听力原文:M: Hi. I have a reservation for tonight.
W: And your name?
M: It's Nelson. Charles Nelson.
W: OK. Mr. Nelson. That's a room for five, and...
M: Excuse me? You mean a room for five dollars.* I didn't know the special was so good.
W: No, no, no. According to our records, a room for five guests was booked under your name.
M: No. No. Hold on. There must be some mistake.
W: OK. Let's check this again. OK, Mr. Charles C. Nelson for tonight...
M: Ah. There's the problem. My name is Charles Nelson, not Charles C. Nelson. You must have two guests under the name.
W: OK. Let me check this again. Oh. OK. Here we are.
M: Yeah.
W: Charles Nelson. A room for one for the 19th...
M: Wait, wait! It was for tonight. Not tomorrow night.
W: Hum. Hum. I don't think we have any rooms for tonight. There's a convention going on in town, and uh, let's see. Yeah, no rooms.
M: Ah come on! You must have something. Anything.
W: Well. We do have some rooms under renovation with just a roll-a-way bed. None of the normal amenities like a TV or working shower or toilet.
M: Ah man. Come on. There must be something else.
W: Well. Let, let me check my computer here. Ah!
M: What?
W: There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available.
M: Great. I'll take it.
W: But I'll have to charge you two hundred fifty dollars for the night.
M: Ah. Man. I should get a discount for the inconvenience.
W: Well. The best I can give you is a ten percent discount plus a ticket for a free continental breakfast.
M: Hey. Isn't the breakfast free anyway?
W: Well, only on weekends.
M: I want to talk to the manager.
W: Wait, wait, wait, Mr. Nelson. I think I can give you an additional 15% discount and I'll throw in a free room for the next time you visit us.
M: That 'll be a long time.

听力原文:W: Well, hi Mr. Brown. How's your apartment working out for you?
M: Well Ms. Nelson. That's what I would like to talk to you about. Well, I want to talk to you about that noise! You see. Would you mind talking to the tenant in 4B and ask him to keep his music down, especially after 10:00?
W: Oh. Who? Me?
M: Why? Yes. The music is blaring almost every night, and it should be your job as manager to take care of things.
W: Hey, I just collect the rent. Besides, the man living there is the owner's son, and he's a walking refrigerator. Hey, I'll see what I can do. Anything else?
M: Well, yes. 'Could you talk to the owners of the property next door about the pungent odor drifting this way?
W: Well, the area is zoned for agricultural and livestock use, so there's nothing much I can do about that.
M: Well, what about the... That, that noise.
W: What noise? I don't hear anything.
M: There, there it is again.
W: What noise?
M: That noise.
W: Oh, that noise. I guess the military has resumed its exercises on the artillery range.
M: You have to be kidding. Can't anything be done about it?
W: Why? Certainly, I've protested this activity, and these weekly activities should cease.., within the next three to five years.
M: Hey, you never told me about these problems before I signed the rental agreement.

听力原文: I found myself facing a dry-cleaning store which has once been one of the best restaurants in New York. On Sundays the old man would take my mother and me for dinner. There had been a balcony where a baker in a tall white hat baked fresh rolls and whenever a customer entered, the baker would look down and put in a fresh batch. I could smell the rolls through the odor of cleaning fluid on Lenox Avenue. I could see the manager who always sat down will4 us while we ate. He had some disease, I suppose, because the right side of his face was swollen out like a balloon, but he always wore a hard wing collar and a white tie, and never seemed sick. A Negro with a moustache was looking through the store window at me. For a moment I had the urge to go and tell him what I remembered, to describe this avenue when no garbage cans were on the street, when the Daimlers and Minervas and Fords had cruised by, and the cop on the corner threw back the ball when it got through the outfield on 114th street. I did not go into the store, nor even toward our house. Any claim I had to anything had lapsed. I went downtown instead and sat in my room, trying to read.
According to the speaker, the dry-cleaning store used to be a ______.
A. hote
B. restaurant
C. bakery
D. garage
