question:
M: I'm talking to Jackie Gold, who is a very proud mother. Her daughter Olyvia, appeared on the stage of London Palladium Theater in the musical, the Sound of Music last month. So how did it all come about? ,F: Well, until last year, the idea of her appearing at the London Palladium would have been unthinkable for our family. Things started to happen when Olivia got the leading role for the show Annie at the local theater. For Annie, Olivia had to learn more than 200 lines. She was on stage from most of the 2 hours show. I decided that we do 10 pages a night. After memorizing it, I gave her a line and she would have to tell me what the next line was. She picked it all up even better than her homework.
(A) M: Just a minute! I do not quite follow what you are saying, would you mind repeating that? (B) M: Wow, she got the role for Annie at the local theater seven years ago, but she had to learn more than 200 lines for Annie, right? (C) M: Do you mean although she got the role for Annie at the local theater last year,she was on stage from most of the 4 hours show? (D) M: So she got the role for Annie at the local theater last year.

question:
M: I'd like to congratulate you on your wonderful performance. ,F: Thank you very much. ,M: I read about you in the newspaper and decided to come and hear you play. I have travelled many miles and I'm very glad I made the effort. You play the piano beautifully! What are your next plans? ,F: At present I'm giving a lot of concerts. Fortunately, people want to come and hear me play. But I'm getting very tired of traveling. ,M: Why are you working so hard? ,F: I'm planning to start a school, so I'm trying to save as much money as possible. ,M: What kind of school? ,F: A music school for disabled children. I think they have the right to receive education just like any other children. At the moment there are very few such schools in my country. Unfortunately, it will cost a lot of money to start one. ,M: But I'm sure a lot of people will support you. I hope you will be able to realize your dream.
(A) F: Excuse me, could you repeat the question? (B) F: I'll try my best to open the music school for those physically or mentally challenged kids. (C) F: Although there are lots of music schools for disabled children, I want to open a best one. (D) F: I don't know music. All I can do is to shelter homeless children by establishing a nursery.
