What does the man probably do? A: Try to find the woman's notes.
33.    -Do you know how I can get to the research lab from here?

-- What does the woman imply? A: The lab is far away.

40.    - Sally said she dropped her article off at the student's newspaper office yesterday. But I couldn't find it, and neither could anyone else?

54-58 Conversation: Dormitory
W: So how do you like living in the renovated dorms?
M: They're not much different than the old dorms, just some new panes in windows. The windows are nice though. They shut out noise really well. The street's just outside but I can barely hear the traffic.
W: MM, they must be good windows; I'll bet they have double panes of glass. They shut out a lot of noise that a single pane wouldn't stop.
M: yeah, I wish I had something just as effective between me and my neighbor's room. Sometimes he turns up the music so loud I have trouble getting to sleep. Anyway I guess I'm better off than the people who will be moving into the new dorms. Did you see how thin the walls are that they're putting up between those rooms?
W: I haven't seen them but I did read something about them in the campus newspaper. They're supposed to be better than the thick concrete wall you've got here.
M: Better? How?
W: Well, what they're doing is separating each room with 2 thin layers of plaster board and each one is nailed to a different frame. That way, they vibrate independently.
M: oh I see, so the sound from one room doesn't just vibrate the wall and go directly into the next room. There is a gap between the 2 layers of wall.
W: That's right.
M: Well, I'm still stuck with this neighbor and I'm not sure what to do.
W: You know, having bare walls doesn't help. You should hang something up like small rugs or some decorative cloth. That would act like a kind of second wall and absorb some of the sound. I've got some extras you can use, if you'd like.
M: I appreciate it. Anything to get a good night sleep.

59-61 Discussion in a Bookstore
W: Can I help you find something? Oh, hi, Rake?
M: Hi, Judy! When did you start working here? I thought you are waiting tables at Teresa's cafe.
W: Yeah, I quit because I had to work too many nights. I started here just a few days ago. It's perfect. I work all afternoon shifts, so my mornings are free for classes and I can study at night. So what're you looking for?
M: Well, I can't seem to find the eighth book for English 626. I only found these seven. I'm probably looking right at it.
W: English 626, English 626. Are you sure there are 8?
M: Yeah. They're eight titles on my syllabus. And look, the card of the shelf has eight listed. But I can only find seven of the books.
W: You're right! Oh, here they are! They are on the wrong shelf over here by the economic books. I'll have to put these with the English books so that they're not so hard to find.
M: Thanks a lot. Could you point me in the direction of the computer paper?
W: Sure. It's 2 or 3 aisles over. Why don't you follow me? It's easier just to show you.

62-65 A conversation between a student and her advisor
M: Janet, nice to see you again. Ready to plan your schedule for next semester?
W: Yeah. I've already looked at the list of classes and I hope to take business law and intro to finance this coming semester.
M: That sounds good and it is always best to plan the courses in your major first, and then fit other requirements in electives in.
W: I'd like to take one other business course but I am not sure which one?
M: How are about an economics course?
W: I took one this past semester and got a lot out of it.
M: Oh, that's right. I remember you're telling me about it. Well, let's see what else you need?
W: I need another English course and was thinking about taking a poetry class.
M: Let me see, the prerequisite for all the poetry classes is English composition.
W: I took that my first semester
M: Well, modern American poetry fits into your schedule.
W: With Doctor Tenor Mien?
M: mhn.
W: That'd be great! I heard all about her from my roommate, the English major.
M: This is shaping up to be a pretty good semester for you, what else do you need to take?
W: I have to take one more math course but I've been putting it off. I heard that calculus is really tough.
M: It is! But you may want to take it and just take these four courses this semester.
W: That's not a bad idea! I just hope it doesn't affect my grade point average.

66-70 two students outside the students dinning hall
W: Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?
M: No. I guess not.
W: Great! This is for a student council report. We want to find out what students think of the campus food service. The results will tell us what kind of changes to push for.
M: I think everyone has pretty strong opinions about that.
W: Yeah, that's one thing I've found out already. Ok, first, how often do you eat in the cafeteria?
M: Almost everyday, I've got a meal contract.
W: And do you usually eat here at Anderson hall.
M: Yeah, I live next door.
W: And you mentioned that you have a meal contract, is that right?
M: For breakfast and dinner, Monday through Saturday.
W: What's your general impression of the food here?
M: Well, people complain a lot, but basically I think it's ok. The vegetables are usually overcooked, but, I mean, they have to feed hundreds of people here. You're not ganna get something freshly prepared just for you.
W: What if I just put down: generally satisfactory ; would like more fresh vegetables, ok?
M: Sure
W: So, you think the other things, like soup and dessert, are OK?
M: That's about right.
W: Is there anything you'd like to change about the cafeteria?
M: Yeah, the hours. Sometimes it's a real rush for me to get back here before 6:30.

71-73 Library Conversation
W: Excuse me! I need a copy of Steven Hawkins' "a brief history of time". And I don't know where to look for it?
M: Did you check its status on the library's computer?
W: I tried but I couldn't figure out what to do.
M: Well I can call it up right here. You want it Hawkins' book right? It looks like it will be out for another 6 weeks.
W: Oh no! I really need it for a paper that's due in 2 weeks. Is there anything you can do?
M: Sure, we can try to get it from the another library, just fill out this form and it should be here in 3 to 5 days. But it will cost 2 dollars.
M: What a relief! This will really help!

74-76 Conversation
M: Good morning! Is this where we should come to add or drop a course?
W: Yes, it is. Just write the name of the course you want to drop on this blue form.
M: Great. Now where do I write in the astronomy course that I want to add?
W: Sorry, it's too late to add a course. You can only add courses two weeks into the semester and Friday was the last day.
M: But I'm a senior. And if I drop a course without adding one, I won't have enough credits to graduate.
W: So, what you have to do then is get the professor's approval and have him sign a special add form, then bring it back to me and I'll put it through.
M: Ok, thanks. I hope I'll be able to find him.

77-79 Conversation
M: Hi, there, we missed you in psychology class yesterday?
W: I had a terrible cold so I stayed home. Did you take notes?
M: Well, no one can ever decipher my handwriting. Tina was there too and you're more likely to be able to read her notes.
W: Do you know where she is today?
M: I know she has class this morning. But she always eats lunch in the cafeteria around noon.
W: Good, I'll try to catch her then.
