[00:00.64]1. M: I hear a newly-invented drug can make people tell the truth
[00:10.16]and it may prove useful in questioning terrorists.
[00:13.99]Isn't it incredible?
[00:16.06]W: Simple solutions to complex problems rarely succeed.
[00:21.32]As far as I know,
[00:23.18]no such drugs are ever known to work.
[00:25.91]Q: What does the woman think of the new drug?
[00:47.84]2. M: You know the electronics company is coming to our campus
[00:54.52]to recruit graduate students next week.
[00:57.58]W: Really? What day?
[00:59.55]I'd like to talk to them and hand in my resume.
[01:02.94]Q: What does the woman want to do?
[01:23.38]3. W: Simon, could you return the tools
[01:29.72]I lent you for building the bookshelf last month?
[01:32.68]M: Oh, well, I hate to tell you this,
[01:36.62]but I can't seem to find them.
[01:38.91]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[01:59.36]4. W: I am going to Martha's house.
[02:04.28]I have a paper to complete. And I need to use her computer.
[02:08.98]M: Why don't you buy one yourself?
[02:11.71]Think how much time you could save.
[02:14.23]Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
[02:34.95]5. W: Daddy, I have decided to give up science and go to business school.
[02:44.91]M: Well, it is your choice as long as you pay your own way,
[02:48.84]but I should warn you that
[02:51.14]not everyone with a business degree will make a successful manager.
[02:54.64]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[03:15.74]6. W: Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.
[03:22.85]M: He is certainly in the position to make that comment.
[03:25.80]He has been there so often.
[03:28.32]Q: What does the man say about Bob?
[03:48.71]7. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me
[03:55.82]to take a vacation early next month?
[03:58.77]M: Did you fill out a request form?
[04:01.40]Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
[04:23.94]8. M: Do you want to go to the lecture this weekend?
[04:30.07]I heard that the guy who is going to deliver the lecture
[04:32.77]spent a year living in the rainforest.
[04:35.17]W: Great, I am doing a report on the rainforest.
[04:39.55]Maybe I can get some new information to add to it.
[04:43.93]Q: What does the woman mean?
