新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第一冊(cè) Unit 8 Listening for Rents or Charges

1. M: Look at this ad! “One bedroom apartment, with kitchen and bathroom.” It’s close to our

school, and the price is only $250 a month.

W: But I want an apartment at least $50 cheaper.

Q: What is the highest rent the woman is willing to pay?

B) $200.

2. M: Laura, I really hate to ask this, but I think I’m going to be five days late with this month’s

rent. Do you think you could help me out?

W: I’m afraid I can’t. It’s $350! I haven’t much money. I have to save hard to pay my own rent; and it’s almost twice as high as yours.

Q: How much is the man’s monthly rent?

A)$350.

3. M: Okay, Mrs. Smith, I’m all packed and ready to move out. There’s just the matter of the

$500 damage deposit and I’ll be off.

W: Well, Rob, there’s also the matter of some cigarette burns on the carpet and a hole in one of the walls. Those damages will cost $100 to repair.

Q: How much is the landlady willing to give back to the man?

B)$400.

4. M1: Frank, we need to talk about this month’s utility bill. It’s $220, and I’ve give you half the amount. Why are you asking for $50 morre?

W2: Don’t you think you should pay a little bit more than that? You have an extra heater in your bedroom. And you have been taking two hot showers a day, sometimes for almost an hour. I think you should be thankful I’m only asking for $160.

Q: How much is the second speaker asking the first one to pay?

B)$160.

5. M: Why are you still staying here? The girls on this floor are so noisy! You can get an

apartment off campus for just a little more money. Perhaps $450 a month.

W: Well, actually, I was planning to pay the extra $50 to move there. But I changed my idea when I learned those noisy girls will move out next term.

Q: What is the rent for the girl’s dorm?

B)$400.
