W: Hey, Henry, how’s everything going, and what’s with the flowers?
M: They’re for my wife.
W: Oh, a wedding anniversary or something?
M: To tell the truth, it couldn’t be worse. You see, I have to pick my wife up from the airport this evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps.
W: Oh really? What happened?
M: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of them got all excited, and started horsing around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked over my wife’s 250-year-old Chinese porcelain vase given to her by her grandmother, and broke it beyond repair.
W: Oh no! You’re in hot water now.
M: If it had only been that.
W: Oh, there’s more?
M: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has been writing for the past two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages.
W: Oh no!
M: And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched, uh, the rest of game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript to a crisp.
W: Ah, so I get it now. You’re buying the flowers for her as a part of some kind of peace offering, right?
M: No, not at all. They’re for my funeral.
12. What was Henry doing Friday night when his problems started?

选项 A、Henry’s friends kicked it because they were very excited.
B、Henry accidentally dropped it.
C、One of Henry’s friends bumped into it with his arm.
D、One of Henry’s friends was too excited to hold the vase.
答案 C
解析 根据选项可以预测问题是vase被谁怎样弄坏了。对话中提到，一个朋友看球赛看得很兴奋，手舞足蹈，不小心把Henry妻子一只有250年历史的中国陶瓷花瓶打翻了。其中的he不是Henry，而是他的朋友，答案为C。
