Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Good morning, everybody. Today, for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us, a well-known writer in this country. He is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories. M: OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I've been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away, and you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the wiz. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing. Question: What did Henry learn from the newspaper that day? - A valuable suitcase was missing. - A man stole money from a bank. - A woman ran away from home.
A man stole money from a bank.

Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Hello, Bob. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you getting along with your preparations for the entrance exam? M: Well, I really can't tell. Anyhow, I'm doing my best, working night and day. W: So am I. Sometimes, I feel very tired, both physically and mentally. M: I feel the same. I often suffer from headaches and general weakness. Not enough time for sleeping. I don't know what will become of me if it goes on like this for long. W: And no time for sports, even music, not to mention films or TV programs. All we can see is exercises, exam papers and this sort of things. M: It seems that to go to college is the only future we have. W: Certainly not. Even if we can't go to college, we can take up many other jobs and do our bits for the society as well. M: Quite right. But we'll get more knowledge after studying several years at college. That means we can work better for our country and people after graduation. In addition our parents lay great hope on us, and we shouldn't make them feel disappointed. Question: Who are the two speakers? - They are students preparing for the coming college entrance exam. - They are students preparing for the final exams. - They are colleagues.

Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Hi, Jenny. Is it true you're moving to London? W: Yes, it is. M: What made you decide to do that? W: Work, mainly. I'm sure I'll be able to find a job there. M: You're probably right. But where are you going to live? W: I hope I'll find a flat to share with somebody. That way it will be cheaper. M: Yes, that's a good idea. Are you taking your dog with you? W: No, I don't think so. My parents have offered to take care of him, and I don't think he'd be happy in the city. M: You're probably right. But aren't you afraid of moving to such a big place, especially after living in a small village? W: Not really. I think I'll enjoy myself. There's so much to do there; I expect I won't miss the countryside much and I can always come back and visit. M: Well, I just hope you'll invite me to stay when you get settled. W: Of course I will. Question: Why doesn't the woman take her dog with her? - She can't take care of it. - Her parents don't want her to take it. - She thinks the dog might not be happy there.
