第二篇：洪恩环境英语高级篇

Hello America

PART 1 Lesson 1 It's not bad, but I think it needs more work.Chris: I'm Chris Bloom, hoping you have more of everything you want this spring.Chris: Thanks for looking at my work, Jake.Jake:

I'm glad to help, Chris.People helped me when I was just an assistant.Besides, you're an old friend.Chris: Before you say anything, remember you're watching my first interview.Jake:

That's OK.Most new reporters don't do very well on their first try.Chris: What do you mean? Could you be more specific? Jake:

Most television viewers don't have much patience.They want faster interviews.They want more actionmore answersJake: Explain once more what you were trying to do.Chris: My assignment for school was to interview people about their lives.So I thought it would be interesting to ask people what's missing in their lives.What would make their lives better.And I just asked anyone who walked by.Should I play it now? Jake: Sure.Chris: Hello, this is Chris Bloom.Today is the first day of spring.It's a time when people feel energetic.They have a new outlook on life.We decided to find out what people want out of their lives this spring.Mike: More time.I definitely want to find more time.Steven: More money and fewer financial problems.Rita:

More love in my life.That's what I want.Terry: More friends.Roger: More clothes, more money, and fewer arguments.Detective Modine: Less crime and more parking places.Terry: Less pressure and more time to enjoy life.Chris: But the answer most people gave was time.More people want more time to accomplish their goals and enjoy their lives.I'm Chris Bloom, hoping you have more of everything you want this spring.Jake: It's not bad, but I think it needs more work.The problems that it's not news.We would never use it on the air.You need to find a real news story.Chris: Like what? Jake: Come on, I'll show you.just heard that someone wants to take over part of the Stamford Nature Center and turn it into apartment buildings.Chris: Oh, no.Boy, that's a story!Can I bring my camera? Jake: Sure.Chris: Oh, Right!

Lesson 2 Do you like to live dangerously, Rita? Rita: How's my favorite cameraman? Oh, my back.Mike: Those tapes were too heavy for you.Rita: A few years ago, I could carry twenty tapes if I wanted.Mike: We all get older.Rita: You know, Mike, I never thought it would come this fast.I just can't believe it's time for me to retire.How did I get so old so fast? Mike: Most people don't retire at your age.You look great.Rita:

I feel great.In fact, I feel marvelous.Mike: So, why are you retiring? Rita:

I love my job.I love being a make up artist.But I always promised myself I would start a new life when I reached this age.Mike: I think that's terrific.There are so many things you can do with your life.You're still young enough to enjoy yourself.world...But Singapore is crowded, and you can't live here cheaply, Rita.Singapore is expensive.Milan is more relaxed...It's center of culture...Milan has more nightclubs and fewer problems than Singapore...And the man are very romantic, Rita.You could live here nicely.That's all for now.I have to run.Steven: Before I say anything else, Jake, I want to compliment you.I think you're doing a fine job.Jake:

Thank you.And I think you're doing a great job too.People seem to be very happy here.You're a good producer.By the way, I like your beard.Steven: Thanks.But I have a problem.Peter Case, my boss, the man who owns this station, hoped he could improve the ratings.Instead, our audience is disappearing.Jake:

What? I thought we were doing well.Steven: Bad things keep happening, Jake.For example, we showed three movies last month.They were very inexpensive and we found out why.They all had technical problems.Bad sound.Bad picture.We won't buy cheap movies anymore.Jake:

I guess it's like what Abe Lincoln said: “You can fool some of the peole all of the time;You can fool all of the people some of the time;You can't fool all the people all the time”.Steven: There's another problem.Look at these ratings.We lost half of our viewers last night.Jake:

How is that possible? Steven: Everything was going beautifully.And then you did your storywinning show on Iran.He's an excellent editor.He works quickly and professionally.Steven: Can he work well with people? Maybe he can work with that assistant, Chris.Jake:

I don't know about Chris, but I'll get something flashy for tonight's news.Steven: Thanks, Jake.I knew I could count on you.Jake:

In Washington today, the President made important decisions about the budget.Connie Swift is at the White House with a report on the President's announcement.Mike: Milan has more nightclubs and fewer problems that Singapore...And the men are very romantic, Rita.You could live here nicely.Jake:

I'm sorry.We're experiencing technical difficulties.Obviously, that was not Connie Swift at the White House.We'll have that story for you a little later in the show.First, here's Jim Stuart at the mayor's office.Jake:

Steven, what happened? How did Rita's tape get on the air? Something's going on here, and I don't like it.Lesson 4 That was one of the strangest mistakes I've ever seen

you want to buy “petrol”, you'll need to go to a “petrol station”.So, travel to Britain.The British will be delighted to see you there, especially if you spend a lot of money.But, please, mind your language.Call things by their proper names.This is James Morgan on travel.Jake: James Morgan will be a regular feature on “The Weekend Report ”from now on.I'm Jake Seltzer for all of us at “Hello America”.Lesson 5 It's all so mysterious Jake:

You've been here for a week, Roger.How do you like it? Roger: Just fine, Jake.I'm glad I had a few extra weeks to help out an old friend.Jake:

Well, it's treat to have you at WEFL.We need a good editor, and we need some good ratings.You'll like Mike Davis.He's such a good cameraman.His work is excellent.His work is so good that I hardly need to edit it.Roger: Well, then you don't need me.Jake:

Of course we need you, Roger.But Mike does such good work that editing is easier.Here, let me show you...This place is so messy that I can never find anything.It was clean yesterday.Ah, here it is.Jake:

Look at this.It's the Nature Center.Roger: It's pretty.Jake:

It's also important to the whole city...But someone is planning to build apartment buildings here, in these woods.Roger: So what? Jake:

Apartment buildings could ruin the Nature Center.It's such an important decision that WEFL is asking some tough questions about it.We don't have very many answers yet.It's all so mysterious.Roger: Hey, what's wrong with the tape? Jake:

