　　Section B

　　Conversation 1

　　W: So John, I hear you and Arthur share a job, don’t you?

　　M: Yes. We’ve shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now.

　　W: Well, how do you divide up your schedule?

　　M: You know we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone. When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday. I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday. I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question. But Arthur couldn’t answer the question and he couldn’t ask me about it because I wasn’t in the office. So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday. Of course, they didn’t like to wait until the next day to have their questions answered.

　　W: Yes, that sounds like a problem.

　　M: So, finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons. Now if someone calls with the question for me in the morning, Arthur tells them to call me in the afternoon. This way, people get their questions answered the same day.

　　W: What do you do about vacations?

　　M: Well, Sonatech gives the usual two weeks of vacation to full-time employees, I take a week and Arthur takes a week.

　　W: It sounds like job sharing has worked out well for you.

　　M: Yes, it has. We are both happy with it.

　　Q19. What do John and author do at Sonatech?

　　Q20. What problem did John and Arthur have when they started job sharing?

　　Q21. What does John say about their annual vacation?

　　Conversation 2

　　W: May I see your license, please?

　　M: But officer, did I do something wrong?

　　W: Do you mean to say you didn’t see the speed limit sign back there?

　　M: Um, no, madam, I guess I didn’t.

　　W: In other words, you drove by too fast to read it. The sign says 35m/h. A school is just nearby, you know?

　　M: Don’t get me wrong, but my speedometer didn’t read much faster than that.

　　W: Then, why is it that my radar showed you are going 45? Let me put it another way. I’m going to give you a ticket. Again, may I see your license, please?

　　M: Here it is, officer. But let me explain. I was late for an important appointment and I was worried that I wouldn’t make it on time. So...

　　W: Uha, just a minute, here. Your license is no longer valid. You should have renewed it two weeks ago. I’m going to have to write you up for that, too.

　　M: What? Really?

　　W: Your license becomes invalid on your birthday and that was two weeks ago according to the date here. You are in violation of the law—driving without a valid license.

　　M: I’m sorry, madam. I hadn’t realized that.

　　W: Here’s the ticket for not having a valid license. But I’m only going to give you a warning about exceeding the speed limit. Be careful next time.

　　M: Yes, madam, officer, I will. Thank you.

　　Q22. Where was the man stopped by the police officer?

　　Q23. What did the man claim about the speed limit sign?

　　Q24. What did the woman say about the man’s driving license?

　　Q25. What was the man’s penalty?
