James: Yes; Thank you。
Steve: Would you tell me what's going on? I'm dying of curiously。
James: I met Mr。 Barnes this morning and we had a very interesting talk about the Wangaccount。
Steve: What did he say?
James: Well; first of all; you are looking at a new Executive Director in charge of the
Wang account development team。
Steve: Are you serious? Congratulations James; you really deserve it。 Wow! An executiveposition; I can't believe it。
James: That's not all。 Mr。 Barnes thinks that what this account really needs is not onlytechnical support / but a new promotional strategy to emphasize the strengths of oursoftware and Wang's operating systems。 My new job is to put together and supervise team/ to continue technical development and support。 In addition; as I just mentioned; the teamwill have to e up with a new and innovative marketing strategy for the product。
Steve: That all sounds great; James。 I'm really happy for you。 If I {had} been just a littlemore of a team player; perhaps Mr。 Barnes would {of} promoted me to the team as well。 Iguess I really missed my chance yesterday。
James: Well; that is what I wanted to talk to you about over lunch today。 Even thoughthings didn't go that well for you yesterday; I understand why it happened。 I know howmuch stress you {have} been under at work to bring in a big contract。
Steve: To be honest; I haven't been sleeping very well because of the stress。
James: Also; I remember how much you helped me when I first joined the pany。 Thatis why I want you to be my right hand man on the new team。 Mr。 Barnes authorized me tooffer you the Assistant Executive Director's position。
Steve: You're not joking; are you? You are being serious with me?
James: I'm being totally serious。
Steve: I can't believe it。 This is the chance I've been waiting for。 But; I don't understand。Yesterday Mr。 Barnes looked like he was ready to fire me。 What changed his mind?
James: I don't think he was really that mad at you。 But he did ask me who I wanted to besecond hand mand on my team / and I said that I wanted you。
Steve: After yesterday you would still do this for me?
James: Like I said before; I understand why you acted the way you did yesterday。 I alsoneed your advertising expertise on the team。
Steve: I don't know what to say。 This is the promotion I've been waiting for。
James: Congratulations; Steve。

Tape 2 A Day in the Life of a College Student~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 1 Waking Up Late
(Charles and Mike are roommates in a college dormitory。)
Charles: Mike; don't you have a class at noon?
Mike: Huh?
Charles: I said it's eleven forty…two; and you have a history class at twelve。
Mike: What? Eleven forty…two? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?
Charles: Because I am not your mother。 And because; if you must know; I had an Englishliterature class until eleven。
Mike: (Crawling out of bed。) Yeah; whatever; it's my fault anyway。 I shouldn't be outdrinking till three AM when I have class the next morning。
Charles: Oh; you finally figured that out; huh? By the way; that's exactly what you saidlast Thursday morning when you got up late。 You're hopeless。
Mike: I thought we decided that you weren't my mother。 Are you finished with yourlecture?
Charles: Yes。 And you are going to be late for yours if you're not careful。 It is alreadyeleven fifty…three。
Mike: Eleven fifty…three?! Quit talking with me or I'll never get ready。 Have you seen myAmerican history textbook?
Charles: 。。。。。
Mike: I asked you a question!
Charles: I thought you told me to quit talking to you; something about making you late。
Mike: Okay; okay; I'm sorry。 Where is the book?
Charles: It's right over there on your desk。
Mike: (Grabbing the book and running for the door。) You bastard。
Charles: You're wele。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 2 A History Lecture
(Sitting down in the back of the lecture hall。)
Mike: I thought for sure I'd be late。
Sarah: Hey; Mike。 You are late。 But so is Professor Clark。 He's getting old。 Maybe heforgot about class today。
Mike: We should be so lucky。 No; I'm just happy that he's later than me。 I was reallyworried。
Sarah: Oh; here he es。
(Entering from the front the room and walking up to the podium。)
Prof。 Clark: Good morning; class; or should I say good afternoon? Twelve o'clock classesalways confuse me。 In any case; let's begin today's lecture。 Today I want to speak aboutthe American Civil War; which I am assuming all of you read about last week in a bookby Huntington。 The Civil War can be analyzed in many ways; but today I want to discussit as a result of economics。 The Northern United States industrialized rather early and hadlittle need for slave labor in their society。 The southern states; on the other hand; had aneconomy based on agriculture; particularly cotton。 This caused a much higher demand forslaves to supply manual labor in the fields。 Eventually this fundamental differenceeconomic structures led to a difference in ideology。 And; as ideological differences oftendo; this led to a conflict which eventually resulted in war。 In this way; the Civil War is notunlike the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union; which was alsolargely caused by differing economic systems。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 3 Brunch
(Class ends and Sarah and Mike walk out of the building。)
Sarah: Mike; would you like to have lunch?
Mike: I'
