段落
Woman 1: Hi Ben, do you have a moment? I wanted to discuss the upcoming holiday party.
Man: Of course, Sarah. What's on your mind?
Woman 1: I was thinking about the venue. Have you had a chance to check if the Riverfront Ballroom is still available for December 15th?
Man: Yes, I called them this morning. Fortunately, it is available. It's quite a popular spot this time of year.
Woman 1: Oh, that's a relief! I was worried it might be booked. We'll need to confirm the booking soon.
Man: Agreed. I'll send over the deposit request. Also, have you thought about the catering? We need to finalize that by next week.
Woman 1: I've got a couple of proposals. I'll forward them to you. Oh, and remember, we also need to schedule that mandatory cybersecurity training for the new hires before the end of the year. Can you remind HR?
Man: Right, I'll add that to my to-do list. I'll send an email to HR this afternoon.

📖 文章翻譯 — Woman 1: 你好，Ben，你現在有空嗎？我想討論一下即將到來的節日派對。
Man: 當然，Sarah。你在想什麼？
Woman 1: 我在想場地。你有機會確認一下 Riverfront Ballroom 在 12 月 15 日是否仍然可用嗎？
Man: 是的，我今天早上打電話給他們了。幸運的是，那是可用的。這個時間點是個相當熱門的地點。
Woman 1: 哦，鬆了一口氣！我還擔心會被訂滿。我們將需要盡快確認預訂。
Man: 同意。我會把訂金的要求發過去。對了，妳有考慮餐飲嗎？我們需要確定...
Options: ["The entertainment schedule","The guest list","The catering arrangements","The decorations budget"]
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是 C) The catering arrangements (餐飲安排)。對話中，Man 說：「Also, have you thought about the catering? We need to finalize tha...」，這直接表明了餐飲安排是 Woman 1 還需要最後確定的事項。考生應注意對話中提到的「catering」這個詞。
💡 應試技巧 — 聽到關鍵詞「finalize」（最後確定），並留意緊隨其後討論的內容，這通常就是題目所問的待辦事項。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — X) The entertainment schedule (娛樂項目時間表) — 對話中沒有提及任何與娛樂節目相關的內容。 X) The guest list (賓客名單) — 對話主要集中在場地和餐飲，並未討論賓客名單。 X) The decorations budget (裝飾預算) — 雖然是派對籌備的一部分，但文中並未具體提到裝飾的預算問題。
