听力原文:M: Hi Come in. W: Hi. I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house. M: Sure,I am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school,I've really had a tight budget.Let me show you the place.Here's the living room. W: Oh.It looks like you could use a new carpet…and those stains? M: Well.I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don't have the money to do it right now. W: And what about the kitchen? M: Right this way.Look.It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances except… W: What? M: Well, the refrigerator door is broken and it won't shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don't worry. I've just pushed a box against it to keep it shut. W: Great. M: Ah. It isn't that bad. W: Well, how about the bathroom? M: Well....It is fine, but, uh, the tiles in the bathroom need to be replaced, and the window needs fixing. W: Let me see. The tile.., what? The window? Where's the window pane? M: Well, that's another slight problem. I've put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn on the heat. W: Hey, I think I've seen enough. I can't believe you've survived under these conditions. M: So what do you think? You really can't beat a place like this for $450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those. W: No, thank you. I think I've seen enough. (20)
