W: Hey, Mike, throw your stuff into the back and ride up front with me.
M: OK, Brenda. Thank you for giving me a ride home. I did not want to call my parents because they were at Mimi’s Cafe for my aunt’s birthday.
W: Mimi’s Cafe? That place has the best burgers in town! The atmosphere is also nice. Good food and a good setting. We should eat there after our next basketball game.
M: Yes, that sounds like a good plan.
W: Do you have any plans set up for the upcoming vacation?
M: Well, besides going to basketball practice with you, I will most likely be working.
W: Oh, working? Did you get a new job or are you still working at Starbucks?
M: Well, Starbucks was a good job for me. However, my work schedule was neither convenient nor easy. My manager would schedule me only during the time when it was most busy, which is in the morning when there is a constant coffee rush. It was definitely very difficult and a conflict to my class schedule.
W: Well, what are you doing now at your new job?
M: Well, I am an administrative assistant (行政助理) for a company called Multi-Max. I have done a little training, but I do not know what the full job entails. From what I have seen, it is! mostly inputting data into the computer and following up customers’ orders.
W: Oh, that sounds pretty easy.
M: Well, what about you? Do you have any plans for the break?
W: I am planning a snowboarding trip. You could come if you are not too busy.
M: Oh, that sounds fun! Who is going and where are you guys going?
W: As of right now, my roommates, Jay and Kristian, are planning to go. We are planning to go to Big Bear. I heard that there are pretty good conditions for skiing and snowboarding this season up there.
M: Yes, that is what I heard as well. Where are you guys staying? Did you rent a cabin?
W: No, we did not. My cousin actually owns a cabin up there, and he said it is OK for us to stay at his place for the weekend. The cabin is not far away from the ski slopes and the eateries (餐馆,饮食店),so it should be a convenient place.
M: Would it be OK with your cousin if I come along as well?
W: I am sure that will be fine. He did not tell me there is a limit on the number of people I could bring, so you are more than welcome to join us.
M: Awesome (棒极了)! Well, I will check my schedule, and I will give you an update tomorrow.

选项 A、The salary was too low.
B、The work schedule conflicted with his study.
C、The manager was too strict with him.
D、The workplace was too far away.

答案B

解析 由原文可知,男士认为星巴克的工作不错,但他的工作时间安排既不方便也不轻松,因为经理安排他只在早上最忙碌的时间段工作,这段时间是咖啡需求高峰期,这肯定是非常难做的,而且与他的上课时间冲突了。因此答案为B。
