Long Conversation 1
W: Hi, Tom!
M: Judy.   I haven't seen you in weeks.   Where have you been?
W: In Florida.
M: What vacationing! While the rest of us studying on the campus in February cold?
W: Not exactly.   I spent most of my time under water.
M: I don't understand.
W: I was on a special field trip.   I went with my marine biology class.
M: So you went scuba diving.   What were you looking for? Sunken treasure? ,   ,
W: You might say so. The sea's full of treasures. All kinds of strange fascinating organisms. Our class concentrated on studying plankton.
M: I found plankton were too small to be seen.
W: That's a common misconception. The term plankton covers a wild variety of freely flowing plants and animals, from microscopic one cell organisms to larger ones, such as the common jellyfish.
M: Jellyfish may be large enough to be seen.   But they are transparent, aren't they?
W: Yes, most planktons have transparent tissues as protected camouflage, it makes them practi¬cally invisible to predators.
M: But not invisible to your biology class, I hope.
W: By concentrating, I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plankton plants and ani¬mals. In fact, our professor even took photographs of gastropods, which are small oceanic snails.
M: How would the snails show up in the photographs of their transparence?
W: We scoured it with harmless green dye since particles of the dyes stuck to their tissues, the snails appeared in green outline in the photographs.
M: That sounds like an interesting trip. But I think if I'd been in Florida in February, I'd much rather spend my time just swimming and lying in the sun.
Q 19: Why was the woman in Florida?
Q 20: Where did the woman spend most of her time while she was in Florida?
Q 21: What is NOT true about plankton according to the woman?

M: What's what?
W: Lift up your arm.  What's this?
M: Oh, that. Uh, that's a grocery list.   I've got to pick up some things on my way home.
W: Do you really expect me to believe that?
M: Well, that's what it is.
W: (reading) Soren Kierkegaard, Denmark, 1800s, Hegel, Germany, Sartre, Paris, 1900s... An interesting "grocery" list, Mr. Jackson.
M: Oh, gee, let me see that.  Oh, my gosh, they must be my notes.  How did they get here?
W: I'd like to see you in my office, please. ( They leave the classroom and go to the office down the hall. ) Now, Richard, would you care to explain how the answers to the test questions ap¬peared on your desk?
