Man: Hey. Hey. Hey, hey, hey!! What are you doing? Police Officer: Uh, what does it look like I'm doing? I'm having your car towed away for parking illegally. Man: Officer. You can't do that. That's not fair. Police Officer: What do you mean it's not fair? You parked your car in a no-parking area. Man: What? What do you mean? Police Officer: Look, sir. There's a sign right there that says [Where? Where?] ... right there! It says, "Tow away zone. No parking between the hours of 7 a.m. through 6 p.m." Man: Oh, that one? Those tree branches are covering it. Police Officer: Sorry, you're going to have to take that complaint up with the city. I'm just doing my job. I'm just here to uphold the law. Anyway, you can clearly see it once you get out of your car. Man: But, but ... my car was only here (for) five minutes. [Sorry.] I had to just run into this building to ... to drop off some clothing at the homeless shelter. Just trying to help people in need. Police Officer: Sir. The homeless shelter? It's six blocks down the road. Anyway, look, here's your ticket, and the address where you can pick up your car is found on the back. Man: What? A hundred and fifty dollars? That's outrageous. I mean, completely ludicrous. Police Officer: Sorry. Don't park your car illegally! Man: So, you mean that you're going to have my car towed away. I'm standing right here. Look. How about two tickets for a lecture on the history of the English language tomorrow night at the library? Anything. Police Officer: Sir. It's illegal to bribe an officer. Man: Wait, wait wait, or how 'bout some coupons for a free burger at that restaurant across the street.? [You've got to be kidding me.] Buy one and get the second one half price. Police Officer: You know sir, you'd probably better leave now. Have a good day., Question: In the conversation, parking is not permitted between __________.

M: I don't enjoy dating anymore. I can't seem to find anyone I have anything in common with. W: Don't feel discouraged. Be patient. As you are so distinguished, you will definitely find the person who is right for you. M: To tell you the truth, I am tired of being alone. I hope to find my Mrs. Right. What should I do? W: Do you believe in Internet matchmaking service? M: That's really a new walk of life. What is it exactly? W: It helps match up singles the world over, and helps find the man and woman of their dreams. M: Oh, it must be to the taste of a certain group of people. W: The advertisement said Dream Dates has matched up thousands of singles the world over! M: Unbelievable! They must be exaggerating the figure! W: Look at the way they manage their business: they collect applicants' photos, and give the applicants questionnaires to fill out as to what type of character they are. M: I don't believe several questions can decide the type of person you're. People's characters are complicated and keep changing all the time. W: Anyway, it seems that things work well this way. The information and specifications will be entered in a large computer database. M: A computer to decide your best date? That's really ridiculous! W: Look, it promises: Dream Dates provides expert dating service and a place for singles to meet. We'll introduce you to the person uniquely qualified to be your partner. M: Sheer slogans! Not reliable! W: It says you can enroll in a free trial membership! M: I won't do it even they pay me for that! W: Well, we don't have to believe this. Maybe I can tell John, and see whether he'd like to try it., Question: What does the man think ridiculous? (A) Entering a large company without application. (B) Programming human feelings into machines. (C) Deciding one's best partner through a computer.
