　　SECTION B CONVERSATION
　　In this section you will hear 10 short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the question.

　　8. W: I couldn’t stand this morning. My right leg went stiff.
　　M: I’m afraid it’s probably a side-effect from the drugs I put you on.

　　9. W: How did your writing go this morning? Is the book coming along alright?
　　M: I’m not sure. I think the rest of it will be difficult to write.

　　10. W: Is there anything you can do to make the cold go away more quickly?
　　M: No, there isn’t. And a cold isn’t really serious enough for a visit to a doctor.

　　11. W:Look! What have I got here!
　　M: Oh. So you did go to that bookstore!

　　12. M: Excuse me. Has there been an emergency?
　　W: Oh, no sir. There’s just a storm, so the plane will leave a little later this afternoon.

　　13. W: I wish I hadn’t hurt Linda’s feeling like that yesterday. You know I never meant to.
　　M: The great thing about Linda is that she doesn’t hold any grudges. By tomorrow she’ll have forgotten all about it.

　　14. M: My grades are not bad, but not good enough. I know I didn’t study at all this semester. Now I have to work very hard next semester to keep my scholarship.
　　W:I’ll see you in the library, then.

　　15. W: I’ll wear this blue jacket for the evening. I like the color on me, don’t you think? 
　　M:I think it looks terrific on you-really! 

　　16. W: Do you know that Sam turned down that job offer by a travel agency? 
　　M: Yeah. The hours were convenient, but had he accepted it, he wouldn’t have been able to make ends meet. 

　　17. W: At the rate it is being used, the printer is not going to make it through the rest of the year. 
　　M: The year? It is supposed to be good for four! 