I don't understand what's going on here.The whole tape is like this.It's damaged.Roger: When you figure it out, let's get to work.Jake:

I don't get it.I looked at this last night and it was perfect.Now the tape is so damaged that I can't use it.Roger: You'd better talk to your cameraman.Meanwhile, it's such a beautiful day that I think I'll go for a drive.Jake:

What are you doing? Roger: I don't need it.I lost the other one.Oh, well...Hi.Chris:

Hello.Chris:

Wow, Roger Ward!He's such a good editor.He did the famous program about Iran.It was one of the best pieces of journalism I've ever seen.I think he won an award.Jake:

This is so strange that I can't believe it.This tape was perfect yesterday.Chris, you didn't look at this tape without me, did you? Chris: No.What happened? Jake:

It's in such bad condition that I can't even watch it.Chris: Oh, no.How? Jake:

I don't know.First it was Rita's silly tape.And now this.I don't know what to think.Chris:

I shot some videotape at the Nature Center.Chris: You know Rita.She's so nice that people tell her everything.I told her about going to the Nature Center with you.Jake:

What do you know about Rita's new boyfriend? Chris: He's one of the nicest guys she's ever gone out with.He's such a nice guy that she'd like to marry him.And he's an editor for the mystery program “Murder at Midnight”.Jake: What's his name? Chris: I can't remember...Terry something.But wait-I have it here on this tape.I've been interviewing people at the station.I did a long interview with Rita.She told me about Terry.Jake:

Can I see it? Chris: Yes, of course.Chris: You work so hard that you don't have much time for anything else.Rita:

It's true.I've been so busy that I haven't had much of a social life.In fact, my social life wasn't great until recently.Chris: What's changed? Rita:

I met a man.He's one of the most interesting men I've ever known.He's so interesting that I don't even think about my job.Chris: What's his name? Rita:

Terry.Terry Smithers.I never thought I'd feel this way toward anybody again, A friend introduced us.We went out to dinner and we had such a good time that we stayed until the restaurant closed.And the food was so bad!It was one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to.It was so bad that it was funny.We laughed so hard, we cried.It was wonderful.We talked about everything.And after that, we went dancing.Chris:

No.Rita:

Yes.He's such a good dancer.Chris:

You are too.Rita:

You should have seen us dance.We danced so well together that people stopped to watch.And we've been together ever since.Jake:

Rita is such a talker.She knew you were taping her, didn't she? Chris: Yes.I've been taping everyone at the station.Jake:

You didn't tape me.Chris:

I'm saving the best for last.Jake:

People like to talk to you.I'd like to see more of your interviews.Maybe we'll find a clue to what's going on here.Lesson 7 I keep trying to figure out why.Rita:

I love the peace and quiet here.I have no desire to go back to work.Terry: I wish I didn't have to go back to work either, but I have so much to do.Rita:

You're so mysterious.You haven't even told me what you're working on.Terry: “Murder at Midnight”.Rita:

I know that.But you've been working on something else.I have so many questions and you avoid answering

Jake:

And? Chris: He didn't know very much about him.Jake:

Did he find the technical Problem? Chris:

No.He talked about it a little bit.He's looking for a bad wire in the control room.Jake, you don't think that Mike had anything to do with it,do you? Jake:

No, I don't.Did you talk to anybody else? Chris: Not yet.I'm going to talk to Terry later today.Jake:

Good.Ask him how ofter he goes to the Nature Center.So there's nothing else for me to look at? Chris: Well, yes, there is.Jake:

What? Chris:

My latest story for school.Will you look at it and tell me what you think about it? Jake:

Is there anything special you want me to look for? Chris: Just watch for mistakes.And promise you won't laugh at me.Jake:

I never laugh at you.Chris: OK.Here goes.I worked on this for a whole day, so be kind.Jake:

I'm waiting for you to turn it on.Chris: OK.Chris: Spring!It's the time for new beginnings.Long walks and romance.Has spring fever come to Stamford? Chris: Jake, what did you think of my story? Jake:

Well, I thought it was remarkable.Chris:

You promised not to laugh.Jake:

I'm not laughing.Chris: Oh, you!Jake:

Look out!You'll break something.Jake:

You're getting better, Chris.It's still not news, but it's getting better.Chris: I think spring romance is interesting.Look at all the plays and movies about it.Jake:

The subject is interesting, but it's not news, Chris.Who cares? Find a real story.Chris:

Like what? Jake:

OK.You want to work on the Nature Center story? Look at the history of the Nature Center.How did it start? Why can a developer buy land right on the property?...I have a show to do.Lesson 9 Why does this deep happening? Rita:

I talked to Bob Todd, the accountant, about my taxes.I don't know why I wait until the last minute every year.Terry: My taxes were done weeks ago.Rita:

Well, you're so smart.I'm still filling in this form.What's your advice? Terry: My first advice is hurry up.The deadline is tomorrow.Rita:

What do you think about joint tax-return forms? Terry:

I don't like them.But I might make an exception.It's important to look at what kind of income your spouse has.0changes that will affect every American.A WEFL/Stamford Gazette poll shows that forty-eight percent of the American people agreed with the tax changes.But fifty percent disagreed with the President on taxes.Only two percent said they were undecided.In other news, there was a fire at Scotto's Restaurant on Main Street.Firefighters were waiting for the smoke to clear before they looked for the cause.And it's that time again.Income taxes are due tomorrow.Time for fill out and send in your tax returns.We have as our guest tonight accountant, Robert Todd.Rita: Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face.Brush off the clouds and cheer up, put on a happy face.Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, it's not your style.You'll look so good that you'll be glad, you decided to smile.Pick out a pleasant outlook, stick out that noble chin.Wipe off that full-of-doubt look, slap on a happy grin.And spread sunshine all over the place.Just put on a happy face....Rita: I'm on the air again.Terry: Oops, wrong tape.What is it? Rita:

It's my singing and dancing lesson.How did they get that tape? Why does this keep happening?

lesson 10 Raymond modine will be asking a lot of questions tomorrow.Steven: Look it over and tell me what you think.Jake:

We're losing viewers.Steven:

Our owner, Peter Case, will be broke in a month, Jake.Jake:

Is the situation that bad?

