11. W: Why didn’t you have your geology class today?
M: Only three out of a class of twenty-five showed up. Since the professor had planned to present a complex demonstration, he decided to cancel the class until everybody could be present。
Q: Why didn’t the geology class meet today?
12. M: Did the party come off last night ?
W: Yes, but many didn’t show up。
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
13. M: The light in this dining hall is a little too bright, don’t you think?
W: I say it’s perfect for a football stadium。
Q: What does the woman mean?
14. W: There was a new quiz show on television last night, but we were just sitting down to dinner when it came on。
M: I watched it and it was great! The first four contestants won only small prizes, but the fifth left with a new luxury car。
Q: What happened last night?
15. W: Raise your hat a little bit and hold the saddle and smile a little. You look wonderful posing like that. Shall I press the shutter?
M: Wait a minute. Let me put on a cowboy hat。
Q: What are the speakers doing?
16. M: Congratulations. You certainly did quite well and I must say you deserve that grade。
W: Well, I really studied hard for that exam I've been preparing for it for more than a month. Now, I can relax for a while。
Q: Why is the woman so happy？
17. M: It's hard to believe that Susan has already finished her homework。
W: Well, she copied Jack's homework and made a few changes。
Q: What does the woman say about Susan？
18.W: Mr. Johnson, have you heard the morning news report? Mill has resigned his post as Prime Minister。
M: I didn't turn on the radio this morning, but I did see the headlines. If you remember, he threatened to leave the office at the last cabinet meeting。
Q: How did Mr. Johnson learn that the Prime Minister has resigned?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations。
Conversation One
W: Hi, Mike. I wonder if you have time to go with me to the cinema this Sunday。
M: Oh, I planned to finish my term paper that day, but Yamada invited me to a tea ceremony at his home。
W: Really? You’re lucky! The tea ceremony is a special form of entertainment for distinguished guests。
M: Yes, the tradition of tea ceremony has existed for about six hundred years. But, to be frank, I know little about those special and strict rules of the ceremony。
W: It’s not as hard as you imagine. I happened to have been invited to one tea ceremony once. I think I can give you some suggestions。
M: Oh, that’s good。
W: Remember, no matter what kind of tea ceremony you attend, they have one thing in common, that is, guests are invited to enjoy a moment of peace and calm。
M: Do you mean that the atmosphere is more important than the cakes and the tea itself?
W: Yes. And don’t forget to wash your hands in a rock water basin before entering the tea-room。
M: It sounds interesting. Is there a special room for a tea ceremony?
W: Of course. The room is very simple but very beautiful. The host and the guests will all sit on a kind of bamboo mats named ‘tatami’。
M: I know. I’m practicing to sit on my knees on the floor these days. My knees ached a lot。
W: But I’m sure the tea ceremony will release your pain and make you feel happy and peaceful。
