听力原文：W: Why are you doing going through all these newspapers？

M: Oh, you know, I've just come back from New York. I'm trying to find a house for my family to live in. But I've got to go through all these advertisements here and just can't find anything good. What shall I do？

W: Well, what do you and your family really want？

M: All we need is a comfortable three-bedroom house.

W: Why don't you take this. It's in the city center and has three bedrooms, a bathroom, a modern kitchen, a lounge, and a dining-room. The price is reasonable.

M: But look here. It's near the railway station, too noisy. And my wife prefers a quiet place. She can't bear any noise.

W: Well, I know of a four-bedroom house in the suburbs. It's got a garden and a garage.

M: That sounds good. Is there shopping nearby？

W: I think so, but I'm not sure.

M: Would it be very far from our company？

W: About 20 minutes' drive. Another important point is, there are a lot of trees around the house and the air is always fresh. By the way, it is much cheaper than that in the city center.

M: That's very nice. I'll talk it over with my wife.
