11. M: The view is spectacular. Could you take a picture of me with the mountains in the background?
W: I'm afraid I just ran out of film.
Q: What does the woman mean?
12. W:It has always been hard to get this car into first gear, and now the clutch seems to be slipping.
M:If you leave the car with me, I will fix it for you this afternoon.
Q:Who is the woman probably speaking to?
13. M: Can I borrow your calculus textbook? I left mine in the classroom. And it was gone when I went back.
W: That happened to me once. I'd almost given up on finding it until I checked at the lost-and-found at the information desk downstairs in the lobby.
Q: What does the woman imply about the man should do?
14. M: I'm really having trouble with this literature course. If I can't start doing better soon, I'm going to have to drop it.
W: Why don't you get some help from the graduate assistant? That's what he's there for.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
15. W: I've been working on this report all day. And I've still got 12 pages to write. At this rate, I'll never get it done by tomorrow.
M: Oh, that's right. You weren't in class today, so you probably haven't heard that the deadline’s been extended a week.
Q: What does the man imply?
16. W: I don't think I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy.
M: I know what you mean. But check out the cost of renting an apartment first, I wouldn't be surprised if you changed your mind.
