I. Short Conversation 11． M: Ive missed you over the years, and I wish that we would have spent more time together. W: Sweetheart, I know youve seen me as much as you could. Youre a grown man and have responsibilities that kept you away. I know. Q: Why did the man spend so much time away from the woman? 12．M: I didnt expect you to be back at work so soon! You were just at the hospital yesterday! W: Yeah. I wasnt so sure about coming back. But the doctor told me it wouldnt be a problem. He said itd do me good to be out among people again. Q: Why did the doctor say itd be good for the woman to return to work? 13．W: Those pants look lovely on you. Do you like them? M: Well, I dont know. They fit fine at the waists but dont you think theyre a little baggy in my hips? Q: What does the man mean? 14．M: Do you know what youd do if you got sick. I mean, you dont have insurance! W: I guess Id go to my parents for help. Or maybe I could take out a loan from the bank. There are options to insurance, you know. Q: What are the speakers talking about? 15．W: I heard that youre taking piano lessons now. Why did you decide on that? M: I ran into a teacher last week who pointed out my long fingers and said I could become a wonderful player. Since starting, Ive learned I could become famous. Q: Why did the man decide to learn the piano? 16．M: Ive been thinking about retiring soon. Maybe then I can do the traveling I want. W: Thats a great idea. But before you do, lets save up money for one more year. OK? Id like to go with you, and we need money to spend. Q: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers? 17．W: I cant believe it! Theres a man from the government here telling us to paint our home! He says its too ugly! What nerve! M: Thats unbelievable. What right does he have to tell us what our home should look like? Q: What can be inferred from the conversation? 18．M: I havent gotten a nights sleep since our son was born. Any ideas for what we can do?
