Woman 1: What are you watching? Woman 2: Oh, just the news.
Woman 1: Can I change the channel?
Woman 2: In just a minute. I want to see the end of this report. Woman 1: I didn't know you were interested in the news.
Woman 2: Well, it's Christiane Amanpour. She's really great. She usually reports from London -- the city where she was born. Woman 1: I don't know her.
Woman 2: She's an international correspondent. She goes to some really dangerous places. When there's a war, she's usually there. Woman 1: Sounds scary.
Woman 2: Yeah. And -- get this -- she's a wife and mother, too. Woman 1: That's very impressive! Conversation 2
Man 1: That's a strange -- looking book. What is it?
Man 2: It's the writings and photos of Dan Eldon. He was a photojournalist. Man 1: A photojournalist?

Man 1: Well, the book certainly looks interesting. Has he written anything else? Man 2: He wrote a book when he was younger. Unfortunately, he won't be writing anything else -- he was killed. Man 1: He died?
Man 2: Yeah. It's really sad. He was only 22. He was killed while working in Africa. Track4-3-4
Joe: What are you reading, Maria? Maria: The Daily News.
Joe: The News? Ugh! That’s a terrible paper. Maria: Oh, Joe, it’s not so bad.
Joe: Not so bad? Look at that headline on the front page! It’s so sensational. Maria: Well, they’ve got great comics. I can’t live without my comics.
Joe: I know. But the news coverage is so poor, ... especially the international news. It’s a joke, really.
Maria: I’m not so interested in the international news. Besides, they have so many other good features. Joe: Like what?
Maria: Like… the daily horoscope, for example. I love it.
Joe: That’s not a good reason to buy a newspaper … for the horoscope! Maria: Look, the newspaper only costs 50 cents. What so you expect? Joe: Good point.
Maria: Besides the horoscope, I also like the entertainment news. I like to read about the stars and their love affairs.
Joe: Well, you can keep The Daily News. I’m going to stick with The Times. Track 4-3-6
Amy: John, I’ve never notice this old photo of your family before. John: My mother just found it in the attic. She decided to hang it up. Amy: It’s a nice picture of your family.
John：I think it’s embarrassing. And I look stupid.
Amy: Well, you could‘ve combed your hair … it’s a nice shot, though. Look at how young you are! How old were you in the photo? John: Eight … no wait, I’d just turned nine. Amy: I guess these two people are your parents.
John: Yep. They were married when that picture was taken. Now they’re divorced. Amy: Oh. What do they do?
John: My father’s retired. Mom works in a hospital. Amy: What are their names?
John： Well, my father’s name is Joseph. My mother is Olivia---she was named after a popular actress.
Amy: How great! I have an aunt with the same name. I love the name Olivia … Who’s that guy? John: Which one?
Amy: The guy standing behind you. Is that your brother, Tom?
John: No, that's my Uncle Randy. He’s only two years older than my brother. Amy: He’s cute. I love a guy with a moustache.
John: Um, sorry, but he’s married now. His wife just had a baby.
Amy: I was just making a comment … So the other young guy must be your brother. John: Yes. That’s Tom.
Amy: How old is he in the picture?
John: Let’s see … he’s nine years older than me … so he would‘ve been 18 then. Amy: And there’s your little sister, Tina. She’s so cute!
John: Yeah. She’s two years younger than me. It’s hard to believe she’s in high school now!

The teller crumpled the note up and threw it at the robber. He picked it up and walked out of the bank.

3. The first international camel beauty contest was held last week in Alxa, in western China. More than 100 dressed-up camels entered the contest.
