听力原文：M: Do you mind if I ask you how old you are？

W: Actually, I'd rather not say. But put it this way, I'm on the wrong side of 30.

M: Is that a. good age to be？

W: Um, yes, pretty good. But it's a lot older than 25, which is how old I feel.

M: What's life like when you're in your thirties？

W: Well, not very different from my twenties except that I'm seriously thinking of buying more expensive face creams, and wondering if they really work.

M: What do you think is the best age to be？

W: I think between 25 and 30 is a good age, because you've sorted out what you want and you know how to get it and you've got some experience of trying to get it. At that age, you don't think about the consequences of what you do, whereas when you're a bit older you do tend to worry about the consequences.

M: So do you wish you were still 25？

W: No, I'm happy at the age I am now. I mean I had a good time in my twenties, but I wouldn't necessarily want to relive them.

M: I see.
