PROBLEM: M: Hi, Jane. What's so interesting? ,F: What? Oh, hi, Tom. I am reading an article on the societies of the Ice Age. ,M: The Ice Age. There weren't many societies then, just a bunch of cave people. ,F: That's what people used to think. But a new exhibit at the American Museum on Natural History shows that the Ice Age people were surprisingly advanced. ,M: Oh, really? In what way? ,F: Well, the Ice Age people created language, art and music as we know it. And they didn't live in caves. They built their own shelters. ,M: What did they build them with? The odd weather would have killed most of the trees, so they couldn't have used wood. ,F: In some of the warmer places, they did build houses out of wood. ,M: How did they stay warm? ,F: Well, it says that in the early Ice Age, they often faced their homes toward the south to use the sun for heat. ,M: That is pretty smart. Can I read that magazine article when you have finished? I am really interested in it.
(A) F: I think I can read the article together with you. Maybe you'll be interested in it then. (B) F: Well, I'll lend you the magazine, although you're not interested in it. (C) F: I think I can talk more about the article with you. Maybe you'll be interested in it then. (D) F: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please?
