Anna: Yeah. I saw a news report in The China Post that said gasoline prices hit a record hight for the second week in a row. In my opinion, it's not completely a bad thing though.
Nicholas: How come?
Anna: Higher gasoline prices will draw people's attention to conservation. People won't be able to just close their eyes to the energy issue.
