Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Susan, I could really need your help this weekend. W: What is it, John? Another term paper? M: No, no. This is easy compared to that. My cousin is coming on Thursday. She has an interview at the college and I promised my aunt that I'll look after her. We are going to the game on Friday, but Saturday I'm on duty at the library all day and can't get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can all meet for dinner later. W: Sure. I don't have any plans. What kind of things does she like to do? M: Actually I haven't seen her for three years. She lives so far away. But this will be her first time on a college campus, she is still in high school. So she probably enjoys anything on campus. W: Well, there is a music festival in the auditorium. That's a possibility. Only I hope it doesn't snow. M: Well, I'll plan on dropping her off at your place on the way to work, around eleven. But if there is a blizzard, I'll give you a call and see if we can figure something else out. W: Sounds good. Meantime I'll keep Saturday open. We can touch base Friday night when we have a better idea of the forecast. M: I hope this works out. I feel kind of responsible. She won't know a way around. And I want her to have a good time. Anyway I really appreciate your help. I owe you one. W: No problem. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Question: What does the man ask the woman to do? - Show his cousin around the campus. - Go out for a dinner. - Help him finish another term paper.

I've prepared a few rules regarding the use of the motor vehicles in this house. Daughter: Like what? Father: Let me get my notes here. Daughter: Dad! That looks like a book? Mom, Dad's being mean to me. Father: Okay, let me get my reading glasses here. Okay, here we are. Rule number one: No driving with friends for the first six months. Daughter: What? Father: Teenagers often lack the judgment to drive responsibly, especially when several teenagers are involved. I mean they speed, they joyride, they cruise around town way past midnight.

Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: I'm here with Margaret Seabrook, the CEO of Creative Toys. In today's show, we're going to discuss the hottest new toy of 2018: the Super Spinner. Margaret, welcome! W: Thank you, Brian. It's great to be here. M: OK, so tell us about this new toy. W: Well, it's similar to a relaxation ball in its function, but it's useful for anyone who has problems focusing. M: So, how does it work? W: It's about the size of a cookie, and it has three small round parts that can move in any direction. Basically, you just hold it in between your thumb and middle finger and spin it. That's it. M: That's it? W: Yeah. It's very popular not only with children, but with adults as well. M: A professor at MIT by the name of Jill Meanley has publicly stated there is no scientific or medical evidence for your claims about its benefits. Many schools also have banned the toy, saying it leads to a lack of focus in the classroom. W: Well, that professor is allowed to have her opinion. M: Fair enough. And who invented it? W: Catherine Hettinger, a chemical engineer, was first believed to be its creator, but then we found that an IT professional named Scott McCoskery was the actual inventor. M: It's time for a commercial break. More with Margaret Seabrook in a moment. Question: Who actually invented the toy? - Jill Meanley. - Catherine Hettinger. - Scott McCoskery.

Catherine Hettinger.
