Read the following conversation and answer the question. Susan: Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Julie? I hear you have planned it for a long time. Julie: I can't wait to see Canada, Susan, but I'm somehow scared of the journey. My husband insists on flying but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous. Susan: There's nothing to be frightened. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day? Julie: I've no idea. Hundreds, I suppose. But any accident in a flight will lead to tragedy. Susan: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year? Julie: Yes, but planes fly so high and fast that once was enough. Susan: Look, there are more road casualties per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport. Julie: I'd still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast and at least you can relax. I'd love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II. Susan: It's fine if you're a good sailor. But have you ever traveled far in a rough sea? Julie: No. I've only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour. But in many eases I'd rather to be sea - sick than dead. Question: What kind of transport does her husband prefer to take? - By air. - By bus. - By train.

*Question*
Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Well, Mr Smith, we have had an interesting discussion about your work. Now, tell us something about your after-work activities. M: I guess not much different from everyone else. I'm interested in sport, and I run about 3 miles every day. I particularly enjoy cross-country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on. While I'm running I think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind. Next year I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race - 26 miles, or 42 kilometres - and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit about getting old and I'd like to prove to myself that I'm still almost as fit as I was twenty years ago. I'm interested in climbing as well as running. I'll never become an expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was younger, and I've done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the last few years. My wife doesn't share my interest in mountains. She agreed to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt ill as soon as she got above 1000 metres, so we decide to follow different hobbies. W: You certainly seem to enjoy various types of recreation. All right, Mr Smith. Thanks for your interesting talk. Question: What is the man's main topic? - Training for a professional athlete. - His ways of physical training. - How to do cross-country running.
**Answer**

Question: When does the talk most likely take place? - Early in the morning. - Late in the afternoon. - On a Sunday afternoon.
A: Late in the afternoon.
