Section C
Directions: In section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you hear.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation: W: Hello, Merry Travel Agency. How may we help you?
M: Hi, I am thinking of planning a short trip to Barbados and I am viewing the sale package on your website.
W: Sure, sir. It’s a new promotion package we have just released, priced down from 800 dollars to just 550 dollars.
M: Sounds good. So what does the package include?
W: It includes a round flight trip from here to Bridgetown, the capital city of Barbados. M: And does it cover accommodation?
W: Yes, three days’ accommodation in a three-star hotel. M: Great. And how about sightseeing?
W: I am afraid the sightseeing fees in Barbados are not included. But we can recommend a local tour guide to you if you need. Of course you have to pay the fees yourself. M: I see. How about the visa? Does the package cover visa application fees? W: Yes we do but you have to present your proof of property and bank guarantees. M: OK, and…
Questions 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. W: Hey Jack. You look excited. What’s up?
M: I am going to a Criss Angel Show tomorrow night. That’s why I am so excited. W: Wow, Criss Angel. It’s said that he is the greatest magician in today’s America.
M: I agree. It’s reported that he was given Decade Magic Award in 2009 and Century Magic Award in
2010 by the International Magicians Society.
W: What great honors! But how did he rise to fame in the first place?
M: I guess it’s in 2002 when he spent 24 hours locked underwater in a small water cell in Times
Square. Upon appearing from the water tank, he was hurried to hospital for high fever. From that day on, every American has known him.
W: I know he also performed in Las Vegas, right?
M: Yes, he named the show Criss Angel Believe and the show received mixed comments at beginning. Later Criss improved it by reducing talk elements which made the show a pure magic show. The show attracts an estimated $150 million in ticket sales every year.
