M: Isn’t it rather cold outside, Sally?
W: It is a bit, but I can’t stand the terrible smoke inside. I’d rather stay here if you don’t mind. You know, fresh air makes me more comfortable.
Q: Why does the woman want to stay outside?
W: We’ve lived here in Hoe Farm for 5 years now and I think it’s time to have the house painted.
M: You’re right. Mr. Churchill, our neighbor, just had his house painted. But we cannot afford the fee unless we do it ourselves.
Q: What do we learn about the speakers?
选项 A、Their neighbor Mr. Churchill will help them paint the house.
B、Their house is still new and needn’t any paint work.
C、They will ask about the fee before having their house painted.
D、They have to paint their house on their own for lack of money.
答案 D
解析 关键是听到But后面的“我们请不起人来粉刷屋子，除非自己动手”，cannot afford对应lack of money，故答案为D。Mr．Churchill是他们的邻居，刚刚请人刷了自己的房子，但并没有提及Mr．Churchill会帮他们刷房子，故不选A；B与原文相反；他们负担不起请人来刷房子的服务费，C却说先问价钱再请人，故不正确。
