Q: F: I notice an article in the newspaper about the problem of rapid growth of cities in America. I was wondering do you Americans carry out a birth control policy? Can Americans have as many children as they want? ,M: Yes, sir. We can have as many as we want, but most people decide to have only one or 2, and some people decide not to have any. ,F: Why do they decide not to have any? In the old days, we Chinese always wanted to have as many as possible. Some still do now.
(A) M: I am really sorry, I did not catch that. Would you slow down, please? (B) M: Well, most Americans also decide to have as many children as they can. (C) M: I have no idea.

Q: F: Have you been watching the Euro 2012 football tournament? ,M: Just a bit. Have you? ,F: Of course. I really started to like football since I came to London. Just think a year ago I was still in Montreal and didn't know a thing about it. ,M: Well, I'm from New Jersey. Americans aren't so into football, either. Actually we call it soccer. When Americans say football, what we mean is American rules football. I've been here 2 years now, and I still get confused when people call soccer football. ,F: Oh, that's right. For you Americans football means the sport where those big guys wear helmets and violently run into each other. ,M: Yeah, Americans prefer watching sports that are fast like basketball. I think basketball players are some of the greatest athletes on earth. What they can do just amazes me. But when I watch a soccer match, I just get board. There aren't enough goals. ,F: Well, I see what you're saying. But there's so much more to soccer as you call it than goals. There are a lot of strategies involved. And in a tournament like Euro 2012, it's fascinating to see how the different countries have different styles of playing.
(A) M: For me, football is a confusing sport and not interesting at all. (B) M: Basketball is not violent enough. (C) M: I am afraid I did not quite catch what you were saying. Please repeat it. (D) M: I just get bored on football. It's not interesting.
