What message in the following text can be delayed to create suspense? It was my girlfriend’s birthday. Early in the morning I told her that I forgot to prepare her birthday gift and would give it to her the next day. She was disappointed but still happy. Then I just gave her a piece of chocolate and told her that I wouldn’t go home with her after school. In fact I decided to give her a CD later. At 5:15 pm I left school a bit earlier than usual, and hurried to catch the bus which my girlfriend would take at the next stop every day. Bus 242 came and I got onto it. It was the very bus I was sure that she would get on at the next stop. I sat quietly at the back of the bus so that she could not see me so easily. The bus stopped and she got on. She stood at the back door. I walked toward her quietly and gave her a great surprise with the CD she had always dreamed of.

Margherita says that her own musical tastes varied. But she doesn't pick her own music for her shows. The Capital computer selects the records in advance from a list approved by the station managers. "The station has a certain sound, and if we all picked our own music, it wouldn't sound like Capital," she says. "But for someone who likes music, this is a dream job. I get to go to concerts and meet the bands you can hear on my show. It's great to hear the 'behind the scenes' gossip."
Most people would expect that a presenter's most important qualities are a nice voice and huge amounts of confidence, but Marghertita say that basic maths is handy as well. "You have to make sure that you've got an eye on everything that's going on in the studio, but you've got to be able to add and subtract and think in minutes and seconds," she says. "You're dealing with timed records, and with announcements and commercials that are also timed precisely, and you have to be ready to switch to the news at exactly the right second. If you're going over to a live event, you need to be ready, for that on time, not a second earlier or later."
This isn't the sort of girl to let the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. go to her head. Even if she did her family would bring her down to earth. "When 1 started at Capital the only thing my brothers asked was whether they'd get free records," she remembers. "And my mum couldn't even find the station on her radio."
Margherita Taylor is very nice and very easy-going, but very much in control. She is so much a "Capital Radio girl" that you might think she is just doing a good job for the station's publicity, department, although you know what she's saying really comes from the heart. She smiles a lot, laughs a lot and is generally a great advert for Capital.
What does "that" (Par. 1, sentence 6) refer to?
A.The fame of the other presenters.
B.Margherita's fear of the other staff.
C.Self-important behaviour by the other presenters.
D.Bad treatment of Margherita by the other staff.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:W: Hey Steve, got any plans for tonight?
M: Hi, Jane. No, I don't think so. Why? Got any suggestions?
W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I should have mentioned it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure I'd even get them.
M: An exhibit, huh? I like such things. But I don't know who Julia...
W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art historians in general and students of photography in particular because she ... how should I say, changed the aesthetics for photography.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, just capturing what a person looks like in a dispassionate sort of way, she, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's personality. M. Interesting! How did she do that?
W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. One of those things she did was to blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject. That's pretty common now.
M: Yeah, seems so. Who did she photograph?
W: Famous. people of her day: Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin; I don't know who else. We'll see at the exhibition.
M: You really pick my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this.
What is the conversation mainly about?
A.An exhibition on some famous people.
B.A course on photography the woman is taking.
C.An exhibition of a famous art historian's works.
