M: I want to go to the state park this weekend. How about you?
W: Yes, let’s sleep in our tent, and walk in the woods the next day.

W: I would hate to steer a car through traffic, picking all those businessmen up and taking them to the airport.
M: Well, that’s the only thing I do well, so what choice do I have?

M: My stomach is knotted just from looking at the ads for that movie. Please don’t make me go see it.
W: Don’t worry, I won’t. We’ll go see something that will calm you down.

W: I was completely unprepared for that surprise algebra quiz. How about you?
M: Oh, I knew most of the answers. Unlike you, I don’t put off my schoolwork until the last minute.

M: When I come home, I like to sit with the lights off.
W: Not me. I prefer an apartment with lots of windows to let the light in.

W: The weather man said we have had 16 inches of rain in the last 3 months.
M: In this month alone we’ve had 7 inches.

M: The university just hired a new president.
W: This is the fourth one in as many years.

W: I think you’re wrong. Your new hairstyle looks great.
M: At least somebody thinks so.

M: Did you enjoy your trip to Washington?
W: Especially the Capitol building.

W: I’ve been living in New York for eight years. I lived in Chicago for two, and I’ll be settling in San Diego in about a month.
M: Wow. You will have lived all over the United States.

M: It was nice of you to write that letter to your aunt.
W: Well, I try to keep in touch with her.

W: Will you explain to me what this huge mess is doing in the kitchen?
M: I tried to make dinner, but things got a little out of hand. I guess I’m not a very good cook after all.

M: Math class is canceled today; the teachers ill.
W: Not so great for the teacher, but great for me. You see, I didn’t do my homework.

W: I’d like to inquire about purchasing an apartment in your building.
M: I’d be happy to send you detailed information about all the apartments we have available, if you’ll just give me your address.

M: The company picnic will be a potluck this year, so bring something to share.
W: Will soda be all right? I don’t have time to cook.

W: What should I get, the veal or the chicken?
M: Why not get the mixed vegetables instead?

M: I think there are two quick routes to campus from here.
W: At least!

W: Do you know if Sue is interested in Tom’s old job?
M: Oh, so he is taking that position in Boston.

M: I’ve never seen such bright, wonderful paintings.
W: I know, and the marble sculpture pieces are lovely as well.

W: So stay close to your umbrellas—it’s going to rain all weekend.
M: Thanks for the forecast, and now on to today’s sports.

M: I don’t feel so good.
W: Well, lets call the infirmary and see if they can recommend a doctor for us.

W: I didn’t study and I got an F on my history exam.
M: Way to go, Mary.

M: You’ve missed so many classes you might not be eligible to take the final.
W: Well, I do have a medical excuse.

W: How about joining us for tonight’s discussion panel?
M: Don’t mind if I do.

M:How do you feel about the new Italian restaurant?
W: Well, I prefer it to the old one.

W: We have to leave soon if we’re going to make the 7:10 train.
M: The what train?!

M: I sure would like to take Kelly to the party.
W: I’ll bet you would!

W: I really have to hurry if I’m going to get to work on time.
M: Oh, then you did get a job.

M: Somehow, I’ve got to save some money next term.
W: Well, George took some classes at the community college, where tuition’s much cheaper.

W: Do you want to see the new movie tonight?
M: Thanks, but I’ve already read the book.

Questions 31 – 34 are based on the following conversation.

W: Hi. You must be Andre. I’m your neighbor, Pam.
M: Oh, hello, Pam. I didn’t know this was a coed dormitory.
W: Actually, it is. And it is the best housing on campus.
M: Have you moved in already?
W: I just got here today, but I lived here last year. I like the fact that we’re so close to campus and that we get a lot of space.
I’ll have to talk to my roommate about sharing a phone, and setting up a cleaning schedule. You will have to do that too.
M: So there’s no cleaning service here?
W: Nope. It’s just like a regular apartment building. There’s a laundry room in the basement, and a superintendent on the 190 second floor who takes care of leaky pipes, broken toilets . . .
things like that.
M: Well, I’m a little overwhelmed. When I get my clothes unpacked, I’ll ask you all kinds of questions. But right now, I’ve got to find my friends. They must be on their way up here, with my suitcases and books.

Questions 35 – 38 are based on the following conversation.
M: Mary! It’s been ages! Look at you with that tan. How are you?
W: I’m doing great. I just got back from the Bahamas and a full week of nothing but lying on the beach. And you? You don’t look so bad yourself. What have you been up to?
M: Work, work, work. I wish I could get away more often. But when you’re in investment banking, there’s never a dull moment. Alice and I are going away this weekend, though.
W: Oh, are you going to your country house? That lovely place in Nova Scotia? It’s cold there, but gorgeous.
M: Yes, that’s the place. It’s completely quiet, and with my job, that’s what I need. Do you and Fred want to join us?
W: We’d love to, but this weekend is the big soccer tournament, and our son is star goalie.
M: Good for you. You’re great parents.

Questions 39 – 42 are based on the following talk.
I hope everyone has had a good semester. I know I’ve thoroughly enjoyed teaching this class. We don’t have any political science to cover today; as you probably know from the syllabus, today is devoted to reviewing for the final examination. In a few minutes we’ll get to a question-and-answer session, but first I’d just like to give you a few hints for your studying.

First, except for the Brown and Edwards book on the American court system, you’re responsible for everything we’ve read this term. That textbook was assigned purely for background information. Of course, because we’ve had a midterm, you’ll only be tested on reading and class notes from after the spring break. Therefore, we will cover everything from legislative politics until yesterday’s lecture. The final will count as 50 percent of your grade with the midterm counting for the other 50 percent. However, I reserve the right to move your grade one way or the other based on class
participation and those biweekly summaries of the reading you’ve been handing in all semester. So don’t give up hope for a good grade if you did poorly on the midterm. There are plenty of chances to make it up. And finally, speaking of makeups—you’d better get to the exam on time because no one will be allowed in late and there won’t be any makeup scheduled.

Questions 47 through 50 are based on the following talk.
Developmental psychologists are chiefly interested in childhood and adolescence. There are four main theories of child development that are used when researching the behavior of children. First, there are the maturational theorists who believe that the physiological development of the body, especially the nervous system, is the key to developmental changes in behavior. Arnold Gesell is the leading American proponent of this theory.

Another theory, pioneered by Sigmund Freud, is called the psychoanalytic theory, and it holds that children primarily develop through a complex interaction between their own needs and their external
environment.

The third theory is the learning theory, which relies heavily on the role of reinforcement and both classical and instrumental conditioning. Learning theorists feel that in relation to patterns of reward and punishment, heredity and maturation are relatively unimportant. Lastly, cognitive theorists emphasize the role of the child’s natural motivation as the key factor in development.
They believe the child is an active, inquisitive solver of problems. Now let’s look at each of these theories in detail.
