男：我开始担心詹妮的功课了。这些天她说的全是排球比赛的事情。她每天做的事情都是练习，训练之类的事。
女：她下次考试肯定会不及格的。我们是时候要跟她讲讲道理了。
问：说话者可能做的事情是什么？
答：It's high time...是时候该做……，talk some sense into somebody 对某人讲讲道理。对话中男人说担心孩子的功课，女人附和说她下次考试肯定会不及格，又说要对孩子讲讲道理了，也就是让孩子专注于学业的意思。因此正确答案为A，敦促詹妮花更多的时间学习。B，帮助詹妮准备下次考试，C，更明智的对待詹妮，均未提及。D，把詹妮送去排球训练中心，二人因为詹妮沉迷于排球已经很担心了，不可能把她送去训练中心，因此排除。
