C) Compromise with his colleague.

D) Try to change his colleague’s mind.

原文

M：The biological project is now in trouble. You know my colleague and I have completely different ideas about how to proceed.

W：Why don’t you compromise? Try to make it a win-win situation for you both.

答案］C)。[听前猜测]四个选项都是动词短语，故推测本题考查说话人要做什么。[精解]对话中男士埋怨生物学项目出麻烦了，同事和他的观点截然不同，女士用why don’t you引导的句式进行劝说，建议他compromise(让步)，实现win-win situation(双方共赢的局面)。由此可见，女士建议男士作出让步，以和为贵。故本题答案是C)。
