听力原文：W: Charles, I want to ask if you know anything about hotels on the Costa Brava. M: Why? No, I'm afraid I can't be very much help to you there. W: Well, it's just that we've been thinking of taking the family to Spain this summer and at this rather late stage we're trying to organize ourselves a suitable hotel. But I thought that you’d been to the Costa Brava. M: It's certainly a bit late. But have you looked at the ads? W: Well, yes. As a matter of fact I was reading one ad only this morning in the Sunday paper which sounded marvelous. M: For a hotel? W: Yes. Just outside Barcelona. It said that this hotel war right on the beach, and that's essential as far as we're concerned. M: I know just what you mean. W: And all the rooms have balconies facing the sea and overlooking the beach. M: Expensive? W: No. That war the remarkable thing about it. You know, even allowing for a bit of exaggeration in the ad, it seemed to have a lot to offer. M: Which is unlikely with yours, from the sound of it. W: Well, yes, but you can never tell, can you? And the food's good. M: Of course. The only way to find out for certain is to go and try it. And that's taking rather a risk. W: Yes, I agree with you. Where are Joan's family are going to spend summer?
