【正确答案】The man in the conversation faces a problem that his friend is supposed to take him to the airport. Unfortunately, his friend is late.
There are two solutions to the problem. The man can either take a bus or take a taxi.
Personally speaking, I prefer the second solution, because taking a bus is not only time consuming but also troublesome since he needs to transfer to another bus and also carry his big and heavy suitcase with him. Plus, the bus is slow and might run out of time since it stops all the time on the road. Therefore, he should take a taxi. Although it's expensive, it's fast and he can arrive at the airport on time. From what I know, many students take part-time jobs at college and make enough for their tuition and living expenses. Paying for the taxi fare should not be a big deal for him.
Personally speaking, I believe the man should take a bus, because he wants to save some money in order to enjoy himself on Spring Break. Since any taxi to the airport costs quite a bit, taking the bus is clearly the less costly course. Although the bus is slower than the taxi, he seems to still have enough time traveling to the airport.

【答案解析】 题目中考生应重点把握学生的问题，即本来要送该学生去机场的同学迟到了。在文中则是My friend is supposed to ride me to the airport，but he is late!
