Test 2
Now you will hear two long
conversations.
Conversation
One
M: May I help you?
W:
Yes, my nephew is
graduating from college next week and I’d
like
to get him a nice gift.
M:
What price gift are you
interested in? We’ll need to know that before we
begin looking.
W: Well, I
usually spend about twenty dollars for a gift. Do
you have anything nice for that price?
M: How about a pen and pencil? We could
engrave his initials on them.
W: No, my
brother gave him that for his birthday last year.
M: Well, then, would he enjoy a chess
set?
W:
No, he doesn’t go in
much for chess, but he is quite
athletic.
M: Then you could
get him a handball set.
W:
That’s a good idea. I’ll
ta
ke it.
Questions 9 to 11 are based
on the conversation you have just heard.

the gift for?
10. How much does the
woman want to spend on the gift?
11.
What is the first gift the clerk suggests to the
woman?
Conversation Two
M: Did you see that TV
program last night about the sky-diver whose
parachutes didn’t open after
he had jumped from his plane?
W: No, I didn’t. Did he
die?
M: No. It’s really
unbelievable how he could have
survived
such a free fall, much less live to tell
about it on television!
W:
What happened?
M: Neither of his chutes
opened as he dropped to the ground. When they
found him, they thought
he was dead.
Doctors said
he’d never walk again, but
he proved them wrong.
W: How
long was he recovering?
M: He spent
eighteen months in the hospital while his bones
were mending, most of which were
broken. He was no sooner discharged
than he went back and jumped out of a plane again.
W: Gee, some people sure do
crazy things!
