听力原文:W: What are you reading, Bill?
M: It's this week's New Scientist, why?
W: I was just wondering. It looks interesting. But I've never actually read it myself. It's for real scientists— or can ordinary people like me understand it?
M: Oh, it's for anyone really. It usually has articles and stories about character affairs and about science as well as papers about new development and research. I am reading about new telephone that allows you to see the person you are speaking to as well as hear him.
