【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Good morning, Housing Office. How can I help you? M: Hi. I'm calling about the new subsidized low-cost housing for graduate students. W: Are you aware {{U}}that it's only available to married graduate students and their families?{{/U}} M: {{U}}Yes. I think my wife and I may qualify, since she's still in graduate school{{/U}}. But I was wondering whether there were any other requirements. W: {{U}}Well, unless you have more than one child, you have to have a combined annum income that's less than 15,000 dollars.{{/U}} M: I'm working as a part-time research assistant, so that's no problem. But right now we're living with my wife's parents. Does that mean we have to include their income too? W: Not necessarily. Why don't you stop by our office so I can give you some forms to fill out and explain everything in more detail? M: That sounds like a good idea. Would tomorrow morning be all right? W: {{U}}The afternoon might be better. It can be pretty crazy around here on a Friday morning.{{/U}} M: All right, then. I'll try to make it in the afternoon. Is there anyone special I should ask for? W: You can ask for me, Susan Davison or my assistant Bill Brown. [解析] 细节题。男士认为他和他妻子有资格申请，因为他妻子仍在读研究生(I think my wife and I may qualify, since she's still in graduate school)。题干中的eligible同义替换了qualify，B项也同义转述了she's still in graduate school，所以答案选B。
