Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: Hi, Jane. It's nice to see you again. I heard that you went to the US during the vacation. W: Yes. I went to New York to attend a summer course in English. M: Wow. You were lucky. How long did you stay there? W: About 50 days. I went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th. M: How about the course? W: The course was very good. The teachers were nice. They taught us to listen, speak, read and write in English, but it was mostly speaking. One interesting thing I found was that the American classes are different from our classes here because the students have a lot more freedom. You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom. You can ask the teachers questions at any time during the class, and you are welcome to share your ideas with the class. I really like this kind of class. M: How interesting! Maybe our teacher should try that. Question: Where was the woman on July 4th? - In an American university. - In New York. - At home.
A: At home.

Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Excuse me, sir. I notice you're reading a newspaper. Can I ask you some questions for a market research project? M: I don't really trust big advertisers, so... W: Oh, it's not like that. We're a small nonprofit organization, and we're hoping to save our local papers and all the jobs they create. M: Oh, that's an awesome cause! Fire away! W: Great. So, tell me what you like about newspapers. M: Well, there is a certain feel to holding a paper and turning the pages. The touch and sound of the paper as I fold it are so pleasant... A tablet can't give you this kind of feeling at all. W: Do you usually read the whole paper or go through different sections to pick out your favorite articles? M: I like being able to look around and find what I want. I can do this very quickly with a newspaper, but online news is tough for me to sort through. It takes me forever just to find something good, and sometimes when I do, it turns out to be something different! W: Do you dislike anything about your newspaper?

Question: According to the man, what is bad about newspapers? - There are too many ads. - They make an annoying sound. - It takes too long to find something good.
A: There are too many ads.
