17.A) He will help the woman with her reading.

　　B) The lounge is not a place for him to study in.

　　C) He feels sleepy whenever he tries to study.

　　D) A cozy place is rather hard to find on campus.

　　W：I found the lounge such a cozy place to study in. I really like the feeling in sitting on the sofa and doing the reading.

　　M：Well, for me the hardest part about studying here is staying awake.

　　Q：What does the man mean?

　　B)。有两个选项以he作主语，还出现了reading，study，campus等，可以推测对话内容与校园中的学习生活相关。对话中女士认为在休息室学习很舒服，男士说对他而言，在那里学习最难做到的是不打瞌睡，可见男士不适合在休息室里学习。故本题答案为B)。
