W：Yes, I did.
M：I'm sorry.That's too bad.Who is it？Who got the job, I mean？
W：Someone called Drexler.Carl Drexler.He's been with the company only two years.I've been here longer.And I know more about the job, too！
M：Hmm. Why do you think they gave it to him and not to you？

M：Well...perhaps you should think about it.

Questions 14～17：
M：Have you heard of the Bank of English？
W：No, I haven't.Can you tell me something about it？
M：Well, I' d love to.The largest body of English words gathered together for linguisticresearch in one computerreference source is the Bank of English corpus or word bank at the University of Birmingham.The computer database has 120 million words in it.The vocabulary which an ordinary English speaker would draw on in normal conversation is around 7, 000 words.The Bank of English has been put together from the everyday use of English found in England in current newspapers such as The Times of London, publications like magazines, radio programmes like those of the BBC and today's books.
W：What's the use of the Bank of English？
M：It is used for research into the way ordinary people use English today, for linguists studying the way language is developing and for psychologists looking at the way people communicate with each other.
W：Could you give me an example so that I can know it better？
M：Well, let's take the word "lover" as an example.One finding was that the words most often associated with "lover" were"ex"and"former", meaning someone who was a past lover.The Bank of English also reveals that in the publications studies the phrase "her lover" occurred more often than"his lover". Professor John Sinclair who is in charge of the Bank of English says one of the findings that comes out of the studies is the wit and liveliness with which ordinary people use the English language.
W：Thank you very much.I know a lot about it now.
Questions 18～21：
W：Dr. Steven, I am thinking about changing my major before the end of the freshman year.
M：What are you studying now？
W： I am taking three general requirements and American history and American literature this semester.Last seester I took four requirements and freshman French.
M：I believe it's not too late to change your major because you've mainly taken general requirements which all freshmen have to take.Also we have twelve electives so the two lit courses will be included in them, so you can change your major without losing any credits.
W：I am very happy to know I am still able to change my major.I am interested in writing newspaper articles, and after finishing my degree I would like to work for some newspaper firm.
M：Oh, I think you will be a good writer.
W：Dr. Steven, when do students start practical training？
M：They don't begin practical training in reporting until the sophomore year.Journalism 121 normally is taken in the freshman year as a general background course.
W：I see. I will take the course next semester.Thank you very much for your help.
M：You're welcome.I look forward to seeing you in my department.
Questions 22～25：
M：Now let's welcome Mrs.Green to our program！
W：Thank you.
M：So what's the story you want to share with us？
W：Well, it was an experience in a forest and I was lost.First I found some berries.I did not know what they were, or if they were good to eat or poisonous.However, I was so hungry that I had to eat something.Then while I was eating the berries, I remembered that when you are lost in the forest, you are supposed to look for a river, firstly because you need water to drink, and also because rivers lead out of the forest.So I set out to try to find a river.
M：But you could have been miles away from a river！
W：I was. I walked all day until I couldn't walk any more, but I found nothing.That evening, I realized that I might never find my way out.I might die in the forest and no one would ever find me.
M：Wow！You must have felt really lonely.
W：I did, but just as I was starting to feel really depressed, I saw a monkey sitting in a tree.He had come over to see what I was doing and he started chattering at me and leaping from branch to branch.That made me laugh.I decided at that moment that somehow I was going to survive.
