W: I don't know what's the matter with me. I'm always feeling tired, I'm usually worn out at the end of the day.
M: I see. Let me take your pulse rate first.

本题属于人物关系题，关键在于听清女士话中的feeling tired与worn out两个表身体状态的短语，及男士回答中的take your pulse rate这样一个表征明显的医生用语。

A、 Get some change from Jane.
B、 Go to look for a pay phone.

【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: Hi, Jane, do you have some changes? I have to make a call on the pay phone.

本题关键在于听懂女士回答中why not use my mobile phone这一建议用语及后面的here you are(给你)，由此可推知男士会用女士的手机打电话。
