12 Было бы интересно узнать, кто послал эту открытку.
(Narrator) This is the end of Part A.
Now listen to the directions for Part В while they are being read to you.
P a r t В
First learn the words and word combinations by heart given below:
1) outrageous [ ] неистовый, жестокий, возмутительный; оскорбительный
2) pot [ ] – горшок, котелок, (pl.) куча денег, марихуана (разг.); приз
3) kernel [ ] – зерно, ядро (ореха)
DIRECTIONS: In this part of the test, you will hear longer conversations. After each conversation, you will
hear several questions. The conversations and questions will not be repeated.
(Narrator) Questions below refer to the following dialogue about popcorn.
(Man) Even if we are going to stay home to watch the movie, we should still make popcorn.
That way, we can have it like we would in a movie theater without having to bother with driving, parking,
and paying the outrageous ticket prices.
(Woman) What a great idea! But we don't have a popcorn popper.
(Man) No problem. All we need is a cooking pot and a little oil. You can pop popcorn in anything that
you can heat up to four hundred degrees. That's how the settlers did it before poppers even existed. Actually
air corn poppers are best, and they don't cost much.
(Woman) Oil adds calories. Without oil, you can have as much of it as you want. Not only does it taste
good, it's also good for you.
(Man) We can't do without oil. We'll have burned corn kernels, not popped. Oil heats the corn kernel
and makes the moisture turn to steam and burst.
(Woman) All right, but don't add a lot of it. It's amazing how much bigger the popped corn is compared to
the kernel. I read somewhere that popped corn is thirty to forty times larger. Just imagine that!
(Man) Here, have some. And you said we needed a corn popper.
(Narrator)
