问题 What’s the man’s good news?
  
W: Hi. Professor Lucas.
M: Lisa, thanks for dropping in. I have good news for you.
W: Is it a job?
M: Yes. [4C]There’s an opening for a teacher’s assistant for sociology, and I thought you’d be perfect for it, so I asked Professor King to give it to you.
W: I’m really grateful to you for recommending me, but I already have a job.
M: You do?
W: Yes, I had some money problems, so I had to make a quick decision about work.
M: Um, could you tell me what your job is now?
W: Yeah. I’m a part-time kitchen assistant. The pay is not too bad. It’ll help me pay for personal stuff.
M: Well, you know, I’m happy you got a job, [5B]but I really think you would benefit from working as a TA. It would suit your aptitude so much more, and don’t forget, you’re a sociology major.
W: I know, but there’s a really important reason why I decided to take the job, professor. This semester, I’m writing a paper on social organization, and I decided to analyze the organization in a small restaurant. It’s walking distance from my dormitory, so I won’t have to spend too much time getting to work. I’m really very busy this semester.
M: I see. Well, I’m not really sure what tasks Professor King wants to assign his TA, but if the workload isn’t too heavy, would you consider doing it for him? I know you’re busy but I can’t think of anyone more suited to the role than you. And plus, he did remark that you’d be perfect.
W: Well, I can’t promise anything, but sure I’ll look into it. [6A]Knowing Professor King, though, there’ll be a lot of work to do.

选项 A、To give up the position of teaching assistant.
B、To find another part-time job.
C、To resign the post of kitchen assistant.
D、To work as both a teaching assistant and a kitchen assistant.

答案A

解析 虽然女士说她这学期会很忙,但是男士还是想让她在社会学助教的工作量不大的情况下接受这份工作,而女士说她很了解金教授,当他的社会学助教会有很多事情要做,也就是说工作量会很大,由此可推断她很可能不会接受社会学助教这份工作,故答案为[A]。
