With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk ________ (说服他不买车).

听力原文：M: Hi, I've been looking for you since the morning. Where have you been？

W: Yeah, I don't feel like hanging out with the crowd any more, especially since Jane stopped coming to school.

M: It's such a pity about her parents; losing one parent is bad enough, but losing them both on the same day and in such an accident...It's terrible! Have you seen her since？

W: No. I tried talking to her on the phone. But she refused to talk. She's quite down.

M: The other day, I talked to Mr. Smith—you know that tall guy who works in the Dean's Office. Apparently, Jane is thinking of dropping out of school. She has almost no money. Her parents didn't have much savings.

W: Yeah, I've been quite worried about her. But simply feeling sorry for her is far from enough; we have to think of some way to help her. Have any suggestion？

M: Well, I could possibly give her some money. I've saved some up from my part-time job.

W: You're so generous! But that wouldn't be a long-term solution.

M: That's true. Perhaps we could help her find a part-time job.

W: Good idea! The lady who runs the shop next to my door could be helpful. If Jane is interested, I can introduce her to the lady.

M: Great! Once she gets a regular income, things will be better. More than anything else, it will take her mind off her tragedy.

W: Could we organize a fund-raiser for her？

M: Well, I'm not sure how that would work. You know, talking help from us is one thing, but getting the whole school involved may not be a good idea.

W: Yeah, you're right. We'll think of something else. OK, let's go ahead with what we've planned. Bye.

M: Bye.
