【正确答案】The man is having difficulty with his accounting class. He keeps sleeping in and missing classes, not because he isn't interested in the subject matter, but because he's tired from solutions waiting tables at his part-time job. The woman tries to give him some advice about his problem.
She says he should either quit his job, or switch to a later section so that he won't miss the morning lectures.
I think what he should do is switch to the later class time.
Quitting the job is obviously not something he wants to do, because he clearly needs the extra income. And even though the later class is supposedly full, I think the professor will probably make an exception for him and let him in the class. My professors have sometimes been able to do this for me, so I think it's the best option in this case.
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Sam, I didn't see you in accounting class this morning.
M: (ashamedly) I know. I didn't make it. That's the fourth time I've missed it this month.
W: Wow. I think if you miss any more it'll start affecting your grade. (serious, but without scolding) And it is a required course for our major, you know.
M: Yeah. Not only that, but I actually enjoy the class. It's one of my favorites. The problem is...see, I work part-time waiting tables at one of the restaurants across town. We have to stay till midnight to help clean up the place, so I get home pretty late. I've been having trouble waking up for the early accounting class, and I've even started skipping some of the assignments for it.
W: It sounds like you have too much in your schedule. If I were you, I'd definitely quit that part-time job. That way you could focus on accounting class.
M: You're right, but...I make so much money waiting tables there, I'll have to start paying back my loans next year, and I have things like car insurance to worry about. (despairingly) I really need the money.
W: (upbeat) Hey, you know what? Why don't you switch into the other accounting class, the one that meets later? That way you could get some sleep.
M: I thought of that too. But when I checked the school website, it said that section was full.
W: It couldn't hurt to talk to the professor anyway. If you explain your situation, maybe she'll let you switch even though the other one's full.
M: You think so? (unconvinced) I'm not sure she would...
