M: Sorry. I’ve been home since I came back from the office and the phone never rang once.

Q: where does the conversation probably take place?

2 M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack kilby as an example. W: right. Jack kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. It’s very surprising.

Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?

3 W: I don’t quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.

Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s film?

4 W: what’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?

M: Let’s see. The computer, the car, the phone? No, I think it’s the light bulb. This invention has changed the world more than anything else. Q: Which invention does the man think changed the world most?

Q: What does the man say about music?

4 M : I ‘m taking the minimum credits to graduate. Making friends, traveling , partying –these are what matter most to me right now.

W: I sure did! I was so excited seeing them again. Everyone had interesting experiences, exciting jobs and a happy family.

Q: what are the speakers talking about?

5 w: I had a quarrel with my roommate. Every night she stays up very late. I can’t fall asleep when she is around making noises in the room.

M: I’m so sorry to hear that. Like you, I ‘m an early bird, too. It’s hard to share a room with a night owl.

Q: What does the man mean?

Unit 4

1 M: Would you like to share a taxi with me to the airport? We can save money that way .

W: Actually, I’m not flying. I’m going to the conference by train. I was thinking of driving, but it will be too tiring.

Q: How is the woman going to travel?

2 w: I have to catch the 10:45 train. I think I’d better get to the station by half past 10.

Q: According to the man, at what time could the woman arrive at the station?

3 M: Did you say I should take the NO. 46 bus to your house? Because I remember going there once on the No.28.

Q: What does the woman say about the bus services?

Q: What does the man mean?
