　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　M: That’s a great dress, Cindy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear it before.

　　Q: What will the man probably do?
　　17. B
　　W: Wednesdays are going to be busy days for me next semester. Three class in the morning and then two more in the afternoon. I won’t even have time for lunch.
　　M: You really should try to fit it in, you know. Those afternoon classes would be tough to sit through with empty stomach.
　　Q: What does the man suggest the woman should do?

　　M: Now suppose I was to stay at home and do all the housework and look after the children while my wife went out to work. What would you think about that?

　　22. Why does the doctor suggest the man go to the university health center?
　　【答案】B
　　W: Hello, Jim. I haven’t seen you in a while. What seems to be the problem?
　　M: Actually I’m a little embarrassed about coming here. I feel fine right now. But you know... you know how much suffering is going around. Anyway every year around the holidays, like clockwork, I come down with something.
　　W: So you are interested in prevention. What symptoms do you usually get?
　　M: You know, cough, fever, running nose, my head and bones ache, chills even. I’m usually miserable for a week and it ends up ruining my holidays.
　　W: Sounds like a typical flu to me. As you said, lots of people have it. Influenza often strikes when people are overtired, stressed out and not eating enough nutritious food. And also you increase your exposure to a virus when you’re in big crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing.
　　M: I certainly spend a lot time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for people.
　　W: Yes. And so you increase your exposure to a virus just when your body’s resistance is already low form all the running around you do.
　　M: So what can I do to ward off the flu?
　　W: Actually it’s fairly simple. Get a lot of rest, eat well. That way your immune system will be boosted. And you will be more able to fight off illness.
　　M: All these things make sense. But one more question. Aren’t I bound to get sick anyway if there’s an outbreak in the dorm?
　　W: Oh, you didn’t mention you live in a dormitory. In that case, I’d suggest you get immunized. The vaccine available prevents the three main types of influenza. Why don’t you go to the university health center? The shots are free there.
　　M: I’ll do it right away. It will be nice to feel well during the holidays for once.
