Mostly I just watch sports on TV  W: I play tennis fairly regularly with my friends and sometimes go swimming and cycling by myself.  M: Oh, I forgot about that. I go cycling sometimes too. And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.  W: Why don't you join me at the gym sometime?  M: Well, maybe someday, but I'm pretty lazy about things like that.

*Question*
Read the following conversation and answer the question.  W: What are the main differences between this country and your country?  M: Well, in Russia, everything happens very fast. People talk quickly, they drive their cars too fast, the good deals go by really quickly...but here in Canada, it seems like people are a little more relaxed.  W: Is that true for everything?  M: No, of course not. In Russia, going to the bank can take hours. The same is true for the post office and the supermarket. In Canada, however, these places are pretty easy to get through quickly.  W: So, what is it that makes some things go either faster or slower compared to us here in Canada? I was born and raised here, so I guess I don't notice these things. I've also never been outside the country before.  M: I think the people in Russia are fast movers by nature, at least in the big cities. Public places are still very slow because they haven't tried to do business any differently than they used to.  W: But in Canada, it's the opposite?  M: Right. The government here does a great job of solving problems and using new technology to make businesses work better. But I think Canadians are just more calm in general than Russians are... and they're definitely more relaxed than Americans!  W: Well, I agree with you about that last part!  Question: What is true about the woman?   - She wants to go to Russia.  - She has never been abroad before.  - She thinks Americans are more relaxed.
**Answer**
She has never been abroad before.
