[00:06.76]Directions: In this section,
[00:10.81]you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
[00:15.23]At the end of each conversation,
[00:17.86]one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
[00:21.47]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
[00:26.28]After each question there will be a pause.
[00:29.56]During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
[00:36.34]and decide which is the best answer.
[00:38.97]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
[00:44.00]with a single line through the centre.
[00:46.51]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[00:51.21]1. M: Hey, Mary, some of us in the Outdoor Club are going camping this weekend.
[00:58.22]If you are interested, you can come along, too!
[01:01.29]W: I'd love it! But...not if you climb mountains, for I'm scared stiff of heights.
[01:07.52]Q: What is the woman's reaction to the man's invitation?
[01:26.33]2. W: You must have enjoyed using your new camera on your trip.
[01:32.02]M: I would have, but I left it in the car with my friend who drove me to the airport.
[01:37.27]Q: What does the man say about his camera?
[01:55.53]3. M: Would you like to join us for a ride around the seaside?
[02:01.33]W: What a pleasant way to spend a hot day!
[02:04.06]Q: What does the woman imply?
[02:20.39]4. W: I'm going to the zoo to do some drawings of elephants today.
[02:28.04]M: May I go with you? I have the same assignment.
[02:31.33]Q: What do we learn about the man and the woman from the conversation?
[02:50.20]5. W: I thought Paul might help me to figure out the computer program.
[02:56.76]M: Paul is about the last person I'd ask if I were you.
[03:01.14]Q: What does the man imply about Paul?
[03:19.31]6. M: Martin certainly shows great enthusiasm for the tennis course.
[03:25.00]W: If only he showed as much for his studies.
[03:28.72]Q: What does the woman imply about Martin?
[03:47.52]7. W: This TV set is not working properly. I suppose we should buy a new one,
[03:54.74]but I don't see how we can afford it right now.
[03:57.81]M: If only we hadn't bought the car.
[04:00.32]Q: Why didn't they buy another TV set?
[04:19.44]8. W: Hey, John, do you want to come shopping with me?
[04:24.03]My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.
[04:28.73]M: That sounds just like you. Can't you save a few pennies for a rainy day?
[04:34.52]Q: What do we know about the woman?
[04:52.19]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[04:55.45]Conversation One
[04:57.09]W: Mr. Kim. Lots of people are suffering from being unable to sleep, including me.
[05:03.58]M: Well, you must be feeling bad, twisting around,
[05:06.75]trying to find a comfortable position, but you're probably only making matters worse.
[05:12.00]W: Really, I thought changing positions would help.
[05:15.83]M: That's not right. What happens is that your heart rate actually increases,
[05:20.39]making it more difficult to relax.
[05:22.36]You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem.
[05:26.74]W: Really? Like what?
[05:28.48]M: Do you rest frequently during the day? Do you get virtually no exercise,
[05:33.40]or do you exercise too much late in the day?
[05:36.47]Do you think about sleep a lot or sleep late on weekends?
[05:40.52]W: You're talking about me! I'm leading a life like that.
[05:44.56]I guess lots of people do like this.
[05:47.40]M: Haha! Any of these facts might be leading to your insomnia
[05:51.89]by disrupting your body's natural rhythm.
[05:54.29]W: What should we do then on those sleepless nights?
[05:57.79]Should we take some sleeping pills?
[05:59.76]M: Don't bother with sleeping pills;
[06:01.84]they can actually cause worse insomnia later.
[06:04.69]W: I thought sleeping pills would help.
