1.m: i spent my summer vacation at north in montana, the view of the mountain there

is so beautiful. i think it would be great to live there all year around

q: what does the man suggest the woman do?

6. m: you know that promotion i thought i was going to get at the bookstore? well, i didn’t, so i’m going to see my boss tomorrow and tell her i’ve had it.

w: oh, i understand that you are upset, but, you know there just aren’t a lot

of part-time jobs out there right now. try to keep that in mind before doing anything drastic, ok?

7. m: didn’t you finish the experiment yet? it was due on friday

w: i am having so many problems. the professor has given me an extension.

8. m: does my stomach hurt? i haven’t felt very well all day.

w: mine’s feeling a little funny too. it began after we ate that seafood last night.

9. w: i can’t believe that you missed the class again. didn’t professor odell say something to you that last time?

m: you bet i am, and what’s even more surprising is how much i enjoy the class.

17. m: sorry, i’m late, i had to stop at home after class to put on a suit and

tie. you know, couse it’s in a world ceremony …

w: you probably should not bother it. and look around you, half of the guys here wear jeans and sweaters.

18. w: this campus offers a wide rage of extra curricula activities, whether your interests are athletics, clubs or committee center organizations.

19. m: if i can borrow your spanish notes this weekend, i’ll be in a lot better shape for the quiz on monday

w: hum, well, maybe you should say something, he might not realize you’re also a fulltime student.

23. w: besty really lost her temper at that meeting. she’s gonna have to learn to

be a lot more diplomatic(教練的)than that.

m: you are right, but you have to give a credit for taking a stand(表明觀點(diǎn)).

24. w: wow! this paper looks like it was typed on a typewriter. how did you get your computer printed it make a look like this?

m: i didn’t, sometimes i think i am the last person on campus who doesn’t use a computer.

31-35. listen to a conversation between two teachers outside the chemistry building.

m: i don’t know, susan, i don’t feel like i am reaching my freshman class this semester.

w: why do you say that?

m: it’s just they seem to glaze over(眼神呆滯) with noncomprehension, even when i’m talking about the basics, they are not specially motivated either. i know the class is a first year science requirement for most of them. but i’ve got to do something.

w: jean, you know jean white, she teaches physics, she just told me about how

she livens up(活躍)her classes.

m: what did she do?

w: well, basically, she takes something they are interested in, like music, and tries to relate principal of science to that. otherwise, the concepts seem to go right over their heads.

m: do you mean, for example, she’d use rock and roll to demonstrate the principles of acoustics(聲學(xué)) and physics?

w: exactly, in fact, she said she had used music, and she’d used movies, especially, science fiction in her classes too.

m: sounds like her methods worth a try. but i need a few more details. maybe i’ll gonna see her tomorrow. thanks

31, what is the man’s complaint?

32, what kind of class does the man probably teach?

34, what does jean white do to improve her classes?

35, what is the man’s response to jean white’s teaching method?36-38

m: ouch, how can the sand be so hot when the water’s still cold? my feet feel

like to getting blisters.

w: now, mark, were you sleeping when professor brock gave that lecture on specific heat(比熱,即：使單位質(zhì)量物體升高一度所需的熱量) in physics class?

m: i didn’t come to san diego on spring break to talk about professor brock’s physics class.

w: i know, me neither, i was just answering your question, that’s all.

m: what question?

w: you weren’t even paying attention to your own question

m: i was just complaining about the hot sand. considering what the water’s like, i wonder how the sand can be so hot?

w: well, professor brock’s lecture on specific heat might give you a clue. water has a higher specific heat than sand.

m: then why is the sand so much hotter if water has a higher specific heat?

w: don’t you remember? specific heat is the energy need to raise the temperature of something. if something has a high specific heat, like water, it takes more energy to raise its temperature.

m: i see. so you are saying that something with a high specific heat, like water, doesn’t get hot as fast as something with a low specific heat, like sand, right?

w: right. so sand gets hot faster during the day, that’s why it’s so hot while the water’s still cool.

m: i guess you are right, i should pay more attention in class.36, what is the woman trying to explain to the man?

37, what is the man complaining about?

38, what does the woman say about the water?
