[Q]: M: Next week I'm going to New York to sign a business contract. What would you suggest I see while I'm there? ,F: You should definitely see the UN Building and from there, you could walk over to Broadway and see a movie or drama. ,M: How about New York's universities? I'm especially interested in learning about their schools there and the courses they offer. ,F: Columbia University and New York University are two of the best schools in the city. I'm sure they offer excellent courses. ,M: Do you have a map of the city? ,F: Yes, I have one right here in fact. I can give you this one but I'd also suggest that you stop at the visitor's office near the train station. They will have good up-to-date maps and they can give you more tourist information about the city.

[Q]: F: What are you looking for? ,M: I smell fresh baked bread. Did you just make some bread? ,F: Yes, but don't touch it yet. It just came out of the oven and needs about 20 minutes to cool down. ,M: I don't want it cool. I wanted hot from the oven. ,F: No, don't touch it. It's really still baking inside when it comes out. It needs time to finish. The bread will be too soft and sticky inside if you break it open now. ,M: But that's the way I like it. Hot and soft, hmm... I'll just take a small piece. ,F: Fine. If you like it that way, go ahead. But it's much better after it rests for a while. ,M: Don't worry. I'll eat it that way, too. Are we gonna have breakfast soon? What's cooking? ,F: Your favorite: fried eggs and sausage with mushrooms and onions. Why don't you go set the table for me and then make the coffee? The food should be ready in 10 minutes. Oh, put three plates out there, please. We have a visitor coming for breakfast. ,M: Who? ,F: My sister Kay.
(A) M: That's surprising. I haven't seen your sister for a long time. (B) M: It's too late for your sister to come to our home to eat the dinner. (C) M: I’m sorry, I didn’t understand. Could you repeat a little louder, please? (D) M: Ok, I can wait another 30 minutes for food, but our friend can't wait.
