【正确答案】problem
The man is in a trouble of publishing his article in the school newspaper. He had planned to attach some photos to the newspaper. But soon he found that these pictures were not developed properly and he could do nothing on it.
solutions
The woman gives him two possible options. He can publish the article without any pictures attached to the newspaper or take the place of such photos with new ones.
best solution
For me, the latter one may be better.
reasons
Because newspapers with more colorful and meaningful images will undoubtedly interest readers. So removing the pictures from the article would make it seem so sterile. Instead, the man can replace them with some new photos since there is still one day left before the deadline.
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Hello, dear. I haven't seen you since our seminar last week. How is everything going?
M: I am fine. My article is about to be published on our school newspaper.
W: Oh, that's great! But...you don't look very happy. What's going on?
M: Some pictures I was supposed to attach to the newspaper have run into a little problem. I mean the photos developed are not clear. But the worst thing is that no one seems to know how to clean up and make them look perfect.
W: Why not just publish the article without any pictures?
M: No, I really can't do this because images are greatly required in order to capture students' attention to my article. Typically, younger readers like college students spend less time reading the newspaper than older readers. They would respond more favorably to interesting and informative pictures engaged in a story than to the scenario alone. So we need pictures to attract students to our newspaper.
W: Yes, that makes sense to me. Magazines with more entertaining and colorful graphics usually attract a lot of young readers. So how much time is left before your article is published in the newspaper?
M: I guess I have just one day left.
W: Okay. Why don't you take some new pictures since you still have some time?
M: Maybe you're right! But there's only one day away from the scheduled day. Isn't it too late to take new pictures?
