[00:00.64]1. W: Wow, I do like this campus¹.

[00:07.86]All the big trees, the green lawns²,

[00:11.25]and the old buildings with tall columns³.

[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 imply⁴?

[02:30.21]5. M: What do you think are the prospects⁵ 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 learning⁶.

[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 conventional⁷ 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?
