[00:00.64]1. W: Wow, I do like this campus.
[00:07.86]All the big trees, the green lawns,
[00:11.25]and the old buildings with tall columns.
[00:14.42]It's really beautiful.
[00:16.48]M: It sure is.
[00:18.45]The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style.
[00:21.73]It was popular in the 18th century here.
[00:24.80]Q: What are the speakers talking about?
[00:45.12]2. W: You've sold your car.
[00:49.71]You don't need one?
[00:51.35]M: Not really. I've never liked driving anyway.
[00:55.40]Now that we've moved to a place near the subway entrance,
[00:59.93]we can get about quite conveniently.
[01:02.45]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[01:22.11]3. M: I'm going to drop my information science class.
[01:29.11]It meets too early in the morning.
[01:31.74]W: Is that really a good reason to drop the class, Tony?
[01:35.90]Q: What does the woman mean?
[01:55.53]4. M: If you aren't doing anything particular,
[02:00.78]shall we see the new play at the Grand Theater tonight?
[02:04.61]W: Sounds great.But I've got to go over my notes for tomorrow's midterm.
[02:10.08]Q: What does the woman imply?
[02:30.21]5. M: What do you think are the prospects for on line education?
[02:38.20]Is it going to replace the traditional school?
[02:42.14]W: I doubt it. Schools are here to stay,
[02:45.31]because they are much more than just book learning.
[02:48.29]Even though more and more kids are going on line,
[02:51.58]I believe few of them will quit school altogether.
[02:54.96]Q: What does the woman think of conventional schools?
[03:16.35]6. M: How do most students find a job after they graduate?
[03:23.46]W: They usually look for a job by searching the want ads in the newspapers.
[03:28.49]Q: What does the woman mean?
[03:47.73]7. M: Allen is in the basement trying to repair the washing machine.
[03:55.94]W: Shouldn't he be working on his term paper?
[03:59.33]Q: What does the woman think Allen should do?
[04:21.45]8. M: Congratulations, Li Ming.
[04:26.37]You're the talk of the town and the pride of our class now.
[04:31.19]W: If you're referring to my winning the English speech contest,
[04:35.56]I don't think it's such a big deal.
[04:37.97]You know, I've spent two summer vacations learning English in Canada.
[04:42.67]Q: What do we learn about Li Ming from the conversation?
