Ques:Dialogue:  Woman: What are you reading, Bill?  Man: It's this week New Scientist. Why?  Woman: I was just wondering. It looks interesting. But I've never actually read myself. It's for real scientists, or can ordinary people like me understand it?  Man: Always for anyone, really. It usually has articles or stories about current affairs about science, as well as papers about new development in research. I'm reading about new telephone that allows you to see the person you are speaking to as well as see him.  Woman: Oh, I heard about it. Is it on the market yet? Can I buy one?  Man: No. Not this one. But the company has made other models to try on business. This one is special because its color and image is moving.  Woman: Oh, that's interesting.  Man: You see the first video phones. That's what they are called. They made in Japan. But they can only show still black and white image. So this video phone is much better than that. Mind you, I'm not sure I want one, would you?  Woman: Well, no, I don't think a word. I bet it costs a lot of money. Did it say how much it costs?  Man: Yes. The yearly black and white one costs several hundreds pounds. But one in the story is about to cost several thousands pounds.  Woman: Hmm, what does anybody want one, do you think?  Man: Business organizations that need frequent contact overseas want it. It's like a face-to-face conversation, so maybe a lot of overseas travels can be avoided.  Woman: Yes, I suppose so.  Question: The following details are true about the new device EXCEPT   - it has color  - it has a moving image  - it costs less money

Ques:Dialogue:  W: Wow, are you still up? It's late.  M: It is? I didn't realize. Where have you been, Mary?  W: I was at Kayla's birthday party tonight. She had it in a big restaurant in the East End. I didn't get there until 10:00, though. I first had to say goodbye to my friend Lisa who's moving to Seattle next week. We met up at 8:00 at a bar and talked for a long time. I was already tired by the time I got to the party, so I left at 11:30.  M: Well, I'm tired myself.

Ques:Dialogue:  W: I don't understand how the inventor earns money from the invention. After all, anyone can copy and sell it. Really, what is a patent? A piece of paper? A philosophy? You can't see it.  M: I am glad you asked that. Actually when an inventor has a patent, it's enforceable by the laws in the country where the inventor developed the invention. If anyone makes and sells the product then the inventor can take them to civil court.  W: What can the inventor expect to receive if he sues and wins?  M: Well, there are different things the court could do, but there's no guarantee. There's a good chance the court could award him compensation and orders to stop the manufacture and sale of goods. It may well be that the goods would be ordered to be destroyed.  W: Can the other person being sued do anything to help themselves?  M: That's the beauty of the whole thing. Ignorance of the law doesn't count, I'm afraid. However, the other person can counter-sue pretending that they were actually the original inventor.  W: You said the inventor is protected by the laws of the country. Is everything equal? Do all countries have the same law?  M: No, they're not all equal. You're right. It's only in theory. It is being worked on. The World Trade Organization has developed an agreement, Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, which makes sure that the patent is valid for 20 years.  W: That doesn't make sense. Twenty years is a long time.  M: Actually, it does. It's believed that inventors make and sell goods faster after they register the patent because there's a 20-year limitation on the patent. On the other hand, other inventors can use the information the inventor disclosed when the product was registered. Giving the information is all part of the deal.  W: Cool.  Question: What may the court ask the sued person to do?   - Solve the conflicts privately with the inventor.  - Give the inventor some compensation.  - Buy the patent from the real inventor.

Ans:
