SECTION B INTERVIEW

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：Susan: Hi, Susan. Where were you at lunchtime？ I was saving a seat for you in the cafeteria.

Prof: Hall: Oh, sorry to miss you. But my thirst for knowledge was greater than my pangs of hunger.

Susan: I never had that problem. So where were you？

Prof: Hall: My political science class ran overtime.

Susan: That's been happening quite a bit lately, hasn't it？

Prof: Hall: I guess so. Actually, what happens is that a bunch of us hang around for a while after class to talk with our professor and ask him questions.

Susan: Who is this twentieth century Socrates？

Prof: Hall: Professor Hall. Have you heard of him？

Susan: Yes. He does have a good reputation in the political science department.

Prof: Hall: And a well deserved one. The same students who fall asleep in discussion groups and seminars fight for front row seats in his lectures.

Susan: Oh no! I hope this isn't catching.

Prof: Hall: You can joke, but it's great to have a professor who's not only interesting but prepared to give up time for students.

Susan: I know. They're of a rare breed. Maybe I should sit in on his class sometime. Do you think he'd care？

Prof: Hall: Not at all. Lots of students bring their friends and he says he feels flattered.

Susan: Well, just to be safe, I think I'll bring my lunch along as well.

Prof: Hall: I'll make a good student of you yet.
