---Well, he graduated last year. But you would never have guessed that we were brothers.
---What does the man imply?
19. ---I'm thinking of heading to the gym before going to dinner. Care to join me?
---If you don't mind waiting while I go get my gym bag.
---What does the man mean?
20. ---I'm in a terrible mood. My boss didn't like the report I wrote.
---Well, don't take it out on me.
---What does the man mean?
21. ---So I guess it's been a year now since your last checkup. Have you had any health problems?
---None to speak of.
---What does the woman mean?
22. ---Have you ordered your graduation announcements?
---No, I had Don do it for me.
---What does the woman say about the graduation announcements?
23. ---I hear you got a big parking ticket.
---Yeah. I never realized Lot 3 was only for faculty.
---What does the man imply?
24. ---I went through a whole box of paper and a printer ribbon just trying to get my resume right.
---It'll be worth it. You know just to make a good impression.
---What can be inferred from the conversation?
25. ---So you weren't happy with the way the newspaper covered the rally protesting the rising tuition fees?
---No. The article underestimated the number of students who were there and I don't think it explained
our point of view very well.
---What can be inferred about the man?
26. ---When are you ever going to finish this report? You've been working on it for three months.
---Only two and half. But it does seem longer.
---What does the woman say about the report?
27. ---I've been meaning to get my eyes checked. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
---Why don't you call for an appointment right away? Once on your calendar you will get it done.
---What does the man suggest the woman do?
28. ---Hey, Lisa. Has Professor Smith returned my call yet?
---I just got in a little while ago myself.
---What does Lisa imply?
29. ---I got an invitation to a financial planning seminar. And I don't want to go alone.
---Count me in. I need all the help I can get managing my money.
---What will the woman probably do?
30. ---I hope you are not too put out with me for stopping by Fred's on the way over here. I had to pick up an
assignment.
---Well, that's not a big deal. But you might at least phone if you know you are going to keep someone
waiting.
---What does the woman mean?

PART B
31---34 Conversation at a registrar's office at a university.
l I want to register for this mathematics course.
l I'm sorry registration has closed.
l Closed? The clerk told me I could come back and register any time during the first week of classes.
l Well, that's not possible. The computer's official student account has already been sent to the state. And that's what our budget is based on. Who told you that anyway?
l Some woman here when I tried to register three weeks ago. She said I just had to pay a late fee.
l She must have been a temporary worker. They don't have much training. Why didn't you register then?
l She said I couldn't until I had my birth certificate. Here it is.
l Your birth certificate?
l Well, I'm a new part-time student. So she ask for identification. I don't drive so I don't have a driver's license.
l Huh. That's no reason to demand a birth certificate. We only need to establish residency: a phone bill with your name and address on it would've been fine.
l Really? Only prove of my address?
l Yes. I'm afraid she gave you the wrong information. Still you'll have to wait and take your math's class next semester.
l But that's not fair.
l Well, I sympathize with your problem, but frankly, I don't think there is anything anyone can do for you. You were trapped in the system. If you want to you can talk to the director. She will help you if she can.
