听力原文:
Mr Black gave his wife money every Friday, but she always spent it before the next Wednesday. For the next two days she had no money.
“What did you spend all that money on?” Mr Black asked her. “I don’t know,” she always answered.
One Friday Mr Black brought home a notebook. He gave it to his wife. “Now look,” he said to her. “When you get money from me, write it down on this page, and on the next page write down what you do with the money.”
When Mr Black came home the next Tuesday, his wife showed him the book. On the first page she wrote: “Friday, June 28. I got $180 from John,” and on the next page: “Tuesday, July 2. I have spent it all.”