1no one is going to buy it, Jake...not at the price he's asking.Especially if they find out that we're having technical difficulties.Jake:

Technical difficulties!These aren't technical difficulties.Someone is deliberately trying to hurt us Steven: I think so too, Jake.I've called up a detective.His name is Raymond Modine and he'll be coming in tomorrow.My secretary will be handing out a letter to everyone at the station, explaining the situation.Jake:

Is that a good idea? Steven: Raymond Modine will be asking a lot of questions tomorrow.You'll be here, won't you? Jake:

I'll be working at the Nature Center in the morning.Steven: The Nature Center.That's a pretty big story.I hope we'll be able to run it.Jake:

Why shouldn't we? Steven: Well, nothing else that we want to get on the air seems to get there.Detective Modine can see you in the afternoon.Please find some time for him.Jake:

I don't know if I'll be back in time.Steven: He'll be talking to everyone who works here.I expect you to cooperate.Jake:

OK.But I want this solved, Steven.When I decided to stay at WEFL,I thought I was working for a solid station.Now I feel like looking for another job.Steven:

That's your decision.I'm going to do everything I can to stay here.But let me know what you're going to do.Jake:

You'll be the first to know.Chris:

Tonight I'll be interviewing Terry.You know, he could be the one who'd doing all this.He's an editor.he knows the equipment.And then I'll be planning my interviews with Steven and Peter Case.Jake: Will you be working late? Chris: I'll be working as late as I have to.And I'll be waiting for you.Jake:

Why? Chris: Won't you be staying late tonight? Jake:

No, I don't think so.Chris: But I'll have a lot of interviews for you to see.Will you be coming in early tomorrow? Jake:

I probably won't be coming in at all tomorrow.Chris: Won't Detective Modine be looking for you? Jake:

He might, but I'll be interviewing someone at the Nature Center.Chris: Jake, I want you to look at the interviews.Jake:

I asked you for some research on the history of the Nature Center? Where is it? Chris: I'll have it for you tomorrow.Jake:

Chris, I need the research.If you can't do it, I'll do it myself.Chris: Thanks.I thought you were my friend.I thought you were the great journalist, the great teacher.Jake:

Yeah, well, the great journalist is going to be bust.And you'll be busy doing research on the history of the

2Terry: Well, yes.Rita:

Or you.Terry: Hey.Rita:

I'm just kidding, Terry.Let's go.James Morgan: You'll need to post a small parcel in the letter box.Have you got any change? You'll need it for stamps.Chris: James Morgan!I know how to mail a pacikage in a mailbox.How did you get on my shelf? James Morgan: Have you got any pets.Please don't bring them.Chris: I haven't got any pets.And I'm not going on holiday because I haven't got any money.I haven't got any time either.Lesson 12 Where have I seen that glove before? James Morgan: If you've got a cold,you'll need to go to the chemist's to buy some medicine.You Americans call that the pharmacy or drugstore.And you won't want to miss going to the cinema, or movies, as you call them...Chris:

Who's been moving these tapes? The labels are all gone!I'll be here all night!James Morgan:...Take a flat.That means “rent an apartment”.You'll have your own cooker and fridge so that you can make your own meals.You may be lucky enough to have a lift in the building.That means an elevator...You'll need a telephone, so that you can ring up our world-famous theaters for tickets to all the shows...Chris:

Oh, come on.James Morgan: The British call it going on holiday The Americans call it going on vacation...if you ask for the subway in London, you won't find the underground train system at all.We call that the “underground” or the “tube”...into a car or a large lorry.That's the correct “English” name for a truck...We haven't got “gasoline” in England.We've got “peteol”.Chris: I haven't got any patience left.Where is that tape of Terry's interview?...I've got the right tape now.I hope this has a clue.Terry: How did I become an editor? When I was growing up,I went to the movies all the time.I was fascinated by the way movies were edited.I wasn't able to get a job editing movies.A friend of mine was working as a writer for a television show.He was shooting a story that nobody was interested in buying.He showed it to me, and I worked with him to edit it.The producers liked it so much, they hired me.Chris:

OK, Terry, what about your future? Terry:

I never know.I'm sure I'll be doing some kind of editing for television.I'll be working in a television station like this one.Chris:

What kind of editing? Will you be editing mystery stories or news programs? Or will you be editing sports? Terry:

I won't be editing sports programs.I don't liked sports.I'll be editing mystery programs or news.I like them both.Chris:

Where is that part about the station? Terry:

What was I doing when Rita's travel tape came on? I'm not sure what I was doing when it happened.I know what I was doing when Rita's singing lesson came on the air.I was talking to her in the studio.4Chris: I didn't know until I stood up.Jake:

Sit down...I'll get some ice.Chris: Where are you going? Don't leave me here alone.Jake:

I keep a chest of ice with some soda in my office.Do you want some soda too? Chris: OK...Oh, I feel like such an idiot.Jake:

You should have told me about your ankle.We might have stopped the swelling.Chris: Jake.Jake:

Yeah? Chris: I'm glad you're here.Jake:

So am I, chris.How does that feel? Chris: Cold.Jake:

So did you find anything out when you were going through the tapes? Chris: I think so.Do you remember when you were working with Roger Ward? Jake:

I'm still working with him.Chris: Remember the day he threw his glove out? Jake:

Not really.What does that have to do with anything? Chris: Terry has Roger's glove, or one just like it.Jake:

Chris, I don't see the connection.Chris: There is a connection.I'm not sure what it is, but I know there is one.Jake:

OK, Miss Detective.Let's start walking.Lesson 2 Until I came to WEFL, I had never worked with a famous person like Jake.Jake:

This is going to be a very interesting interview, Mike.We're talking with Thomas Ames, head of Mirage Realty.Mike: Who are these people? Jake:

They claim to be one of the nation's biggest real-estate developers.Mike:

I'm surprised that I haven't heard of them.Jake:

Chris did some research on them for me.Until recently, no one had ever heard of them.Mike:

So why are we doing a story on them now? Jake:

This company is trying to build apartments on the Nature Center.Jake:

Mr.Ames, thank you for talking with us.Ames: Anything I can do to help.Jake:

Mr.Ames, why are you doing this to the Nature Center? Ames: Please don't put it that way, Jake.We didn't begin this project.Another company started it.By the time we took over, the plans had already been made.Jake:

The director of the Nature Center told me that until last week, he hadn't heard a word about the apartments being built.Ames: It was a quick deal.Jake:

Isn't that unusual?

