例2
      Notice on the door of the chemistry lab
      The staff of the chemistry lab regrets to inform all students and faculty in the Chemistry Department that the chemistry lab is now closed due to an unfortunate occurrence there. Because of this unfortunate circumstance that has rendered the chemistry lab unusable, it has been necessary to close the lab until necessary repairs can improve the condition of the lab to a point that is once again usable. The staff of the chemistry lab sincerely regrets any inconvenience that this might cause students and faculty who make use of the lab as part of their research or studies. Repairs to the lab will commence at the soonest possible moment, and the lab will be reopened as soon as it is feasible (though, based on the current condition of the lab, it might take a considerable amount of time). Once again, the staff of the chemistry lab apologizes for this inconvenience.

Difference or similarity
 
Sample Answer: 
      In this set of materials, the reading passage describes a notice on the door of the chemistry lab, and the listening passage is a discussion by two students on what is in the note. 
      According to the reading passage, the notice explains that there was an "unfortunate occurrence" in the chemistry lab, that the lab is now unusable, and that it most likely will not be open for some time to come.
In the listening passage, the students discuss the notice and what it means for them. They will not be able to complete the lab work that has been assigned for their chemistry class; the woman seems more concerned about this than the man does. One interesting point in all of this is that the man has heard a rumor that it was their own chemistry professor who caused an explosion that damaged the lab. The students seem to be amused at this thought.
