| 1. M: Mary, could you please tell Thomas to contact with me? I was hoping he would be able to help me out with the freshmen orientation program next week.
W: I would certainly tell him if I saw him, but I haven't seen him around for quite a few days.
Q: What does the woman mean?
2. M: Susan, I am going to change the light bulb above the dining room table. Will you hold the ladder for me?
W: No problem. But be careful while you're up there.
Q: What does the man want the woman to do?
3. W: It's freezing cold. Let me make some coffee to warm us up. Do you want a piece of pie as well?
M: Coffee sounds great. But I'm going to have dinner with some friends in a while, so I'd better skip the pie.
Q: What does the man mean?
4. W: How come Jime lost his job?
M: I didn't say he had lost it. All I said was if he didn't get out and start selling a few cars instead of idling around all day, he might find himself looking for a new job.
Q: What does the man say about Jim?
5. M: Hello, Mary. This is Paul at the bank. Is Torry home?
W: Not yet. Paul. I don't think you can reach him at the office now, either. He phoned me five minutes ago to say he was stopping for a hair-cut on his way home.
Q: What do you think the woman probably is?
6. W: Oh! Boy! I don't understand how you got a ticket today. I always thought you were slow even driving on the less croweded fast lane.
