听力原文：M: Hello, Jane. What was the film like? W: Awful. It was a complete waste of time and money. M: Why? What was it about? W: It was about a married couple. They had to live with the wife's mother, because they didn't have enough money to buy a house of their own. M: A lot of young people have to do that. W: Yes, but the husband had to work overtime three times a week, so he was always tired. M: It sounds like the story of my life. W: Yes, it does, doesn't it? But this man was always over-tired, and he couldn't sleep. So he used to take two sleeping pills every night. M: I take sleeping pills sometimes. W: Yes, but not two every night. Anyway, the strain was too much for him. He had a nervous breakdown and had to go to hospital. M.. It sounds a very depressing film. W: Not really. His wife was able to find a good job as an interpreter, because she could speak French and German fluently. After a few months' work, she had a better job than her husband. So in the end, they were able to buy a house, and he didn't have to work any more. Stupid, wasn't it. M: I don't know. My wife used to speak French. I must tell her to brush it up. (23)