6now? Chris: When I see dinner, you get the research.Chris: Oooh, I shouldn't have eaten all that.Jake:

Did you like it? I couldn't tell.Chris: I was fine until I got to the egg rolls.You should have stopped me.Jake:

I should have stopped you? Hah!I should have stopped myself!Chris: We shouldn't have ordered so much.Jake:

Um, you're right, I think we should have left out the shrimp dish.Chris: No, I liked the shrimp.We shouldn't have ordered the spareribs.Jake:

Oh, yes, we should have.It was too mush fun watching you eat them.Chris: So, how's my research? Jake:

It's good.Chris: Oh.You like it? Jake:

Write a story.We'll record it in the morning.Chris: Write it? Record it? Jake:

It's the best way to learn.Chris: I don't have much time.Jake: That's right.I've been looking at my interview with Thomas Ames.He's a very strange man.Remember Roger's glove? Chris: Yes.Jake:

Ames had one too.Chris： You're kidding? Do you think he has something to do with what's been going on at the station? Jake:

I'm not sure.I'll have to think about it.Rita:

I thought I smelled Chinese food.Can I join you? Chris: Sure.Weren't you supposed to have dinner with Terry? Rita:

Yes.He was going to teach me about cameras.I thought that might be a good hobby for me, you know, photography.I waited and waited, but he didn't show up.Chris: Oh, no.Rita:

Yeah.By the time he called, I had already made the entire dinner.I had cooked the roast and set the table.I had made the salad.I had even poured the wine.Wait until I see him face to face.He's going to hear about this, believe me.Chris: He really stood you up.Rita:

The only thing I hadn't done was light the candles.Jake:

You should have invited someone else.Rita:

I tried to call a girlfriend, but by the time I called her, she had already made other plans.Chris: You should have just eaten it yourself.Rita:

I didn't feel like eating alone.I came here to clean up my makeup room a bit.Chris: We have lots of food left.Stick around and help us finish it.Rita:

Actually, I'm starved.Oh, that chicken looks wonderful!

Lesson 5 I wish I didn't have to keep any secrets from you.Rita:

I wish I hadn't started my diet today.Terry: Why? Are you still hungry? Rita:

I'm starving.There's nothing left in here.I wish I had packed a huge turkey sandwich on a roll with mustard and mayonnaise and lettuce and tomato and cheese.Terry: I wish I had known.I wouldn't have eaten everything.Rita:

No.It's better this way.Terry: Are you sure? Do you want to go into town and buy something to eat? Rita:

I'd rather stay here.Terry: All right.Whatever you say.Rita:

Mmmm.Terry: What? Rita:

Do you have anything left in that bag? Terry: I have a bag of potato chips.Rita:

I wish you hadn't mentioned potato chips.Now I'm going to be thinking of potato chips all day.Terry: Would you like some? Rita:

I wish you hadn't offered.Terry: Well, what was I supposed to do? Rita:

Oh, give me the potato chips.Terry: Think of something else...such a beautiful day.Rita:

Yes.I wish I didn't have to go back to work.Terry: I wish I hadn't had to work this morning.We could have taken a drive somewhere.Rita:

That would have been nice.Terry: Rita, did you send in your application for veterinarian school? Rita:

No.I can't make up my mind what to do.I wish I had never thought about retiring.It was all so much easier when I woke up in the morning, went to work, and came home.Terry: I've never heard you sound so down.Rita:

Sorry.Terry: What's bothering you? Rita:

It has to do with all this stuff that's been going on at the station.Terry: What do you mean? Rita:

I don't like it.Terry: Neither do I, but it's not stopping me from enjoying this beautiful day.Rita:

That's what's bothering me.Terry: What are you getting at? Rita:

Maybe I don't know enough about you.What are you up to? Terry: It sounds like you are accusing me of something.How come?

0Stan Smith: Some of the things that you go through on the tennis court, you know, coming back, uh, from adversity, from having an injury, from getting behind, from getting discouraged, from struggling-uh, those are all things that we go through in life in general.Hopefully, we can influence them in a way that might help them in their entire life, and not just in tennis.Roger: It's good.What do you think? Chris: If I had been there, I would have talked to more people.There were only six interviews.Roger: That would have been interesting.Chris: I wish I could edit a story like that.Roger: Here, let me show you something else.Roger: If he had put it together with this shot, he would have made a much more interesting point.Chris: I wish I had thought of that.You're such a good editor.Roger: Thanks, Chris.I wish I had more time, but-Chris: That's OK.You've been very helpful.Roger: You'll learn more as you go along.Chris:

But you're so fast.How do you edit so fast? I've never seen anybody work so fast.Lesson 7 These young people are about to become teachers.Jake:

Good evening.I'm Jake Seltzer and this is “Hello America”.Tonight, a report on teachers.Jake:

These young people are about to become teachers.But there are not enough of them.Experts are trying to convince young people like these to choose teaching as a career...Professor Marvin Bressler of Princeton University said it was an enormous privilege to be a teacher.Prgfessor Bressler: It is an enormous privilege to be a teacher and to see people come alive from time to time.Jake:

