Heather和Jeremy是高中同學，倆人一起上數(shù)學課。在上課前的幾分鐘，他們聊了起來。

Professor: That's right, Winnie. Say, what do students in my class talk about before I arrive?

Professor, 我們都在聊您有多好啊......當然了，如果您不給我們留作業(yè)，就更好了!

Professor: Really? Well, it's better to be feared than loved!

Jeremy: Hi Heather. Did you have a nice weekend?

Heather: Hi Jeremy. Yes, I had a really great weekend. How was your weekend?

Jeremy: It was great! I got to have fun on Saturday and Sunday because we didn't have any homework.

Heather: Yes we did! We had to read our math textbook and do some math problems. Did you forget?

Jeremy: Oh no, I forgot to do the homework! I hope there isn't a pop quiz.

Jeremy和Heather談到剛過去的周末。Jeremy說他周末玩兒得很痛快，因為學校沒留作業(yè)。可其實并不是這樣，是他忘記作業(yè)了！

Professor: That's right Winnie. And what was the homework?

Heather提醒說，作業(yè)是看math textbook - 數(shù)學書，然后do some problems - 作一些練習題。對了Professor, Jeremy說，希望今天沒有pop quiz，這是什么呢？

Professor: A pop quiz is a quiz that the teacher did not tell you about beforehand.

哦，pop quiz就是隨堂測驗，也就是事先沒有通知學生，突然進行的小測驗！ Jeremy沒看書也沒作題，要是有pop quiz，他就慘啦!

Heather: You didn't do the homework? Yeah, you will definitely fail if there is a pop quiz.

Jeremy: I know! How much time do I have to cram?

Heather: Well, class starts in five minutes. I don't think that's enough time.

Jeremy: You're right. Can I just copy your answers?

Heather也說，如果老師給他們pop quiz, Jeremy一定會fail - 不及格。

Professor: That's right. So what does Jeremy ask Heather?

Jeremy問她還有多長時間才上課，這樣他可以cram - 突擊準備一下。

Professor: Correct. "Cramming" is studying a lot of information in a short period of time. For example, "It's best to start studying for the test early so that you don"t have to cram the night before.

沒錯?？上В€有5 分鐘就上課了。cramming也來不及了。所以Jeremy想出最后一招，copy Heather's answers - 抄Heather的作業(yè)!

Heather: You want me to give you the answers? I think that's cheating.

Jeremy: Cheating? Of course not. Just pretend you are my tutor.

Heather: I don't know, Jeremy. I worked hard to do those problems. Why should I just give you the answers?

Jeremy: Because if you do, I will invite you to my party this weekend.

Heather不愿意讓Jeremy抄自己的答案，她說這是cheating - 作弊!

Professor: That's right, Winnie. What does Jeremy say?

Jeremy說，Heather應該把自己當成他的tutor - 家庭教師，這樣，給他抄答案就理所當然了！對了，Professor Bowman, tutor這個詞可以當動詞么？

Professor: Yes. For example, if you aren't good at math, you should find someone to tutor you in math.

我明白了，tutor當動詞就是“給別人輔導”的意思。Jeremy想賄賂Heather，說如果Heather讓他抄作業(yè)，他就請Heather參加周末的派對。

Heather: Really? You will invite me to your party this weekend?

Jeremy: Yes. All the coolest people come to my parties.

Heather: I know! They sound like a lot of fun.

Jeremy: So, will you help me?

Heather: Well ... OK. But change one or two of the answers so we don't turn in the same homework.

Jeremy: Great!

??？ Heather就這樣投降啦？為了能參加這個酷酷的派對，她竟然犧牲原則。

Professor: That's right. But what does she tell Jeremy he has to do?

她說，Jeremy得把一兩道題的答案改一下，以免倆人交上去一模一樣的作業(yè)，被老師發(fā)現(xiàn)是抄的。沒看出來，Heather還這么狡猾! 唉，希望Jeremy的派對別讓Heather失望，要不她的犧牲就白費了!

Professor: Let's listen next time to find out!
