　　PART B

　　Q31-34 A conversation at a bicycle shop.

　　* Hi, John.

　　* Oh! Hi, Laura. What are you doing here?

　　* Uh. I'm usually here on weekends. It's my dad's shop. So you are looking for a bike?

　　* Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.

　　* Well, you came to the right place. Do you know what you would like?

　　* Well, I don't want a racer or a touring bike or anything. Mostly I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.

　　* How far is that?

　　* About four miles.

　　* Are there a lot of hills on the way?

　　* Some I guess. But maybe I should tell you at the front that I only got 150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that?

　　* Well, you are not going to get anything top of the line. But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition.

　　* That sounds good.

　　* And you are right. For the kind of ride you are going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort.

　　Q35-39 A conversation between two students.

　　* Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed right through.

　　. But you were standing in a line.

　　* Yeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance learning course.

　　* Distance learning? Never heard of it.

　　* Well, it's new this semester. It's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll catch on else where.

　　Yesterday over a hundred students signed up.

　　* Well, what is it?

　　* It's an experimental course. I registered for Child Psychology. All I got to do is watch a twelve week

　　series of televised lessons. The department shows them several different times a day and in several different locations.

　　* Don't you ever have to meet with your professor?

　　* Yeah. After each part of the series, I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you

　　know, about our ideas. Then we'll meet on campus three times for reviews and exams.

　　* It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules. Not to mention how it'll cut down on traffic.

　　* You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80% of all psychology majors were employed. That's why they came up with the program. Look, I'll be working three days a week next semester and it was either cut back on my classes or try this out.

　　* The only thing is, doesn't it seem impersonal though? I mean, I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.

　　* Well, I guess that's why phone contacts are important. Anyway it's an experiment. Maybe I'll end up hating it.

　　* Maybe. But I'll be curious to see how it works out.

　　35. Where did the man see the woman yesterday?

　　36. How was the distance learning course different from traditional courses?

　　37. What do the speakers agree is the major advantage of the distance learning course?

　　38. Why did the woman decide to enroll in the distance learning course?

　　39. What does the man think is a disadvantage of distance learning?

　　PART C

　　Q40-43 A student report in a United State's History class.

　　So-uh- as Jim said, James Polk was the eleventh president. And, well, my report's about the next president Zachary Taylor. Taylor was elected in 1849, it's surprising because he was the first president who didn't have any previous political experience. The main reason he was chosen as a candidate was because he was a war hero. In the army, his man called him Old Rough and Ready. I guess because

　　his rough edges. He was kind of blunt and didn't look like a military hero. He liked to do things like wearing civilian clothes instead of uniform even in battle. And he was so short and plump that he had to be lifted up on to his horse. But he did win a lot of battles and he became more and more popular. So the Whig party decided to nominated him for the presidency even though no one knew anything about where he stood on the issues. I couldn't find much about his accomplishments probably because he was only in office about a year and half before he died. But one thing he pushed for the development of transcontinental railroad because he thought it was important form a link with the west coast. There was a lot of wealth in California and Oregon from commerce and minerals and stuff. Also he established an agricultural bureau in the department of the Interior and promoted more government aid to agriculture. Well, that's about all I found. Like I said, he died in office in 1850, so his vice president took over. And that's the next report. So thank you.
