听力原文:W: I haven't seen Mike for years. How is he getting along?
M:I came across him in the street only yesterday and he told me that he was having trouble with his new business.
W: He has set up another business? I knew nothing about it.
M: He managed a shop last year selling sport clothes but it soon went bankrupt. So he changed his mind.
W: What is he doing now?
M: He is managing a bar. And this is also in a pretty bad stale.
W: Sorry to hear that, but that should be what he's good at.
M: Yes. But he was fined and threatened to close the bar.
W: What went wrong?
M: He's only licensed to sell beer, but he sold hard drinks.
W: He should have minded his steps. But that shouldn't be the reason for...
M: Well... He has had several other setbacks, too.
W: Misfortunes never come alone. What setbacks?
M: The people around him did not support him. Some even tried to play down him.
W: They are jealous, aren't they?
M: Worse than that. Some people even tried to encourage him against his wife, because she wants him to give up the business.
W: I can't believe that.
M: And Mike was in a ruined mood.
W: Let's go and have a good talk with Mike's wife. We need to persuade her to support him.
M: You've taken the words put of my mouth.
