Maybe don't respect to friends doesn't matter too much.

So Im going to get an early dinner and head over there. M: Whos debating about what？ W: The two candidates for the states senate are going to answer questions from reporters. The Daily News is sponsoring the event. Members of the audience will also have a chance to ask questions, so maybe Ill speak, too. M: Oh, so youre interested in politics. Are you helping one of them？ W: No, I just want to learn more about the candidates so I can make an informed decision. M: Well, I dont think Ill be voting, so I guess I wont bother with that. W: Why arent going to vote？ M: Oh, My one vote doesnt matter. W: Sure it does! M: Well, besides that I dont think any of the politicians these days represent my ideas. Id like to see the government support guaranteed loans for people who start small businesses. Ive wanted to open my own bakery for years and I cant get a loan. W: You know what？ Thats one of the issues theyll probably discuss tonight. One of the candidates wants tax breaks for large companies. He says that will create more jobs. The other candidate owns a restaurant. She wants to start programmes to promote more small businesses. M: Hmm. What do you know？ Maybe I should show up there myself.

what it is—a depiction of a person, an animal, a place, or a thing.

esult they've lost respect for their parents and their elders generally？

W: I don't think so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. I was allowed to take up the career that I liked. I think I respect and love them more for this.

M: Are you quite independent of them now？

W: Yes. Since I left school and started my studies as a nurse, I've become independent financially. I have a government grant which is enough for my keep. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.

M: You seem very close to your parents.

W: I am. I know that many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents but I'm rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you？

M: Well, we value family life very much in our country. I'm very fond of my family, but I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.

W: But they allowed you to come to study in England on your own!

M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; mine treat me as a child.

W: As I said, I'm lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they're out of sympathy with our generation.

M: That's really a problem.

W: Maybe it's just because of a lack of communication.

听力原文：M: OK, Amy. Just tell us what kind of person you like to date. Don't be shy!

W: Well, OK. I've never done this before. I feel kind of silly, but here goes. I guess I really like men who are funny. I love to laugh and be happy. That's the most important thing. But I don't like men who are really loud. I mean, I like men to laugh, but I don't want them to sound like donkeys!

M: OK. What else？

W: Oh. I like men who are intelligent and open-minded. Those two things go together, don't they？ Good conversations are important. I love talking about books and movies and politics. I really hate men who think they're always right, You know？ The stubborn ones who won't listen to new ideas. They always get into had moods if you don't agree with them. I don't like men who are moody.

M: Now, Amy, tell me about the perfect Saturday night date.

W: Hmm. Well, he comes over to my place, and we cook dinner together. Then we put on some jazz music and sit down and eat and talk about important things. Of course, he offers to help with the dishes. It really bugs me when a man won't help clean up.

M: Sounds romantic. And how about the perfect Saturday afternoon date？

W: I guess maybe a couple of games of tennis, or... I like to golf. Maybe a game of golf.

M: So you like sports？

W: I like playing, but I don't like to spend all day watching sports on TV. It's a waste of time.

M: OK. Last question; Is there anything you really don't like？

W: Well, sure. I really don't like men, or people, who don't respect other people.

MAN: Do you？ Why？

WOMAN: Well, you know, the animals are out of their natural environment. They're just here for humans to look at. There's nothing natural about it.

MAN: Yeah, but, if we didn't have any zoos, a lot of species would just, well, they'd face extinction.

WOMAN: Do you really believe that？

MAN: Well, don't you？ I mean they have good breeding projects for some species that are dying out. Um, anyway, I think, there's a trend towards developing zoos to become um... education centers, you know, stimulating information for kids and displays, and that kind of thing.

WOMAN: Yeah, I know they've got lots of ideas, but these ideas are just because in the end, zoos axe outdated, aren't they？ Animals just don't really want to breed in captivity. What we need to do is to take care of the natural environment, make sure that they've still got a place where they can live in the wild.

MAN: Well, yeah, OK. But it's just not happening, is it？ I think in reality you've got to have zoos.

WOMAN: Well, I just can't agree with that. I mean, what is the pleasure in watching animals pacing uP and down in cages？

MAN: Well, look, I mean, zoos are changing. OK. Some older zoos put animals in cages, but what about safari parks？ You know, the animals are fine there. They've got a lot of Space and people see them in a much more natural setting. Um... I think people learn about them and they learn to respect animals. It's probably, in the end, much better for animals that humans respect them in that way.

WOMAN: Well, maybe you're right.
