Conversation 0ne

M：Well, have you had time to read the information about these eight products?

W：Yes.

M：OK. I suggest we consider the market first. Do any of these products have any chance of success in China?

W：Well, the price seems high for all the products.

M：I agree. However, I think that some of these products would appeal to certain sections of the community.

W：--- If they were marketed properly.

M：Of course, that goes without saying!

W：Well, which products did you have in mind?

M：Er…well, at first I thought that the mobile phone -- the Nokia -- looks attractive, and would be seen as something of a status symbol for senior business executives.

W：Status symbol? Who wants a status symbol!

M：I think we all know that there are people like that around these days.

W：Yes. But look at the competition! China produces so many different kinds of mobile phones already. And there are network problems for foreign mobile phones.

M：Exactly! So I felt that the mobile phone might be a mistake. So my first choice would be the camera.

W：Don‘t you think that the camera seems expensive, too?

M：Well, it certainly isn‘t cheap, but I think that there are lots of small businesses around that would find it very useful.

W：That may be true, but we would need to verify that with some market research. M：That‘s a good point.

M：Good morning!

W：Please sit down. I hope that you have managed to settle in now.

M：Yes, thank you. I wonder if I could possibly ask for your advice.

W：Certainly! What can I do for you?

M：Well, I‘m having some difficulty in locating some of the material I need.

W：Have you looked at the computer database in the library? You should be able to find what you need there.

M：That is true. However, a great deal of material is out on loan. Even if it is confined to the library, I don‘t really have time to look at it.

W：Yes, I know what you mean. Look, if I were you I‘d explore the web. Go to the computer center you‘ll find that‘s by far the best way of accessing really up-to-date material.

M：Really? Can you recommend any website?

W：Well，there is a very good website , which deals with almost all the subjects. It will help you easily find just the material you want．

M：Thank you. I'll definitely explore this site. Do you think that I still need some specific written material?

W：Yes, you should look at those specialist journals which may be most useful to you in your field.

M：Thank you very much indeed. You‘ve been most helpful. I am very grateful.

Conversation 0ne

M：Good afternoon, Linda.

W：Good afternoon, Ken. What brings you here?

M：Well, I just sent my car to the garage so I thought I‘d better pop by to say hi，since I‘m in the neighborhood．

W：What happened to your car? Didn‘t you just get it fixed last week?

M：I did But this time it‘s something else. The filter needs to be changed and the brakes keep making squeaky noises, whenever I tap them.

W：I used to have that problem and it worried me every time I stepped on the brakes. I thought I was going to go off the road or something until I took care of it with a few tools

M：I just received an estimate and it‘s going to cost me$200 for parts and labor．I hope that‘s the end of it, because I can‘t afford to have more work done to it again.

W：I guess you must regret buying such a lemon. Didn‘t you buy it three months ago? M：It‘s embarrassing. I was only looking at the exterior and neglected the engine, which should be the priority when it comes to second-hand vehicles.

W：Exactly. But that‘s what you chose at that time.

M：I even thought I had bargained like a pro, since I got it for next to nothing. Now l think maybe I'd have been better off with nothing. What a headache, I tell you!

W：Well, just think of it this way. You paid for your lesson on your car.

M：You are right. But I think it is a costly one and I‘m not going to make the same mistake again. W：Don‘t worry. Perhaps it‘s not as bad as you think. Maybe you just need a little mechanical help from your more mechanically inclined friends--like me.

Questions：

1．In what circumstance do the man and woman meet?

2．What happens to the man‘s car?

3．How much is the cost of fixing the car?

4．What should be the priority when buying a second-hand vehicle according to the man? Conversation Two

W：It‘s good to see you back! How was your trip to Canada? You went to the Rockies, didn‘t you? M：Well, word does get around, doesn‘t it? Yeah, it was great. The place has a kind of ―European-Alps village‖ charm to it, but at the same time it has some great day hikes. Want to see some pictures?

W：Sure. I see what you mean the background mountains are quite something. Wait…don‘t tell me you actually went on the cable car ride. That‘s quite a height! I thought you said these things frightened the daylights out of you and … here you are.

M：Yeah, what‘s interesting about this canyon is that it was basically the result of the Ice Age retreat in a small stream eating its way for many years down a valley. That glacier is something else.

W：I still don‘t understand why it doesn‘t melt during the summer. It can‘t be that cold.

M：Well, we are up about 5,500 feet there, but glaciers by nature melt only about a few inches a year. The density of the sheets is the main reason. Besides that, they are protected by a wall of cliffs.

W：I wonder why a slab doesn‘t just break off and slide right down into the lake below. M：Oh, it will one day, but long after we are dead and gone.

W：But how can you tell a glacier apart from a normal ice sheet? I mean, I‘ve seen pictures of avalanches coming down the side of a mountain, and they look like they‘re rolling down glaciers. M：I have no idea how to distinguish them except that a glacier seems to have a larger surface area and looks much smoother.

Questions：

5．What do we know about the man from the conversation?

6．Will a slab break off from the glacier and slide right down into the lake below?

7．What are the differences between a glacier and an ice sheet according to the man?

M：Oh, I'm sorry about that. I hadn‘t been back to my apartment for two weeks and in fact, I just got back today. It must be Jimmy, my new roommate. I forgot to tell him how thin the walls are around here, so it may be my fault.

W：I realize that. Could you have a word with that guy Jimmy and get him to lower the volume, for it is really disturbing. It‘s not that I don‘t enjoy that kind of music. It‘s just … well you know how it is around this time of the year with midterms and everything.

M：No problem. And I tell you that I won‘t even mention that it was you who complained.

