M: Hello, Tracy. How come you're sweating on such a cold day?
W: Sorry I'm late for the meeting. Just after I passed through the supermarket, my car broke down. So I decided to rush all the way here.
Q: What do we learn about the woman?
正確答案：B
解析：男士疑惑女士怎么會在大冷天滿頭大汗，女士解釋說車在超市附近拋錨了，不得不一路跑過來開會，故選B。

W: I used to go to the cinema a lot, but once in a blue moon now.
M: Me too. The contemporary movies are incomparable to those made in my youth.
Q: What do we learn about the two speakers?
正確答案：A
解析：女士說自己以前常去看電影，現在難得去一次，男士說“我也是”，因此答案為A。即使聽不懂女士話語中once in a blue moon“千載難逢”的意思，也應該根據but一詞猜出它的意思與前面的go to the cinema a lot相反。
