听力原文:W: Good morning, Sunshine Speedboat Company. What can I do for you!
M: Good morning, can I speak to Nancy White?
W: Ah, Jacques, nice talking to you again. How's the weather in your part of the world?
M: Couldn't be better, Nancy. Sunny, 29℃, light breeze...
W: Stop! I can't take any more. I'm suffering the severe cold here.
M: Oh, terrible. Sorry to hear that Maybe you can come to join us; Susan is always expecting you.
W: Thank you, and Susan; she is always so kind. So, what can I do for you, Jacques?
M: I need a couple of your SB2000 speedboats to rent to guests. Can you give me a price quote?
W: Let me see... Uh, the list price is $6,500 U.S. You're a valued customer, so I'll give you a 10% discount.
M: That's very reasonable. Do you have them in stock?
W: Sure we do! We set up new inventory controls last year, so we don't have many backlogs any more.
M: That's good. The tourist season is just around the corner, so I need them pretty quick. What's the earliest shipping date you can manage?
W: They can be ready for shipment in 2-3 weeks.
M: Perfect. What's the total CIF price?
W: Hang on... The price will be $15,230 U.S. to your usual port. Do we have a deal?
M: You bet! Send me a fax with all the information, and I'll send you my order right away. I'll pay by irrevocable letter of credit, as usual. Same terms as always?
W: Of course.
M: Great! Nice doing business with you again, Nancy. Bye for now, and say hello to the family for me.
W: Will do, and the same goes for me. Bye, Jacques.

M: But where did you get the money to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad again, did you?
W: Of course not. I got it with this!
M: This? Let me see that... Have you been using Dad's credit card again?
W: No, silly. It's mine. It's a student credit card.
M: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these?
W: I got an application in the mail.
M: Well, why did you get one in the first place?
W: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash.
M: How does a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending.., as I can see hem. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump!
W: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player...
M: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea, but
this is ridiculous. And how on earth are you going to pay your credit card bill? W: Urn, with my birthday money?. It's coming up in a week.
M: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That's the least I can do.

W: OK. Is that a credit card or a debit card?
M: I'm sorry. I don't understand your question. What is the difference?
