1. M: How much did it cost you to have your hair cut?
W: I paid 20 yuan, but it’s one-third of the regular price.
Q: What’s the regular price for a haircut?
2. M: Well, what is the matter with you, Miss Chen?
W: I can’t sleep well these days and I’ve got a sore throat.
Q: What is the probable relationship between the man and the woman?
3. W: Where did you find this bag?
M: It was lying under the sofa between the table and the lamp.
Q: What are they talking about?
4. W: May I watch what you’re doing?
M: Sure. You dig a hole, put in the seed, cover it with dirt, and then water it.
Q: What is the man doing?
5. M: The bus is always late.
W: I know. I’ve been waiting for it for half an hour. If it doesn’t come in another 15 minutes, I’ll go on foot.
Q: How long has the woman been waiting for the bus?
6. M: I thought there is a special sale on carpet cleaner this week.
W: That sale was over yesterday. We have notebooks on sale this week.
Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?
7. M: I’m no expert. But that noise in your refrigerator doesn’t sound right. Maybe you should have it fixed.
W: You’re right. And I suppose I’ve put it off long enough.
Q: What will the woman probably do?
8. W: Where have you been, David? You’re late for class again.
M: Sorry, but I couldn’t help it. My bus got caught in a traffic jam.
Q: Why was David late again?
9. W: I’m sorry to tell you that you needn’t come next week.
M: I’ve always worked hard. Would you be kind enough to give me a month’s time so that I can find a new job?
Q: What happened to the man?
10. W: Simon, could you return the tools I lent you for building the bookshelf last month?
M: Oh, I hate to tell you this, but I can’t seem to find them.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
