Read the below conversation. M: What did you think of the lecture? W: I thought it was very interesting. M: Did you really? W: Yes, didn't you? M: Certainly not. I thought he talked a lot of rubbish. W: So you think you know more than he does. M: Well, take coal for instance. W: What about it? M: Coal won't become important again. W: Why not? M: It's too dirty. They won't be able to find people to work down coal mines in the future. W: They'll invent new kinds of machinery. What would the listener say?

Answer: M: Nonsense. The only sort of power they'll use in the future is atomic power.
Q: Read the below conversation. W: We've all heard the saying "Laughter is the best medicine." How important is it to our health, Dr. Berk? M: This saying has been scientifically proven! A year-long study of heart attack victims done at the Oakhurst Health Research Institute in California found that of those patients who spent half an hour a day watching comedy videos, 10 percent had a second heart attack, whereas 30 percent of those who did not watch had a second attack. W: Wow! Laughter is really a good medicine to patients. Can you give us another example? M: Sure! Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review, learned this during a battle with an illness. He discovered that his condition improved when he enjoyed himself and watched funny movies. W: You said Norman learned this? Do we have to learn to laugh? M: Not necessarily. Since laughing is something people can do sitting down, costs no money, and requires no special exercise equipment or skill, it's the perfect workout for anyone who doesn't have the time or desire to participate in a regular fitness program. W: Oh. Do you have such a program to offer to the general public? M: Yes, we do. It's called the Smile Time-Out. You take a deep breath, smile, exhale, and say "Aaah" while visualizing all your muscles and cells smiling. Then add to that a memory of a time you felt really good and laughed and laughed. W: What about the situation in which you aren't in a mood to laugh? What would the listener say?
A: M: Even when you fake a smile or laugh, you get the same physiological benefits as when it's the real thing, because your mind is smart, but your body is stupid and can't tell the difference!
Question: Read the below conversation. M: Did you watch the TV special about barnacles last night? W: No, I missed it. What did you learn about them? M: That they glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in the same place forever. W: Right, have you ever tried removing one of those things? It would be easier to chip the rock away than to get the barnacles off. M: Exactly, and that's why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacles glue is made of. It's considered one of the strongest adhesives in nature. W: And it would have the advantage of being able to work on wet surfaces too. M: Precisely, and because it's natural protein, it probably wouldn't be harmful to people like so many synthetic glues in use today. W: Think of all the ways doctors and dentists could use such a glue, mending broken bones, fasting false teeth. What would the listener say?
Answer: M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly how the glue is made, so that people can make use of it.
[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: So what do you think you are going to do when you graduate, John? M: I'm not sure. My dad says I should work in information technology. You know something with computers. W: Is that what your dad does? M: Not really. He is an engineer. W: How about you? What are you interested in doing? M: Well. I'm interested in medicine. I'd love to be a doctor. W: Yeah, what subject are you good at? What would the listener say?
****
[A]: M: Math is my best subject. And I'm also pretty good at science.
input: Please answer the following: Read the below conversation. W: Can I help you? M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture. W: Professor Grand's class? M: That's right. How could you know? W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles. M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matterwhich one you give me first. W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out. M: You're joking, all of them? W: Every month. I've asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned. M: And here's me. I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read. What would the listener say?
++++++++++
output: W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again. We open at eight.
