男：和我一塊兒喝杯咖啡嗎?
女：我很想，但是我實(shí)在是太累了。我熬夜到凌晨三點(diǎn)，一直在寫文學(xué)課的論文。
問：女人為什么拒絕男人的邀請(qǐng)?
答：女人說(shuō)她太累了，寫論文一直到三點(diǎn)，可見她需要一些休息的時(shí)間。因此正確答案為A，她想睡覺。B，她需要時(shí)間寫論文，前面已經(jīng)說(shuō)她寫論文寫到三點(diǎn)，論文應(yīng)該已經(jīng)完成，因此此選項(xiàng)與句意不符。C，她要去上文學(xué)課，D，她有睡眠問題，均未在對(duì)話中涉及。

女：你昨天去面試了，對(duì)吧?怎么樣啊?
男：我想還不算太壞吧。有20個(gè)人競(jìng)爭(zhēng)銷售經(jīng)理的職位。后經(jīng)過(guò)篩選留下我們?nèi)齻€(gè)人，但是我覺得那兩個(gè)人似乎更適合那個(gè)職位。
問：男人暗示了什么?
答：從關(guān)鍵詞better qualified(更勝任)，以及男人說(shuō)not too bad(不算太壞)來(lái)看，他認(rèn)為自己能得到這份工作的機(jī)會(huì)很小，因此正確答案為B，他得到這份工作的機(jī)會(huì)很小。而且也能看出男人對(duì)這份工作并不是很有信心，因此排除A，他有信心能獲得這份工作。C，找到合適的銷售經(jīng)理并不容易，D，面試并未像他預(yù)期的那樣進(jìn)行，未在對(duì)話中提及
