M: Hi，I heard you're looking for a different apartment.

W: Yeah, the place I'm in now is a real dump.

M: It was OK when I was there.

W: Oh. (5)The steam generator keeps breaking and when it does，we lose the heat for several days at the time.（因为锅炉老坏，所以公寓不能持续供暖。）

M: Why doesn't the owner replace it?

W: Well, she said it's cheaper to keep fixing it. She is a nice enough person, just sort of stingy in any case, I'm sick of being cold.

M: Can you get your deposit back if you move?

W: (6)If I give two-month notice, I can get the whole thing back.（只需提前两个月通知，就能取回全额押金。）

M: So what kind of place are you looking for?

W: I think I'll try to get into one of those high rises near the university. There's nothing really special but (7-1)at least they are new and functional.（公寓要新，且功能齐全。）

M: I heard those buildings are pretty noisy. (7-2)The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the other apartment.

W: Oh,（7-3）that will never do. I need some place quiet to finish my thesis.（结合上句可知，隔墙太薄或太吵的地方不适合完成论文。）I guess I'll have to look at some more ads. Maybe new isn't necessarily better.

M: Don't worry. You'll find one soon.
