  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。
  (Waitress brings the food and drinks。)
  Waitress: Here are your orders and your drinks。 Enjoy your meal。
  James/Steve: Thank you。
  Waitress: If there is anything else I can get you; please let me know。
  (James picks up his wine glass。)
  James: Let's make a toast to our new team。
  Steve: Cheers!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 23 Back at the Office

  Stacy: I'll be right there; Mr。 Goddard。

  Stacy: Yes; Mr。 Goddard。 Very much。
  James:  Well;  I  have  been  promoted  to  executive  position;  and  I'm  going  to  need  asecretary that can handle the pressure。 Do you think you can do the job? Of course therewould be a raise with the new job。
  Stacy:  Congratulations;  Mr。  Goddard!  That's  a  great  news!  Of  course  I  would  like  tocontinue to work for you in your new position。 And don't worry; I can handle it。

  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'
