B．One of the legs of the desk was shorter than the other three, producing an unbalanced writing surface.

C．The auction house specializes in selling antique furniture, which is generally valued more highly than the discarded furniture sold at garage sales.

D．Brad insisted that anyone who bought the desk had to use it as an actual workspace.

E．Prospective buyers at auctions are often more interested in the auction process than in the items up for bid.

听力原文：W: Hi, Mark! How is it going？

M: Well, not so great. W: What's wrong？

M: I've got a big problem with the poetry course that's required for my major.

W: Is that all filled up？

M: No, no, there is plenty of room, but there is a prerequisite. I've got to take an introduction to poetry before I can take the special course in poets of the 1960s and the introductory courses only offered in the evenings.

W: You don't like evening classes？

M: No, that's not the point. I work in the cafeteria every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.

W: Can you ask someone that work to switch hours with you？ Maybe you could just switch a couple of evenings, since the course probably only meets two times a week.

M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings, and he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.

W: Wait a minute! I have an idea. Have you checked the courses over at the community college？ They might offer introductory poetry course during the day.

M: Hey! That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I think I'll go over and check it out.

W: Yeah, their courses are actually cheaper and you can transfer the credits over here.

M: Thanks for the advice, Linda. I'll let you know what happens.

W: Sure, Mark! Good luck! Oh, while you are there, can you find out when their pool is open？

M: No problem!

听力原文：M: Hi, Christi, I brought you some tea. W: Thanks, Mark. Too bad it' s not apple

听力原文：M: Hi, Christi, I brought you some tea.

W: Thanks, Mark. Too bad it' s not apple tea, like in Turkey.

M: Yeah, too bad! You really liked living in Turkey, didn't you？

W: Yeah, it was great. Turkish people are so warm and generous.

M: How do you like the food in Turkey, Christi？

W: Oh, the food was fantastic ! But you know what I couldn't get used to？ How much people expected me to eat, I gained so much weight while I was living there!

M: Yes, it' s so polite to be generous. We think people aren' t polite if they don' t offer a lot of food.

W: I know. I also learned that it' s not polite for the guest to accept the offer of food at first.

M: Yes, that' s definitely tree! If you' re the guest, you must refuse the first two offers of food.

W: The first time I had dinner at a Turkish home, I felt rode refusing food. So I ate everything. And I kept on eating. . , and eating. Every time the host offered me something, I ate it.

M: Do you know how to stop the host from offering you food？ You must leave some food on your plate. That way the host knows that yon' re full.

W: Oh, is that the trick？ In the United States, we usually eat everything. You don' t want the host to think that you don' t like the food.

M: That is a difference. You know what happened to me the first time I had dinner at an American home？ When my hostess offered me a second helping of food, I said" no" the first time, to be polite. But she didn't offer again! I was still hungry when I left the house!

W: Americans think it' s not polite to insist. We don' t want to force you to eat more if you don' t want more. So if you say" no" the first time, we believe what you say and we don' t offer again.

M: I learned that lesson the hard way. Now if someone asks me if I want something, I say "yes" the frost time -- even though I feel rude.

W: Would you like something to eat？

M: No, no, I am not hungry.

W: Ha, ha.

A．The man is from the United States and the woman is from Turkey.
