【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]14-17 M: Sally, are you going home for the holidays? W: Yes. I've booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait. M: That sounds great. W: What about you? Are you going home, too? M: I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm thinking... W: Haven't made up your mind? Oh, you're not going to get a flight out of here. I guess all the seats have been reserved by now. It's a holiday season, after all. Most people are traveling. M: Well, it's not such a big deal for me. My family is only a hundred and fifty miles from here. I usually take a train. W: You don't sound very excited about it. M: Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have two brothers and a sister. They spread out all over the place. One lives on the West Coast and one lives on the East Coast. My sister lives abroad. W: Oh, vow! Where is she living? M: In Paris. W: What does she do there? M: She teaches English in a university. It is kind of strange, but we seldom get together as a family since we earned our own livings. W: Well, I try to get home as much as possible. We're a big family—there are six of us children—so it is always a lot of fun. M: Six kids? W: Yeah. And we're all really close. Most of us are married, so it makes a very crowded house over the holidays. M: I can imagine. W: Of course, there are too many people to cook dinner for. It is a real headache for my parents. So we usually end up eating outside. It is pretty crazy. M: Well, at my house, my mother loves to cook. So when all of us get home—which isn't that often—she always cooks big home-made meals. We have left-overs for days.
