马克在跟托德讨论阅读的乐趣。


Todd: Hey, Mark I saw that you're reading a book out there.


 


Mark: Yeah, that's right.


 


Todd: So, do you read a lot?


 


Mark: Yeah, I read a lot. In fact I don't have a television.


 


Todd: Ah, you're the man.


 


Mark: Seriously, I only read.


 


Todd: Wow, how many books do you get through a week?


 


Mark: A week! Ah, at least one a week, because I work all the time.


 


Todd: Oh, that's pretty good.


 


Mark: Yeah, but I enjoy reading because television doesn't give you imagination, yeah I prefer reading.


 


Todd: Yeah, I hear you. It rots 1 your mind, I think. Ah, also, what kind of books you like to read? What kind of genres 2?


 


Mark: Well, let's see, I've got a lot of nonfiction, a lot of comedy.


 


Todd: Cool, so actually, when you read, like where do you normally 3 read?


 


Mark: Where do I normally read? On the trains, actually. I'm always reading on the trains. I read because I'm always traveling to work. A lot of pleasure. And it's funny because I meet people on the trains when I'm reading, they look over at my book.


 


Todd: That's cool. I love to read on the trains.
