听力原文
Section A
1. M: Mary, could you please tell Thomas to contact me? I was hoping he would be able to help me out with the freshmen orientation program next week.
　W: I would certainly tell him if I saw him, but I haven't seen him around for quite a few days.
　Q: What does the woman mean?

2. M: Susan, I am going to change the light bulb above the dining room table. Will you hold the ladder for me?
　W: No problem. But be careful while you're up there.
　Q: What does the man want the woman to do?

3. W: It's freezing cold. Let me make some coffee to warm us up. Do you want a piece of pie as well?
　M: Coffee sounds great. But I'm going to have dinner with some friends in a while, so I'd better skip the pie.
　Q: What does the man mean?

4. W: How come Jim lost his job?
　M: I didn't say he had lost it. All I said was if he didn't get out and start selling a few cars instead of idling around all day, he might find himself looking for a new job.
　Q: What does the man say about Jim?

5. M: Hello, Mary. This is Paul at the bank. Is Tony home?
　W: Not yet. Paul. I don't think you can reach him at the office now, either. He phoned me five minutes ago to say he was stopping for a hair-cut on his way home.
　Q: Who do you think the woman probably is?

6. W: Oh! Boy! I don't understand how you got a ticket today. I always thought you were slow even driving on the less crowded fast lane.
　M: I'm usually careful. But this time I thought I could get through the intersection before the light turned.
　Q: What do we learn about the man?

7. W: Your dog certainly seems to know you are his master. Did you have to punish him very often when you trained him?
　M: I found it's much better to praise him when he obeys and not to be so fussy when he makes mistakes.
　Q: What does the man say about training dogs?

8. M: I am afraid there won't be time to do another tooth today. Make sure you don't eat anything like stakes for the next few hours, and we'll fill the other cavity tomorrow.
　W: All right. Actually, I must hurry to the library to return some books.
　Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

9. W: I am worried about Jenny going to college. College students are so wild nowadays.
　M: Actually, only a few are like that. Most students are too busy studying to have time to cause trouble.
　Q: What does the man imply?

10. W: You didn't seem to be terribly enthusiastic about the performance.
　 M: You must be kidding. I couldn't have clapped any harder. My hands are still hurting.
　 Q: What does the man think of the performance?
