1. M: I’ve been in a band for months. On the weekends， we play from dusk till dawn. What do you think of my new job?
W: You’ll never make it. The city is cruel， and there are too many bands out there that are also trying to make it.
Q: What does the man do?
2. M: Hello， Arts Centre. Peter speaking. How can I help you?
W: Listen， actually I wanted to buy five tickets for tomorrow’s show， but after ten minutes’ waiting， I got disconnected.
M: I’m sorry， Madam. We’re having problems with the line.
Q: Why did the woman get disconnected?
3. W: Welcome to the Square Hotel. Your room is on the second floor.
M: Thank you， Madam. Could you tell me where the dining room is?
W: Yes， it’s just down the corridor on your room’s left.
Q: Where is the dining room?
4. W: I’ll never take my car downtown again.
M: Did you get another ticket, Sue, or couldn’t you find a parking space?
W: I wish it was just that. My car was broken into.
Q: Why is Sue upset according to the conversation?
5. M: Hello. Is Mr. Davidson here， please? This is Lin Tao speaking.
W: I’m sorry he is on holiday in Paris this week. Would you like to leave a message?
M: Yes， please. Tell him to give me a call before I leave London for New York.
Q: Where is Mr. Davidson now?
