　　Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you?
　　W: Pardon?
　　M: The book! You haven't turned the page in the last ten minutes.
　　W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven't. I need to get through although, but I keep drifting away.
　　M: So it doesn't really hold your interest?
　　W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at the university.
　　M: It's a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love.
　　W: I should say, I don't like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less.
　　M: It's not just the book, it's the course as well?
　　W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isn't really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturers are fine. It's me, I suppose. You see, I wanted to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.
　　M: So the course is OK as such. It's just that hadn't been left to you. You would have chosen a different one.
　　W: Oh, they had my best interest at heart, of course,[24B] my parents. They always do, don't they? They believe that my job prospects would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Plus they give me really a generous allowance, but I am beginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I was quitting.
