听力原文：W: Peter, where is the ear? I haven't seen you drive to work for a long time! Is it broken or stolen?

M: Hi, Susan] Oh, no! Of course not! I give up driving to work. Instead, I ride to my working place.

W: I don't think so. It will take you at least 25 minutes to get to our company from here.
