M: Hurry, there's a bus coming.
W: Why run? There will be another one in two or threeminutes.

W: Well, it's not as bad as it looks. It isn't due until Thursday morning.
解析:
15. A 关键在于听明白another one中的one代替的是前面的bus,两三分钟后还会来一辆公交车。Why do sth. 是不主张做某事的表达。B,C均与对话内容无关;D项错在this,应该是the next。
16. D 关键在于听懂比较结构not as bad as it looks"不想看上去那么糟"以及not due until"直到......才到期"。说明作业不难,而且时间充裕,因此选D。A正好把难度颠倒;B中的too difficult也不对;作业的上缴日期截止到星期四,但这并不等于C“他们直到截止日才能完成”,故C不正确。