Alan Grskin told the audience that young people could make a difference.Alan Grskin: The message he left behind was that young people could make a difference in helping to create a better and more peaceful world.Jake: Many teachers will be retiring soon.There are not enough young teachers to replace them.According to Mary Futrell, we will need 1.4 million new teachers.Mary Futrell: Uh, we will need approximately 1.4 million new teachers before the end of this decade, and those will be teachers at every grade level.Uh, every community in the country will be looking for new teachers.Jake: Not everyone can be a teacher.It is a very diffficult job.Thomas Gilhool was a lawyer.Now he's a full-time teacher.But it wasn't easy.Thomas Gilhool: I've been a full-time teacher, I can say now, proudly, for eight days.At the third day, I did not think I would see the eighth day.Jake:

How important are teachers? The President said yesterday that our future would depend on good schools.The experts tell us that good schools depend on good teachers.As Thomas Gilhool said, “Teaching isn't easy, but it can be the most rewarding job in the world”.I'm Jake Seltzer.Goodbye for now.Jake: Did everything work this time? Were there any strange problems? Steven: No.I don't think there were any technical mistakes.Jake:

That's a good news.2Roger: You're very clever.You always have been.But I know your interviewing tactics.You're trying to find out what I know.But I'm telling you I don't know anything about him.Look, here's the shot we were looking for.Chris:

Did Terry really ask you to run away with him? Rita:

Yes.Isn't that sweet? Chris: It is.He's so romantic.Rita:

Yeah.Chris: I wish someone would ask me to run away with him.Rita:

One day someone will.Chris: Well, are you going to? Rita:

What? Chris: Run away with him.I asked you if you were going to run away with him.Rita:

I don't know enough about him.At times, he's very secretive.Besides, I still don't know what I'll do after I retire.Chris: Are you still upset about retiring? Rita:

Not really.I'm kind of looking forward to it.Chris: Wow!What a difference!How did you do that? Rita:

The tricks of the trade.Have you ever thought about wearing your hair up? Chris: I've thought about it, but I don't think it would look good.Do you? Rita:

I think it would look great.Chris: You do? Rita:

Yes, I do.Do you want to try it? Chris: I don't know...Rita:

Oh, come on.Be daring.Try it.You can always take it down.Chris: All right.Rita:

When are you going to do your report? Chris: Report? Oh, this isn't for a story.Rita:

I thought we were doing this for your tape.Chris: Not exactly.But it's for my career.OK, I'm ready.Do whatever you want.Lesson 9 He just asked me if I would take you off the story.Steven: He's a reporter.I can't control him.Ames, get off my back...Come in.Jake:

How are you, Steven? Steven: How can you ask me that? Have you seen the paper? Jake:

Yes, The new isn't good.Steven: The abvertisers aer leaving WEFL because we don't have enough viewers.Peter Case won't be able to give the station away.Our news operation is a joke.With news like that, how well can I be? Jake:

I'm sorry.Is Detective Modine making any progress? Steven: He spoke to a few people.He's been asking a lot of questions.I'm not sure what he's found out yet.Jake:

Steven, what's your connection to Thomas Ames?

4Steven: It's for my stomach.My doctor says I'm getting an ulcer.He says if I don't calm dowm, I'm going to wind up in the hospital.Jake:

You are too nervous.Don't worry, Steven.I'm going to figure this out.Steven: Hurry, Jake.We don't have much time.Lesson 10 May I have the soda, please? Chris:

Oh...I thought you were somebody else.Modine: Jake, perhaps? Chris:

I guess you know a lot about everything that happens here.Modine: It's my job.Chris:

My appointment with you wasn't still later.Modine: I had a bit of time so I thought I'd talk to you now, if that's all right.Chris:

I was waiting for Jake.Modine: I won't be long.Chris:

Who knows if he's coming anyway? So, are you hungry? Modine: Yes.As a matter of fact, I am.Chris:

Do you want some pizza? Modine: Thank you.Chris:

Could you please hand me a plate? Modine: Delighted.Chris:

Here's a slice for you.Modine: Thank you.Would you mind handing me a napkin? Chris:

Sure.Do you want some soda? Modine: No Thanks.I'd like a cup of coffee.Chris:

The coffee machine is around the corner.Modine: I saw it when I came in.The coffeepot is empty.Chris:

I could make some more, if you like.Modine: No.That's OK.Chris:

So...you're not at all what I expected.Mdine: No? Chris:

Nope.I thought you'd be some guy in a rumpled）raincoat.Modine: No rumpled raincoat.I have to ask you some questions now.Chris:

Sure.Modine: Who do you think has been sabotaging the station? Chris:

I don't know.I'm totally confused.First, I thought it was Terry.Then I thought it was Mike.Then for a second, I even thought it was Jake.It's definitely not Rita.Modine: Good thinking.May I have the soda, please? Chris:

Sure.Here's a glass...How's the pizza?

6Jake:

He met with you.Chris: He came and he accused me of causing all the trouble here.Jake:

No.Really? He accused you? Chris: That wasn't supposed to be funny.Jake:

Sorry.Chris: I don't think he thought it was me.I just think he was trying to trick me into giving him some information.Jake:

Do you have any to give? Chris: Yes.I was saving it for you.But now Detective Modine knows too.Jake:

What is it? Chris: Terry Smithers.Jake:

What about him? Chris: He's doing something in the editing room every night.Jake:

How did you find that out? Chris: Never mind.I have my ways.Jake:

That's interesting.He seems so nice.I wonder about Roger.I talked with him today.Chris: I talked with him too.I helped him edit a tennis story.Jake:

Did you tell Detective Modine about Terry? Chris: Yes.I had to.Are you angry? Jake:

Why should I be angry? You're supposed to tell him everything.Listen, now that I know this, uh, I have to go.Chris: Don't you want some pizza? Jake:

No, It looks...cold.I've got to go.Chris: I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go.Jake:

I forgot this...By the way, you look terrific.Steven: You're supposed to solve this mystery soon.Do you think you'll have an answer for me in the next 24 hours? Modine: I think I'll be able to tell you sooner.Steven: You don't actually think that Chris had anything to do with our problems.Modine: No.I'm sure she had nothing to do with them.But I do think she had some interesting information.She tells me that Terry works in the editing room at night.And she has some great pizza up there.You should get yourself a slice.Steven:

