Question 3 is based on the conversation you have just heard

M: Helen, this is the most fascinating article I've ever come across. I think you should spare some time to read it.

W: Oh, really? I thought that anything about the election will be tedious.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?

解析：四个选项都是概括性的名词，推测题目与主旨或话题相关。对话中男士向女士推荐一篇精彩文章，女士则表示她以为所有关于选举的文章都很无趣。可见这是一篇关于选举的文章，故A选项“一篇关于选举的文章”为正确答案。
