听力原文：W: I often read two newspapers. Washington Post and The Sun. What about you? M: I will buy the newspaper whose headlines catch my eyes in the front page. Do you buy the two newspapers everyday? W: Yes, that way I'm sure not to miss any of my favorite sections. Doesn't the size of tile daily paper surprise you? M: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff—the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators—must be busy continuously. They need a large circulation to support such a staff, don't they? W: I'm sure they do. Of course, much of a newspaper's income comes from advertisements. M: That's true. I try to read the whole paper, don't you? W: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business section carefully. Do you read those? M: No, but I do read the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didn't you? W: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. Do you think newspapers should print stories like that? M: Certainly they should! They're part of the news of the day and people want to know about them. Don't you agree? W: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It seems to me that newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society section and more comic strips. Don't you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events? M: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you don't like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two news papers? If I were you, I wouldn't read a newspaper at all. (23)
