M: How much do you want to spend?
W: Well, he was very good to me. He helped me edit my essay for the scholarship contest. So I want to spend at least 75 dollars.

M: We can buy something for Mom and Dad here, and then go buy Uncle Teddy's gift on State Street.
W: Good plan. What should we get for Mom though?
M: She said she wants one of those automatic foot massagers. I think they sell them at Sears.

Father's Stroke Leaves Loving Son Feeling Guilty
Dear Harlan,
My father recently had a stroke. When I heard the news, I went to see him and my family right away. I live in California, and they live in Canada. lie is recovering slowly. My mom is with him at the hospital every day making sure that he is getting the therapy and help when he needs. But she is having a hard time emotionally and financially. It's like a nightmare that won't end.
I have a good job here in a band that relies on me. I don't have the money to keep flying there, and my job won't permit me to take more than two days off a week. I feel like quitting everything and being with him and my Mom. I am newly married, which makes the situation hard.
Should I move back home?
Struggling
Dear Struggling,
Listen, you're not being fair to yourself. If you move, you're going to feel guilty because you've abandoned your band, your job and uprooted your new spouse (and both of your lives). If you don't move back home, you're going to feel guilty because you're not there to help. Either way, you're bound to feel guilty. At least live where you can be happy and guilty.
When you cut through all the emotions, your life is not in Canada. Your mom is at home for your dad. Be there to support her (and him) by calling and visiting as much as possible. Make sure your mom knows that you're trying to balance it all and help. Guide her toward emotional support. If necessary, take a part-time job on days off to help pay for more visits home. Just avoid abandoning your life, hopes and dreams. No parent would want that.
Harlan

听力原文:M: Good evening, Madam. What can I do for you?
W: The name is McDonald. We've booked two double rooms for a week.
M: Let me see. I'm afraid there's been a mistake, Madam. Look, you've booked for next week.
W: Oh, Lord. I shouldn't have let my mom do the booking for us. Haven't you any room free at all?
M: At this time of the year? In August, Madam? I'm terribly sorry, but the whole town's booked out. I'm afraid you won't find a room anywhere.
W: Not even a bed and breakfast place?
M: You might possibly find a farm if you went inland.
W: We want to be by the sea because of the children. They especially like to build sand-castles.
M: Then I don't know what to suggest. There's a caravan park two miles along the coast. But I'm sure it's full. Or there's a Butlan's holiday camp.
W: No, thank you. We want some peace and quiet. Is there anywhere we can get a meal? We want to have our supper.
M. At this hour, it's already night o'clock. You could try the next town. The restaurants will be closed, but there are one or two snack bars.
W: We've been twelve hours on the road. There were queues five miles long in places. The children are dead tired.
M: Well, I'm sure we can do something for the children. They can sleep on the sofas in the lounge. But I'm afraid, I can't help you and your husband.
W: Oh, don't worry about us. We can sleep in the car. Cheer up dear. The drive home won't be so bad. There won't be nearly so much traffic going back to London.
