this year with a Simply Sofabeds sofa bed at a
price that's right. Simply
Sofabeds!

crafts
to
create,
beautiful
sweaters
to
knit.
Get
your
second,
value-packed issue of
Prima
!
3)
Car Buyer
magazine. Every Thursday. It gives you a choice of
more new and used cars
than all of your
local papers put
together
—
and for less.
Car Buyer
for car buyers. At
your newsagent's now.
4) Girls! Sensitive skin really does
need more sensitive care. And I take special care
of my
sensitive
skin
with
Cuticura
soap.
Because
Cuticura
soap
contains
a
medicated
ingredient which
cleans your skin without leaving it dry or tight.
Cuticura medicated
soap. From chemists
everywhere.
5) Hello. This
is Bob Harris inviting you to join me this Friday

for the LBC

the
American
charts,
play
classic
music
by
the
big
stars
and
new
tracks
by
the
names of
tomorrow. So it's a real mix of different styles
and I'm sure you'll love the
music. I'd
certainly love to have your company. This Friday
evening at half past nine.
Right here
on LBC.

Different results of
different acts:
1. You skin
may burn terribly if the sunshine is stronger than
yo
u’re used to.
2. Your skin may not get burned, but
you won’t get a good tan, either.
3. Your skin is protected while it gets
a tan quickly.
How does
Bergasol work?
The oil in
Bergasol fruit activities cells in the skin that
produce melanin, the
element that gives
the skin the natural dark color.

Reason: The special
formulations in Bergasol isn’t cheap to
prepare.

【原文】
When you
stretch out in the sun you can do one of these
three things.
You
can
use
no
suntan
oil.
You
can
use
an
ordinary
suntan
oil.
Or
you
can
use
Bergasol.
If
you don't use any suntan oil at all when you're in
the sun that is stronger than
you're
used to, you will bum surprisingly
quickly.
If you use an
ordinary suntan oil you
will
protect your skin
to a
lesser or greater
degree. How much
depends on the
these
oils
block out so many of the
sun's rays you
can stay
in the sun all day
without
burning
—
but you
won't go very brown, either.
Bergasol will protect your skin like an
ordinary suntan oil. But Bergasol oil also has
a tan accelerator which comes from the
oil of the bergamot fruit.
It
speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the
skin cells that produce melanin.
And it is melanin which gives the skin
its brown color.
So
when you use Bergasol suntan oil you go brown
faster, and as the days pass the
difference will become more and more
obvious.
Unfortunately
this special formula isn't cheap. So Bergasol is
rather more expensive
than ordinary
suntan oil.
However the
price looks more attractive as you do.

