John and his brother seem to have a lot to talk about.

Well, they haven’t seen each other for quite a while.

What does the man imply about John and his brother?

I’m tired of sitting at home.

How about a movie?

Sure, why not?

What does the woman mean?

Is it better to take the bus to Chicago or to go by plane?

The bus is a lot cheaper, but it takes at least twice as long.

What does the woman mean?

The red one looks better on you than the striped one does.

But the collar on the red one is too big, and the sleeves are too long.

 Where does this conversation most probably take place?

I heard Ted ended up in the emergency room this morning.

Is everything OK?

He’s being kept overnight for observation.

What does the woman imply?

Let’s practice that dance routine some more,

Ann, and see if we can get it right this time.

Again! We’ve already tried it six times!

What does Ann mean?

That seafood restaurant we went to last night is the best in town!

Isn’t it, though!

What does the man think about the restaurant?

Do you want to go to the party?

Well, it doesn’t start until 8:00, and I have to get up early tomorrow.

What does the man imply?

Kate wants us to pick her up at the airport at 10:30.

Oh, so she did make her connecting flight in Boston.

What had the man assumed about Kate?

I had to wait fifty minutes to see the doctor.

I could have told you that would happen!

What does the woman mean?

Number 11

I have to turn my paper in late.

I hope Professor Smith won’t be too unhappy.

Well, this is the first time you’ve ever had to ask

for an extension, so I don’t expect she’ll be too hard on you.

What does the man think Professor Smith will probably do?

Ray certainly has been late for class a lot this semester!

That’s not like him!

What do we learn from this conversation?

My history term paper has to be typed.

Shouldn’t you type your English paper, too?

What does the man suggest?

Do you mind if I use your phone?

John’s calling his mother right now.

What can be inferred from the woman’s response?

Did you hear Jane’s presentation last night?

How she can be so calm in front of such a large audience is beyond me!

What does the woman imply?

I think I’ll sign up for the Biology 101 class next semester.

Biology 101?

You haven’t heard what students are saying about it, have you!

What does the woman imply?

I think I’ll get Alice a pair of gold earrings for graduation.

Are you sure she wants earrings?

What does the man imply about Alice?

Say! This dinner is great!

When did you have time to prepare all of this food?

|didn’t. I had it delivered.

What does the woman say about the food?

Jane’s new job has become more than she can handle.

I’m sorry to hear about that.

I hope it works out for her.

What does the man mean?

Joe really seems happy today.

He’s quite pleased with the bargain he got on his new car.

What does the man mean?

I’d like to talk to you about the repairs you made to my television.

It still isn’t fixed.

I’d be glad to look at it again if you can bring it back in.

What does the man mean?

I’ve got to miss class on Thursday.

Can you take notes for me?

Sure. I’ll be there for the whole lecture.

What does the man agree to do for the woman?

Linda is sure doing well in her science class!

She’d better be.

I’ve been tutoring her every day!

What does the man mean?

Could you please shut the door?

It’s drafty in here.

It feels stuffy to me.

What does the man mean?

Todd told me he was going to find his own apartment.

But. he’s looked at several nice ones in his price range, and he still hasn’t decided to move.

What can be inferred about Todd?

Did you have any luck booking a ticket?

The travel agency was closed.

I’ll have to go back tomorrow.

What does the woman imply?

You must have eaten halfa dozen pieces of pizza already!

‘O Well

I’ve only had a couple, actually, but I guess two’s probably enough.

What does the man imply?

You must have eaten halfa dozen pieces of pizza already!

‘O Well

I’ve only had a couple, actually, but I guess two’s probably enough.

What does the man imply?

I’m going to buy a tape of jazz music this afternoon.

Not another one!

What does the man imply?

Didn’t Ijust see Elizabeth?

I thought she said she’d be out of town this week!

Oh. no. That was last week.

What does the woman imply?

Questions 31 through 34. Listen to two friends on a hiking trip.

I can’t believe that we climbed Blue Mountain in only two hours! Look! You can see half of Star Lake from up here! The only thing that puts a damper on this view is the bugs. They are swarming around me! It must be those tiny little black flies.

Wait! Don’t move! “‘0 You have a beautiful butterfly on your back! An orange and black one.

A butterfly? Are you sure it isn’t just a moth?

No. it’s a butterfly. Butterflies have rounded antennae and, when they are sitting still. their wings are outspread. Moths are different. They have fine|y—pointed antennae, and they fold their wings more tightly against their backs.

When did you become such a nature watcher? Just get it off of me so that I can move! The black flies are starting to bite me! Hang on just a second. I want to take a picture of this butterfly before it gets away. You know. You are lucky that it isn’t a caterpillar. If it were, it could tickle slightly or even give you a rash! Though, if you think about it, this butterfly once used to be a caterpillar.

