【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: So what's the next thing on the agenda, Mary?
W: Well, it's the South Theatre Company. They want to know if we'd be interested in sponsoring a tour they want to make to East Asia.
M: East Asia? Uh...and how much are they hoping to get from less?
W: Well, the letter mentions ￡20,000, but I don't know if they might settle for less.
M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?
W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in town for as much money as they think they'll give.
M: And we are worth ￡20,000, right?
W: It seems so.
M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What do we get out of it?
W: Oh, good publicity, I suppose. So what I suggest is not that we just give them a sum of money, but that we offer to pay for something specific, like travel or something, and that in return, we ask for our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give us free advertising space in it.
M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that.
W: I know. But why don't we offer to pay for the printing of the programs ourselves on condition that on the front cover there's something like "This program is presented with the compliments of Norland Electronics," and free advertising, of course?
M: Good idea. Well, let's get back to them and ask what the program they want will cost. Then we can see if we are interested or not.
What do we learn about the South Theatre Company?
