W: I haven’t seen Mike for years. How is he getting along?
M:I came across him in the street only yesterday and he told me that he was having trouble with his new business.
W: He has set up another business? I knew nothing about it.
M:  He managed a shop last year selling sport clothes but it soon went bankrupt. So he changed his mind.
W: What is he doing now?
M: He is managing a bar. And this is also in a pretty bad stale.
W: Sorry to hear that, but that should be what he’s good at.
M: Yes. But he was fined and threatened to close the bar.
W: What went wrong?
M: He’s only licensed to sell beer, but he sold hard drinks.
W: He should have minded his steps. But that shouldn’t be the reason for...
M: Well... He has had several other setbacks, too.
W: Misfortunes never come alone. What setbacks?
M: The people around him did not support him. Some even tried to play down him.
W: They are jealous, aren’t they?
M: Worse than that. Some people even tried to encourage him against his wife, because she wants him to give up the business.
W: I can’t believe that.
M: And Mike was in a ruined mood.
W: Let’s go and have a good talk with Mike’s wife. We need to persuade her to support him.
M: You’ve taken the words put of my mouth.
选项 A、Because his beer was not fine.
B、Because he sold hard drinks.
C、Because he sold beer.
D、Because his hard drinks were not fine.
答案 B
解析 [听力原文]
Why was Mike threatened to close his bar?
[听前预测] 四个选项均以Because开头，由此可知本题询问原因，由sold beer，sold hard drinks，not fine等词可以推测，本题可能与销售啤酒或烈酒有关。
[答案详解] 目的原因题[考频：10]。本题关键句为“He’s only licensed to sell beer，but he sold hard drinks.”迈克只有销售啤酒的执照，可是他也销售烈酒。故正确答案为B)。
