1. W: Oh, Dick. You are wearing a black jacket but yellow trousers. It’s the strangest combination I’ve ever seen.
　　M: I know. I got up late and dressed in a hurry. I didn’t realize my mistake until I entered the office.
　　Q: What does the woman think of the way Dick dressed?

　　2. M: Excuse me. But has anyone turned in a brown leather wallet? I’ve lost my wallet. It contains my driver’s license and also some family pictures that are pretty important to me.
　　W: Oh, yes. We had a wallet brought in this morning. Wait here just a minute, please.
　　Q: What would the woman probably do?

　　3. M: Excuse me, Madam. Is the air-conditioning on? This room is as hot as a furnace.
　　W: Sorry, sir. A new epidemic called SARS is threatening us right now. As a preventative measure, we are told to let in fresh air by opening the windows and not to use the air conditioners.
　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　4. M: You look quite different from what you used to.
　　W: Sure. I started exercising regularly two years ago and went from 253 pounds to a healthy 160 pounds and that is the only thing I did not give up halfway.
　　Q: What do we know about woman?

　　5. M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job.
　　W: Yes, certainly. But if only you had sent your application letter a week earlier.
　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　6. W: Shouldn’t someone go pick up the clothes form the laundry? They were ready three hours ago.
　　M: Don’t look at me, mom.
　　Q: What does the boy mean?

　　7. M: Er... Hi, could you tell me where electronic products are displayed? I want to see some TVs, digital video cameras, DVD players, that sort of thing.
　　W: Well. Several countries are displaying electronic products. China’s selection is very large this year. You might as well go to the east wing first to take a look at a Chinese booth.
　　Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?

　　8. M: Well, what did you think of the movie?
　　W: I don’t know why I let you talk me into going. I just don’t like violence. Next time you’d better choose a comedy.
　　Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

　　9. W: Who do you think should get the job? How about Mr. Becket?
　　M: Mr. Becket? I’m not sure. He is a nice fellow, of course, and easy to get along with. But I doubt his professional expertise. I want someone who can get the job done.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation about Mr. Becket?

　　10. M: Do you think home video players will replace movie theatres and force them out of the entertainment business?
　　W: We’re certainly faced with the grave challenge from the DVD industry. That’s why I think we have to revolutionize our concept of movie showing. As I see it, the movie theatre should not just be a place to watch a film, but a place to meet people.
　　Q: What does the woman think of the movie theatre?
