M:Hi,honey.I’m home.

W:Hi,Jim.Where did you go?You said you’d be home 20 minutes before.

M:Sorry,honey. There were too many people in the gym,so I had to wait for 15 minutes just to get into the weight room.That’s what made me a little late.

W:Well,dinner is ready.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

Text 10

The problem is with my grandmother,who is now well over 70 and very weak and she really needs my help as my parents are both doing their research abroad.But where my grandma lives,in the countryside,there’s no work suitable for me.I’m a hotel manager and she can’t come and live with me because she says she doesn’t like the noise in the city.And if I go and work there as something else,perhaps as a secretary,it means I have to change my specialty.So maybe I should suggest that she stay in an old people’s house.But I really don’t expect she would accept this idea.She’s been living in the cottage for almost 50 years.It’s old but comfortable,surrounded by trees and a beautiful river.It would be too difficult for her to leave the place.Compared with city life,living in the countryside is much more pleasant and cheaper.
