Part B
M: So, Susie, did you have a good weekend?
W: It was good, thanks. You won’t believe what I did.
M: What?
W: Remember I told you my dad wanted a desk for his new office? I offered to help him find one online?
M: Oh, yeah?
W: Well, I found a black one. It looked perfect, exactly what I was looking for. It was a fantastic price too. So I ordered it, and it arrived on Saturday — but, the funny thing is, it was really, really small.
M: How small?
W: It only came up to my knees! It turned out I’d ordered a desk for a child. I forgot to check the measurements on the website. I had to phone the company to explain.
(1) 学生问：他们同意让你把桌子退回去吗？Did they agree to let you return the desk to them?
录音答：Luckily, yes. It was very good of them. But then I still had to find a desk. I was looking everywhere, but I couldn’t find anything. In the end, my aunt suggested I try one of those freecycling websites.
(2) 学生问：那是不是人们处理他们不要的东西的地方？Is it where people get rid of stuff they don’t want?
录音答：Yes. I’d never heard of it before, though. I found a dark red desk straight away — and the best thing is, it’s free. I think the owner doesn’t have enough space for it, so he’s just giving it away. All I have to do is go and pick it up.
(3) 学生问：你确定这次大小合适吗？Are you sure it’s the right size this time?
录音答：Ha-ha. Yeah, I double checked the measurements this time. Actually, I’m going to get the desk on Saturday, but the owner lives a little far from Dad’s office, so Tom is going to borrow his uncle’s truck and help me move it.
(1) 录音问：When did Susie get the black desk?
学生答：On Saturday.
(2) 录音问：How big was the black desk?
学生答：It only came up to Susie’s knees.
(3) 录音问：Who advised Susie to try one of the freecycling websites?
学生答：Her aunt.
(4) 录音问：How much is the dark red desk?
学生答：It’s free.
(5) 录音问：Why is Tom going to borrow his uncle’s truck?
学生答：To help Susie move the desk.
Part C
The Quickest Way to London
I’d been traveling around the southwest of England in a hire car when I got a call from home telling me Mom was sick. I decided to return to the US right away and I set off in the direction of London, but after I’d been going for an hour I still hadn’t seen any signposts. I decided to check if I was heading the right way, but it had been raining all morning and there was nobody around to ask. Finally, I found a tiny village with a grocery store, so I pulled over and went inside. An old woman, who’d been sleeping when I walked in, looked up in surprise. I guess I was the first person to enter the store that day.
“Can I help you?” she asks.
“Yeah, I hope so,” I say. “Can you tell me the quickest way to London?”
“Well,” says the woman, “are you walking, cycling, or driving?”
“Driving,” I say. “I have a car outside.”
“Good!” she says. “Driving’s definitely the quickest way!”
Was this some kind of joke? I looked at her face but all I could see was an innocent smile. “Thank you, ma’am,” I said and left. I made it to London and then took the quickest way home to Chicago — the plane!
