听力原文：W: I haven't seen Mike for years. How is he getting along? M:I came across him in the street only yesterday and he told me that he was having trouble with his new business. W: He has set up another business? I knew nothing about it. M: He managed a shop last year selling sport clothes but it soon went bankrupt. So he changed his mind. W: What is he doing now? M: He is managing a bar. And this is also in a pretty bad stale. W: Sorry to hear that, but that should be what he's good at. M: Yes. But he was fined and threatened to close the bar. W: What went wrong? M: He's only licensed to sell beer, but he sold hard drinks. W: He should have minded his steps. But that shouldn't be the reason for... M: Well... He has had several other setbacks, too. W: Misfortunes never come alone. What setbacks? M: The people around him did not support him. Some even tried to play down him. W: They are jealous, aren't they? M: Worse than that. Some people even tried to encourage him against his wife, because she wants him to give up the business. W: I can't believe that. M: And Mike was in a ruined mood. W: Let's go and have a good talk with Mike's wife. We need to persuade her to support him. M: You've taken the words put of my mouth. (23)
