电影结束时我见到了导演莎米尔，一个头发剃成男子般短穿黑色短裙的雅利安种女人，她有一双散发狂热的碧色眼睛，长而笔挺的腿。马克向她介绍了我，她用那种很特别的眼神看着我，拘谨地伸出手，我却伸臂对她行厂拥抱礼，她似乎有些意外，但很高兴。
就像马克事先对我说的那样，莎米尔足个地道的累斯嫔。从她看我的眼神里有—种幽然情挑的有别于一般女性间交流的东西。
听力原文：Friend: I like your new T-shirt, Sarah.
Sarah: Mm. The colours are nice, but the problem is it's too big. I got it from the shop at the sports centre. I went swimming there because it was a hot day, but it was too noisy for me. There were a lot of people in the pool.
Friend: So was it difficult to find a space in the car park there？
Sarah: Yes! It's not big enough.
Friend: Did you go to the cafe？
Sarah: Yes, for a cold drink. But I didn't stay. The tables and floor weren't clean.
Friend: Ugh! But I hear they have a good football club there.
Sarah: That's right. My brother wanted to go but it starts too late in the evening for him. It's a pity because it's not an expensive club.
Friend: Can you learn tennis there？
Sarah: I called about lessons but they cost too much.
Friend: I'll teach you tennis — but not today — it's too hot. Let's go for a cold swim in the river.

谈到亚洲的经济，一位世界银行的官员表示，他经常周游列国，几乎每周都会飞到亚洲，每次来到这里他都感觉良好。他认为，亚洲克服了前所未有的经济困难，虽然经济转型估计还会持续一段时间，但亚洲已经打下了良好的基础，足以建立起长期的繁荣稳定。因此，他对亚洲经济，特别是中国经济的中、长期发展感到乐观。他指出，到2020年，中国的生产总值会再翻两番，达到四万亿美元。他相信，只要亚洲各国努力把握面前的机遇，从长远看，亚洲经济的前景会是光明的。
