[00:00.00]Conversation One

[00:02.39]W: Hi, Mike, do you have a minute to spare?

[00:05.78]M: Yes, Sherry, how can I help you?

[00:07.86]W: Well, I have been getting music noises coming from your apartment

[00:11.91]and it seems like it is always during 9 p.m. to 12 a.m.

[00:15.95]when I am trying to study.

[00:17.60]Is it possible to tune¹ down

[00:20.00]and contain the noise to your apartment then?

[00:22.63]M: Oh, I'm so sorry about that.

[00:25.59]I hadn't been back to my apartment for two weeks

[00:28.53]and in fact, I just got back today.

[00:30.83]It must be my new roommate then.

[00:33.02]W: I realize that.

[00:34.44]Could you have a word with him

[00:36.52]and get him to lower the volume

[00:38.05]because it is disturbing during the night?

[00:40.24]It's just, how it is around this time of the year

[00:43.52]with midterms and everything.

[00:44.94]M: Oh, no problem,

[00:46.47]and I tell you what I won't even mention

[00:48.99]that it was you who complained.

[00:50.85]W: Well, Mike, I appreciate it but

[00:52.92]I'm afraid that this is not the only issue I want to bring up.

[00:56.43]Your new roommate is also taking up

[00:58.94]two parking spaces in the parking lot.

[01:00.91]M: Really, I didn't know that!

[01:03.32]That's selfish of him.

[01:05.50]Well, Sherry, not to worry.

[01:08.02]You bet I will give him a piece of my mind tonight.

[01:10.97]W: All right, I hope you can settle all of this soon.

[01:14.36]Sorry to give you all this bad news now.

[01:16.44]M: Oh, don't worry, Sherry,

[01:18.96]this will be all settled without a hitch².

[01:21.03]Questions 1 to 3 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[01:27.60]1. What does the woman think of the roommate's music?

[01:48.63]2. What is Mike's real trouble?

[02:05.81]3. What can be inferred about the man and his roommate?

[02:27.13]Conversation Two

[02:30.74]M: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our program.

[02:35.54]Let me introduce this week's panel³.

[02:38.28]Mrs. Perkins, a housewife and mother of three.

[02:42.22]Miss Lessing, a law student.

[02:44.40]Police Constable⁴ Hardwick,

[02:46.49]and last but not least John Henderson, a 16-year-old schoolboy.

[02:50.97]The question for the panel this evening is,

[02:53.81]er...smoking should be banned in all public places,

[02:57.75]including the street.

[02:59.17]Does the panel agree?

[03:00.70]Mrs. Perkins, can we have your opinion first?

[03:03.88]W: Yes, er...

[03:05.19]I quite agree that smoking should be banned in all public places.

[03:09.89]I don't smoke myself and cigarette smoking bothers me.

[03:13.61]I think it bothers most non-smokers.

[03:16.35]M: Constable Hardwick, what do you think?

[03:19.08]W: I agree entirely⁶ that smoking should be banned

[03:22.58]in all public places that are enclosed,

[03:25.64]er...like offices, shops, clubs, etc.,

[03:29.25]but I don't think it should be banned in the street.

[03:32.43]I mean, in the street it doesn't harm anyone but the smoker⁵ himself.

[03:37.13]And er...that's the smoker's business.

[03:39.86]M: Miss Lessing?

[03:41.72]W: I don't agree at all.

[03:43.90]I don't think it helps to ban things.

[03:46.75]If you ban smoking in all public places,

[03:50.04]more people will want to do it.

[03:52.33]People always want to do things that they are not allowed to.

[03:56.48]M: And now, can we have your opinion, John?

[03:59.99]M: I think tobacco smoking should be banned

[04:02.83]altogether in public and private places.

[04:06.44]In the first place, it's a dirty habit.

[04:09.39]In the second place, it's dangerous to your health.

[04:12.78]M: Thank you very much, John.

[04:15.08]Questions 4 to 7 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[04:23.89]4.What is the topic for the panel discussion this evening?

[04:44.29]5.What is Mr. Hardwick's attitude

[04:47.91]towards the idea of banning smoking?

[05:06.05]6.Why doesn't Miss Lessing support
