【答案解析】 [听力原文]Questions <15>-<18> M: Good morning. May I help
you? W: Yes, I want to find out about the bus service between here and my
home in Detroit. I came here last week by train, but I think I want to return by
bus. I like to try different ways of traveling. M: I'll try to help you. Here
is our schedule. It shows that we have eight buses a day that leave Cleveland
for Detroit. I think you'll find that the service is cheaper than the
train's. W: Yes, it looks as though the tickets are quite a bit cheaper than
the train tickets. Why is that? M: The bus trip takes a little longer than
the train trip, and we don't have a dining car or a lounge. We do have a rest
room, however, and the bus is air-conditioned. The trip should be
comfortable. W: How long is the trip? M: We have an express bus that takes
a little more than three hours, and we have a bus that stops at several cities
along the way. It's cheaper, but it takes a little more than four hours. If you
don't mind the extra traveling time, it's our best bargain. W: Can I use my
return ticket from the train to pay for my bus ticket? M: No, you'll have to
take that ticket back to the train station. That's different company. They'll
give you your money back, and then you can buy a ticket from me here for the
bus. W: Thank you, I want to talk this over with my aunt and uncle before I
decide. I appreciate your help. M: You're welcome.
