Patient: Hi. Dr. Hyde? Dentist: So, what's seems to be the problem today? Patient: Well, I just came in for a check up and a dental cleaning. Dentist: Hum. Open up. Let's take a look ... Patient: Okay. Uh ... Dentist: Hummmm. [Humm? Uh?] Wow! I've never seen one like THIS before. Let me try this. Patient: Uhhh ... Ouhhhh [Man screaming in pain ...] Dentist: Well, besides a lot of plaque buildup, there is a major cavity in one of your wisdom teeth. [I feel that.] Hasn't this given you any trouble? Patient: Well, the tooth has been bothering me, and it sometimes hurts when I drink something cold. Does it look that bad? Dentist: Well, we're going to remove the decay, and then we'll either put a filling in, or if the decay is extensive, we can't repair it, we might have to put a crown on your tooth. Or as a last resort, we may have to extract the tooth. Patient: Uh, well, that sounds painful! Dentist: Don't worry. I've done this ... once before. [Huh?] Nah, just relax. Patient: Wait! Aren't you suppose to give me something to dull the pain? Dentist: Uh, chicken. Oh yeah. I almost forgot. We can either use a local anesthetic or nitrous oxide ... laughing gas... to minimize the discomfort you might feel. Or you can just grin and bear it. Patient: Nah, Nah, nah! Put me under! [I thought so.] I can't stand pain, and I'd rather not be aware of what's going on. And, if I need a filling, can I get one that looks like my other teeth? Dentist: If we can save the tooth with a filling, I recommend a high-strength silver alloy filling instead of a porcelain one. It'll probably last longer. Patient: Okay, well whatever. Let's get it over with. Dentist: Okay, pleasant dreams. Drill please., Question: When does the man feel discomfort?

W: Hi, David. Haven't seen you for ages. How are you getting along with your work? M: Hi, Susan. Not so well as expected. I've left my position. I can't bear the rudeness of my boss any longer. W: What are you going to do then? M: No idea. Anyway, I've got to think about it seriously. And you? W: I've been very successful as a dancer. I like this kind of life. It is so exciting. M: You can't do it for ever. W: No, but I've decided to open a dance school once I've moved to the top. A lot of young dancers need better training, don't they? M: That's a wonderful idea., Question: What is the man going to do? (A) He is going to a dancing school. (B) He is going to run a dancing school. (C) He is going to find a new job.

M: I think that intermarriage is a good idea. After all, we are living in a cosmopolitan country. We have so many different races living together peacefully, don't we? It is nothing new to us, and I feel that inter- marriage will work out W: Personally, I feel that it is not a very sound idea. It is difficult for two people of entirely different religions to live and share life together. They will face so many problems that it would be better if they don't get married in the first place. M: Of course there will be problems. Even two people of the same religion have problems. It is the same in this case. except that it will be slightly more difficult, I guess. W: I agree with you, Henry. Naturally, there will be arguments and personal differences. Marriage thrives on a give-and-take policy, so a couple will have to learn to adapt to each other's customs and traditions. M: That's right. Married people should be more tolerant towards each other and be willing to learn about each other's religion. Only then can understanding and acceptance be achieved ultimately. W: You talk as if it were very simple. It isn't, you know. I should know. as I am a child of a mixed marriage. M: All right, you tell us why is is not such a good idea. W: You see, Henry, it depends on the individuals concerned. If two people of different religions marry, they should be prepared for the consequences. It is only after marriage that the vast differences in the cultures begin to show. Little things, from food and clothes to bigger aspects like religious beliefs, tend to clash, leading eventually to a rift. Besides. there will be either personal pride or the reluctance to accept the other's views. It may lead to a big gap between the parents, and their children may suffer a lot in between. M: You have a point there. but I can also tell you of several such couples who are living happily together. W: I suppose that you are right. Intermarriage can lead to happiness or sorrow, depending on how it is handled., Question: Which word may best describe the two speakers' positions on intermarriage? (A) Comparison. (B) Contrast. (C) Casuality.

(B) Contrast.
