Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation:

Man: Hi, Helen. Any phone call for me while I'm away?

Woman: No, Bill. What did you get from your lunch-break shopping?

Man: I've got this new pullover, but I'm not sure if it really suits me. What do you think of it, Helen?

Woman: Well, it's very nice as far as I can see, but put it on first. Then I'll tell you if it suits you. No hurry. We still have about half an hour to go before our office time.

Man: I tried on about a dozen. This one isn't what I wanted really. Woman: Why did you buy it then?

Man: The salesman sold it to me before I realized what had happened. He just never stopped talking and he told some story about the latest fashion and special reductions1. Before I could say anything, he'd wrapped2 it up and taken my money.

Woman: Well, it doesn't look too bad. But haven't you put it on inside out and back to front?

Man: Inside out and back to front? Well, I can't tell the back from the front with these high-neck pullovers. I really wanted one with a V-neck.

Woman: It's a good thing it's got sleeves3 at the top or you'd have put it on upside4 down now as well. Still, I think it suits you quite well.

Man: I went out to get a blue pullover with a V-neck, short sleeves and a pattern and I came back with a white one with a high neck, long sleeves and no pattern.

Woman: You must be too easy to take in. You've got to learn to stand up to these high pressure salesmen. They'll sell you all sorts of things you don't want if you don't watch out.

Man: Next time, I'll send my wife. She'll probably sell something to the salesman.

Q19: What has the man just done during his lunch break?

Q20: Which of the following is not a salesman's strategy5 for selling a product?

Q21: How had the man put on his pullover according6 to the woman?

Q22: What did the man originally7 want to buy when he went shopping?

大意：此对话为同事Bill和Helen之间的对话，关于Bill在午休时因推销员的极力推荐而买下的套头衫。对话的语言十分生活化，难度较低，且问题的答案也十分明确的在对话中以原句形式出现。
