问题 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money?
W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?
M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?
W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.
M: Oh, yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.
W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M: I am sorry I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?
M: I don’t know. I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week.
W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.
W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?
M: Yeah, they do.

选项 A、Save up for their future education.
B、Pay for small personal things.
C、Buy their own shoes and socks.
D、Make donations when necessary.

答案 B

解析 细节题。对话末尾,男士说out of that,they have to buy some small personal things,but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks,for example.(我希望他们用零花钱去买一些小的个人物品,但我不希望他们把钱存起来去买他们自己的短袜等。)B项表述与之相符,pay for即buy,意为“买”。A存钱为了将来上学,对话中未提及;C买他们自己的鞋子和袜子,与对话内容恰恰相反;D需要时捐款,对话中也未提及。因此正确答案是B。
