听力原文: You ask me to explain to you how I find out what is happening? Well, news can be something the authorities want you to know, or something they would rather keep secret. An announcement of a government success, a denial of a failure, or, a secret scandal that nobody really wants you to talk about. If the authorities want to tell the world some good news, they issue statements, communiques, and call press conferences. Or, politicians make speeches. Local newspapers, radio and television help to alert foreign correspondents to what is going on. And by making contacts with local officials, journalists can ask for more information or explanations to help them write their stories. Unless the correspondent is an eyewitness, it's rare to trust any single source. Officials have a policy to defend, opposition politicians want to attack it. Rumor and gossip can also confuse the situation. So, you have to check information as much as possible, using common sense and experience as final checks to help establish just what's likely to be the truth, or close to it.
What is this talk mainly about?
A.Where to find good reporters.
B.How to get news stories.
C.How authorities affect the authenticity of news reports.
D.How to become a good foreign correspondent.
W: Change?
M: Yes. The last day of examinations for your group will be December the 2nd instead of November the 29th.
W: Is that definite? We were told they'd be on November the 26th, and then there was a rumor they'd be on December the 1st.
M: The schedule's gone to the printer. There can be no changes. It's definitely December the 2nd.
W: That's relief. I'm going to the US on December the 4th.
M: Are you one of the exchange students?
W: Yeah. I'm really looking forward to studying there. Do you know if their general science courses are anything like ours?
M: Actually all basic general science courses are fairly similar. You'll find you're behind in some things and ahead in others. I wouldn't worry too much about the course. You've been doing well on this one. Well, I'll expect it next week. Now, would you like to hear the details of the timetable?
W: Oh. Yes, please.
M: I've just finished putting it on the notice board downstairs. Basically you'll have four examinations. General Mechanics is in the morning of December the 1st, physics and maths are on the afternoon of the stone day. Communications and English are on the morning of December the 2nd and Earth Science in the afternoon.
