Q: What does the woman think of the government’s tax cut proposal?
2. M: Jenny, remember this: a job worth doing at all is worth doing well.

Q: What can be inferred about the woman from the conversation?
3. M: I found that one of my schoolmates uses drugs.

Q: Who is worried about gaining weight?
5. W: Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors?
