【正确答案】The man is glad that an alternative to the seven-day meal plan is now available for students who live in the dorms. He'll purchase the five-day meal plan, which provides three meals on weekdays and the option to buy meals on the weekends for $3 each. The new five-day meal plan is better for him because he likes to go home every other weekend, and when he's on campus, he likes to go out with his friends. So he wasn't taking advantage of the cafeteria on the weekends even though he was paying for it. The Student Union has fast-food as well as booths in the food court for Chinese or Mexican food or even a salad bar. Besides, if he wants to eat in the cafeteria on a weekend, he can buy a meal. He should save about $ 48 a month by using the new plan, and he can use that money to eat out.

【答案解析】[听力原文] M: I don't like to cook, but I don't like to eat in the cafeteria every day either. W: True. The food does get kind of...same old same old. M: My point exactly. And besides, I go home about every other weekend, so paying for my meals when I'm not there doesn't make a lot of sense. W: Right. So you'll probably sign up for the five-day plan next semester. M: I already did. If I want to eat in the cafeteria some weekend, I can just buy a meal, but I'd probably go out somewhere with my friends if I'm here over the weekend. W: Well, I don't go home on the weekends as much as you do, but I still eat out a lot on the weekends. M: So the five-day plan might work out better for you, too. I'm really glad to have the option.
