Shall we try one more physics problem?

I’d rather not.

I’m fed up.

Will I need to have this tooth pulled?

I don’t think so.

Let’s try filling it first.

John really enjoys old movies.

So does Bill.

We’ll have to hurry if we want to finish this project on time.

I’ll say we will!

I should keep working, but I don’t feel like it.

Why don’t you take a breather?

Excuse me. I’m trying to find the library.

Look no further!

Are you going to be working in the garage long?

Until I can finish fixing this lawn mower.

Well, what do you think?

You really got a short haircut and a tight curl, didn’t you?

Charles still has two more chapters of his thesis to write!

Yes. But they’re just summaries of the others, aren’t they?

Can you tell me where I might borrow a typewriter?

The library has some.

You can use one there.

If you don’t want to go to the party, you shouldn’t feel obligated to.

Oh. well. I don’t mind going for a little while.

Did you get the car you wanted?

No. Someone beat me to it.

You wouldn’t be interested in two tickets to tonight’s concert, would you?

Not much, I wouldn’t!

I was pretty taken aback at Dan’s reaction to our proposal!

Me. too.

And I thought some of his comments were really out of line.

Sorry. This seat is already taken.

Oops. I didn’t realize anyone was sitting there.

Brad is planning on buying a new stereo system.

Hmm. I thought he said he had run out of money.

Has anyone notified Susan of the meeting?

Don’t look at me!

I understand you’ve been offered that position you applied for.

Congratulations!

What position is that?

 I haven’t started looking for jobs yet.

Are you sure you’re ready for the test tomorrow?

I’d better read through my notes one more time.

I think we’re all going to have a great time at the class picnic!

I’m not so sure. There’s rain in the weather forecast.

Could I get my tape player back?

I just bought a new cassette, and I’d like to try it out.

I’m not exactly sure how to break this to you but I can’t seem to find it.

I just got a call from Lance.

He wants us to be there at 4:00.

You must be kidding.

I can’t make it by then!

I’m hoping to go to Ted’s graduation on Friday.

But you have to work that day. Don’t you?

What’s going on around here?

It seems like every time I open my refrigerator, it’s empty again!

Well, uh until Joe and Frank find a place to live. They’re eating here.

Do you know where Anne is?

We were supposed to meet here.

Well, her coat is here on her desk.

How did your linguistics discussion go?

I thought the group would get bored, but we went overtime!

I can’t remember when my finial lab report did

The 15th. But we shouldn’t put it off until the last minute.

Did you enjoy Gary’s presentation?

I couldn’t figure out what he was getting at.

The new theater downtown really has a lot to offer.

 Especially to opera lovers.

Questions  31 through 34. Listen to friends talk about the colors of trees in the fall.

I just heard something interesting on the public radio station. Do you know why the leaves on trees turn so many different colors in the fall?

I think so. When they die, they dry out and turn brown. Or frost and cold turn them other, brighter colors.

 Well, not exactly. Actually, the autumn leaf color that paints our countryside isn’t the result of a loss of pigment, but of an uncovering of underlying true colors of the leaves.

What do you mean by that?

Well, during the summer, tree leaves produce chlorophyll, which is green. But they also actively produce other pigments. Then, in the fall. when chlorophyll production stops. The green color breaks down and the other pigments produced in the leaves are uncovered.

Amazing.

Well. What causes some trees to have red leaves then. And some to have yellow or brown, or orange.

Different chemical pigments. For example, carotene—the same pigment found in carrots- creates the orange color in some species. Anthocyanins produce the bright red we see in sugar maples, and so on.

Hmm. So the mystery of autumn leaf color really isn’t a mystery at all.

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

Hello. Tom Watson here.

Hello. Tom! This is Suzanne. I’m calling to let you know that you can pick your grades up at the registrar’s office today if you want to. I just got mine. And, I got all As this semester! I’m going to graduate with honors!

