听力原文：F: Henry, Christmas is coming. Don't you think that we should get something for the kids?

M: Of course. But I'm too busy to think of such thins. You see people throng to our store to get Christmas gifts.

F: But it's so convenient for you. You can just pick up something when you are having a break.

M: OK. But you should tell me first what do you want for the kids.

F: Well, that's why I'm talking to you. What do you think they should be given?

M: Jerry has grown up. Maybe we can give him something different from last few years. Instead of giving him some silly toys and snacks, I think we can get him a bicycle. What would you say?

F: That's a good idea. He will like it. And Jessie, she wants so much to have a Barbie doll, maybe we should buy one for her?

M: She has already had so many dolls. Every time she wants a new one badly, but then she gets tired of it within only three days. We should have told her to be more matured when making a decision.

F: Oh, Henry, she is only a girl of four years old! It's not fair and not reasonable to ask her to understand everything.

M: Don't argue with me, you know I like her better than I love Jerry. I'm just afraid that she would be spoiled.
