W: You mean you don't keep regular hours? M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business isslower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early. W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet? M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It's great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers. W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business. Question: What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop? - He repaired bicycles. - He served as aconsultant. - He worked as a salesman.
