　　Section A

　　11.

　　Man: Excuse me, do you have change for a ten-dollar note? I need to pay the parking meter.

　　Woman: I’m sorry. But I think you can get it through the money changer, in the shopping center across the street.

　　Question: What is the man trying to do?

　　12.

　　Man: Can you recommend something that a school boy of seven or eight will really like?

　　Woman: I suggest this toy train, sir. It’s an excellent brand, very popular, all over the world these days.

　　Question: What is the man doing?

　　13.

　　Woman: Do you let people know when you are taking pictures of them?

　　Man: I try not to. You know, any picture of a person who poses for the camera would look dull and unnatural.

　　Question: What are the speakers talking about?

　　14.

　　Woman: I need to talk to someone who knows Baltimore well. I’m told you lived there.

　　Man: Oh, but I was really young at the time.

　　Question: What does the man mean?

　　15.

　　Woman: Aren’t you disappointed that you didn’t get the promotion?

　　Man: Maybe a little. But I know I need more experience before I’m ready for that kind of responsibility.

　　Question: What do we learn about the man from this conversation?

　　16.

　　Woman: I’ve been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape.

　　Man: You look terrific! It seems that your effort has paid off.

　　Question: What does the man imply about the woman?

　　17.

　　Woman: Prof. Clark suggested that I get a tutor for advanced physics.

　　Man: Well, that might help. Advanced physics is a pretty difficult course.

　　Question: What does the man mean?

　　18.

　　Woman: Bill, have you heard the latest news? It appears we two won’t be laid off after all.

　　Man: Oh, I’m somewhat tired of working here. I’ve been wondering whether I should resign. Anyway, the news seems to be good for you.

　　Question: How does the man feel about the news?

　　Conversation One

　　Woman: Hello, Parkson college. May I help you?

　　Man: Yes. I’m looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester.

　　W: Do you want a day or evening course?

　　M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day.

　　W: Aha. Have you taken any courses in data processing?

　　M: No.

　　W: Oh. Well, data processing is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming.

　　M: Oh, I see. Well, when is it given? I hope it’s not on Thursdays.

　　W: Well, there’s a class that meets on Monday evenings at seven.

　　M: Just once a week?

　　W: Yes. But that’s all most three hours from seven to nine forty-five.

　　M: Oh. Well, that’s all right. I could manage that. How many weeks does the course last?

　　W: Mmmm, let me see. Twelve weeks. You start the first week in September, and finish, oh, Just before Christmas. December 21st.

　　M: And how much is the course?

　　W: That’s three hundred dollars including the necessary computer time.

　　M: Aha. Okay. Ah, where do I go to register?

　　W: Registration is on the second and third of September, between 6 and 9 in Frost Hall.

　　M: Is that the round building behind the parking lot?

　　W: Yes. That’s the one.

　　M: Oh, I know how to get there. Is there anything that I should bring with me?

　　W: No, just your check book.

　　M: Well, thank you very much.

　　W: You are very welcome. Bye!

　　M: Bye!
