Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: I don't know what to do. I can't seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it. M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard? W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it, but they are trying to cut costs. M: You are pregnant, aren't you? W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to replace me than an X-ray equipment, I'm afraid to refuse to work. But I'm more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation. M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful. W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then? M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet. W: Do you think I have a good case? M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years. Question: What does the man say about the two federal laws? - Their requirements may be difficult to meet. - Neither is applicable to the woman's case. - Both of them have been subject to criticism.
Their requirements may be difficult to meet.

Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Hi, Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag? W: I'm offto the gym. I've got to stay in shape, you know. M: I know more women who exercise than men. What's the main reason you do that? For your health, or to look good? W: To be honest, for both. With women, good looks are always a very important consideration. M: I see. W: How about you? Do you get any regular exercise? M: I do a lot of walking for exercise and enjoyment-sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time-but I never go to the gym like you do. W: Well, walking is a good exercise. How about sports? M: Not since my school days. I used to love playing baseball, but it's impossible to get enough people together for a game now. Mostly I just watch sports on TV W: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself. M: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming. W: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime? M: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that. Question: What can be inferred from the dialogue? - The woman goes to the gym regularly. - The woman works at university. - The man enjoys free exercise.

Question: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Bob, do you know who I saw the other day? Old Jake, looking terribly depressed. Did he get pensioned off at last? M: Yes. They made him retire after 50 years at sea. He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is pasted. W: He is all alone, isn't he? M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school. And he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model. W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help? M: I don't suppose she come. She never got on with her father.

M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is. W: That bad-tempered old thing? M: Oh, he isn't really bad-tempered. He just looks it. He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family.

W: Do you want to stay in this country, or would you prefer to go abroad? M: I think I'd like to visit a foreign country. I'm not interested in Africa, but any place else would be fine. W: Well, that leaves the Orient, the Middle East, South America, and Europe. Oh, and I almost forgot Australia. Are you interested in seeing anything in particular? Historical monuments? Museums?
