M: Hello, Gina! We’ve spoken so many times on the phone, but it’s so good to finally meet you in person!
   W: Hello, Jason. Good to meet you, too. So how was the flight?
   M: Pretty good. There was a bit of turbulence while we were over the Pacific Ocean, but it wasn’t too bad. The worst thing was the guy behind me. He snored all through the night!
   W: Really? But you were in first class! Nobody woke that guy up?
   M: The stewardess said it was not the company policy to wake people up for any reason.
   W: That’s terrible! So you didn’t get any sleep?
   M: Not much...but that’s ok...I’m a night owl anyway.
   W: So, aside from visiting our factory and offices, are there any other things you want to accomplish while you’re in China?
   M: I’d love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall.
   W: That’s not a problem.
   M: Also...I’d like to do some shopping while I’m here.
   W: Well, China is a shopping paradise.
   M: To be honest, I’m not really sure about what I’m looking for. But I need gifts for my wife and kids, and I should bring something back for the senior partners of my firm as well.
   W: Hum...I’d recommend silk for your wife. Maybe a bathrobe or perhaps a shawl. Silk dresses and shirts are good, too.
   M: Yeah...that sounds good. But my wife is picky so I’ll need your help to choose the right one. It should be classy and not too flashy.
   W: I think I know just the store to visit. Leave it to me.
   M: Hey! You know what might be good gifts for my business associates? Chinese antiques!
   W: Well, we certainly have lots of antique art, statues and carvings, but in most cases it’s not legal to take genuine antiques out of China.
   M: Oh, I see. That makes sense. You have to preserve your heritage.
   W: But there are many reproductions of antiques for sale.
   M: You mean fakes?
   W: A fake is when the dealer lies and says the piece is ancient. A reproduction is legal and they can be quite beautiful. You could take home some classical Chinese statutes as decorations for their offices.
   M: Yeah! That would look cool. Maybe some scrolls or traditional paintings.
   W: Good idea. Scrolls with Chinese cursive calligraphy look great on an office wall. And...they might even bring you luck!
   M: You can’t beat that! But what about the kids?
   W: Humm...that’s a bit trickier. There are of course, lots of counterfeit goods available like software or music, but buying them isn’t recommended.
   M: No, I don’t buy counterfeits. Besides...my sons have loads of computer games and CDs.
   W: Hey! I know. You could have old-style Chinese suits custom-made for them! They can go around looking like little Chinese emperors! I know a great tailor!
   M: Ha! Perfect! They’d like that for sure. Wow Gina. You’re full of great ideas. I should tell your boss to give you a raise.
   W: Not at all. Just demonstrating some traditional Chinese hospitality.

选项 A、Software.
B、Music.
C、Old-style Chinese suits.
D、Computer games.

答案 C

解析 关于给孩子的礼物选择。录音中Jason说: “No,I don’t buy counterfeits.Besides…my sons have loads of computer games and CDs.”,Gina建议“Hey!I know.You could have old-style Chinese suits custom-made for them!They can go around looking like little Chinese emperors!I know a great tailor!”可知Gina表示并不推荐买盗版的软件和音乐光盘,可以排除A和B;Jason表示孩子们已经有很多computer games and CDs,排除了D。后来Gina建议可以买唐装,Jason表示孩子们一定会喜欢的,所以答案是C。
