W: The Chinese stock market has opened to foreign investors. Are you going to buy Chinese stocks?
M: Yes. I lost my shirt on Wall Street last year, so I think I will pull all my money out there and invest it in the Chinese stock market instead this year.
Q: What is the man planning to do?
正確答案：C
解析：女士說：“中國股市已向國外投資者開放，你會購買中國股票嗎？”男士說：“當然會。……”故C正確。

M: I'd like to get a refund on this. It's my Christmas present from a friend, but I've already got the same thing. Here is the receipt.
W: All right. Please fill in this form and sign your name.
Q: What does the man mean to do?
正確答案：D
解析：男士開口便說：“我想要這東西的退款。”故D正確。A中的sign和B中的fill in... from均屬原詞干擾，C中的exchange gifts是根據present的隨意發揮。
