Question: M: What are you doing, Mum? W: I'm planting cabbage. M: What's that in your hand? W: Cabbage seed. You see, I put some soil in the box, sow the seed carefully like this, and then cover it with more soil. I'll keep the box in the shade so that the sun doesn't burn the little plants. M: Is that all? W: No. Later, in a few weeks' time I'll put the little plants in the earth. Then I'll water them to stop the soil from getting too dry. Several weeks after that, I will plant them in rows in the field. M: Do you have to feed plants like you feed chickens? Or do they grow up by themselves? W: In fact they grow better if you feed them. When the plants are in the ground I'll put some powder on the soil. The powder is made from fish, blood and bones. It'll make the cabbage plants grow big and strong. M: Like me!, Question: Where will the mother put the box after she's put the cabbage seed in it? (A) In the sun. (B) In the shade. (C) In the soil.

Answer: (B) In the shade.

A friend of mine is coming from the south and I have to go to the station to meet him. M: What a pity! How about the weekend then? W: No, I've arranged to go to an art exhibition with my parents. M: What about next week sometime? W: Maybe., Question: What is the woman going to do tonight? (A) Help her sister with English. (B) Meet her friend at the station.

Question: Dean: Hey, man. What's up? Tod: Ah, first of all, I put a buck in the vending machine for a seventy-five cent candy bar, and the thing got stuck here in the machine. Then, I pressed the change button [Ah, man], and nothing happened. [Wow!] Nothing came out. The dumb thing still owes me a quarter. Dean: Well, did you talk to the man at the snack bar to see if he could refund your money? Tod: Yeah, I tried that, but he said he didn't own the machine, and I'd have to call the phone number on the machine. Dean: What a bummer. Tod: Hey, I have an idea. [What?] Why don't we rock the machine back and forth until the candy bar falls? Dean: Nothing doing. I don't want to be responsible for breaking the thing, and besides, someone might call the cops. Tod: Ah, don't worry. I've done it before. Tod: Oh well. Hey, hey, tough luck. Hey, here, take my candy bar. [You mean?] Yeah, the machine and I hit it off earlier today., Question: Which statement does NOT describe the man's problem? (A) He can't get his snack from the machine.