I can't.I'll have to do without pizza.I'm not supposed to eat any until my stomach clears up.Modine: Well, your problems will all be over soon.I have to hurry.I parked my car in a lot with parking meters.Steven:

You aren't supposed to park there for more than an hour.Modine: Actually, it isn't a one-hour meter.It's supposed to run for two hours.The meter runs in exactly four and a half minutes.Steven: I could have gotten you a permit to park in the garage here.Modine: No, that's OK.I never get tickets because I time myself.When my alarm goes off(发出响声),...I know that I have to leave.See you tomorrow, Steven.Get some sleep.Lesson 12 Maybe I'd better show this to detective modine.8

PART 3

Lesson 1 I'm so tired of this whole thing.Steven: I got here as fast as I could.I'm very upset about this investigation.Detective Modine: I'm certain of that.Steven: Well? Detective Modine: I asked you to meet me here，because I was concerned about meeting in your office.Steven: Why would you be concerned about that? Detective Modine Your office might be bugged.You can't be too careful about anything when you're dealing with criminals.Steven: I'm so tired of this whole thing.I don't want to worry about this anymore.I don't want to think about criminals or sabotage.I just want to do my job.I just want to produce a news show.Detective Modine: I can see how you feel.You're probably disappointed in the investigation.Steven: Yes, I am.I'm surprised at how long this is taking.I think you're a little slow at solving this case, Ray.Detective Modine: Now, don't be angry at me.These investigations are very delicate.Steven: Ray, tell me what you know.Detective Modine: I'll give it to you in two words.Steven: Yeah? Yeah? What? Detective Modine: Leather glove...Steven: Leather glove? Detective Modine: That's it.Leather glove.Steven: Did you call me all the way out here to say the words leather glove to me? Detective Modine: Yes.The leather glove is the key to the case.You seem disappointed.Steven: Disappointed? Are you kidding? Wait until I tell Peter Case I've been spending money to pay a detective, and all he could come up with was the words leather glove.He's not going to be happy about this, Ray.Detective Modine: Be patient with me, Steven.There's something I didn't tell you.You're going to be interested in this.Steven: What? Detective Modine: The leather gloves are the missing link.Detective Modine: First, Roger Ward had one.Then Jake saw Thomas Ames with one exactly like it.Finally, one of the gloves was on the tape that Chris made of Terry.Steven: Does Thomas Ames know Roger Ward? What about Terry? Detective Modine: Terry may be involved.Steven: No!He's so kind and friendly to everyone.Are you sure about Terry? Detective Modine: You're not always the beat judge of character, Steven.Sometimes you can miss important clues.That's why you hired me!Steven: Where are we going? Detective Modine: To my car.It's parked at a meter.I'm worried about getting another ticket.Look, isn't that Terry Smithers? Steven: Where?

0Jake:

Roger.Detective Modine: I don't have absolute proof.I don't even know how he's been doing it.But I plan to find out.And I need you to help me find out.Jake:

OK, I guess I suspected it all along.But I'm still surprised to hear that it's definitely Roger.Detective Modine: He's in the studio now.I want you to talk to him...Lesson 3 I don't know what you're talking about.Jake: Hollo, Roger.Roger: Jake.What are you doing here? How's the story coming? I think you viewers will like it.Jake: So do I...I'm surprised at you, Roger.Roger: What do you mean? Jake:

I don't get it.You were always good at whatever you did.Why would you ruin a good career to go to work for Thomas Ames? Roger: I don't know what you're talking about.Jake:

Don't pretend to be surprised at what I'm saying, Roger.I know that you're working for Ames.I know that he's been paying you to sabotage WEFL...What I'm interested is in why.Roger: I'm disappointed in you, Jake.You were so slow at figuring this out.What took you so long? Jake:

I thought you were my friend.Roger: You were never good at judging who your friends really were.Jake:

I believed in you...When we were in college and no one would give you a chance, I did.I helped you.I cared.Why would you do this to me? Roger: I didn't mean to hurt anyone, Jake.Jake:

So it was you.Roger: Yeah.It was me.The travel tape.The singing lesson.All the technical difficulties at the station were my fault.Jake:

But why? Roger: Money.I needed money.But it wasn't supposed to be like this, Jake.It went too far.Jake:

Money? Roger: Yes.I left the big television networks and started my own business.I was lucky at getting started.I got a lot of work.But then the networks hired new people and my business began to decline.I put everything I owned into that business, Jake.Everything.I was in debt.Then I met Thomas Ames.He helped me.He invested in my business.He loaned money to me.He told me about WEFL and helped me get some work here.But then he asked me to arrange for some technical difficulties at WEFL.I thought it was nothing.It seemed funny at first, like a big joke.Then Ames threatened me.He was going to take over my business unless I helped.He wanted me to lower WEFL's ratings so Peter Case would have to sell him the station.By that time, I was worried about the money I owed him.I was afraid of Ames...So I did it.To tell you the truth, Jake, I'm glad it's over.It was like a nightmare.Steven: I'm shocked at how quickly the time has gone by.It feels like just yesterday that Peter was born.He's six months old already and he's becoming a real person.Now that Ray Modine is close to solving this mystery, I'm thrilled at the chance to spend more time at home.I haven't been spending enough time with Peter.I

2Detective Modine: Let me see if I understand this, Mike.If I wanted to put a tape about the president out on the air, I would put it on playback machine A, which is in the control room.Mike:

Right.Detective Modine: If I wanted to edit a tape about the Nature Center, I would work on playback machine B.That's in the editing room.Mike:

Exactly.Detective Modine: OK.That's clear, but I still don't understand what this switch does.Mike:

I had to explain the first part so that you would be able to understand this part.Detective Modine: I understand.Mike:

