Read the following text. For question choose the correct answer.

The most recent film in the Flight to Venus series is in our cinemas now. In spite of an excellent performance by Dee Francis as the archaeologist on the spaceship, the story is much weaker than the previous two films in the series and, in my opinion, not as entertaining.

Personally, I would prefer to have one big screen and open lots of files on that, but she says that two screens are better for her eyes! She phoned a local shop about buying the monitors yesterday and they arrived this morning. Excellent service! Maybe she'll get a third one soon!

Frowning, Mike stood up and walked over to their computers. They were all showing the same picture as Mike had on his. Mike felt a finger of fear run up his back.

Why does Mike starttoworry? .........
