W:That could be the reason.Don¡¯t worry,we¡¯ll find out soon.ª¤ (Text 9)ª¤ W:I like that picture you put up on the wall yesterday.ª¤ M:Oh,thank you.It¡¯s a photograph that I took on my vacation last year.ª¤ W:You took it yourself?I didn¡¯t know you were a photographer.ª¤ M:Oh,yes,I¡¯ve been taking pictures for years.ª¤ W:It sounds interesting.Do you have any more of your pictures here?And may I see them?ª¤ M:Yes,certainly.Some of them are faces,just faces of people whom I see when I¡¯m walking around.ª¤ W:Do you let them know that you¡¯re taking pictures of them?ª¤ M:I try not to.I don¡¯t like pictures of people who set themselves for the camera.I like people who are going about their business without knowing the camera¡¯s there.ª¤ W:I suppose you need a lot of equipment.How many cameras do you have?ª¤ M:Well,I have a dozen of them,but I use two of them more than the others.ª¤ (Text 10)ª¥ My friend Paul told me an old joke about a travelling salesman the other day.The man¡¯s name was Phil and he used to drink a lot after work.Phil had gone to a strange town one day and had spent the evening in a small restaurant.He¡¯d drunk quite a lot and had just come out of the restaurant when he saw another man in the middle of the road.The other man had been in the restaurant,too,and had drunk even more than Phil had.He¡¯d obviously seen something strange in the sky because he was pointing up.¡°Excuse me,¡± the man asked Phil,¡°Is that the sun or the moon?¡±Phile looked at it for a second and then said,¡°I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t help you.I¡¯m a stranger here myself.¡±ª¥
