W：Hello! Mark, it’s Jane. I think I am close to your office.
M：So where are you?
W：I’m not sure. I got off the bus at the police station, walked straight down the road, and passed a fruit shop. Then I turned left, crossed the road and that’s where I am.
M：Oh, well. You made a wrong turn. Now, get back to where you turned and make a right turn. Walk ahead for about two hundred meters, and our office building is right across the road.

10．What exactly does the man want to find out?
A．What people think of the bus service.
B．How many people are using the bus service.
C．Which group of people use the bus service most often.
M：Hello, Mrs. Smith. I’m from the Daily Mirror. And I’m doing a report on public opinion about the city bus service. So what do you think of the bus service?
W：The bus service? Actually I don’t use it that often unless I have to go shopping.
M：What’s…eh. How could the bus service be improved?
W：Well, they could turn up on time. I mean you look at the timetable, and you’ll think,“Oh, well, five minutes to wait.”And it turns out to be an hour.
M：Do any other people in your family use the bus service?
W：My husband. He uses it more often. But fortunately a girl who works in his office often gives him a lift into work. But when he does need to use it, he’s often angry at it. Once he waited up to fifty minutes at the station for a bus. So I think there should be some way of warning people when a bus is not going to arrive and certainly much more frequent bus services.

M：Nice to see you again after all these years. What have you been doing?

M：I work in a law firm. I’m practicing business law, you know.
W：Oh, that’s interesting.
M：Yeah, I am happy doing what I do.
W：Good.
M：Anyway, it’s great to see you. We must get together sometime.
W：Yes, we should. Look, give me your address and phone number. Er, I’ve got my book here. OK, and then I’ll give you a ring and we can fix something up.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I want to take a little of your time to let you know about a short training programme the company is now planning. The programme is called Learning from Adventure. And it is designed to develop leadership skills. There will be lectures on public relations and management as well as outdoor activities, such as climbing mountains, long-distance running and camping. You don’t need any past experience. There will be no end of programmer test. However, the company will receive a full report on your performance. You are sure to improve your ability to help others to realize their goals, and deal with difficult tasks under difficult conditions. The twelve-day programme will be in July. If you like, you can use part of your twenty-day-paid holidays. There’s no charge for this programme. If you are interested, please write your name on this piece of paper after the meeting. Thank you.