That’s great, Suzanne. At least you’re graduating.

What? Aren’t you graduating with me this spring? | thought that you and I were going to celebrate together after the graduation ceremony!

I had thought so, too. But, I found out today that I don’t have enough credits to graduate this spring after all.

Are you kidding me? What’s going on?

Well, the registrar says that I have to come back this summer and take one more course.

You missed it by one course? I can’t believe it!

You see, in the old catalog this course in history would have counted twice—once for my major and once as a humanities core course. But, in this new catalog, this same course only counts once.

Did you tell the registrar which year you started college? Your graduation requirements are those listed in the catalog published the year you entered the college. You and I both entered this college in 1990; therefore, we follow the guidelines in the 1990 catalog.

That’s the older one you were talking about. I don’t think you need to worry about the requirements in the newer catalog.

Really! If so, then I can graduate!

Have you talked to your advisor about this?

I should go sign up for an appointment with her right now! Thanks for everything! Maybe I’ll see you at the graduation party after all!

I sure hope so. Bye for now, and good luck!

Questions 39 through 42. Listen to part of a lecture given by a business professor.

Well, I guess that’s it for today’s discussion on advertising as an important aspect of marketing. Next week, I’d like to move away from marketing and into distribution—that is, the chain of movement of goods from their sources, often factories, to their final destinations—us—the consumers. For that discussion, you’ll need to read chapter five in your text. Make sure you read it carefully. We may have a short quiz on it at the beginning of our next class.

As you are reading chapter five, pay careful attention to the differences and similarities between wholesalers and retailers. They are the most important middlemen in the chain of distribution of goods and services and it’s crucial for you to understand the roles they play in getting goods from factories to consumers.

Oh, and one last thing. Don’t forget to leave today’s homework on my desk as you leave the classroom.

I’ll take a look at it this week and get it back to you at our next class meeting.

Questions 43 through 46. Listen to a talk given by a museum guide.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m Sam Connor, and I’ll be your guide through the first wing of the exhibits this morning. Before we start out, let me give you some orientation to the museum itself.

First of all, we have the central gallery, which is used for special exhibitions that change frequently. Then, to our right is the entrance to the art gallery, which also contains the museum research library. This library is available for extensive research assistance for our patrons by appointment. To our left is the firearms museum, which you can see is still partially under construction and unfortunately not open for our visit this morning. Directly ahead, through the garden area, is the Indian museum, of which we are extremely proud. We are thought to have the most complete collection of Indian art and artifacts in this part of the United States. The youngsters will surely enjoy the tipi hall, a replica of an 1890 Sioux camp. You may enter the tip is, but do not touch the exhibits.

I’m sorry to announce that there will be a brief delay in our tour. Due to the many school visits at this time of year. Please visit our gift shop or stroll through the sculpture garden while we are waiting. The tour should begin in fifteen minutes.

Questions 47 through 50. Listen to a radio talk about safety procedures during a storm.

Nearly everyone knows that during a storm, one should not seek shelter under a tree. Tall trees actually attract lightning. The tree is a poor conductor of electricity, and its resistance can force part of the current to flash out at any person or object near it. On the other hand, steel buildings, trains, and automobiles provide good paths to the ground for the electricity, and are well insulated. They usually provide safe shelters during an electrical storm.

Fishermen and those engaged in water sports should head for land when a storm approaches. Boats are common targets for lightning, and round flashes of lightning which look like fire are sometimes seen around ships, airplanes, steeple clocks and tall trees.

Because lightning occurs so frequently, outdoorsmen especially should know the following safety rules:

 Rule number one: during a storm, get indoors if at all possible; rule number two: never stay on a bicycle or horse or hold a metal object such as a fishing rod, shovel, or golf club in your hand; rule number three. If you are caught outdoors, lie down or stay on low ground or in a ditch if possible; and rule number four—stay away from a body of water and, if you are swimming, get out of the water immediately.
