A: M: Mom, "the voice of China" is on this evening.
Question: W: Twenty minutes already. M: Did you notice whether the No. 7 bus has passed by? W: Not while I've been standing here. I'm also waiting for the No. 7 bus myself. M: Good. Hot today, isn't it? W: Yes, it is. I wish that it would rain and cool off. M: Me, too. This is unusual for March. I don't remember it ever being so hot and dry in March before. W: My mother and I have just moved here from Indiana. It is pretty cold there. M: Yes, I've heard of that. W: Do you think we've missed the has? M: Take it easy. It never comes exactly on the half hour like it should. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: M: Excuse me. Have you been waiting long?
[Q]: 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: M: Excuse me, Madam. My fight is BA6520. Is this my gate?
Please answer this: M: Yes, nurse, I think so. I followed the hospital's advice, and I've only brought a few belongings with me. W: Good, you can see the reasons why we ask you to do that, the cupboard is really very small. M: Yes, of course. They are only afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00, but remember that only two people can see you at the same time. M: I see. What other rules are there? W: Yes. We start pretty early. We wake you at 6 o'clock and breakfast is at 8 o'clock, lunch is at noon, there is tea at 3:30 and supper at 6 o'clock. M: Oh, that's very different from what I have been used to. You'd better tell me the rest of the rules here. W: Yes. Well, you can see the no smoking sign, we don't allow smoking in the wards, and the same goes for alcohol. However, if you do need to smoke, there are special lounges. M: Oh, I don't smoke, so it doesn't affect me. W: Good. What was said before this conversation?

Question: W: Don't ask me. M: What do you mean? Did something go wrong? W: Susan thought I had said I would meet her at the Department Store at 2:30 when I really said 2 o'clock. Then she thought I had said the main entrance in the front when I really said the east entrance. M: Well, did you ever get together? W: Yes, but it's a wonder that we did. I had given up waiting and had gone inside to the women's clothing department. She had done the same thing. We met by accident. By that time it was 3 o'clock. M: Did you get what you wanted? I remember you said you wanted to get a sweater. W: No, a blouse. But by that time, the ones on sales were all gone. So I settled for a skirt. What was said before this conversation?
