M: I'm sorry I am so late, Sally. Have you been waiting long?
W: Oh, half an hour. But it doesn't matter. I've had a coffee and I have been reading this guidebook for tourists. Sit down. You look very hot and tired. What would you like to drink?

M: (19) You know I went to the bank to cash some traveler's checks. Well, the exchange rate was looking healthy, but when I went to the teller, they told me the computer system was temporarily down, so they couldn't do any transactions. They said the problem would be fixed in a few minutes, so I waited. And then I started talking to another guy in the bank, and I forgot the time.
W: Oh, really? Someone you met in the bank? Does he work there?
M: No, (20) he's a tourist, from New York. His name's Henry, and he has been here for a week, but he's moving on to Germany tomorrow. He's an architect, and he's spending four weeks traveling around Europe.
W: (21) Just like us!
M: Yeah. (22)He told me the names of some places where we should eat. Great food, and not too expensive, he said. He also gave me this map of the bus system. He said he didn't need it any more.
W: That's useful. Pity he's moving on tomorrow. Ah, here's the waitress. Let's order. Do you want anything to eat, or shall we just have a drink?

听力原文:W: Hey! (19)You got a new television.
M: Yeah! It was delivered yesterday. What do you think of it?
W: It's huge. It practically takes up the entire side of the room.
M: I know. You don't think it's well, do you?
W: I didn't say that. I mean, if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow?
M: It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old and didn't work well. I thought I can afford it. Why not get a new one?
W: It must have been expensive?
M: Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% off.
W: Really? Where?
M: At the stereo city on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size and quality. But the salesman there was pushing these because of the 50% off.
W: Yeah. But 50% off what?
M: 2,400 dollars.
W: You spent $1,200 on a TV?
M: It's got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control.
W: I'm sure. But that's still a lot of money for a television. I don't think you watch TV that much.
M: WelI,I don't. (21) De you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.
W: (21) Honestly, yes. (20) I think you ought to read up on TV's first and choose the model you want before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want.
