听力原文：M: Hi, Linda.

W: Hi, James. What are you doing in the mall？ I thought you said you avoid these places.

M: Oh, I still do, but it's my roommate's birthday tomorrow and I am looking around to get him a present. He's not exactly the easiest person to find a present for.

W: Have you had any ideas of what to get？

M: Not really. I want to get him something he will be able to use instead of something he'lI just put into the closet.

W: That's true. I know often I get something from somebody I hardly ever use. And they stay in the closet or garage before they get thrown away.

M: I know. That's the problem. That's why I hate buying gifts for people because it can never be perfect.

W: Perhaps you are trying too hard to get something very impressive or decorative. I always think a gift should be practical.

M: Oh, I know. His bag is almost wrecked. Maybe I should get him a new one instead.

W: It sounds like a good gift.

M: Gosh, now I am wondering which color I should pick. He is really picky about the color.

W: That's not difficult. What was the last color he chose？ He obviously chose it for a reason.
