W: We'll have a math test next Monday, so I thought you'd be studying for it and maybe I can study with you. M: But I can't believe you are coming to me. I mean you do know what I got on the last test, don't you? W: Yeah, I know. You told me, but I thought two heads might be better than one. M: Well, that's a nice idea. But I wish I knew the person in our class who got a hundred on the last test. She even didn't miss any question, you know! Umm, was it Elizabeth? W: Oh yeah, Elizabeth! She is a good friend of mine. I think she'd be a big help to us right now. Why don't we give her a call? M: What? At this hour? It's already ten thirty. It's too late. W: But you know she owes me a big favor. Let's at least give her a call and see what she says. Maybe going over some of the problems with us would also help her review the material. M: You're right. Anyway, it's worth a try., Question: What are the two speakers mainly discussing? (A) Calling a roommate. (B) Visiting a friend of theirs. (C) Studying for a test.

Q: W: We've overspent dreadfully this month. M: By how much? W: It looks to me as if it's getting on for almost 400 pounds. M: Oh, does that mean we won't be able to get our holiday? W: I honestly don't think that we could afford to go really. M: But we haven't had a holiday for three years! Just because we can't afford it. W: That's true. M: I was really looking forward to this holiday... three weeks in Barbados at Christmas-warmth, sea, sunshine. W: I know. So was I. M: Can't we ask your mother for the money? Can't we borrow the money from somewhere for the holiday? W: Well, You know we're still in debt over the car. And we've always said we wouldn't borrow money for things that weren't absolutely essential. A holiday isn't essential. M: I really feel it is this time. W: Well, let's look at cheaper holidays then. Let's look at somewhere closer to home, right. Let's look at Europe. M: Well, there's no point in going to Europe at Christmas, is there? W: Well, you said you wanted to get away from the cold here. Well, you only want to go where it's hot and sunny? M: Yes, I want some warmth. W: Oh, I think we ought to borrow the money from your mother. M: I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Q: W: Yes, sir. May I help you? M: I have a reservation for tonight. John Durgin. W: Just a moment, please. Let me check. That's right. You have a reservation for a two-room suite for tonight.
