[Q]: M: No, they look so much alike that they even confused their mother sometimes when they were young. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: W: I often mistake Jim for Bob. Can you tell them apart?
input: Please answer the following: Woman: I bought it. So, what do you think of my new entertainment center? And the widescreen TV ... Man: Bought it? Woman: ... and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one. Man: But where did you get the dough to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad again, did you? Woman: Of course not. I got it with this! Man: This? Let me see that ... Have you been using Dad's credit card again? Woman: No, silly. It's mine. It's student credit card. Man: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these? Woman: I got an application in the mail. Man: Well, why did you get one in the first place? Woman: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash ... like the plane ticket I got recently. Man: What plane ticket? Woman: Oh yeah, my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break, and course, I needed some new clothes for that so ... Man: I don't want to hear it. How does having a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending ... as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump! Woman: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit ... Man: ... of $20,000? Woman: No, no quite that high. Anyway, ... Man: I've heard enough. Woman: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player ... Man: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea, but this is ridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill? Woman: Um, with my birthday money? It's coming up in a week. Man: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up... What was said before this conversation?

output: Man: Hi, Sis. I just came over to drop off the DVDs you wanted, and ... Hey, wow!? Where did you get all of this stuff?
Please answer this: W: This is the last time I'm waiting for you. I mean it. M: You know, I always have a good excuse. I promise you: you'll never have to wait for me again. W: I hope so. Come on, let's go get our tickets now. Oh, by the way, you have got your wallet with you, don't you? I left mine at home. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: M: Don't be mad at me. I'm only five minutes late.
Problem: M: Ah, not so great. W: What's wrong? M: I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course which is required for my major. W: Is that all filled up? M: No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening. W: You don't like evening classes? M: That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition. W: You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week. M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again. W: Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day. M: That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out. W: Their courses are actually cheaper. M: Thanks for your advice. I'll let you know what happens. W: Sure. Good luck! What was said before this conversation?

A: W: Hi, Kevin. How is it going?
Problem: Given the question: W: Certainly not. I'm a machine operator working in the assembly workshop. M: Oh, are you? Then you have a six-day week, don't you? W: Yes. And we work eight hours a day, but this includes a one -hour break. M: What about the huge machines used in your factory? I know you make heavy machines yourselves. But I wonder if you also use machines imported from abroad. W: Most of them are made in China, some even by our factory. Only a few were bought from other countries. M: But I see the machines turned out here are quite modem and efficient. W: Following the national policy of self - reliance and hard - working struggle, we've tried our best in the past few years to improve our equipment. However, there is still a lot more to do. M: Now the question about yourself. I hope you don't mind it. How much do you earn each month? W: My monthly wage is 3,500 RMB, not including the extra pay of about 500 for extra work I put in. M: That sounds reasonable indeed. I'm very interested in worker's welfare here. What other benefits do you workers get, I wonder? W: Like other factories in China, our factory offers free medical service for workers. What was said before this conversation?
