练习 1
Choose the TRUE statements from the list below according to the dialogue.

There may be more than one correct answer!
Choose the TRUE statements from the list below according to the dialogue.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Hannah tells Philip that she is "allergic to dogs", meaning that she has allergy problems when she is around these animals. She may cough and sneeze when she is near dogs for example. Allergies to animals are common, but people may also be allergic to pollens, milk, nuts, etc.
This statement is false. After examining Philip's new dog, Brian claims that the dog has 8 nipples (projections of the skin through which milk is delivered), and no "dingaling", (an infantile term for a penis). This tells us that Philip's dog is a female, or girl dog.
This statement is false. At the conclusion of this scene, Philip decides to keep his dog, and not "give it away". Philip's decision to keep the dog is based both on his desire to reconcile with his attractive ex-girlfriend, but also because neither Hannah nor Brian will take the dog from him.
This statement is true. Philip explains to his colleagues that if he "takes care of" or "is responsible for" his ex-girlfriend's dog, then she may "get back together" with him. To "get back together (with an ex-girlfriend)" is to reconcile with them, or to renew a relationship that was previously troubled. At the end of the scene, Philip exclaims that he is "keeping this dog, because (his) ex-girlfriend is super hot", suggesting that he wants to reconcile with her.
This statement is false. Philip never "purchased" or "bought" his new dog, rather it was left at his apartment by an ex-girlfriend. "To purchase (an item at a store)" is to pay for it, or exchange money for it.
练习 2
Choose all the statements that match Horatio's description of Icarus.

There may be more than one correct choice!
Choose all the statements that match Horatio's description of Icarus.

There may be more than one correct choice!
Horatio mentions that Icarus wears a stupid bow tie, and that he lives with his mother, but not that Icarus' mother is stupid.
This is one of the remarks made by Horatio in his monologue. He claims that alcohol makes Icarus "sleepy", which is another word for "tired".
This is one of the remarks that Horatio makes in his monologue as Icarus. He mentions that Icarus "loves his number machines", as well as his "calculators". It is safe to assume that Icarus enjoys mathematics, numbers and figures.
This is one of the remarks made by Horatio in his monologue. He claims that Icarus cannot even eat "a banana or a walnut", because he is allergic to them.

Complete the sentences below with the most appropriate term!

"Urgh! There's a pubic hair in my soup!" ---> This is a problem related to .

"This potato is green, and there's mold on the salad." ---> This is a problem related to .

'I don't eat meat, eggs, or dairy products. I therefore need ---> .
Complete the sentences below with the most appropriate term!

"Urgh! There's a pubic hair in my soup!" ---> This is a problem related to hygiene 1.

"This potato is green, and there's mold on the salad." ---> This is a problem related to freshness of food 2.

'I don't eat meat, eggs, or dairy products. I therefore need ---> vegan options 3.
1 hygiene: "Hygiene" is the right answer here. If someone's body hair has found its way into the soup, then the kitchen is probably "unhygienic" or "dirty". Example: "We need to tell our smelly colleague to improve his personal hygiene".
1 vegan options: "Vegan options" is not the right answer. "Vegans" do not use any animal products, which is unrelated to finding something unpleasant in your food!
1 freshness of food: This is not the best answer. The soup may be "fresh", even if it contains a disgusting hair!
1 nut allergies: This is not the best answer. If someone has a "nut allergy", they are "allergic" to nuts, which means they have a very bad reaction to contact with nuts (peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts etc.).
2 freshness of food: "Freshness of food" is the best answer here. When food is "fresh", it has been bought recently, and is in good shape. Green potatoes and moldy salad are old, or rotten. Example: "I eat lots of fresh fruit to keep myself healthy".
2 nutrition: "Nutrition" concerns the healthiness (or unhealthiness!) of certain foods, and their properties such as fat content, calories, vitamins etc. It is not the right answer here.
2 vegetarian options: Vegetarians do not eat meat (including fish!) or meat-derived ingredients. This is not the right answer here.
2 nut allergies: This is not the best answer. If someone has a "nut allergy", they are "allergic" to nuts, which means they have a very bad reaction to contact with nuts (peanuts, pecans, cashews, walnuts etc.).
3 vegan options: "Vegan options" is the right answer. Vegans do not eat or use any products from animals, including meat, milk, butter, yoghurt, eggs, wool, or leather. Example: "Did you know that Moby is a vegan? He's also bald, but that's unrelated".
3 vegetarian options: Vegetarians do not eat meat (including fish!) or meat-derived ingredients. This is not the right answer here, because vegetarians do eat dairy products, and usually they eat eggs.
3 halal options: Halal food is suitable for Muslims. It includes meat, and so is not the right answer here.
3 kosher options: Kosher food is suitable for Jews. It includes meat, and so is not the right answer here.
