W: Jack, I hear you bought a new car. M: I did just buy a car, but it's not exactly a new one-it was made back in the 1950s. Here, take a look at this photo. W: You are right. This car hasn't been new for a long time. Couldn't you afford a newer car? M: Believe it or not, this car costs almost as much as a new one. W: Really? How could it be? M: Well, a lot of cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s have become collectors' items and are worth a lot of money. W: But this one doesn't seem to be in very good shape. M: The engine is still in good condition. I plan to fix up the interior and paint the car myself. Then it will be worth even more money. W: So then you'll resell it? M: No, I don't plan to resell it, but I might enter it in some classical auto shows. Maybe I'll win a prize., Question: Why did the car cost so much? (A) It is collector's favorite. (B) It is in very good shape. (C) It is a new car.
(A) It is collector's favorite.

W: Hi! Can I help you? M: Hi! Have you got any records of modern guitar music? W: We've got a lot of them. Which one are you looking for? M: I'm looking for some records of Julian Bream. I saw them in your window last week and I had them before in Canada, but I broke them. W: What happened? M: They were in my bag. I sat on my bag and broke the records. My sister told me about your shop. I came here last week and saw the records. W: Let's look for the records. Oh, yes, the records are there on the shelf. M: How much are those three?

M: The traffic is becoming worse and worse. I think there'll be huge changes in the ways people use cars. New laws will be made about what kind of car you can own and when you can drive. W: Maybe there'll just be too many of them on the roads. The air will be so seriously polluted that nobody will be able to breathe. M: Exactly. People will have to rely on trains. W: Why do you say that? M: Well, we won't be able to use cars, and airports take up too much space. That leaves trains. W: Huh. So do you think there'll be more efficient train systems between cities? M: Sure. They'll enable people to travel between cities in a matter of hours. There may even be trains going under the oceans to connect the main continents. W: Under the oceans? Oh, no! I get nervous enough flying on a plane., Question: What will too many cars lead to according to the woman? (A) Air pollution. (B) Traffic jam. (C) Oil shortage.
