听力原文： M: Happy Anniversary!

W: Oh, thank you. The flowers are beautiful. You shouldn't have… especially since our anniversary was last week.

M: What？ Oh, I completely forgot...

W: Again？

M: No way. I can't believe it.

W: Neither can I, but you did.

M: Ah, how can I make it up to you… again？ Anything!

W: Okay, let's negotiate. First of all, I want to go on that dream vacation you've always promised me.

M: You mean, to Chicago？

W: No! To Europe. I want to fly first class and stay at 5-star hotels. And no more places with broken heaters, leaky showers, and dirty bedding.

M: Ah, were those places that bad？

W: Well, SOMETHING a little nicer, and, oh yeah. Next, I want to get a new kitchen stove. The old one took its last breath weeks ago.

M: But we…

W: No, we're NOT going to use the outdoor barbecue anymore. It isn't any fun at all cooking outside in the winter, with icicles hanging from your nose.

M: That bad？

W: Not for YOU since you're always watching from inside.

M: Oh, well.

W: And finally, I want a new wardrobe: some new dresses, shirts, pants, earrings...

M: But…

W: And, NO, I'm not going to wear your grandmother's old secondhand pants again.

M: Is that it？

W: Uh, hmm, for now. So, why don’t we grab a bite to eat before we start planning the entire adventure.

M: Ok, I am a bit hungry now.

W: These steaks are really delicious. Well, let's see. Paris, Rome, London, then a short detour to Russia, China, and, ooh, and Hawaii on the way home.

M: Wow. I'd better ask the boss for a huge raise.
