Residents of the winning dorm will be treated to a free pizza party at Pizza Plus. This contest is being launched as a way of encouraging students to help conserve electricity. So come on. Let's think green, save money, and get a free meal!
Now hear a conversation between two students.
Question: The woman expresses her opinion toward the announcement of holding a contest of saving electricity on campus. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
【正确答案】The university is going to begin holding a contest of saving electricity in the dormitory, and the winning dorm will enjoy free pizza.
And the woman in the conversation thinks this is good news and she has two reasons. Her first reason to agree is that saving electricity is worthwhile and easy to implement through posting signs or telling people to turn the lights off after leaving their room.
Her other reason is that, while some people do not care about saving power, most people will cooperate in order to get free pizza. In brief this is an effective way to raise people's awareness of saving energy and doing the right thing.
