東京女子医科大学英語2013年第4問

Based on the following dialogue, answer the questions (25-34).

Wakamatsukawada Station Café - Monday, 10:30am

Tomoko: Good morning, David! Did you bring the latest copy of Café Magazine?

David: Here you go. My boss wants you to fill out a survey, though.

Tomoko: Okay, what kind of survey is it?

David: It's a reader survey. My company is doing research on people who read the magazine.

Tomoko: Let's take a look at lt. I don't have a pen, so would you mind writing for me?

David: Sure, no problem. Let's look at the first question.

Tomoko: You already know the answer to that question! I read every issue, but I get it from you.

David: Right.

Tomoko: As for the next question, I can't remember if I got it from you at first, or if I saw it at a cafe at Shinjuku Station. Do you remember?

David: Hmm, do you remember when that was?

Tomoko: Well... I guess it must have been 4 or 5 years ago, which is before I met you.

David: Got it.

Tomoko: How long do I read the magazine? Do they mean at one time or in total?

David: That's a good question (A)She didn't say.

Tomoko: If they mean at one time, then I read for over 30 minutes. But if it means in total, then I probably read one issue for over 5 hours.

David: That's so long! I didn't know that you liked the magazine that much. I'll write the total time.

Tomoko: Let's see, why am I interested in this magazine?

David: I can answer that one. You like to visit new cafes introduced in Café Magazine and I work for the magazine.

Tomoko: I don't think I can write two answers, though, so let's just write the first one.

David: Last question What do you think about the price?

Tomoko: That's really funny! I get it from you, though, so it's free.

David: Just imagine that you are paying for it, then!

Tomoko: I like the magazine a lot, but that price is pretty high. I could buy 5 cups of coffee for that! It's just an okay value to me.

David: That's the end of the survey. Thanks a lot, this will help my boss out.

Tomoko: (B)No, man you very much. I'm going to stay here and read it for now. Do you want to meet for lunch later?

David: Sounds great, but I'd better     C     first. I'll text you later, okay?

Tomoko: Okay, bye!

Suppose you are Tomoko, select the appropriate answer (a-d) for the questions (25-29), which appear in the reader survey.