W：Well, Mike, I appreciate it, but I‘m afraid that this is not the only issue I have to bring up. Jimmy is also taking up two parking spaces in the parking lot. As you know, we are kind of short off parking spaces here.

M：Really. I didn‘t know that! That‘s selfish of him to do so. Well, Sherry, I will give him a piece of my mind tonight.

W：I just hope you can settle things peacefully. I don‘t want to be the villain causing you guys to have a stir up.

M：Oh, don‘t worry. Yeah, it‘s not like it‘s the most pleasant thing to do and it's not what I want to do but I want to set the rules clear.

Conversation 0ne

W：Excuse me. May I have a look at that blouse?

M：Certainly!

W：It's beautiful.

M：I can see that you have very good taste, ma‘am! It really suits you!

W：Thanks, but it‘s not for me. It‘s for a friend. She asked me to buy one for her. What are you asking for this?

M：Well, madam, you‘re very lucky because we have a special offer on, for this week only! That blouse is normally 60 dollars, but we are offering a 10 percent discount!

W：Oh dear! That‘s still more than 50 dollars, and she asked me to spend only 40.

M：I see. Well, ma‘am, just look at the quality of the silk!

W：It's very nice, but I think your prices generally seem very high. Look, I can get a blouse like this at half the price through the Internet.

M：But not of this quality, madam.

W：I tell you what. I'm in a bit of hurry, so why don‘t we split the difference? You‘re asking for 54 dollars, and my friend‘s price is 40. Let‘s settle on 47 !

M：I'm sorry, but would you produce some other proof of identity? I‘m afraid this photograph doesn‘t look much like you!

W：Are you kidding? It‘s me! Well, I suppose I must look older--that photo is four years old. I don‘t know…Would my credit card do?

M：Not really! I need proof of your identity with a photograph.

W：Wait a minute! I have got a reader‘s card from the British Library in London! That has a photo. And it‘s only about 18 months old.

M：That might do. Yes, that seems to be in order. So what‘s the purpose of your visit, Ms Chen? W：I‘m on holiday. I came to see a friend on my way back to China.

M：Where have you just come from?

W：The UK via Singapore.

M：I see you have a tourist visa. How long do you intend to stay?

W：A week!

M：Do you have an onward ticket?

W：Yes, I have this ticket to Beijing.

W：I‘ve just opened the suggestions box, and I wanted to have a word with you about some of the suggestions.

W：Afraid so.

M：Well, we can‘t replace it. But it might be a good idea to get a better cover so that it isn‘t as noisy?

W：OK, I‘ll investigate. Right, the next one is about flexible work time. Don‘t you think we should consider it? Most of the other companies in South town have already introduced it.

M：I‘m afraid the Managing Director has already said no to that one, and I agree with him for the

moment, I think we should look at it again next year.

W：Fine. And finally, there‘s a suggestion about reorganizing the furniture in the main office. The secretaries all say that they are very cramped. Don‘t you think we should do something about it? M：Yes, absolutely! It's been on my mind for quite a while. I suggest that we have a word with Christine Adams, the Office Manager, and see what can be done?

W：OK.

M：What kind of videos do you prefer to watch? Have a look at this list.

W：Well, I love anything that makes me laugh. I just love to hear jokes and funny punch lines. M：Anything else?

W：I‘m not very keen on westerns, although my father likes them, but I'm a real softie, so anything with a bit of a love story is good for me. It doesn‘t matter how old it is. No musicals though；they‘re too much!

M：Then how about documentaries?

W：Well, I‘m completely taken by documentaries of the great outdoors, you know the sort, animal, plants and far away places. I saw a wonderful one on dolphins last week. It was anlazmg!

M：Now. I think that‘s all from me, except I need you to sign here on the line. Here‘s a pen. The membership fee is$25, refundable if you leave the library for any reason.

M： No, I changed my mind and opted for history instead. And you‘re doing biology, if I remember correctly.

W：Yes, although to start I couldn't decide between that and geology.

M：How much reading have you got? I was given an amazingly long list of books to read. See! W：Wow, it does look pretty long.

M：I counted 57. I could hardly believe it! What‘s your list like?

W：Well, it‘s not as long as yours, but it‘s stilt pretty big. There are 43. I don‘t know how I‘m going to get through them a11.

M：What! Are you allowed to?

W：Sure. Lots of people do it nowadays. It means you can listen to the lectures all over again, and

make really good notes.

M：I couldn‘t do that. I like to take notes as I‘m listening. I usually find I get all the important points.

W：It seems you carefully listen to the lecture. But how about reading?

M：Well, reading is different of course. My approach is to skim the book first to see what is important and what isn‘t. It saves hours of time.

W：But what if you miss something?

M：You don‘t mean you‘re going to read every word, do you?

W：Well, that‘s what I usually do.

M：Well, that‘s up to you, but I think you‘re crazy.

W：What is your first 1ecture on, anyway?

W：Now, this is just a short preliminary interview. I‘d like to talk about your present job and what you‘ve done up till now.

M：Yes, of course.

W：Well, could you tell me how long you‘ve had your present position in Evening News? It is Evening News, isn‘t it?

M：Yes, that‘s right. Let‘s see I left university in 1992. Then I was unemployed for about two months. And then I traveled round Britain for a few weeks. So it must be more than three years now in fact.

W：Yes. And have you any particular reason for wanting to change jobs? I mean why do you want to move?

M：Well, I actually like my present job and still find it interesting. The salary‘s OK. So it‘s nothing

to do with money，though you can always do with more. My colleagues are quite nice and the working conditions are great. I suppose the thing is that I‘m really very ambitious and keen to get promoted, so that‘s the real reason.
