听力题 M: Hi, Linda. W: Hi, James. What are you doing in the mall? I thought you said you avoid these places. M: Oh, I still do, but it''s my roommate''s birthday tomorrow and I am looking around to get him a present. He''s not exactly the easiest person to find a present for. W: Have you had any ideas of what to get? M: Not really. I want to get him something he will be able to use instead of something he''ll just put into the closet. W: That''s true. I know often I get something from somebody I hardly ever use. And they stay in the closet or garage before they get thrown away. M: I know. That''s the problem. That''s why I hate buying gifts for people because it can never be perfect. W: Perhaps you are trying too hard to get something very impressive or decorative. I always think a gift should be practical. M: Oh, I know. His bag is almost wrecked. Maybe I should get him a new one instead. W: It sounds like a good gift. M: Gosh, now I am wondering which color I should pick. He is really picky about the color. W: That''s not difficult. What was the last color he chose? He obviously chose it for a reason.
