听力原文:W: Hi, Bill! I just heard about your aunt Kathy's death. I am sorry.
M: Thanks, Nancy. We will really miss her.
W: I know. She was so nice to you.
M: Yes, she was so nice to the whole family. You know, she even left Barbara and me a large sum of money.
W: Oh, really? What do you plan to do with the money?
M: I have no idea. I never thought of having such a big fortune.
W: You might want to talk to Jeff Hunter, my broker, about investing some of it. As a broker, he can help you. The brokerage firm he works for is one of the best in our country.
M: That's a wonderful idea.
W: Have you ever had experience in investment?
M: Oh, yeah. Actually, I already have a small stock portfolio. Barbara and I own some shares in four large companies.
W: That's great. And I am sure you will get some good advice from Mr. Hunter. And perhaps he can also give you some information on tax policy.
M: Thanks. But why do I need to know the tax policy?
W: You know that you will have to pay estate taxes on the inheritance?
M: I could hardly forget about it.
W: So Mr. Hunter would be able to advise you about your taxable income, and perhaps he can suggest some tax shelters for you.
M: It's very kind of you. But I am still worrying that I do not have enough money to be a speculative investor.
W: Well, my broker can give you the latest information in all areas of the stock market, not just in investment for speculation.
M: That's great then. I hope to talk to him because I am thinking of increasing my dividends from stocks.
W: Maybe he will suggest some currently active stocks for you to invest in. He also handles municipal bonds, the income from which is tax-exempt. Talk to him soon, here's his phone number.
M: Thanks a lot!

I learnt very soon in our relationship that Kathy was jealous. She did not like to think that I had anything that she did not have. We would have great fun going out shopping. However, if I bought, say, a dress for a party, and she thought my dress was better than hers, she would start to say slightly unkind things about it. I could not understand this at all, and even now it puzzles me.
The other problem was my mother. She thought Kathy was common. She thought Kathy had a bad influence over me. She even disliked Kathy’s way of speaking. She thought her pronunciation was common. Mum disliked Katy and looked down on her and kept telling me to stop seeing her. If ever I invited her into the house, she would be angry and tell me off as soon as Kathy was gone.
