:All right. Please print your name on the deposit slip.
M:OK.
Question 8:
W:I often mistake John for Jim. Can you tell them apart?
M:No, they look so alike that they even confused their mother sometimes when they were young.
W:That's interesting.
Question 9:
W: Mr. Smith is good at Arabic, and now he is beginning to study French.

W: Oh, he is born to be a language expert.
Question 10:
W: Good evening, this is the East Coast Grill.
M: Hi, I'd like to make a reservation for a table for tomorrow night.
W: Sure, and how many people would that be for?
M: Six.
W: So, a table for six on Friday June 7th. Bye.
M: Thanks, bye.
Questions 11~13 :
W: Excuse me. I'm doing a survey on the recent modernization of this airport. Would you mind answering some questions?
M: Well, if you're quick.
W: Right. Could you tell me where you're going and why you're going there?
M: Yes, I'm flying to Barcelona on business.
W: OK. Can you tell me how often you use the airport?
M: Yes, I use this airport approximately twice a month because of my work.
W: And what do you think of the new restaurant?
M: I'm sorry, but I think it's tacky-cheap, vulgar, I mean-plastic cups, wobbly chairs, we deserve something better.
W: Right, now what about the speed of airport procedures and formalities?
M: Well, that varies. Now, some days they're all right, they can cope but on busy days they can't cope at all-if it gets overcrowded they just don't seem to have the staff to deal with the situation and there are delays.
W: Thank you. What about the new parking facilities?
M: In my opinion the parking lot is too far from the terminals. I know there's a courtesy bus but it isn't frequent enough.
W: Well, er, and what about the transport links to the airport?
M: Transport facilities, public transport is pretty good. I think there are frequent rail services and buses. I think it's pretty good.
Questions 14~17:
W: Please sit down. Let's see, you are Mr. Walsh, is that right?
M: Right.
W: And you are looking for a job?
M: Yes, I am. I'll graduate from college next June. I'm majoring in agriculture.
W: I see. Have you ever done any work in this field?
M: No, but we did practice work in class.
W: Then what kind of salary are you hoping to get?
M: From what I've read, it seems that a starting salary would be around $12, 000 a year.
W: Here you would start at $10, 500 for the first year. Then you would go to $15, 000. After that your raises would depend on how well you work.
M: That sounds fair enough. Is it all right if I send in my recommendation letters and the rest of the things for my application?
W: That would be fine. After Mr. Sheehan reads all the applications over, he'll make the final decision.
M: What do you think the chance that I get the job is?
W: Well, I'm talking to three persons today and four tomorrow. We will hire two.
M: I surely hope that I can work here. But I guess I'll just have to go home and wait.
W: You'll hear something next month. Good luck and thanks for coming.
Questions 18~21:
M: Is this table in the corner OK?
W: Sure. We can sit here.
M: You have hardly got anything in your plate.
W: I guess I'm just not very hungry.
M: What's the matter?Aren't you feeling well?
W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the shop again.
M: Really?What's wrong this time?
W: I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes, I guess.
M: Well, at least it won't cost you much. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?
W: He said he would call me and tell me the price tomorrow.
M: Watch out he doesn't take advantage of you.
W: What do you mean?
M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person.
W: Maybe so. But I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. His prices are reasonable.
M: Oh, that's good to know. By the way, do you need a ride home after class today?
W: Oh, I sure appreciate it. It's really hard getting around without a car when you live off the university.
Questions 22~25 :
Most astronauts from America have been men. However, some women were very keen to become astronauts and in the end they were successful.
Judy Resnick and Christa McAuliffe were both women astronauts on Flight STS-51-L, but they were very different. Judy was born in 1949 and studiedengineering at university and went on to obtain a Ph D in 1977. She was a member of the first group of women selected for astronaut training in 1978, and in 1984, she became the second woman in space. During that flight, she helped to launch three new satellites and she carried out a program of research. She was a professional astronaut.
Christa McAuliffe was born in 1948 and she was an astronaut almost by accident. In 1984, NASA decided to find a teacher who could accompany astronauts into space. They hoped that she would be able to communicate with students from space. Christa was a secondary teacher in history and social studies and she was selected from over 11, 000 applicants to go on flight STS-51-L. Thousands of students in schools and universities all around the country were looking forward to communicating with Christa in space. Millions of people were watching her flight with great interest.
