國中英語基測出現過 key 的考題。

Joyce: Can you help me take care of my roses? I’ll be away for two weeks.

Ryan: Are you crazy? Don’t you know I’m a flower killer?

Joyce: Why’s that? I remember you have a beautiful garden with all kinds of flowers. I think you’ve been taking good care of them.

Ryan: Not me. It’s my dad. He is good at growing trees and flowers. I think you should ask someone else for help. I’m really not the right person.

Joyce: But I’m leaving tomorrow morning! There’s no time to look for someone else. Please! All you have to do is to water my roses every two days. Here’s the key to my house.

Ryan: It’s just as easy as that?

Joyce: Yeah, just as easy as that!

Ryan: Well... will you kill me if anything goes wrong?

Joyce: Maybe, but I believe you’ll do just fine.
