听力原文: The first magazine was a little periodical called Tile Review and it was started in London in 1704. It looked a lot like the newspaper of the time, but in terms of its content, it was much different. Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events, but The Review focused on important domestic issues of the day as well as the policies of the government.
In England at the time, people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the King and that's exactly what happened to Daniel Defoe. He was the outspoken founder of The Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of The Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England which was headed by the King. After his release, Defoe continued to produce The Review and the magazine started to appear on a more frequent schedule, about 3 times a week.
It didn't take long for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709, a magazine called The Tattler began publication. This new magazine contained a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis and philosophical essays.

听力原文:M: Hey! How was your trip?
W: Wonderful! I spent most of my time at the art museum. I especially like the new wing. I was amazed to hear the guide explain the problems they had in building it.
M: Right. I just read an article that went on and on about the cost. 90 million total I think.
W: Yeah. The guide mentioned that. You could see they spared no expense.
M: Hm. It looked really unusal, at least from what I saw in the picture.
W: It is. The basic design is two triangles. In fact there are triangles all over. The paving stones in the courtyard, the skylights and even a lot of the sculptures. One sculpture is mobile. It's in the courtyard and it's made of pieces of aluminum that moves slowly in the air. It's really impressive.
M: That was in the article too. It said that the original was steel and it weighted so much that it wasn't safe to hand.
W: Right. They did it over in aluminum so it wouldn't come crashing down on someone's head.
M: You know the article went into that in detail. There was even an interview with the sculptor.
W: I'd like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow the magazine sometime?
M: No. I wouldn't mind of I haven't thrown it ont yet.
