[00:10.66]'Five minutes to go.'shouted the floor manager.'Is everyone ready?'
[00:19.62]Debbie and her friend Angela were in a television studio,
[00:27.06]watching the recording of a quiz programme.
[00:32.42]'I'm glad I'm not one of the contestants!' whispered Debbie.
[00:39.68]'They must feel really worried now!'
[00:45.32]'Oh,I would love to be a contestant,'said Angela.
[00:53.50]The three real contestants,two women and a man,
[01:01.26]were sitting at their desks,waiting.
[01:06.30] The hot lights were shining down on them.
[01:11.94]Suddenly,one of the women stood up,
[01:17.22]put a hand over her eyes, and then fell forward across the desk.
[01:24.58]'Oh,she's fainted.' grasped Debbie.
[01:30.96]Some television staff rushed to the poor woman,and helped her away.
[01:38.51]'Three minutes to go,' shouted the floor manager.
[01:44.15]The director hurried down from the control room.
[01:49.30]'We need another contestant,'he shouted,desperately.
[01:55.77]He asked the audience whether anyone wanted to be a contestant.
[02:03.14]Several hands went up.
[02:07.50]The director looked around.
[02:12.65]The nearest hand belonged to Angela.
[02:17.90]'You're on!' he shouted,and pulled her up onto the stage.
[02:24.88]'Make-up artist,come here!'he demanded.
[02:31.33]A girl rushed forward and quickly powdered Angela's face and combed her hair
[02:39.27]'That will have to do,'said the director.
[02:44.31]He told Angela to sit behind a desk.
[02:50.06]'Ten seconds,'shouted the floor manager.
[02:56.22]'Smile,everyone.Cue Lester!'
[03:01.97]He held his hands up and clapped,
[03:06.93]and everyone in the audience started clapping,too.A voice boomed out.
[03:15.71]'It's time for the Travel Quiz,and here's your host,Lessssster Liiiii!'
[03:24.64]Lester Li,with a big smile on his face,came running in.
[03:32.30]He told some jokes,
[03:36.06]introduced the three contestants and then started the quiz.
[03:43.22]Angela was terrific. She smiled and looked relaxed.
[03:51.68]She had seen this quiz on television many times before,and knew the rules.
[03:59.54]She answered the questions quickly,
[04:03.91]and was soon ahead of the other two contestants.
[04:09.68]Debbie,however,was a bag of nerves.
[04:16.52]She sat on the edge of her seat and chewed her fingernails!
[04:23.37]Twenty-five minutes later,Angela was in the final.
[04:30.21]She had beaten the other contestants,and was on her own.
[04:36.66]If she answered six more questions correctly within one minute,
[04:43.19]she would win the mystery prize.
[04:47.87]Debbie was so excited she could hardly keep still.
[04:54.95]Lester asked the questions,and Angela kept getting them right.
[05:02.60]Just one to go,and ten seconds left!
[05:09.08]'And finally,where is the Jurong Bird Park?' asked Lester.
[05:17.94]'In Singapore,'replied Angela.
[05:23.40]'Right!'shouted Lester as the audience applauded.

[12:47.84]meaning 'far',and the Latin word 'videre', meaning 'seeing'.
[12:55.11]Watching TV was,and still is,a major pastime for many people.
[13:02.97]But recently DVD has begun to enter the homes of thousands of ordinary people
[13:10.91]Many of you must be smart enough to figure out the meanings of the two D's in the name
[13:18.17]the first 'D' stands for 'digital' and the second 'D' for 'disc'.
[13:25.22]Therefore,a CVD means a Digital Video Disc.
[13:31.15]Compared with watching TV,using DVD is a big step forward.
[13:37.03]One advantage of the DVD is that being digital,the picture quality is excellent
[13:44.19]As there is no more wear and tear,every viewing is as good as the first,
[13:50.75]just a sharp and crisp picture all the time!
[13:56.08]Another advantage is that some DVDs can store as much as four hours of programmes
[14:04.83]After inserting the disc into the player,
[14:09.37]a menu will appear that allows you to enjoy various chapters from the movie.
[14:15.82]You can choose full screen or wide screen as you like
[14:21.39]possibly from different camera angles!
[14:25.46]Because of its various functions,
[14:29.30]DVD today also stands for Digital Versatile Disc