This switch determines which tape goes ut over the air.If it's in position A, the tape about the President from playback machine A will go out over the air.If it is in position B, the tape in playback machine B, in the editing room, will go out over the air instead.Detective Modine: Roger Ward came in here, and he moved the toggle switch to position B.That means the tape in the editing room went out over the air.Mike:

That's true, but that's not the whole story.Roger is clever, and he also understands how these machines work.Detective Modine: He knew that would have been too simple.Mike:

We would have noticed, and we could have stopped this a long time ago.Roger was more clever than that, but he wasn't clever enough.Detective Modine: Criminals are never clever enough, Mike.Mike:

Roger is familiar with the machines, so he knew how to rewire the board.Detective Modine: So that's what he did!Mike:

Yes, Roger rewired the toggle switch so that he could control it from the editing room.Detective Modine: Brilliant!Mike:

Roger was able to put on another tape, and he could do it when no one was looking.Detective Modine: Incredible!Mike:

Detective, what are you thinking about? Detective Modine: Parking tickets, Mike.I'm thinking about parking tickets.Lesson 5 I always thought you'd be a devoted father Chris:

I can't believe I'm going to interview Thomas Ames.I'm nervous about this even though I've practiced.I'm not sure why.I'm nervous because I want to do a good job.I'm also nervous because Thomas Ames is so wealthy and important.No.I don't care about his wealth.I'm nervous because this is my big chance to be a reporter at WEFL.Even though I've done a good job as an assistant, Steven may not hire me.The ratings are down, and WEFL doesn't have much money.Even though the ratings are down, Steven might hire me if I do a good interview...Mike was sure surprised when I was chosen to do this interview.He said that this was Jake's big story.But I got the story because Ames won't talk to Jake.Although Jake is a better interviewer than I am, I can probably get Ames to talk to me more openly than Jake can.I keep telling myself I have nothing to worry about.Right?

4Chris: Because you would have scared him away, you sent me.Jake:

You asked tough questions anyway , so we don't have a good interview.Chris: Well, I didn't like him either.But watch.Even though I was tough on Ames, he answered the questions anyway.He lost his temper and made mistakes, so we have a good interview.Watch.Chris: Do you care about anything except making more money for yourself? Ames: I'm tired of you reporters and your stupid questions.It's my land and I'll do whatever I want to with it, and I'm not going to change just because of a little pollution.Now get out!Chris: Do you care about the animals at the Nature Center? Ames: I hate animals!...Get out, Ms.Bloom!Jake:

Wow!You weren't kidding.He really got hot under the collar.How did you have the courage to ask that last question? Chris: Even though I don't sound scared on the tape, I was terrified.I was also very angry with Thomas Ames.Jake:

Let's watch it again.We'll decide how to edit the story.Lesson 7 Terry is the kind of person who saves everything.Steven: I don't think of you as a man who likes to feed ducks.Detective Modine: That's me.I like cars that are fast.I like women who are beautiful.And here's the interesting part.I'm the kind of person who likes to feed ducks.Steven: I'll never figure you out,Ray.Steven: Why are we meeting here instead of my office? We know who was sabotaging the station.Detective Modine: The sun is out, and the air is crisp.It's day that comes only once a year.You're the kind of person who wouldn't take advantage of a beautiful day.That's why I wanted to meet here.Steven: Thanks.I appreciate your concern for me, but I have a lot of work to do.Detective Modine: So do I.So do I.Well, I guess we wrapped this case up.Steven: Wait a minute.I know it was Roger who was sabotaging the station, but you never told me how you figured it out.Was it the glove that gave him away(=reveal=betray)? I thought you thought that it was Terry who did it.Detective Modien: Actually, it was Terry who helped me figure out the part about the gloves.It was Mike who discovered how Roger did it.Jake is the one who got Roger to confess.Steven: So what did we pay you for? Detective Modine: You always had a remarkable sense of humor.Steven: How did you figure out that it wasn't Terry who did it? Detective Modine: Remember the day I found him standing by my car in the parking lot at the Nature Center? He heard that I thought he was the one who might be guilty, so he wanted to clear things up.Steven: What did he say that made you realize it wasn't him? Detective Modine: It wasn't anything that he said.It was something Chris said.Chris discovered the glove that Roger threw in the garbage.She noticed it matched the one which Jake saw in Ames's office.Chris also saw the same glove in Terry's interview.Steven: But Terry didn't do it.Detective Modine: NO.Terry is the kind of person who saves everything.Do you know he saves nowspapers after

6Rita:

It's a dress which Deborah Hall wore in one of our productions.Terry: What do you want me to do with this book? Rita:

Let me see that...Will you look at this!Terry: What is it? Rita:

This is a diary which is full of secrets about the people at WEFL.Terry: Let me see.Rita:

No way.Terry: Oh, come on.I'm curious now.Rita:

If I did that, there are some people who would kill me.Terry: I'm not interested in the people who you wrote about.I'm interested in the thoughts that you had when you were younger.Rita:

Here's something that I wrote.It's kind of funny.Terry: Read it.Rita:

March 19th, 1962.This isn't a job which I'm going to have for a long time.I like the people whom I make up.I like the people whom I work with.But that isn't everything.I'd like a job where I can meet famous people.I want a job where there's lots of excitement.This job is fun for now, but I don't know who I'm going to be when I grow up.Terry: Well, nothing's changed.Rita:

I can't believe that I wrote that so long ago.Terry: Don't look so sad.Rita:

Why not? Terry: I have something to tell you that will cheer you up.Rita:

What is it? Terry: I want to tell you what I was doing in the editing room.Remember all those times that you asked me about it? Rita:

At last!Terry: All the time you thought that I was involved in the mystery, I was working in the editing room on something for you.Rita:

I never thought you were involved in the mystery.Terry: Oh, yes, you did.Rita:

Only for a second.You were working on something for me? Terry: I was working on a tape for you.I think you're going to love it.Rita:

A tape for me? Terry: It's sort of a history of your time here.I wanted to save it for your retirement party, but now is as good a time as any.Rita:

