听力原文：W: Hi, Sam, I hate to bother you but I wonder if I could have a word with you？

M: Sounds so serious. What's up？

W: Well, the landlord just informed me that he's going to increase our rent by two hundred. I'm wondering how you feel about it.

M: How do I feel about it？ No way! In our tenancy agreement, it says he will have to give us a notice three months in advance if he wants to increase the rent.

W: Yeah, that's right! It's gotta be three months later. Well, I think he realizes his rental fee is below the market rate and he must be feeling a bit ripped off when he could be charging a couple hundred extra. What do you think Sam？ Should we agree to the raise or find somewhere else？

M: Good question. I'm not sure either. The location we're at now is quite convenient. Close to the grocery and near the subway. It'll be hard to find another location like this one.

W: I wonder whether he'll allow room for negotiation. Perhaps a hundred dollars instead of two. Maybe he might be more willing to give a bit if we speak to him right way.

M: Well, he seems to be a nice guy to talk to. But what if he refuses？ Would you go for two then？

W: Well, I guess I would, since it'll be hard to find such a convenient location. Besides, it's close to my school and I can sleep a little later in the mornings.

M: Ha! I figured that's what you'd be concerned about. Well, I have to give it some serious thought. I'm not sure I can afford to cough up an extra hundred a month just to make sure I can sleep in an extra 15 minutes.

W: Didn't you get your loan recently？ That'll cover what you need. Besides, if you could just stop spending so much on cafeteria snacks you'd have lots of money to spare.

M: Yeah, but I'm thinking of getting a new laptop.

W: Well, I tell you, there aren't a lot of apartments that are cheaper, even with this new increase.

M: I know, so when does he want us to come back on this？

W: He told me to let him know this weekend.

M: Sure, by then I should be able to make up my mind.

Questions are based on the following passage．

One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes． (79) It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong~ and you were right about that．"

I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago． He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons． Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing．

I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping． On that particular clue, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place．

(80) There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons． The cartons were stacked three or four feet high． I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks． Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons． For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together; so I went to work．

The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened． When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (罪犯)． He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs． I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good． Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not．
