TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a conversation. You need to write a question with three choices for the conversation. Your question should be answerable based on the conversation and only have one correct answer. Note that you don't need to answer your question. "W" and "M" in the conversations stand for "woman" and "man".
PROBLEM: W: Can I help you? M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture. W: Professor Grand's class? M: That's right. How could you know? W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles. M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matterwhich one you give me first. W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out. M: You're joking, all of them? W: Every month. I've asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned. M: And here's me. I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read. W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again. We open at eight.

SOLUTION: What is the man surprised to learn? (A) That the library opens at 8:00. (B) That no one else has read the articles. (C) That none of the material he needs is available.

PROBLEM: F: What is Ken good at? M: Nothing but sleeping.

SOLUTION: What's Ken good at? (A) English. (B) Chinese. (C) Nothing.

PROBLEM: W: Good morning, Mr. Smith. I've just come to tell you about the visit to a village planned for tomorrow. We have a choice of two villages. One is in the suburbs of Beijing, about 50 kilometers away. The other is in a rather out-of-the-way mountain area about 100 kilometers away. It's a small village that has recently made remarkable economic progress. It used to be very backward, but now the place has completely changed. Could you let me know which you'd prefer sometime this morning so that we can make the necessary arrangements? M: Well, I think I'd rather visit the village in the mountains. W: All right. In that case, I'm afraid we'll have to get up rather early tomorrow because it's quite far. We'll have lunch at the village and get back before supper. Suppose we get up at six, what do you say? M: That's fine.

SOLUTION:
What is the woman going to do tomorrow? (A) To tell Mr. Smi th some news. (B) To visit a village in a mountain area. (C) To visit a village in a suburb of Bei jing.
