Questions 11 to 14 are based on the following conversation:
W: Good evening, sir.
M: Good evening. My name’s Peter Roach. I believe you have a room reserved for me.
W: Just a moment, Mr. Roach. Let’s see. Roach, yes, Mr. Roach, room 803. Would you fill in this form, please?
M: Certainly. Eh, I don’t have a pen and there isn’t one on the desk.
W: Isn’t there? How strange!
M: Perhaps someone walked off with it. Could you lend me yours?
W: Of course! Here you are. How long do you intend to stay, Mr. Roach?
M: I’m not sure. It all depends. But I’m probably going to leave on Saturday. That means I probably will stay for three nights. Of course, it may be longer than that, you know.
W: For three nights until Saturday. I see. Would you tell us as soon as you know?
M: Certainly. Where shall I put the number of my passport?
W: Just at the bottom. That’s right. Thank you.
M: Oh, would you wake me up at 7 tomorrow morning?
W: At 7, certainly. Tom, would you take Mr. Roach’s suitcase to his room? Just follow the porter, Mr. Roach.
M: Thank you! You’ve been very helpful. Goodbye!
W: My pleasure! Goodbye! Oh, Mr. Roach! My pen!
M: Your pen?
W: Yes. I lent it to you a moment ago. You remember?
M: Oh, yeah, of course you did. I put it in my pocket by mistake. Here you are. I’m very sorry.
W: That’s quite all right.

Question 12. Why does the man want to borrow a pen from the woman?
Question 13. What day is it when the man checks in?

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation:
M: You think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that, as a result, they lost respect for their parents and their elders generally.
W: I don’t think so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.
M: Are you quite independent of them now?
W: Yes. As soon as I left high school and started my college studies as an elementary school teacher, I became independent financially. I have a government grant which is enough for my keep. But I still stay with them a lot as you know.
M: You seem very close to your parents.
W: I am. I know that many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents. But I’m rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you?
M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. (注意value與第21題D選項中view之間的干擾) I’m very fond of my family, but I don’t always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.
W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own.
M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion. Your parents treat you as an adult. Mine treat me as a child.
W: As I said, I’m lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they’re out of sympathy with our generation.

Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following conversation:
M: Miss Grace, I’m glad that you’ve made it through that heavy snow.
W: Yes, I was not expecting so much snow here and it is colder than I expected. I was unable to book a taxi from the hotel, so I had to get up early and come by bus.
M: We are having extraordinary weather this winter. Even so, you are on time for your appointment. During this interview, I would like to give you a brief overview of our MBA program and job requirements. You’ll want to know this background information, then I’ll need to get some information from you. If you have questions, please feel free to ask them.
W: All right.
M: You are aware that we have a special purpose for this MBA program. We want to help young professionals find direction and position. The student should earn a certificate upon completion of the program.
W: There is definitely a shortage of trained personnel in this area.
M: From your resume, I notice that you have experience in the business world as well as in teaching MBA courses. What do you consider to be your strong points?
W: My present employer says I am creative but practical. He has commented more than once I’m the best CEO he’s ever had.
M: If you are hired, what would you plan to do for our students?
W: I would hope to help the students become diligent and efficient employees. I would give them a solid foundation in managerial expertise as well as professional knowledge.
M: Miss Grace, you will be taking a cut in salary by coming here. Would you mind telling me why you are considering a change of jobs? Is it because of your health? many people come to this city for the mild climate, and, of course, for clean air. This winter is an exception, though.
W: No, I just love to work with young people, and I’d like to share with them my work experience.

Question 28: What strong points does the woman think she has?
Question 29: What kind of the job is the woman looking for?
