　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　12. M: Well, Mrs. White, I’ve completed my examination and I’m happy to say that there’s nothing serious.

　　W: Don’t you think I should have X-rays?

　　W: My son is in the hospital. I must ask for a leave to take care of him.

　　Q: What happened to the woman?

　　W: Don’t worry. Let’s sit down and try to figure it out.

　　Q: What does the woman suggest?

　　15. W: Are you thinking of breaking off the relationship?

　　M: It’s probably just a matter of time. I really can’t put up with her.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　Q: What will the woman probably do?
