单选题 Why doesn't Peter drive a car to work?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 男士答:“我家离公司很近(a stone's throw)”,可知,他不开车是因为公司离他家不远。 [听力原文] 15-18 W: Peter, where is the ear? I haven't seen you drive to work for a long time! Is it broken or stolen? M: Hi, Susan] Oh, no! Of course not! I give up driving to work. Instead, I ride to my working place. W: Why is that? M: You see. There is only a stone's throw from my home to my working place. I think riding a bike to work is more convenient. W: I don't think so. It will take you at least 25 minutes to get to our company from here. M: Yes, sometimes, 30 minutes. But I love riding to work now. It is a totally different picture on my way to work. W: Why do you think so? M: You see, every morning, after I set off for work, I can breathe the new fresh air along the way. By the time I reach my office, I feel rather revived. I even don't rely on coffee to spend my morning hours. W: Is it so magical? M: At least, that's how I feel about riding to work. I can't believe I have wasted so much fresh morning air in the past 3 years! W: Will you continue riding to work in the future? M: I think so.
