Question: W: How many days do you have, Mr. Ross? M: We have three more days. We're leaving on Friday. W: Have you taken a bus tour? That's the best way to get to know the city. M: Not yet. But we hear that it's worth doing. W: Absolutely. And I think you should really visit the science museum while you are here. It's fascinating. Have you been there yet? M: No, we're going there tomorrow afternoon. W: Well, you'll love it. M: I'm sure we will. W: What about the zoo? Have you been there yet? M: Oh, yes. That was lovely. It's one of the nicest zoos I've ever seen. Even better than San Diego's. W: And if you're interested in art, you should visit the National Art Gallery. It has a famous collections of Italian paintings. M: Yes. I've read about that. We should try to get there while we are here. W: And don't forget to try some of the local restaurants. The seafood is great here. M: Yes, it certainly is! Last night we had fantastic clams. Say, would you like to join us for dinner tonight? My wife would like very much to meet you. W: That'd be lovely. Thank you. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: M: Miss Stewart, I wonder if you could give me some advice about where to go and what to see in the city?
[Q]: M: But I like my job. W: Look, digging gardens is not a job for a university graduate. M: But the money's not bad and there's plenty of fresh air. W: If I were you, I'd take some kind of direction, like teaching law. M: Teaching? Anything but that. It's so boring. W: Come on, you really must think of the future. M: I'll tell you what. I'd like to be a doctor. W: Well, you should think very seriously about that. It means a lot of study, and then working all sorts of hours. M: Yes, maybe. But the idea sounds interesting. W: Well, then, you ought to get more information about it as soon as possible. What was said before this conversation?

Please answer this: M: You don't have to be very creative. It's very standard and more or less the same every year. For example, the sports day begins with throwing events. All jumping events take place before lunch. W: Why? M: That's because the school doesn't want the athletes to jump after eating. The jumping events take place after the throwing events. And the long distance race takes place before the jumping events. W: And after lunch? M: Actually, the school doesn't want any events to take place at that time. But they can practise for the next event. W: Do you mean the 100-meter race? M: Yes. It demands a lot of energy and seems to be the most exciting event, so it takes place at the end of the day, which is around 5:00 p. m. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: I must say, Miss, the food was great and I've never had better service.
input: Please answer the following: W: My expense for every semester is almost $15,000. At the start of each semester my parents pay the $10,000 in tuition. I also get $2,000 in financial aid. I have to earn the rest myself. M: How do you do that? W: I have a part-time job at a hotel. I work about twenty hours a week, and earn $400. Mter taxes, I make about $320. M: How do you spend the money? W: It helps to pay for my room and board on campus. It also pays for things like my cell phone, book, transportation, and clothes. M: You don't have much money for fun, do you? W: That's time! I stick to my budget carefully so I don't have to borrow. I don't like to owe people money. I hardly ever go to movies. My roommates and I usually rent videos, and split the cost, so it's cheaper. M: How else do you save money? W: I don't go to restaurants. I make meals with my roommates so it's cheaper to eat. I try to walk or ride my bicycle to college. Oh, and I buy a lot of my clothes at second-hand stores. You can find some very cheap, decent clothes in those stores.
