W: Dad. Are you going to miss me when I leave for college next week? I mean you’re always talking about how much money you’ll save on food, hot water, and gas while I am gone.
M: Of course I’ll miss you. Honestly, I’ll miss and worry about you, and you’ve really tried to prepare yourself. You know, I’m proud of you for that. You know, getting a university degree is a real accomplishment.
W: Exactly.
M: But, let’s go over the to-do list. Do you have everything ready? I mean, did you pay your tuition and housing fees by the deadline? Because, you know, if you don’t, you’ll lose your class schedule, and you have to register all over again.
W: Yeah, I paid for that a few days ago.
M: Okay, did you sign up for the meal plan at the university so you don’t have to eat instant noodles every day?
W: Yep. But Mom said I could take some food from home to get me started.
M: Well, the oatmeal is in the pantry, and just take what you want. And you know you should set up an appointment to meet with your academic advisor to help you select future classes, right? You know, business administration will be a great major for you.
W: Well, Dad, uh...
M: And future possibilities... a great salary, opportunities to make a difference in the community, and supporting...
W: Well, Dad, uh... I changed my major.
M: What? You changed you major... you switched majors!?
W: Yeah. I really thought about it. After talking it over with Mom, I’ve decided to major in wildlife science.
M: What are you talking about?
W: Yeah. I want a degree in wildlife science. You know, analyzing, maintaining, and conserving national forests and wildlife.
M: Are you serious? Have you made a full consideration?
W: Dad, I’ve always been interested in working with nature; and this field will give me the opportunity to live out my dream. I’ve also looked through the online university catalogue, and I actually qualify for a two-year, full tuition scholarship.
M: Wait. When did this all happen?
W: I can even go on to graduate school and further my education... after Todd and I get married, of course.
M: Graduate school... Todd? Wait, wait, wait!! Who’s Todd? Ah, what’s next?
W: Thanks for the credit card. Mom said it was a present. And I just tried it out to make sure it worked, and I had no problem buying my new laptop computer.
M: Oh, I’m doomed!
W: Uh, Dad, where are you going?
M: Uh, I’ve decided to enroll in night school to get another degree.
That’s the only way I’m going to pay for your college.

答案 D

解析 ①选项都以Because开头,可推测本题问某事的原因。②对话开头。女儿问父亲在她去上大学之后是否会想念她,因为他常常说如果她不在的话可以省很多燃气、水费和伙食等方面的花销。言下之意就是父亲经常这么说,她不确定他是否会想念她。根据这一对话内容可知,D项“因为她父亲说这样可以省钱”是正确答案。
