问题  
M: My brother e-mailed about an emergency situation. He needs $ 300 by tomorrow, but how can I get cash to him within 24 hours if I’m here in Mexico City and he’s in New York?
W: That’s easy. You can wire him the money from here and he can pick it up immediately there.
M: I already checked with my bank and it’ll take at least five days for them to process the wire.
W: You can just use a private wire service like Western Union. I wire money all the time using Western Union. Here is a blank form. I can help you fill it out if you want me to.
M: That would be great. Hey, this form is for a money transfer. Is that the same thing as a wire?
W: Yes, it’s the same thing. Fill out the receiver or recipient information here and the sender information there.
M: Can I pay in local currency?
W: Sure. When you go to the Western Union office, they’ll calculate how much you’ll have to pay according to the current exchange rate.
M: Is there a fee?
W: Yeah, there is, and it’s a little higher if you want the money to be available immediately. If you had more time, you could save a little by using the slower service that makes the money available in three business days. All done?
M: Yeah, I think so.
W: Now you take this to the nearest Western Union office. They’ll give you a control number. Your brother can use that control number to pick up the money in New York.
9. What should the man do for his brother?
10. What should be considered if the man pays in local currency?
11. What does the man’s brother need to draw out the money?

选项 A、Ask the policeman in Mexico City.
B、Return to New York immediately.
C、Ask for help from the woman.
D、Send money to his brother as soon as possible.

答案 D

解析 事实细节题。对话中男士提到自己的弟弟遇到了急事儿,需要他明天之前寄去300美元,但男士不知如何才能在24小时之内将钱由墨西哥城寄到纽约。由此可知,男士需要尽快给弟弟寄去急用的钱。
