W: Yeah. My grandpa gave it to me as a graduation gift. Isn't it nice? M: It is. I can't believe it's so thin! What kind of computer is it? W: It's an Apple MacBook Air. It's very lightweight and has a bunch of built-in apps. I couldn't be happier with it. M: Do they have any other colors besides that one? W: I don't know. I like this color. I've ordered a pink cover for it, but it won't arrive for a couple of weeks. M: Does the computer have a disk drive? W: No, it doesn't, but I don't need one. All of my documents are online. M: Well, you're very lucky. It will be great to have this when you start looking for jobs. W: I already have. Today, I spent the day at the cafe working on my resume. This computer has great battery life. M: Well, that's good. But the cafe near here is always so crowded. W: I know. But I like to work in busy cafes. The noise reminds me that everyone else is working hard, so I work hard, too. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: What are you doing, Mr. Zhang?
[Q]: Peter: I couldn't agree with you more, Jack. Americans are much more assertive than most foreigners. For example, Americans begin a discussion with a focus on accomplishments and concrete facts. Jack: You're right. America is a rather individualistic society, with less social pressure to conform. So you will need to become more assertive and to speak out on your own behalf. Peter: Another aspect of American behavior is Americans are more guarded about personal space. So when you are talking to an American, don't stay too close. This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is out of proportion to the relationship at the moment. Jack: Yes. Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances. So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary. Peter: In many cultures, eye contact is a sign of disrespect, which is not the ease in America. In fact, it is an indication of openness, honesty, and enthusiasm. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: Jack: Peter, people around the world come to America to live, work and study, so to understand America in terms of its cultural differences is very important.
Problem: Given the question: W: Yes, sure. M: Could you tell me when you became interested in gardening? W: Well, I was always interested in wild flowers and then in 1980 I read Margery Fish's book Cottage Garden Flowers, which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was reading about plants that I didn't know, so I started to read as much as I could and get different writers' advice. I also used to visit Kew Gardens a lot. That was when we lived in Harrow, West London. I learned a lot from my visit. By the way, Dorset is one of England's three most beautiful towns, the other two being Wiltshire and Somerset. You must know what. I'm often invited to give talks to biology students in college. M: Yes, certainly. That's why I came here. Now what was your first garden like? W: It was a very tiny piece of land, which came with my house in Harrow, West London. M: Do you grow many plants yourself? W: I don't grow many plants from seeds. But I have several friends and we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which often reminds me of so many people through the plants they've given me.

The answer is:
M: Mrs. Whinfield, thank you very much for allowing me to visit your wonderful garden. It really helps me a lot to write an article on Dorset gardens for our paper. Now I wonder if I could ask you a few questions.
