Q: Dialogue: M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you? W: Pardon? M: The book! You haven't turned the page in the last ten minutes. W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven't. I need to get through it, though, but I keep drifting away. M: So it doesn't really hold your interest? W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at a university. M: It's a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love. W: I should say, I don't like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less. M: It's not just the book, it's the curse as well? W: Yeah, in a way, although the curse itself isn't really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturer is fine, as to me, I suppose, you see, I want to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it. M: So the courses are OK as such, it's just that had if been left to you, you would choose a different one. W: Oh, they had my best interest and heart of course, my parents, they always do, don't they? They believe that my job prospect would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Plus, they give me a really generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting. Question: What is Karen thinking of doing? - Leaving the university. - Spending less of her parents' money. - Getting transferred to the English Department.
A: Leaving the university.
Question: Dialogue: M: We seem to be having this conversation over and over again. W: You're fight. M: Look, I know how you feel about my smoking. You don't have to tell me every day. W: I'm sorry. I worry about you. M: Let's be honest. There's always going to be a reason. After you graduate, it's going to be hard to find a job, then there will be the stress from just starting a job. M: OK, I get your point. It's just so hard. You don't really understand because you have never smoked. W: You need some help. Why don't you go to a doctor? M: You mean a psychiatrist? W: No, I don't. I mean a general practitioner. Maybe you can get a patch, or some pills, well, I don't know, something to help you with the withdrawal. M: Really, I believe I can quit on my own. But I'll think about it. I will. W: All fight. I won't mention it for a week. Then I want to know your decision. Because if you don't get some help, I need to rethink our plans. M: You mean you'd break our engagement over this? I can't believe it! W: I don't know. Question: What can we infer about the woman? - That she has stopped smoking. - That she does not want to get married. - That she has asked the man to quit smoking many times.
Answer: That she has asked the man to quit smoking many times.
