W: Don’t you have any good news?
M: No, Yesterday I had to stay after school, because I was talking during my biology teacher’s class.
W: You’d better keep quiet during class．
M: Sometimes I do. The day before yesterday, I was very quiet during my history teacher’s class and I still had to stay after class．
W: I don’t understand.
M: Because I fell asleep during his class, but it wasn’t my fault. The lesson was very dull.
W: I advise you to take school more seriously. If you don’t pass your exam, you’ll have to go out and work as a result.
M: I don’t think that makes much difference. If I have a job, I have to do dull work every day. But if I’m in school, I must listen to dull teachers every day.

W: Now you are admitted in our volunteering group. Your job is to help the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the injured to overcome difficulties in many places.
M: All right. How many days should I serve, then?
W: Oh, volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month, during the day, or in the evening, also, either part-time or full-time. That depends on your own situation.
M: I'm a college student, and I have many courses to attend in the day, so I'd like to choose evenings.
W: All right. That's the deal. Thank you for your kindness and efforts.
M: Don't mention it. Doing volunteering is an excellent way for me to develop skills beyond school learning. And meanwhile I can build up my working experience for my future career.
W: That's really a sound choice for young people like you.

You're listening to the Voice of America. VOA's Alice Clarke reports from Cincinnati. A public competition was held last Friday afternoon in a small town near Cincinnati to find out who could eat the most in the shortest time. A man named Alex Baker succeeded  in setting a new record. In a time given by the judges, Alex ate 2 big bowls of fish soup, a whole chicken, half a goose, 10 eggs cooked in different ways with 10 big pieces of bread and a large cake. Besides all these, Alex finished drinking 20 glasses of beer. After winning the competition, the winner went home with Allan Kninte, a friend of his. As they were coming near his house, Alex suddenly stopped and said, "I say, my friend. Don't tell my wife about the competition until after dinner. I'm afraid she won't give me anything to eat." Alice Clarke, reporter of VOA.
