M: I don't know yet. Why?
W: Well, I thought we could cook another of our famous suppers and invite john and Sue.
M: Oh, no! Not potato salad again! Sorry, Barbara, but I really have to read this book.
对话一开始，女士就问男士在看什么书，在男士回答之后，她紧跟着又问；Why are you reading on a Friday evening(为什么在周五晚上看)。因此对话肯定发生在星期五。后文出现了Saturday，但那是女士提议一起做晚饭的时间，并非对话发生时间。
单选题
Where does Barbara come from?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】在第四个话轮中女士说：I'm going back to Canada，因此她肯定是加拿大人，选[C]。
单选题
What is John's plan for the future?
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】对话第一句就指出男士名为Paul，因此John不是对话者。第五个话乾中女士的回答中指出，John "is going to open a branch of 'Pretty Feet'...”，由其中的branch(分店)和feet两词可推知他应当是开一家鞋店，故答案为[A]。
