11. M: Good news! I'm not going to have surgery after all.
The doctor says I can start working out again soon
and maybe play football like before in a few weeks.
W: That's terrific. It will be great
if you could get back in shape in time for the World Cup.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
12. M: I really need to make some extra money.
You know, I've practically spent my entire budget for this semester.
W: Why not check out the new cafeteria at Market Street?
I think there are still a few openings suitable for seniors like you.
W: What does the woman suggest the man do?
13. M: I hear John left his cat in your care while he's on vacation abroad.
How are you getting along with it?
W: Well, it never comes when I call it.
It spills its food and sheds all over the place.
I can't wait till John gets back.
Q: How does the woman find the cat?
14. W: Hello, Professor White, I got my grade in the mail this morning,
but I think there might be a mistake in my mark.
M: Yeah, I've got several calls just like yours.
There must be a problem with the computing system.
It should be straightened out in a couple of hours.
Q: What does the man mean?
15. M: Professor Johnson, last night
when I was putting the finishing touches on my paper,
a computer failure completely wiped out my files.
Do you think I could have another day to retype it?
W: I'm sorry Rod. I'm leaving for a conference tomorrow
and I'll be away two weeks. I suppose you could send me an e-copy.
Q: Why does the man say he can't submit his assignment on time?
16. W: I just called the travel agency. It's all set.
On June 1st, we are heading for the mountains,
and we'll be camping there for a whole week.
M: Have you checked the academic calendar?
My classes aren't over until the 8th.
Q: What does the man imply?
17. W: I thought there were still time for me to apply
for a student loan, but someone just told me
that the closing date was last Tuesday.
M: Are you sure? I thought we still had another month.
Wait, I got a brochure right here.
Last Tuesday was the opening date.
Q: What does the man imply?
18. W: Look at all the pollutants going into the air
from those factories.
Do you think they'll ever get that under control?
M: Now with the new laws in effect and social awareness increasing,
we are sure to turn things around.
Q: What does the man mean?
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
