听力原文：W: Oh, James, for Pete's sake, you've arrived! The class presentation has already been on for more than half an hour. And I was starting to panic!

M: I'm sorry I'm late, Janet. It has been a real mess this morning. I didn't think I was going to make it here at all.

W: But why are you late? You know our whole presentation depends on the graphs you're holding.

M: Yes, I'11 tell you later about it. Thank God. There are still two groups ahead of us. The one being giving now is on the rights of the consumer and analysis of the stock market.

W: Yes. But James! You do look cold! You are shivering! What happened?

M: I've been standing outside in freezing temperature for over an hour, waiting for the bus.

W: Over an hour? But isn't your apartment only a ten-minute bus ride to our school?

M: Yes. But the bus this morning was delayed because of the weather. And when I stepped into a drug-store to call home for a ride, the bus went by. And there was no one at home! So I had to wait another 40 minutes for the next bus to come.

W: That's too bad, isn't it?

M: Yeah. Well, Janet, we'd better stop talking. People are turning around and looking at US.

W: You do look cold. What happened to you?

M: I've been standing outside in the cold weather for over an hour waiting for a bus.

W: Over an hour? But your apartment was only a ten-minute bus ride to our campus.
