英语听力短文17 J-Lo at Macy's

 　　Jennifer Lopez was¹ appearing² at Macy's. A live band³ was playing outside Macy's. Jennifer was Dave's favorite⁴ actress⁵. He had⁶ told his wife⁷ that many times. Macy's was across⁸ the street. "I'm going⁹ to see what all the music is about," he said¹⁰. His wife said, "Oh no, you're not. I know where you're going. You're going to meet your girlfriend¹¹." Is she crazy¹², he wondered¹³. He was almost¹⁴ 60 years old, but she worried¹⁵ that he was still "looking." Because "you have a history," she always told him. But he wasn't looking. A girlfriend would¹⁶ destroy¹⁷ his marriage¹⁸. Nothing was more important¹⁹ to him than his marriage. "How many times have I said that you are my only girlfriend?" he said. "Even²⁰ if Jennifer asked me to marry²¹ her, I would say no." His wife said, "That's what you tell me. But that's not what you would tell her."
