II. Basic Listening Practice
1. Script
W: What’s that? Is it a toy? Did it get chewed by a dog?
M: Hey, that’s my mascot! My uncle gave it to me when I was five, and it’s been with me ever since. It brought me luck in all my college exams. I can’t bring myself to part with it.
Q: What does the man say about his lucky charm?
2. Script
W: Wish me luck; I’ve got a job interview this afternoon. I’m really nervous.
M: Stay calm, best of luck! I’ve got my finger crossed for you.
Q: What does the woman say he has crossed his fingers for the woman?
3. Script
W: Oh no! Did you see that black cat walk right in front of me? That’s unlucky!
M: Really? I guess it depends on where you come from. In my hometown it’s the opposite: It’s lucky to see a black cat cross your path. So no need to worry!
Q: What do the man and the woman think about a black cat crossing their path?
4. Script
M: Guess what I did this morning? I smashed my mirror. A great way to start the day!
W: Oh no, seven years’ bad luck, isn’t it?
Q: What happened in the morning?
5. Script
M: I can’t believe this rain; it’s been pouring for hours! Where can I dry my umbrella?
W: Not in here please! It’s unlucky to open an umbrella indoors. You can put it on the porch.
Q: Where does the woman ask the man do to open his umbrella?

III. Listening In
Task 1: David Copperfield is coming.

W: My brother is going to pick up some tickers for the David Copperfield show. You interested in coming with us?
M: I don’t know. I’ve been card tricks before, and rabbits from hats. I even do tricks myself—watch me change this coin into an ice cream cone.
W: Very funny. David Copperfield is the world’s greatest magician; he’s certainly worth a look.
M: Actually, I have seen him on television. He pulls off some pretty amazing stunts. I wish I knew how he performed his tricks. Then I could also make a person float in the air. I could pull a rabbit out of my hat. I could escape from a straitjacket and handcuffs—all underwater. And I could saw a woman in half.
W: A magician never tells his secrets. David attempts the impossible and no one has any idea how he does it. I saw him on TV when he walked through the Great Wall of China.
M: How could he do that?
W: I have no idea, but I know what I saw: He entered a canvas shelter on one side of the wall, and he came out of a canvas shelter on the other side.
M: yes, bur was he always in full view of the camera, or did they cut to a commercial or something else?
W: Not only was the camera running all the time, but he was hooked up a heart monitor, and you could track his progress as he moved through the wall.
M: It’s difficult to know what to believe. I know it’s not possible for him to do that, but…
W: It sounds to me like it’s a show worth watching.
M: Count me in. Instead of an ice cream cone, I’ll turn my money into a ticket.
