听力原文:M: Hi,Sis. I just came over to drop off the DVDs you wanted,and…Hey,wow!Where did you get all of this stuff? W: I bought it. So,what do you think of my new entertainment center?And the Widescreen TV… M: Bought it? W: …and my new DVD player. Here,let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one. M: But where did you get the dough to buy all these?You didn't borrow money from morn 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…like the plane ticket I got recently. M: What plane ticket? W: Oh yeah,my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break,and of course,I need some new clothes for that so…… M: I don't want to hear it. How does a student credit card control spending?It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway,student credit cards just 1ead to impulse spending…as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high,and if you miss a payment,the rates,well,just jump! W: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit… M: …of $20,000? W: No,not quite that high. Anyway,… M: I've heard enough. 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 in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill? W: Um,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. (26)
