know is looking back at me.
W = So, you got your hair cut, but you didn’t get the haircut that you wanted?
M = This is not even close to the haircut that I wanted. I asked to have my hair trimmed just a
little bit, and the hairstylist went to town. When I looked down at the floor, there were piles
of hair, my hair on the floor. I couldn’t believe it!
W = Well, what did you say to the hairstylist?
M = What could I say? The hair was already cut off. I couldn’t exactly say “Please put it back
on,” although that’s exactly what I did want I say.
W = Well, at least your hair grows back soon.
M = That’s what everyone is saying to me. “It’ll grow back, it’ll grow back”. But, it won’t

Questions 35 to 38
Listen to a conversation about a man’s great-grandmother
M = Man
W = Woman
M = I talked to my great-grandmother on the phone this morning.
W = Your great grand-mother? Do you talk with her often?
M = I try to call her at least once a week. She is really a wonderful woman and she’s over
eighty-five year old. I enjoyed talking to her because she is understanding and because she
gives me good advice.
W = What advice did she have for you today?
M = Hehe (laughs), she told me to be careful because a big storm is coming.
W = She said that a big storm is coming? Is she a weather forecaster?
M = Not exactly. She say that she can feel it in her bones when a storm is coming. I know it
sounds funny, but when she feels it in her bones that a storm is coming, she’s usually right.
W = That’s not actually so funny. When people get older, the tissue around their joints can
become stiff and swollen. Just before a storm, the air pressure often drops, and this drop in air
pressure can cause additional pressure and pain in swollen joints.
So when your great-grandmother tells you, she thinks a storms is coming, she probably has
some aching in her joints from the decreasing air pressure.
M = Then, I had better pay more attention into my great-grandmother’s weather forecast!

told me to be careful because a big storm is coming.”

= A. In her bones.
The answer is A because when he called his great-grandmother, his great-grandmother said
that she could feel the storm coming in her bones, and she felt it in her joints because of the
