【答案解析】[听力原文]
   W: Good morning. I would like to apply for a credit card. A MasterCard interests me the most, I think.
   M: Alright. Please have a seat. We can get started on the application. Are you currently working? You know, the bank needs to know that you will be able to pay back your credit card.
   W: OK, I understand now. Yes, I do have a job.
   M: How long have you been doing your current job? And what is your gross monthly income?
   W: I have been working with this company for two years. I make $ 3,800 a month before taxes.
   M: Do you rent or own your home?
   W: I rent an apartment.
   M: What is the amount you pay for rent every month?
   W: I pay $1,800 a month in rent.
   M: Now I am going to check your credit report to find your credit score. We use your credit score to determine how reliable you have been in the past.
   W: Oh, so you want to know if I am good about paying my debts.
   M: Exactly, and it looks like you have a credit score of 700.  That is to say, you can get a MasterCard today, and because your score is high, we can also give you a low interest rate.
   W: How will the interest rate affect my credit card?
   M: The lower your interest rate, the less you will have to pay back the bank.
   W: Very good! Is there anything else for me to do?
   M: Just sign this form and you will receive your MasterCa/'d in a few days.
   W: Thank you!
   M: You're welcome.
