【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] M: Happy Anniversary! W: Oh, thank you. The flowers are beautiful. You shouldn't have… especially since our anniversary was last week. M: What? Oh, I completely forgot... W: Again? M: No way. I can't believe it. W: Neither can I, but you did. M: Ah, how can I make it up to you… again? Anything! W: Okay, let's negotiate. First of all, I want to go on that dream vacation you've always promised me. M: You mean, to Chicago? W: No! To Europe. I want to fly first class and stay at 5-star hotels. And no more places with broken heaters, leaky showers, and dirty bedding. M: Ah, were those places that bad? W: Well, SOMETHING a little nicer, and, oh yeah. Next, I want to get a new kitchen stove. The old one took its last breath weeks ago. M: But we… W: No, we're NOT going to use the outdoor barbecue anymore. It isn't any fun at all cooking outside in the winter, with icicles hanging from your nose. M: That bad? W: Not for YOU since you're always watching from inside. M: Oh, well. W: And finally, I want a new wardrobe: some new dresses, shirts, pants, earrings... M: But… W: And, NO, I'm not going to wear your grandmother's old secondhand pants again. M: Is that it? W: Uh, hmm, for now. So, why don’t we grab a bite to eat before we start planning the entire adventure. M: Ok, I am a bit hungry now. W: These steaks are really delicious. Well, let's see. Paris, Rome, London, then a short detour to Russia, China, and, ooh, and Hawaii on the way home. M: Wow. I'd better ask the boss for a huge raise. What is the problem at the beginning of the conversation?
