听力题 M: Good afternoon, Linda. W: Good afternoon, Ken. What brings you here? M: Well, I just sent my car to the garage so I thought I''d better pop by to say hi, since I''m in the neighborhood. W: What happened to your car? Didn''t you just get it fixed last week? M: I did. But this time it''s something else. The filter needs to be changed and the brakes keep making squeaky noises, whenever I tap them. W: I used to have that problem and it worried me every time I stepped on the brakes. I thought I was going to go off the road or something until I took care of it with a few tools. M: I just received an estimate and it''s going to cost me $200 for parts and labor. I hope that''s the end of it, because 1 can''t afford to have more work done to it again. W: I guess you must regret buying such a lemon. Didn''t you buy it three months ago? M: It''s embarrassing. I was only looking at the exterior and neglected the engine, which should be the priority when it comes to second-hand vehicles. W: Exactly. But that''s what you chose at that time. M: 1 even thought I had bargained like a pro, since I got it for next to nothing. Now I think maybe I''d have been better off with nothing. What a headache, I tell you! W: Well, just think of it this way. You paid for your lesson on your car. M: You are right. But I think it is a costly one and I''m not going to make the same mistake again. W: Don''t worry. Perhaps it''s not as bad as you think. Maybe you just need a little mechanical help from your more mechanically inclined friends—like me.
