James： Yes； Thank you。
Steve： Would you tell me what's going on？ I'm dying of curiously。
James： I met Mr。 Barnes this morning and we had a very interesting talk about the Wangaccount。
Steve： What did he say？
James： Well； first of all； you are looking at a new Executive Director in charge of the
Wang account development team。
Steve： Are you serious？ Congratulations James； you really deserve it。 Wow！ An executiveposition； I can't believe it。
James： That's not all。 Mr。 Barnes thinks that what this account really needs is not onlytechnical support / but a new promotional strategy to emphasize the strengths of oursoftware and Wang's operating systems。 My new job is to put together and supervise team/ to continue technical development and support。 In addition； as I just mentioned； the teamwill have to e up with a new and innovative marketing strategy for the product。
Steve： That all sounds great； James。 I'm really happy for you。 If I ｛had｝ been just a littlemore of a team player； perhaps Mr。 Barnes would ｛of｝ promoted me to the team as well。 Iguess I really missed my chance yesterday。
James： Well； that is what I wanted to talk to you about over lunch today。 Even thoughthings didn't go that well for you yesterday； I understand why it happened。 I know howmuch stress you ｛have｝ been under at work to bring in a big contract。
Steve： To be honest； I haven't been sleeping very well because of the stress。
James： Also； I remember how much you helped me when I first joined the pany。 Thatis why I want you to be my right hand man on the new team。 Mr。 Barnes authorized me tooffer you the Assistant Executive Director's position。
Steve： You're not joking； are you？ You are being serious with me？
James： I'm being totally serious。
Steve： I can't believe it。 This is the chance I've been waiting for。 But； I don't understand。Yesterday Mr。 Barnes looked like he was ready to fire me。 What changed his mind？
James： I don't think he was really that mad at you。 But he did ask me who I wanted to besecond hand mand on my team / and I said that I wanted you。
Steve： After yesterday you would still do this for me？
James： Like I said before； I understand why you acted the way you did yesterday。 I alsoneed your advertising expertise on the team。
Steve： I don't know what to say。 This is the promotion I've been waiting for。
James： Congratulations； Steve。

Tape 2 A Day in the Life of a College Student~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 1 Waking Up Late
（Charles and Mike are roommates in a college dormitory。）
Charles： Mike； don't you have a class at noon？
Mike： Huh？
Charles： I said it's eleven forty…two； and you have a history class at twelve。
Mike： What？ Eleven forty…two？ Why didn't you wake me up earlier？
Charles： Because I am not your mother。 And because； if you must know； I had an Englishliterature class until eleven。
Mike： （Crawling out of bed。） Yeah； whatever； it's my fault anyway。 I shouldn't be outdrinking till three AM when I have class the next morning。
Charles： Oh； you finally figured that out； huh？ By the way； that's exactly what you saidlast Thursday morning when you got up late。 You're hopeless。
Mike： I thought we decided that you weren't my mother。 Are you finished with yourlecture？
Charles： Yes。 And you are going to be late for yours if you're not careful。 It is alreadyeleven fifty…three。
Mike： Eleven fifty…three？！ Quit talking with me or I'll never get ready。 Have you seen myAmerican history textbook？
Charles： 。。。。。
Mike： I asked you a question！
Charles： I thought you told me to quit talking to you； something about making you late。
Mike： Okay； okay； I'm sorry。 Where is the book？
Charles： It's right over there on your desk。
Mike： （Grabbing the book and running for the door。） You bastard。
Charles： You're wele。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 2 A History Lecture
（Sitting down in the back of the lecture hall。）
Mike： I thought for sure I'd be late。
Sarah： Hey； Mike。 You are late。 But so is Professor Clark。 He's getting old。 Maybe heforgot about class today。
Mike： We should be so lucky。 No； I'm just happy that he's later than me。 I was reallyworried。
Sarah： Oh； here he es。
（Entering from the front the room and walking up to the podium。）
Prof。 Clark： Good morning； class； or should I say good afternoon？ Twelve o'clock classesalways confuse me。 In any case； let's begin today's lecture。 Today I want to speak aboutthe American Civil War； which I am assuming all of you read about last week in a bookby Huntington。 The Civil War can be analyzed in many ways； but today I want to discussit as a result of economics。 The Northern United States industrialized rather early and hadlittle need for slave labor in their society。 The southern states； on the other hand； had aneconomy based on agriculture； particularly cotton。 This caused a much higher demand forslaves to supply manual labor in the fields。 Eventually this fundamental differenceeconomic structures led to a difference in ideology。 And； as ideological differences oftendo； this led to a conflict which eventually resulted in war。 In this way； the Civil War is notunlike the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union； which was alsolargely caused by differing economic systems。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 3 Brunch
