M: Hello, Jane.
W: Hello, Paul.
M: Please come in. I’m just getting ready to go home. Susan is expecting me for dinner. I want it to be on time for a change.
W: Look, I’m terribly sorry to drop in at this time on Friday, Paul. But it is rather important.
M: That’s OK. What’s the problem?
W: Well, Paul, I won’t keep you long. You see there is a problem with the exchange rates. The Indian rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market. You see there’s being a sharp increase in India’s balance of payment deficit.
M: I see. That’s serious, isn’t it?
W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest in India, and the prospects for the rupee look pretty gloomy.
M: And that’s going to affect us, as if we didn’t have enough problems on our hands.
W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contracts.
M: Just a minute. Forward exchange cover—now what does that mean exactly?
W: Well, it means that JL Motors enters into a commitment to sell Indian rupees at the present rate.
M: I see. And how would that benefit us?
W: Well, JL Motors won’t lose out if the Indian rupee falls further.
M: What will it cost, Jane?
W: A small percentage, about 1%. And that can be built into the price of the bike.
M: Well, I don’t suppose there’s much choice. All right, Jane. Let’s put it into action.
1.What do we learn about the man’s daily life?
2.Why did the woman come to see the man?
3.What makes the woman worry about the Indian rupee?
4.What can we infer from the conversation?

选项 A、He cooks dinner for the family occasionally.
B、He dines out from time to time with friends.
C、He shares some of the household duties.
D、He often goes back home late for dinner.

答案D

解析 在对话的开头部分,女士来找男士,男士请女士进屋,并说自己正准备回家,苏珊在等他回去吃晚饭,他希望这次能够准时,改变一下。就是说男士这次想一改经常很晚回家吃晚饭的情况,由此可推知,男士经常很晚才回家吃晚饭。故选项D为正确答案。同时我们也可以采取排除法。选项A、B、C对话中均未提及,都可排除。
