【答案解析】[解析] 35-39 Narrator: Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a librarian. Librarian: Hi, how can I help you? Student: {{U}}Hi, I'm looking for some material on reserve for Business 210.{{/U}} Q35 Librarian: Okay. Well, who's the professor? You see, we keep the files under the professor's name because there are a couple of sections and the requirements are a little different... Student: Oh, okay. It's, uh, Dr. Parsons. Librarian: Umhum. Parsons? I don't see any books... Student: I think it's a DVD. Librarian: Oh, yes. Here it is... Oh, wait, actually, there are two of them. But that's all right. Now all I need is your student ID. Student: No problem. Librarian: There you go. Now, these will be due back at the desk in two hours. Student: Two hours? But that won't even give me time to go home and... Librarian: Oh, you can't leave the library with reserve materials. You have to use them here. But we have some DVD players in the booths behind the reference section. I think there are several free now. Student: {{U}}But I have to take notes and, uh, uh, I don't think I can get everything done in two hours.{{/U}} Librarian: Well, you can't take materials out again until someone else has used them because the professor only left one copy of each. Sorry. Look, maybe two hours will be enough. Student: I don't think so. {{U}}These are case studies, and we're supposed to be able to discuss{{/U}} Q36 {{U}}them.{{/U}} Librarian: Oh, I see. Well, when do you have class? Student: Tomorrow morning. I know I should have come in earlier, but this isn't my only class. I had an exam earlier today, and I was just waiting to get that out of the way. Librarian: I see. Well, look, why don't you... Student: Isn't there any way to get an exception to the policy? Librarian: I'm afraid not. Student: Oh. Okay then, let me just check out one of the DVDs. That way, if I finish it, I can check out the other one for two hours, right? Librarian:Sure. That's perfectly fine. And, here's a thought. {{U}}I don't know if it wilt work for you since{{/U}} Q37 {{U}}you have a morning class, but if you checkout reserve material less than two hours{{/U}} {{U}}before the library closes, then you can have it overnight...{{/U}} Q38 Student: {{U}}Overnight?{{/U}} Librarian: Yes, but you have to have it back when the library opens the next day and... Student: But I could do that. Oh, I'm sorry, you were going to say... Librarian: Well, if you don't return the material to the reserve desk when the library opens, then there's a ten-dollar fine for the first hour and a five-dollar fine for every hour after that... that it's late, I mean. The usual fee is one dollar for every hour but when it's an overnight... Student: Ouch. Librarian: It's a stiff fine because we need students to take the privilege seriously. Otherwise, other students who need to use the reserve materials wouldn't have access to them. Student: Oh, I understand. Librarian: And another thing. Sometimes more than one person is trying to use the overnight privilege so... so sometimes when you wait until the end of the day... Student: Oh. And there isn't any way to put your name on a list or anything? Librarian: No, not really. It's first come, first served. Student: Okay. Okay. Then, I think I'll go ahead and take the one DVD out now because I can still try to get the second one tonight overnight, can't I? Librarian: Sure. {{U}}I tell you what, Come back a little before nine.{{/U}} Q39 Student: {{U}}Okay, Will you be here? I mean, I'drather come back to you.{{/U}} Librarian: {{U}}I'll be here until the library closes.{{/U}} Student: Well, then. Librarian: Do you still want to take out one of the DVDs? Student: Yeah. I might as well get one of them out of the way so I'll only have one left to watch. Librarian: Wait a minute. Your ID. Student: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I showed it to you. Librarian: You did, but I need to keep it here at the desk until you return the materials. Material for a class--Business 210, taught by Dr. Parsons.