I remember this from grade school. Metamorphosis, right? After the caterpillar hatches from the egg, it goes through two more developments before becoming an adu|t—the larva and the pupa stages.

That’s right. In the larva stage, the caterpillar attaches itself to a branch by spinning silk from its head. In the pupa stage. it lives in a cocoon and develops into an adult butterfly like this one.

Right. Pretty incredible when you think about it. But, the view up here is incredible. too. Let’s get going.

Is the butterfly gone yet?

Uh. oh, yeah. There it goes. See?

Questions 35 through 38. Listen to a telephone conversation between two students.

Jones residence. ‘O Mary speaking.

Hello. Mary! This is Ted. Ijust called to see what you’re up to. You weren’t in English class today. You almost never skip class. Didn’t you hear your alarm?

Actually, I needed to go to a doctor’s appointment.

Oh. I’m sorry. What’s wrong?

It’s not serious. They said that I have anemia. It’s actually quite common among women.

Isn’t that a condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells?

That’s it—and it means that I have to eat more foods high in iron—|ike beef liver and spinach. Some cereals are iron—fortified as well.

Yuck! Can’t theyjust give you some pills?

The doctor did give me iron pills to take every day. and those should help. too. “‘0 They’ll check my blood eight weeks from now to see how well I’m responding to the treatment.

Until then you’ll have to eat lots of cold cerea|—|ike Cheerios?

Iguess so. I need to have 18 milligrams of iron a day. Even though I hate cereal. I guess I’ll have to stomach it.

 I do hope that you feel better soon. Oh! I almost forgot! I was supposed to give you some handouts from

Professor Smith. Would you like me to drop them off at your place?

Thanks! I’d appreciate that. Did we have any homework?

We’re supposed to read Milton’s Paradise Lost up to page 245 and write a short reaction to it in our journals.

OK! I better get going to read up! ‘0 See you next class!

Questions 39 through 42. Listen to the following talk given by a pet store owner.

Once you have decided to share your life with one of our cats, you must decide whether you want an alley cat or a pedigreed cat. Let me explain what those terms mean. An alley cat is one with no special breeding, or ancestry. It is iust a common cat,

whose parents are of mixed background. This type of cat, unfortunately, often goes homeless and has to hunt for food in the garbage cans found in a||eys—and that’s how it got its name. A pedigreed cat, on the other hand, is a purebred feline whose ancestry has

 been recorded and whose history can be traced back several generations. We sell both kinds of cats here, our pedigreed cats, of course, being the more expensive of the two types. But, both types of cats can turn out to be perfect pets.

Questions 43 through 47. Listen to the following remarks from a history lecture.

I spoke yesterday about the construction of ancient Viking ships. Today I’d like to discuss the transocean voyages that the Norse made in these open boats—voyages made without compasses or charts. Somehow the Vikings managed to get across the North

Atlantic and back home again. Although the shortest distance between the coast of Norway and Greenland is about 900 miles, the Vikings preferred to take a longer route south of Iceland and thereby avoid pack—ice. This was a voyage of well over 1 miles.

 How did Norse sailors find land after days of sailing out of sight of land? Well, experienced sailors used the relative position ofthe stars to help them navigate. The sun’s position could also be noted, but it moves across the sky, and its position alters a little every day, so it was not easy for the Vikings to use. However, even when out of sight of land, an experienced sailor could find information. As there are landmarks on land. so there are at sea. Whales gathered in large numbers to feed at an area half a day’s sail south of Iceland. Migrating birds on their annual flight were also helpful because they always followed the same route. So, geese flying between Britain and Iceland were of particular use to the Vikings. One Icelander also took ravens with him, releasing them until one day they didn’t return. He followed their direction and found land. In 900 A.D.. ingenuity had to take the place of technology.

Questions 48 through 50. Listen to a talk given in a nutrition course.

Now, if I remember correctly, last class we spoke about gardening and how to get the best nutritional value out of it. You all gave me excellent suggestions in your iournals, and I have made comments in theme too. I will give your iournals back to you at the end of class today.

In your iou rnalse you mentioned how the design ofthe garden and the timing of the harvest are very important. Today let’s look more closely at the vegetables that we are going to plant in the garden. For example, green snap beans are known to contain twice as much vitamin A as does the yellow variety. Actually. soybeans. which I know that some of you have already indicated a distaste for. are far better for you than both green and yellow beans. Soybeans are a very rich source of Vitamin A, and they contain 10 percent vegetable protein as well.

For those who are not bean lovers, there is still hope. I would suggest cauliflower. broccoli. And cabbage to you. Broccoli is better than cauliflower in that it contains forty times more Vitamin A and has more Vitamin B and C. too. Finally. small cabbages are rich in precious Vitamin C. Vitamin C, by the way, is a great agent against disease and stress. I know that you are all preparing for final exams and stress is a factor for you these days, so I thought that I might mention that.
