question:
F: Dad, look at this friendship quiz. ,M: Why don't you try it? The first question, how often do you get in touch with your friends? ,F: Hmm... My friends aren't in the same secondary school as me, and I dislike ringing people up. I don't call my friends, even once a week. ,M: That means seldom. Secondly, how many friends can you talk with when you are upset? ,F: Oh, I can't think of any. I usually talk with you or mom when I feel sad. ,M: Poor Susan, you can't rely on us all the time. The last question, your friend wants to talk with you. Where would you have the talk? ,F: Well, we can't talk in the classroom. Maybe I would talk to her in a shopping center. We can talk and shop at the same time.
(A) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Would you mind speaking more slowly? (B) M: All right. So you talk with your teacher in a shopping center. (C) M: All right. So you only talk with your friend in a classroom. (D) M: All right. So you only talk with your friend in a cafe.
answer:
A


question:
F: Oh, it's so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot in there. I thought I melt. ,M: Terrible, wasn't it? Well, what did you think of Madame Curie? Do you think it is as good as the review said? ,F: It's a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some of the story was missing in the film. ,M: Yes, but you couldn't possibly fit everything that happens in a 200 page novel into a 2 hour film. There simply isn't the time. ,F: I know, but the director should at least try to follow the story. With this film, he left out some important people and even changed the end. ,M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story, Karen.
(A) F: He did. His film is far more realistic than the book. I like it. (B) F: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (C) F: Obviouesly, the book is better than the film, though he changed nothing. (D) F: He might. But I still like the original book than the film.
answer:
D


question:
M: Ann, let's go skating. It's not cold today. ,F: I'd like to, but I can't. I must finish my math homework this afternoon. ,M: Isn't the math homework due next Tuesday? ,F: That's true. But I have 2 French classes this Sunday and I'll go to visit my grandmother next Monday. I don't want to do my math homework there. I want to spend time with my grandparents. ,M: Then I'll call Sarah. She loves skating. I really want to have some fun during this long weekend.
(A) F: Yes, go to call Sara and ask her to skate. (B) F: I think you'd call Sara before you pay her a visit. (C) F: You can invite Sara to skate and we can certainly go together. (D) F: I am sorry. You spoke so rapidly that I did not catch the meaning of what you said. Could you repeat that?
