M: Oh, hi, Hilda. What are you doing here？

W: Uh, I'm usually here on weekends. It's my dad's shop. So, you are looking for a bike？

M: Yeah. Now the weather is warming up. I thought I'd get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time.

W: Well, you came to the right place. Do you know what you'd like？

M: Well, I don't want a racer or a touring bike or anything. Mostly I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work.

W' How far is that？

M: About four miles.

W: Are there a lot of hills on the way？

M: Some I guess. But, nm, maybe I should just tell you in front that I've only got a hundred and fifty dollars. Can I get anything decent for that？

W: Well, you're not going to get anything top of the line. But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition.

听力原文：W: Hey Taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over.

M: Where to？

W: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and...

M: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on!

W: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there？

M: Well, that all depends on the traffic ,but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes.

W: Oh, by the way, do you know what time the museum closes？

M: Well, I would guess around 6:00 o'clock.

W: Uh, do you have the time？

M: Yeah; It's half past four.

W: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price？

M: Umm... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, and the portions are larger than most places I've been to.

W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum？

M: Well, you can catch the subway fight outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often.
