听力原文：M: Hello. W: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Handson. Sorry to bother you. But I'm having a small problem. I thought you might be able to help me with. M: Sure, Paula. What' s up? W: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall, over on the west side of town? Anyway we' ve been happy with it until the past couple of months. M: Yeah. What happened? W: Well, the dishwasher broke down. So we report it to Ms Connors, the owner, she said she' d take care of it. But a month went by and nothing happened. M: Did you get back in touch with her? W: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her, I had the repair done. And I took out the cost from the rent check. M: So, what' s the problem? W: She called here, mad with me. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now she' s threatening to drive us out for not paying the full rent. M: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But'I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out. W: Well, you are over at the law school. So I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Connors. We' re supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight. M: Sure. I haven't studied a lot about contracts yet. But I' d be glad to help you. Why don' t I stop by at about 7:30? W: Thanks, Sam. You' re a lifesaver. (23)
