Which of the following statements about Robert is CORRECT?
Cecille (W) Robert (M)
M: Oh, hi, Cecille. What are you doing here so early?
W: Hi, Robert. Oh, I got tired of sitting in the cafeteria, that’s all. I have an hour’s break before this class, and I usually spend it there... but it’s so noisy today!
Why are you here early?
M: Oh, (1-1) I always come in the classroom about now—it’s a quiet place to go over my notes before class.
W: Gee, aren’t you the eager beaver!
M: I just find it’s a good way to review and at the same time try to keep up with where this course is going. Cost Accounting is pretty difficult for me. Why’s the cafeteria so noisy? (1-2) There shouldn’t be many people there at three in the afternoon. Lunch is done.
W: There’s a sort of rally going on—for the demonstration.
M: Demonstration?
W: Yeah, Friday.
M: Really? Against what?
W: Tuition. It’s about the tuition increase.
M: Oh, yeah, the tuition increases. They’re holding a demonstration?
W: You don’t get around campus much, do you? They’ve got posters plastered up all over the place.
M: No, I guess I don’t. I just come in for this class and for Financial Management Thursday nights. I didn’t think this fee rise was such a big thing, though. It seems to happen every couple of years or so, regular as clockwork.
W: Well, I guess this one was just the last straw.
M: Why’s that?
W: Because the economy’s so bad. Students don’t have any money. Their parents don’t have any money. (2) They just can’t afford to pay any more for school right now.
M: I suppose that’s so. I manage, but I haven’t had a raise in more than four years myself.
W: You’re working?
M: Yeah. That’s why I’m taking only two classes. I’m a bookkeeper.
W: A bookkeeper? At where?
M: Lightsey Furniture, downtown. I’ve been working there part-time since I started Accounting School, three days a week. It’s enough to pay my expenses, even the tuition boost—if I’m careful with my money.
W: You don’t have such big fees to pay, though, if you’re just taking those two classes. (3) With a full load, most of us are having to fork out close to five hundred dollars more a term!
M: Ouch! I’d protest at that too, I guess. Are you going?
W: To the demonstration? I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it, but, well, I do not really want to climb on the bandwagon.
M: It’s turning into that, is it?
W: Seems to be. There’s a lot of people over the cafeteria anyway, and they seem pretty enthusiastic about this thing.
M: Don’t you think this might be just a " college thing" , though? Students getting raged just for the sake of getting raged? We’re so righteous, or sensitive to injustices. UBC must have a good reason for raising its tuition. I’m sure it’s a non-profit institution, for heaven’s sake!
W: Oh, no doubt, no doubt. Student idealism? Some of that too, I guess, but...
M: But it’s hard times. I get it. And how’s your economy?
W: Oh, I’m OK. (4) My money comes from Daddy’s education trust.
M: Trust? You must be rich!
W: I wish. No, this isn’t a trust like a Rockefeller trust! This is a fancy savings account Daddy started when I was born. He put a little money into it every month, and over eighteen years, that grew enough to get me through university. And God bless Daddy!
M: Amen! Good for you!
W: Yeah, I’m lucky and I’ve got enough to finish out my last year now, no problem. But a lot of others, they’re not so lucky. Some of them aren’t going to be able to finish school; they just don’t have another five hundred or a thousand dollars in their budget.
M: What time is that protest on Friday?
W: I think it starts at four, why? Thinking of going?
M: (sighs) Yeah, I am, actually. I’d like to get a few more details first, though. Do you know where?
W: There’re some flyers in the cafeteria and over at the Student Union, and at some other places on campus, I guess. You could pick one of those up.
M: Yes, I think I will. After class.
W: (5) Tell you what, I’ll go with you. And if you decide to participate on Friday, I’ll meet you there.
M: Or we could meet somewhere else first.
W: And make masks and headbands?
M: Maybe. Anyway, it would be easier than trying to find you in the crowd. And we could plan our escape if it gets too rough.
W: Gee, do you think it could?
M: Oh, probably not. But it’s better to be safe than sorry.
W: Yeah, I suppose so. Oh, here comes Dr. Smithers.
M: Rats! And I never reviewed my notes. Talk to you after class.
选项
A、Review the Financial Management lesson.
B、Go to the demonstration with Robert.
C、Make some masks and headbands.
D、Have no plan yet.
答案
B
解析
Robert表示周五会去参加游行抗议,根据句(5)可知,Cecille打算与Robert周五一起去参加游行,故答案为[B]。
