问题  
W: So John, I hear you and Arthur share a job, don’t you?
M: Yeah. We’ve shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now.
W: Well, how do you divide up your schedule?
M: You know, we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone. When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday. I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday. I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question. But Arthur couldn’t answer the question and he couldn’t ask me about it because I wasn’t in the office. So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday. Of course, they didn’t like to wait until the next day to have their question answered.
W: Yes, that sounds like a problem.
M: So, finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons. Now if someone calls with a question for me in the morning, Arthur tells them to call me in the afternoon. This way, people get their questions answered the same day.
W: What do you do about vacations?
M: Well, Sonatech gives the usual two weeks of vacation to full-time employees, I take a week and Arthur takes a week.
W: It sounds like job sharing has worked out well for you.
M: Yes, it has. We are both happy with it.

10. What is Arthur’s final solution when someone calls with a question for John?
11. What does John say about their annual vacation?

选项 A、He answers it all by himself.
B、He asks them to call back in the afternoon.
C、He has the question answered.
D、He tells them that he can’t offer any help.

答案B

解析 根据各选项中的answers,call back和ques-tion可推测提问可能与如何回答电话问题有关。男士说最后他们决定Arthur上早上的班,John(对话中的男士)上下午的班,如果有人早上打电话来问John问题,Arthur会告诉他们下午再打电话过来,可见Arthur最后的解决方法是叫他们下午再打电话过来,B符合对话原意。Arthur并没有自己回答问题,也没有让别人回答问题,也没有直接说他帮不上忙,可排除A、C和D。
