　　11. M: Where should I change and leave my clothes?

　　W: There is a locker room right past the information desk and main exercise room.

　　Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

　　12. W: I really don’t see why football players get such high salaries.

　　M: Neither do I. After all, how much work do they do? A couple of hours a week?

　　Q: What can you infer from this conversation?

　　13. W: I don’t think you quite appreciate the way we do things here. You are, if I may say so, a stranger.

　　M: Thank you, but it’s by no means my first trip to the Middle East.

　　Q: What have you learned about the man?

　　14. W: Would you prefer to stay in a house or an apartment?

　　M: My wife would rather stay in a house, but actually I prefer an apartment. Then I don’t have to worry about looking after a garden.

　　Q: Why does the man prefer an apartment to a house?

　　15. W: While the children are at the movie, I think I’ll drop into Drake’s Department store and do a little shopping.

　　M: Good idea. While you’re there, will you pick up a couple of white shirts for me, and I need some cigarettes, too.

　　Q: What is the woman going to buy for herself?

　　16. M: Since you don’t like your boss, why are you still hanging around him?

　　W: I’m not. I’m going to stop hanging around and quit.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　17. W: Dr. Richards wants you to confirm his appointment on the 28th in the morning.

　　M: Yes, that’s OK. Can you wire him?

　　Q: What does the man ask the woman to do?

　　18. W: When I was in Mexico, I was surprised at what real Mexican food is like. It is so different from what the restaurants serve here.

　　M: When I was in Italy, the same thing happened to me, too.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
