W: Oh, hello, John. Are you using your dictating machine this morning? I’ve got a long report I must dictate. Can I borrow your machine?
M: Of course. But can you spare me a second? It’s the message you sent to me about the delivery delay on the control desks. What’s gone wrong?
W: Everything, John. We have to get the steel sheets we need for these desks from new suppliers. Well, the suppliers have got some trouble or other. They say they will be a bit later for the delivery.
M: But they can’t be! These control desks are a special order. They are wanted for one of the big computer companies. It’s a very important contract.
W: When did we promise delivery?
M: On Thursday next week. And there’s a penalty clause. We stand to lose 10 percent of our price for each week of overdue delivery.
W: Oh, these penalty clauses! Why did you sales people accept them?
M: We have to accept them, otherwise we don’t get the contracts.
W: Well, let’s get on to the Buying Department. I only heard about the delay yesterday because we kept the production line clear to handle these special sheets. It’s a dreadful nuisance.
M: It will be more than a nuisance. If we don’t meet on the delivery date, it will cost us a lot of money.
W: Keep calm, John. We can perhaps claim compensation from the steel suppliers for failure to deliver on time. That’ll offset the penalty clause.
M: Well, if we can.

选项
A、To inform him of a problem they face.
B、To request him to purchase control desks.
C、To discuss the content of a project report.
D、To ask him to fix the dictating machine.
答案
A
解析
在对话开头女士向男士借录音机,男士说没问题,但是提到了女士给他发的一条信息,想问问是怎么回事,接下来女士说他们的供货方出了问题,以致他们的控制台要延迟交货。由此可知,女士给男士发信息的目的就是想告诉男士他们碰到的难题,故A)为答案。
