I've got the tennis shces,由此句可直接得到答案,后面的but,didn't也表明没有running shoes和track shoes.

【答案解析】[听力原文] F: OK, I'll hold the prices if you can guarantee new orders, and I mean a substantial increase. M: What are we talking about here? F: Thirty-five to Forty-five per cent--over six months. M: I was thinking more in terms of thirty-five. F: Forty--and we have a deal. M: Is there any possibility of staggering that? F: No, I'm sorry. There isn't. M: OK. I think we're going to have to accept that.

注意时间和介词,该公司股票went up on Monday,went down on Tuesday,then went up yesterday,
【正确答案】
A

I'm flying out on the Friday-night and coming back on the Sunday. F: You'll have a very busy week.
