【答案解析】[解析] 17-20 M: Hi, honey. Guess what? I bought a new tape recorder. Guess how much it was. W: Fifty dollars? M: $ 29. 95! W: What a great deal! M: Yeah, it was a real bargain. I'm going to try it. And I also bought a tape. I'm really excited about this. That's the play button, right? Oh, the thing doesn't work! Can you believe it? I just bought it today and it doesn't work! W: OK, calm down. I know it is not convenient, but you can take it back. M: Not convenient? It's terrible! I'm going to find out when the shop closes. I have the receipt. There's the telephone number. (dialing) Hello, I just bought a recorder in your store and it doesn't work, so I want to return it… What? Nothing in your shop can be returned? I can only exchange it? Unbelievable! (hang up angrily) W: From now on, you probably should test anything you want before you leave the store! M: I'm going to the store right now. That's the only way I will get back my money. W: Maybe you should just call the Consumer Service Commission. Oh, wow! You see, there is an on-off button at the bottom. You didn't turn it on! M: Thank goodness!
