单选题
What can we learn about the couple? A. They worked in a restaurant. B. They had a restaurant in the shopping center. C. They owned a successful restaurant.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 10-12 W: Who were those two men you were talking to? M: They own a shopping center. W: A shopping center? Where is it? M: It's that new one down on the Peninsula, about ten miles from here. W: Oh yes, I've heard about it. M: They'd like to have someone open another restaurant in the center. W: You're not thinking of moving the restaurant again, are you? M: No, I'm thinking about opening a branch. W: I've heard that business is quite good there. M: Those men did a study of the number of people who pass through the center each day, and the result was good. W: Well, why don't we look into it? M: But do you think we'll have enough time to manage another branch? W: We could get George and Jane to manage it. M: Do you think they have enough experience? W: They're old enough. And we've trained them like your parents trained us. M: Let's try it.
“I'm thinking about opening a branch.”的意思是“打算开分店”，这说明他们现在已经有一个相当不错的饭店了。所以选C。
