听力原文：M: Carol, did you take the car to the garage today? W: Yes, I did. Still at that garage that we used to get the car repaired. M: What did the repairman say? (23)And every time I start it up, the engine runs for a minute or so, and then dies, so that it is very oil consuming. W: The man said the plugs were bad. He checked it very carefully and said that the brakes should be fixed, too. I told him to go ahead. M: How much is it going to cost all together? W: That depends. And it may take a little long time to get the car back, (24) because so many cars are on the list of repair. M: Well, I asked Ed to stop by in the morning. I'll ride to work with him. How are you going to work? W: It does some inconvenience for me, but don't worry about that. You see, I can take the bus or cab. M: I think I'd better start working some overtime. We need a new car. W: Do you think so? M: (25) Well, we have promised our son to drive to California next summer I don't want something that's going to have trouble. W: Maybe we should wait a couple of years and just go to New York next summer, or we could visit your mother in Chicago. M: No, the kids really want to go and we've been planning it for so long. W: Well, we may save the money to buy a new one. (20)
