answer sheet.
The conversations will be spoken only one time and will not be printed in your test
book.
Questions 41 through 43 refer to the following conversation.
Sandra, I'm expecting a new client, Mr. Daniels at 3 o'clock.
Could you send him in when he arrives, please?
I'm afraid I can, sir.
All visitors to the building must now sign in at the front desk when they arrive
and be accompanied up to the offices by an employee.
Really? When did these new rules take effect?
Last week, it's part of the firm's new security measures.
Number 41. Where does the man want to meet his client?
Number 42. What does Sandra probably do?
Number 43. Why must visitors sign in?
Questions 44 through 46 refer to the following conversation.
My goodness, the traffic out there is terrible today.
It took me almost 40 minutes to get here from my house.
Why don't you take the subway? It only takes about 15 minutes and there's a station
close to your house.
That makes sense. I'll do that until the new expressway is completed next month.
Well, I read in the paper this morning that construction on the expressway has been
delayed.
Number 44. Why is the man late?
Number 45. How will the man probably get to work the next day?

Question 47 through 49 refer to the following conversation.
The interviews for the new shift position are over. They've hired someone and he
starts on Monday.
I heard that he used to work at the Empress Hotel Kitchen. That's a really nice
place. Why is he coming here?
We offered him a small raise and total control of the menu.
The assistant chef has always done our menu planning. This might be a problem.
Number 47. When will the new chef begin work there?
Number 48. Why is the new chef coming to work here?
Number 49. What is the woman concerned about?
Questions 50 through 52 refer to the following conversation.
Hey, have you been watching TV at all this evening? I heard Mark was on the 6
o'clock news. Did you see him?
Yeah, I thought the interview went really well. He looked really comfortable in
front of a microphone.
I had to work late at the office so I missed it. I'd really like to see it though.
Do you think they'll replay the broadcast?
I think the network will air it again at 10.
Number 50. What are they talking about?
Number 51. When was the interview first broadcast?
Number 52. Why didn't the man see the interview?
Question 53 through 55 refer to the following conversation.
Hey, you really looked down on the dumps. What's the matter?
I feel awful. My presentation at the seminar was absolutely terrible. All the work
I did went right down the drain.
But you spent ages preparing for that presentation. What went wrong?
My laptop wouldn't work so I couldn't use any of my visual aids on the projector.
My supervisor looked really disappointed.
Number 53. What made the woman feel awful?
Number 54. What problem did the woman have?
Number 55. Who is most likely the man?
Questions 56 through 58 refer to the following conversation.
So this is Dylan's birthday cake. It looks great. Where did you get it from?
I didn't buy this. I made it myself.
You're kidding. Wow. I didn't know you could do this. Where did you learn how?
Back when I was in college, I had a part-time job at a local bakery.
Number 56. Why did the woman make a cake?
Number 57. What is the man surprised at?
Number 58. When did the woman work in a bakery?
Questions 59 through 61 refer to the following conversation.
I found these in the stock room the other day. They're duplicates of last year's
receipts.
We don't really need those anymore. We should probably get rid of them to make
space.
All right. I'm taking my lunch break in a few minutes. I'll throw them out as I
leave.
It might be a good idea to have a look through them first just to make sure that
there's nothing important in there.
Number 59. What did the man happen to find?
Number 60. What does the man offer to do about his findings?
Number 61. What does the woman plan to do?
Question 62 through 64 refer to the following conversation.
Let's just go over the payment scheme. Do I get half the money up front and half
when the job is finished?
No, you get a third now, a third when you start the job and the rest at the end.
That sounds fair. How long do I have to complete the work?
We're hoping that you can finish it in five or six weeks.
Number 62. What are they talking about?
Number 63. How much money will the man get when he starts the job?
Number 64. When does the woman want the work completed?
Questions 65 through 67 refer to the following conversation.
I was wondering if you could do me a favor and trade shifts with me this Friday?
My daughter has a piano recital I'd really like to go to.
I might be able to. It depends on what your hours are.
I've got the eight to four slot that day.
Oh, if it's a day shift then it's no problem at all. Just tell the supervisor about
the switch.
Number 65. What does the man want the woman to do?
Number 66. What is happening to him on Friday?

Hi, ma'am. I saw Maureen downstairs and he said you wanted to speak to me.
Yes, I need you to take a mop and bucket over to the refrigeration room. There's a
bit of a mess.
Why? Did somebody knock something over or spill something on the floor?
No, one of the generators blew out in the main cooling unit. All the ice is melting
so there's water all over the place.
Number 68. Where did this problem occur?
Number 69. Why is there water on the floor?
Number 70. Who is probably the man?
