      Q: What do we learn about the man’s wife from the conversation?
2. M: Excuse me. Can I get a ticket  for a sleeping compartment(卧室) on this train?
    W: Yes, there are four left. The price is 60 pounds per person including a continental breakfast(欧式早餐).
    Q: What is the man doing?
3. M: Janet, here’s the book I borrowed from you, but I’m so sorry that I can’t find its jacket.

     Q: What does the woman imply?
4. M: Lisa, have you been to the new supermarket yet?
    W: Yes, and no. I went there last Saturday for their grand opening(盛大献映) sale, but I drove around the parking lot for nearly an hour, looking for a space before I finally gave up and came home.
    Q: What does the woman mean?
5.  W: You’ve been sitting at the computer for hours. Let’s take a coffee break, shall we?
      M: I wish I could. You know, I’m up to my neck(我很忙) in work. I’ve got to finish this report. I don’t want to miss the deadline. 
      Q: What does the man mean?
6. M: What do you think of this gallery space(走廊空间)? They offered to let me exhibit(展览) some of my paintings here.
    W: Are you kidding? Any art student  I know would die to have an exhibition here.
     Q: What can we infer from the conversation?
7. W: Garry, my assistant(助手，助理) is in hospital now. Is there anyone in your department can give me a hand for a few days?
     M: I think so. I’ll ask around and get back to you.
     Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
8. W: Did you read the article in the paper about the mayor’s speech of the economic form(经济形势)?
     M: Sure I did, but I think they twisted (曲解) the meaning of what he said. It’s not the first time for them to do so.
     Q: What does the man say about the paper’s article?
