W: Hi, Kaven. Your roommate told me that I could find you in the TV lounge. What are you doing here?
M: What does it look like I am doing?
W: Well, it looks like you are watching television, (8)but we have a linear algebra mid-term tomorrow, so I thought you’d be studying for it and maybe I can study with you.
M: Oh, well, I was just taking a break. This linear algebra stuff gives me a headache if I work on it too long.
W: I know what you mean. I’ve been working on it for three hours already. I’m beginning to go cross. I’d been thinking at the sample problems. I just don’t get some of them.
M: (9)But I can’t believe you are coming to me. I mean you do know what I got on the last test, don’t you?
W: Yeah, I know. You told me. I just thought two heads might be better than one.
M: Yeah, that’s a nice idea. But... you know, (10)I wish I knew that person in our class who got a hundred on the last test. She didn’t miss a question. Umm... was it Elizabeth?
W: (10)Oh yeah, Elizabeth! She is a friend of mine. She’d be a big help right now. Why don’t I give her a call?
M: (11)What! At this hour? It’s already ten thirty. I don’t wanna impose on her.
W: Yeah, I guess you are right. But you know what? She owes me a big favor. Let’s at least give her a call and see what she says. Maybe going over some of the problems with us would help her review the material.
M: It’s worth a try.
8. What’s the woman’s purpose of looking for the man?
9. Why is the man surprised that the woman wants to study linear algebra with him?
10. What do we know about Elizabeth according to the conversation?
11. Why doesn’t the man want to call Elizabeth?
