听力原文:WOMAN: John, sorry to disturb you, but I was wondering if you know of a good restaurant around here. I've got some old friends staying with me at the moment, and they want to take me out to dinner. I've no idea where to go.
MAN: Well. let me think.
WOMAN: You know, somewhere with good food, nice environment, pleasant, relaxed atmosphere that sort of thing.
MAN: The trouble is there isn't a great deal of choice in town. I mean if you want to take the car, then you've got some great restaurants not far away in the country.
WOMAN: Well, we'd prefer to stay in town.
MAN: Well, one of the nicest restaurants I've been to is Gilbey's which is in the town centre.
WOMAN: Oh yes, I've driven past it. It's near the Town Hall, isn't it?
MAN: That's right. It's expensive but it's very refined and classy, you know, quite sophisticated food, and a great atmosphere but I don't know if it's open every evening.
WOMAN: Well, maybe we'll try that. I'd better give them a ring to find out if they're open.
MAN: But what about Indian food?
WOMAN: Oh yea, I love Indian.
MAN: Well, how about the Golden Bengal?
WOMAN: Oh, that's a great place, I spent an evening there with Jan and Phil-you know them, don't you?
MAN: Yes. I do.
WOMAN: I thought the food was OK, and the staff are very friendly. It was a bit noisy though, I supposed it was because it was a Saturday night.
MAN: What about Gino's? I went there to celebrate my promotion last year. The wine was really excellent.
WOMAN: Yeah, I've been there, but I didn't rate the food very much. It was a bit disappointing. I mean, the helpings were enormous, but my lasagne was cold and the service was a bit slow. It's one of those cliche Italian restaurants where the waiter comes round with an enormous pepper mill and grins at you.
