听力原文：W: Oh, Ken, I have been meaning to talk to you. M: Hi, Denise! What's up? W: I have this great job lined up to manage a clothing store at the mall. M: So what's the problem? W: Well, one of the professors in my department just told me about a summer practice program that is available. She thinks I might be able to practice in the office at the Wayfarer Hotel here in town. M: That sounds like a great opportunity, too. Why not take advantage of it? W: I'd love to, especially since I am studying hotel management. It would be a great way to get some practical experience in my field. M: And you never know, it might lead to something with them after graduation. They're one of the biggest hotel chains in the area. W: You're right. But the problem is that I wouldn't be making nearly as much money as I would be working in the clothing store. Not to mention the discount I'd get on clothes there. M: How much money can you get from your practice work? W: Very little money. But I can get a free room and board for the summer. M: Well, if I were you, I'd take it anyway. You can always get a job during the school year next year to make a few extra bucks. (23)
