Q: Dialogue: M: What do you think of Professor Potter's course, Jane? W: Not much. M: Why, what's wrong with it? W: Oh, I don't know. It's just that he overloads it with details. The course he gave on town planning last year, it was just the same-a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway. There was no overall ... M: No general overview you mean? W: Yes. I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings. M: But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed. W: Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details. M: Now you're exaggerating. W: Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose. M: You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good. W: Do you really think so? M: He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is. He starts off being nice and general and then tries to cram in a bit too much specialized information. W: The main thing I object to is the lack of direction. Question: Which of the following is true about Potter? - He is a postgraduate. - He is qualified for teaching postgraduates. - He is an expert in town planning.
A: He is qualified for teaching postgraduates.

Q: Dialogue: M: Did you watch the TV special about barnacles last night? W: No, I missed it. What did you learn about them? M: That they glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in the same place forever. W: Right, have you ever tried removing one of those things? It would be easier to chip the rock away than to get the barnacles off. M: Exactly, and that's why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacles glue is made of. It's considered one of the strongest adhesives in nature. W: And it would have the advantage of being able to work on wet surfaces too. M: Precisely, and because it's natural protein, it probably wouldn't be harmful to people like so many synthetic glues in use today. W: Think of all the ways doctors and dentists could use such a glue, mending broken bones, fasting false teeth. M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly how the glue is made, so that people can make use of it. Question: What's the topic about the dialogue? - Glue. - Barnacles. - Protein.
A: Barnacles.

Do you have any classes right after you finish? W: No, I don't have to go to class until 11:00. How about you? M: No, I don't have to go to class until 10:00. I usually go out for breakfast after I swim. Would you like to join me today? W: Sure, that sounds like fun. Let me finish and I'll meet you outside the locker room. M: OK, see you then.
