Dialogue A

Jason and his roommate, Linda, are in the living room.

Jason: Do you want to rent a DVD tonight?
Linda: Sorry, I'm occupied with planning my trip to Israel.
Jason: Why are you going there?
Linda: My family lives in Israel and I'm eager to celebrate Hanukkah1 and Christmas with them this year.
Jason: I didn't know you were Jewish2.
Linda: Actually, I'm only half Jewish. I guess that's why I celebrate both.

As a young man on stage, few knew that Charlie Chaplin would become one of the most important people in movie history. Born in London in 1889, Charlie was a natural talent since both of his parents had been actors. In fact, his skills as a performer helped him survive the hardships of a very difficult childhood. His father died when Charlie was a child and his mother suffered from a mental illness that left her incapable of caring for her children. After the hospitalization of their mother, Charlie and his brother were forced to fend for themselves. They did so through performing on the stage.

Chaplin's comedic personality took him to America, where he became a great star of the silent screen in 1914. His signature character was the Tramp, a pauper with a little moustache, cane, and bowler hat. He paraded around as a gentleman, landing himself in all kinds of interesting situations. As the character of the Tramp, Chaplin made a stream of successful silent films.

In 1927, talkies, or films with synchronized sound, were introduced. Nevertheless, Chaplin continued to make silent films, and in fact, some of his best. He had an amazing ability to blend humor with a bit of emotion without uttering a single line of dialogue. Moreover, although seemingly simple on the surface, Chaplin's films had strong political undertones. In Modern Times, a movie filmed during the Depression, the Tramp is a factory worker struggling in an industrial society. In The Great Dictator, Chaplin made an even bolder move by taking on the role of a leader similar to Adolf Hitler and speaking on film for the first time.

The Arctic Ocean's sea ice has shrunk to its second smallest area on record, close to 2007's record-shattering low, scientists report.

The ice is in a "death spiral" and may disappear in the summers within a couple of decades, according to Mark Serreze, an Arctic climate expert at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.

Cindy: This restaurant isn't clean. Look Bruce. There's a hair in my soup again.
Bruce: I don't think it's the restaurant's fault. Cindy, I'm losing my hair.
Cindy: That's why the sink at your house is always plugged.
Bruce: There's another thing too. You know why I always want to sit close to the TV? Well, it's because I wear glasses. I just haven't worn them in front of you yet.
Cindy: Don't worry so much. My dad is bald and has glasses. I prefer guys like that.
Bruce: You're the first person to ever say that to me.

First it began as little night pains in the leg, the kind most parents associate with growing pains. We told our little girl, "Don't worry, it will go away," and the next morning it seemed fine. She ran and played and enjoyed the days of summer, like her friends did.

英解︰to yell or scream as loudly as one can

我們常用肺活量來衡量一個人的音量，所以當我們說「達到肺活量的極限」，就是指這個人「聲嘶力竭」或「用盡吃奶的力氣大聲嘶吼」。
