W: Bill, can we really afford a holiday? We're still paying for this house and the furniture is on hire-purchase.
M: Now listen, Mary. You work hard and I work hard. We deserve a holiday. We're not talking about whether we can have one. We're talking about where and when.
Q: What do we know about the man's view of their holiday?

M: Victor is really something. He nearly got killed when he tried to rescue a drowning boy yesterday.
W: Well, so far as I know, that was not the first dangerous situation he was in for others.
Q: What do we learn about Victor from the conversation?
正确答案：B
解析：男士首先用real something“真了不起”评价Victor，然后具体例证：为了救落水儿童险些丧命。女士补充说：这不是他第一次为了他人而使自己身处险境。由此可知Victor非常英勇，B正确。