Bob: You are
not still watching television, are you?
Andre: Yes, I am. I enjoy it. The
camera work was very good. It looked like the work
of
real experts. Er... do you know the
history of television in Britain?
Bob: Oh, television came to Britain in
the year 1936.
Andre:
Ah!
Bob: Only in the London
area at that time, though. There wasn't any
television during
the
Second
World
War.
It
was
started
up
again
afterwards.
The
BBC
was
the
organization responsible
for it.
Andre: What do the
initials BBC stand for?
Bob:
The British Broadcasting Corporation. It's a
public corporation. It isn't controlled
by
the
government,
but
it's
not
a
private
company
either.
That
means
that
the
government
can't
use
the
BBC
for
propaganda
purposes,
and
nor
can
private
individuals or firms.
Andre: Is advertising allowed on the
BBC?
Bob: No, though some
satellite channels get more autonomy. ITV gets its
money from
advertising, though.
Andre: ITV?
Bob:
ITV
stands
for
Independent
Television.
It
was
started
in
1954
—
again
in
the
London
area. It covers the whole country now,
though.
Andre: Why does
everything start in London?
Bob: Well... it's the capital after
all
—
and the largest centre
of population. If you start
up a public
service
—
like
TV
—
there, it gets to as many
people as possible to start
with.
Andre: What
do people think of the advertisements on
television?
Bob: It depends.
A lot of people think it's a good idea because it
means that television
can pay its
way
—
ITV gets all its money
from advertisements.
Andre:
What about the BBC?
Bob: You
have to buy a TV license and that money goes to
the BBC. A lot of people
don't like
having to pay and wish that there were
advertisements on the BBC too.
On the
other hand, other people hate TV advertising
because they think it's an
insult to
their intelligence.
Andre:
Mm. The advertisements are very subtle,
then?
精选
.
Bob: Well... some aren't,
anyway. Lots of people go to the kitchen to make a
cup of tea
when the adverts are on...
or take their dog for a walk.
Andre: I see. What do you think of your
television programmes? Do you like watching
them?
The
programme
we've
just
seen
was
okay,
but
what
about
television
in
general?
Bob: Well, you know how you foreigners
say our policemen are wonderful?
It's...
Andre: Do they? I
didn't know they did.
Bob:
American tourists are supposed to say that,
anyway. Well, as I was going to say,
people from overseas are supposed to
say that sort of thing about our television
as well. Personally, I think the BBC
has invented that story. There are some pretty
awful programmes on TV, but some are
quite good.
Andre: What sort
of things do you watch yourself?
Bob: I watch mainly news programmes.
And I like old films, too.
Andre: Old films? I don't see how you
can criticize television if you just watch old
films.
You might just as well go to the
cinema.
Bob:
Oh
—
not on your life, the
cinema costs money. Besides, it's a lot more
trouble
going out than staying at home.
And I like old films, not new ones. There are a
lot
of other people like me,
too.
Andre: Mm, reasonable
enough, I suppose.
Bob: And
it's not just films that people would rather watch
on TV. Fewer people go to
football
matches nowadays, for instance. They prefer to
watch them on TV.
Andre:
Surely it's not as good on television as it is in
real life?
Bob: Oh, you lose
a bit of the atmosphere, of course, and you don't
feel part of the
occasion
in
the
same
way
as
you
do
when
you're
actually
there.
But
you
get
a
much better view of the
game on television, and you don't have
to move from
your armchair.
Andre: Ah... well, thank you very much.
What's on next?
Bob: Oh, my
goodness. Some people don't ever do anything but
watch television and
ask
questions!

【原文】
About
four
years
ago
I
was
attacked
on
the
street,
knocked
down
and
my
bag
stolen.
All my friends and family were very sympathetic
and helped me go to the police
to
report it. Now I am a victim again, but this time
it is my husband who is assaulting
me
—
hitting,
insulting and intimidating me. Yet my family
doesn't see me as a victim now.
They
say if I was more patient and tried harder to
please my husband he wouldn't beat
me.
But I don't think I deserve this
treatment
—
just like I didn't
deserve to be attacked
and
robbed.
Physical
assault is a crime whether it happens in the home
or on the street. Build
family respect
and harmony; speak out against domestic
violence.
I
might
have
a
university
degree,
a
well
paid
job,
the
best
car
in
the
street
and
money
in my pocket
—
but I don't
have what I value most in
life
—
my children and their
mother. I was a fool to think that by
using force I could control those I loved. I admit
I
treated her badly and hurt her
deeply. I thought that the children didn't know
what was
happening, but of course they
did. Children can sense unhappiness in their
mother.
Now
when
I
look
back
on
it,
I
realize
that
a
home
which
has
violence
and
disrespect scares away love and
happiness. Domestic violence causes family
destruction.
It was so hard
coming to a new country, with a new life, and
everything so different.
I
felt
like
everything
was
out
of
my
control.
Except
in
my
home
and
family
—
at
least
there I could be boss.
But I abused my position as head of the household
and treated my
wife badly. My
wife
—
she's pretty
smart
—
she got some
information about the Australian
law
which says what I am doing is illegal.
Jeez, I don't want to end up in the
court system with the police on my back! No
way! I've got my kids to think about.
I'm going to change my
ways
—
before it's too late
and I lose my family's love.
Love builds harmony in the family.
Domestic violence destroys everything.
