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.
They are students preparing for the coming college entrance exam.

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 does Mr. Henry Stone do? - A bank clerk. - A teacher. - A writer.
A writer.
