　　Dialogue 1

　　Tom: I'm going to the cinema this evening.

　　Jerry: What's on?

　　Tom: It's a Western "Cowboy Come Home".

　　Jerry: But there's a Western on television tonight. You are welcome to come round and watch it. Why bother to go out and pay for a cinema seat?

　　Tom: There is a wide screen and the color will be better.

　　Jerry: But I'd prefer watching TV to going out to the cinema. Here you can have a comfortable armchair, a drink at your elbow and no journey to make. Besides there are three other worthwhile programs on: a documentary on underwater swimming, half an hour's sports review and an episode of a mystery serial play.

　　Tom: But a film can make everything more exciting and vivid and the darkness cuts out human surroundings completely.

　　Jerry: But you can't choose your program and it's a waste of money to walk out if you're bored. It's so easy to turn off the TV - not that I do turn it off very often.

　　Tom: That's just it. You're drugged by it: you've given up all your old interests. That's why I won't have a TV. I still have time to read, invite friends in for a chat or sometimes go to concerts or the cinema or theatre.

　　詩歌分享：

　　A Love Before Time

　　If the sky opened up for me

　　and the mountains disappeared

　　If the seas ran dry, turned to dust

　　and the sun refused to rise

　　I would still find my way

　　by the light I see in your eyes

　　the world I know fades away

　　but you stay

　　If the years take away

　　every memory that I have

　　I would still know the way

　　That would lead me back to your side

　　The North Star may die

　　but the light that I see in your eyes

　　will burn there always

　　lit by the love we have shared before time
