听力原文：W: Hi, you look a little lost. Do you need some help？

M: No, thanks. I'm just resting, waiting for my family to conic back. They are sightseeing over there.

W: Oh, are you here on vacation？ Why don't you go with them？

M: This kind of thing interests my wife and kids, but it's not really to my taste. In fact, I didn't even want to come to this country.

W: Oh, did you have to come on business？

M: No. We are on vacation. I wanted to go to Europe, but the kids wanted to come here. So we had a family meeting and put it to a vote, and I was outvoted 3 to 1. So here we are!

W: But you are their father! Shouldn't they listen to what you want to do？

M: Well, it's just good common sense that everybody should have a say when an important decision that affects all of us is to be made, such as taking a trip. I was really hoping to go to Europe, but the kids get more out of a trip if they are interested in what they are seeing. We believe there is no sense making kids do anything they don't want to do, so in our family we vote on a lot of things. Oh, here they come.