Oh, Terry, this is so sweet.I'm not the kind of person who is usually speechless, but I don't know what to say.Terry:

“Thank you” would be a good start.Lesson 9 Rita is the kind of person who gives you everything she's got.Steven: Rita is the kind of person who gives you everything she's got.8

Lesson 10 When will the show be aired? Steven: When do we start fishing? Mike:

At six o'clock.Steven: In the morning? Mike:

You got it.It should be a lot of fun.Come on, Steven.You need a break.Things have been very difficult at WEFL.I'm sure your wife will understand.Steven: I know.But the weekends are the only times I get to spend with Peter.You're right, though.It will just be one sunday out of a million.Mike:

Right.Steven: What do I need? Mike:

Luck, your fishing rod,and a picnic lunch are the only things that are required.Steven: A picnic lunch? Mike:

Yes, We'll be out on the boat all day.Steven: Whose boat are we going out on? Mike:

Actually, I'm not sure.I didn't make the reservation.It was made by someone who's going with us.Steven: So how do you know we're starting at six? Mike:

My friend told me he made the reservation for six.Steven: Maybe the reservation should be made in my name.And maybe it should be made for seven.Mike:

That's a good idea.The reservation can be made in your name.They know you're the producer here, and we may get a better boat.But you should make the reservation for six, Steven.By seven, the fish won't be hungry.Steven: All right, six o'clock.Mike:

I'll give you a wake-up call.Steven: Right.Thanks.Jake: Hi.Chris: You're not going to believe it!Look what I found at Town Hall!Jake: What is it? Chris: The deed to the property that Thomas Ames is building on.Read it.Jake:

Let's see...The property was owned by someone elseChris:

What was done by Roger, and what is left to do? Jake:

The new interview has to be edited.I'll ask Terry to help.Chris: What's our deadline? When will the show be aired? Jake:

I'm not sure.It may be aired tonight.Chris: That really doesn't give us that much time.Jake: The Stamford Nature Center is used by adults, by children, and by senior citizens.Now it's in danger.The Nature Center was built in 1936.The farm was established in 1945.It was created to preserve the original beauty and history of a small New England farm.A part of the Nature Center was sold to real-estate developer Thomas Ames.Ames has been planning to build apartments on the land.Several weeks ago I spoke with Mr.Ames about his plans.Ames: But let me tell you, Jake, these will be beautiful buildings.They will be built with the most modern materials.Jake:

But here is what Ames said in a recent interview with Chris Bloom of WEFL.Ames: I'm tired of you reporters and your stupid questions.It's my land and I'll do whatever I want to with it, and I'm not going to change just because of a little pollution.Now get out!Chris: Do you care about the animals at the Nature Center? Ames: I hate animals!...Get out, Ms.Bloom!Jake:

Thomas Ames shouldn't be allowed to build at the Nature Center.The water will be polluted.The animals there could be killed.The farm could be ruined.But WEFL has recently discovered that Thomas Ames was lying about his deed.The deed to Thomas Ames's land prohibits building there without the permission of the City.Whether to give that permission will be decided tomorrow.WEFL will keep you informed of all details involving this critical issue.Lesson 11 I'm going to have my hair cut once a month.Rita:

I'm proud of you, Chris.You did a great job.Do you realize that because of your research, the Stamford Nature Center will probably be saved? Chris: I just hope the right decision will be made.What do you want me to do with these? Rita:

Throw them away, I guess.I can't go on saving everything.Chris: Look at those ladies in that beauty parlor.Can you imagine sitting there getting your hair cut and having your nails done? Who has the time? Who has the patience? Rita: I do.At least now that I'm retiring, I have the time.I tell you, I'm going to have my hair cut once a month.I'm going to have my nails manicured once a week.I'm going to get my hair done once a week.Chris: Really? You? I just can't imagine you sitting around leading that kind of life.I thought you'd be having adventures.Rita:

I have it all planned.Every Monday, I'm going to get my back massaged.On Tuesdays, I'm going to have my house cleaned.On Wednesdays, I'm going to have my nails done.On Thursdays, I'm going to get my hair done, and on Fridays, I'm going to relax.Chris:

That sounds like you've gotten your first week of retirement taken care of.What are you going to do after that? Rita:

There are so many things I've wanted to do, but I just haven't had the time.I haven't had my car serviced in

1back, and I love it.Chris:

Am I making a mistake? Should I ask Steven now? Mike:

Definitely.Steven hasn't been this happy since his baby was born.Chris:

I just don't want to blow it.Mike:

You're not going to.He knows you did a great job on the research for Jake's story.He knows you're a good reporter.Ask him now.Chris:

OK.Just wish me luck.Mike:

Good luck!Rita:

Do you have a lot more work to do? Terry: I'll be done in a few minutes.Hey, you look beautiful.Rita:

Really? You should have your eyes examined.Terry: No, really.Your hair looks very pretty.Rita:

I had it done at the beauty parlor.Do you like it? Terry: Very much.Rita:

Good.Now do me a favor and take me to lunch.Terry: The show will be edited in a few minutes.Rita:

Please hurry up, Terry.I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse.Terry: So why go out? Why don't we have some food delivered? Rita:

Eat lunch here? Nothing ever changes.I'll never get out of this place.Chris: He said yes.Steven hired me as a reporter.I've never been so excited in my life.Jake:

That's wonderful, Chris.That's great you were hired.We'll work a lot together.Chris:

This is the best thing that has ever happened to me.Jake:

The best thing? Chris:

One of the best things.Jake:

Want to have dinner to celebrate? Chris:

I'd love to.Jake:

Eight o'clock.Chris:

Eight o'clock tomorrow night would be great.Jake:

Tomorrow night? Chris: Sorry.I have plans tonight.Jake:

OK,I guess.Chris: But I think I'll cancel them.Jake: All right.Steven: Mike, it's been a rough couple of months.I'm really looking forward to the fishing trip on Sunday.Mike:

So am I, Steven.So am I.The United States of America
