Section A
1.W: Did you watch the 7 o’clock program on Channel 2 yesterday evening? I was about to watch it when someone came to see me.
M: Yeah! It reported some major breakthrough in cancer research. People over 40 would find the program worth watching.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the TV program?
2.W: I won the first prize in the National Writing Contest and I got this camera as an award.
M: It’s a good camera! You can take it when you travel. I had no idea you were a marvelous writer.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
3.M: I wish I hadn’t thrown away that reading list!
W: I thought you might regret it. That’s why I picked it up from the waste paper basket and left it on the desk.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
4.W: Are you still teaching at the junior high school?
M: Not since June. My brother and I opened a restaurant as soon as he got out of the army.
Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
5.M: Hi, Susan! Have you finished reading the book Professor Johnson recommended?
W: Oh, I haven’t read it through the way I’d read a novel. I just read a few chapters which interested me.
Q: What does the woman mean?
6.M: Jane missed class again, didn’t she? I wonder why?
W: Well, I knew she had been absent all week. So I called her this morning to see if she was sick. It turned out that her husband was badly injured in a car accident.
Q: What does the woman say about Jane?
7.W: I’m sure the Smiths’ new house is somewhere on the street, but I don’t know exactly where it is.
M: But I’m told it’s two blocks from their old home.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Hello, I have a reservation for tonight.
W: You name, please.
M: Nelson, Charles Nelson.
W: Ok, Mr. Nelson. That’s a room for five and…
M: Excuse me, you mean a room for five pounds? I didn’t know the special was so good.
W: No, no, no---according to our records, a room for 5 guests was booked under your name.
M: No, no---hold on. You must have two guests under the name.
W: OK, let me check this again. Oh, here we are.
M: Yeah?
W: Charles Nelson, a room for one for the 19th…
M: Wait, wait. It was for tonight, not tomorrow night.
W: Em…, em…, I don’t think we have any rooms for tonight. There’s a conference going on in town and---er, let’s see… yeah, no rooms.
M: Oh, come on! You must have something, anything!
W: Well, let---let me check my computer here… Ah!
M: What?
W: There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available.
M: Great, I’ll take it.
W: But, I’ll have to charge you 150 pounds for the night.
M: What? I should get a discount for the inconvenience!
W: Well, the best I can give you is a 10% discount plus a ticket for a free continental breakfast.
M: Hey, isn’t the breakfast free anyway?
W: Well, only on weekends.
M: I want to talk to the manager.
W: Wait, wait, wait…Mr. Nelson, I think I can give you an additional 15% discount.

Conversation Two
M: Sarah, you work in the admissions office, don’t you?
W: Yes, I, mmm, I’ve been here ten years as an assistant director.
M: Really? What does that involve?
W: Well, I’m in charge of all the admissions of postgraduate students in the university.
M: Only postgraduates?
W: Yes, postgraduates only. I have nothing at all to do with undergraduates.
M: Do you find that you get a particular sort of … different national groups? I mean, do you get larger numbers from Latin America or…?
W: Yes. Well, of all the students enrolled last year, nearly half were from overseas. They were from African countries, the Far East, the Middle East, and Latin America.
M: Em. But have you been doing just that for the last 10 years, or have you done other things?
W: Well, I’ve been doing the same job. Er, before that, I was secretary of the Medical School at Birmingham, and further back, I worked in the local government.
M: Oh, I see.
W: So I’ve done different types of things.
M: Yes, indeed. How do you imagine your job might develop in the future? Can you imagine shifting into a different kind of responsibility or doing something…?
W: Oh, yeah, from October 1, I’ll be doing an entirely different job. There’s going to be more committee work. I mean, more policy work, and less dealing with students, unfortunately---I’ll miss my contact with students.

14.What do we learn about the postgraduates enrolled last year in the woman’s university?
