【答案解析】[听力原文]
   W: Are you all ready for Christmas?
   M: No, I haven't even started. I've done zero shopping.
   W: Well, you'd better get going. Christmas is only a week away.
   M: I have to tell you that I'm one of those people who really get stressed out by the Christmas rush.
   W: Oh, I'm not. I love the holidays. I love the crowds, the shopping, the holidays, the music, the food, the parties, and all the presents.
   M: That's just the beginning. My wife always spends too much money on Christmas. That takes me till April to pay off all our Christmas bills.
   W: Don't be a miser about it. Think about your kids. Didn't you use to love Christmas when you were a kid?
   M: I guess so. I don't remember.
   W: I know you did. You know, maybe Christmas is for kids, but you can still enjoy it through the eyes of your children.
   M: Well, kids enjoy it because they don't have to do all the shopping and pay all the bills.
   W: Maybe that's true. But you know as well as I do, that Christmas is more than shopping and trees. It's about what's in your heart and how you can make others happy.
   M: You're right. You're absolutely right. I'm going to try harder to be nice to people and try to keep the true spirit of Christmas in my heart.
   W: I'm glad to hear it.
