What are the two speakers mainly discussing? [br] How much money will the student be able to receive for his book?
Listening to part of a conversation between a student and a bookstore clerk. (S = Student, C = Clerk)
S: Hi, I’m here to return a book that I bought for a psychology class. I dropped the class, so… I won’t need the book anymore.
C: Well, have you checked our return policy?
S: No, why?
C: Well, you should have done that first, it’s printed on the back of your purchase receipt and it’s also posted at the front of the store.
S: Okay, here’s my purchase receipt… urn… but why do you ask?
C: The school does allow students to return books, but only one week after the start of classes, and, well, I’m sorry, but you bought this book two weeks ago.
S: Ugh, I’ve been so busy, that’s why I dropped the course in the first place. I mean, look at it, it’s completely new. I didn’t even write my name on it.
C: Yes, it does look like in very good condition, but I’m really sorry. That’s the school policy.
S: The school should really change the policy. One week isn’t really a whole lot of time. I mean, it shou until the middle of the semester or something, you know?
C: Yes, well, the school changed the policy about 7-8 years ago. The school used to allow returns during the entire semester. But what happened was that after students took a class, they would bring back their textbooks to the bookstore and ask for a full refund for the book at the end of the semester.
S: Oh, no! Then there’s nothing I can do.
C: Well, the school does buy books at the buyback price. But, it won’t be a full refund.
S: Okay, so how much is the buyback price?
C: Oh, it’s 50% of the original price of the book, and only if the book will be used by the school for that class during the next semester. Let me check, what was your class number?
S: Psychology 201.
C: Okay. Hold on just a second please while I look that up. Well, it looks like the Psychology department is planning to change the book next semester, so they won’t be using the book you have. Em, that means we won’t be able to buy back your book.
S: What? Then what on earth am I supposed to do now?
C: Well, we have an agreement with the book distributors. They buy back any books that we can’t sell, and then they sell them to other colleges that still use the books as used books. But, their buyback price is pretty low. Your book will probably come out to about 25 dollars.
S: Jeez, are you serious? I paid over a hundred bucks for this book and I mean I never used it.
C: I know, I know. Well, however, this is sure better than before when we didn’t have any agreements with the distributors.
S: Really?
C: Yeah, back then, we couldn’t do anything for the students. They couldn’t return any books even if they dropped a course within a week. So, I’m really sorry, but, at least you can get some of your money back.
S: Yeah, I guess so. I’ll do that then. Anyway, thanks.
选项
A、He will receive 50% of the tag price.
B、He will get less than 25% of its original cost.
C、The distributor will pay $25 less than the price that he paid.
D、He will not receive any money because the school won’t use the book next semester.
答案
B
解析
题目问学生能拿回多少钱。职员说经销商大概会花25美元回购学生的这本书。对此,学生表示很惊讶,并说自己这本书是花了一百多美元买的,由此可见,25美元和100多美元的比例是小于25%的。故选B项。A项“他将得到标价的50%”是利用书店给…的回购价格设置的干扰项,学生的这本书在下学期将不再用了,故不符合回购的规定。C项“经销商将在学生购买价格的基础上减少25美元”,职员说的是经销商可能只会付25美元给学生。职员明确提到经销商会购买此书,排除D项“他不会收到任何钱,因为学校在下学期不会使用此书”。
