【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] 11-14
M: I think we'd better go over my schedule, Irene. I'm going to have a look at our European operation, as you know, and as I'll be visiting a number of countries, I'd like you to make the bookings.
W: Right, Mr Buck. I'll take down the details.
M: Well, I'm leaving on Tuesday, April 15th, for London. I'm going to attend a sales conference for our British representatives. That runs through Wednesday and Thursday, and then there's a reception at Canada House on Thursday evening.
W: Are you going to meet the Ambassador, then?
M: I guess so. But the main thing is that on Friday morning, I have a meeting with the British Minister of Trade and Industry. We're going to discuss the site of our new plant in Scotland.
W: So when are you leaving for Paris?
M: First flight on Saturday morning. I'm planning to meet my wife there. She's going to fly over direct, arriving in the afternoon. Then we'll have a relaxed weekend before I see Mr Chambery, the European Manager, on Monday. So from Paris on, I'll need a double room.
W: How long are you going to stay in Paris, Mr Buck?
M: Only till Monday evening. I'm going to Rome to see our plant there on Tuesday, and on Wednesday I'm due in Madrid to inspect the new factory.
W: And that's the last item on the agenda. So when are you coming back? Are you going to fly from Madrid?
M: Yes, on the first plane out on Thursday. We must be back on Friday, the 25th. It's my daughter Sharon's birthday.
