听力原文：M: How are your new neighbors, Alison?
W: They seem nice enough, but they have a son who is driving me crazy.
M: What do you mean?
W: He comes home every night around 10 with his car window rolled down and radio blaring. It stops as soon as he turns his car off, but by then, the kids are wide awakE.
M: Oh, no.
W: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes me an hour just to get them to settle down again.
M: Have you tried talking to them?
W: We haven't even really met them yet, except to say a quick hello. I hate to get off on the wrong foot.
M: You are not going to like them when you do meet them if you keep on complaining.
W: I know, but I feel stupid complaining. It's not as though he's blasting stereo all night.
M: You said yourself it's driving you crazy.
W: Well, you know how early I have to be here at the officE.I just don't get enough sleep and neither do the kids.
M: Maybe you could go over sometime with a little gift, a plant for the yard or something. Then you could ask about their son, whether they have other children, and they will be sure to ask about yours.
W: Yes, and then what?
M: And then you could mention that the hardest thing at this stage is getting your kids to go to sleep at night.

Today we will talk about Western media's presentation of the third worlD.In fact, it has always been quite problematiC.Today we have a British media sociologist join us to talk about how the British media treat China and the Third WorlD.Mr. Mungham, you've been teaching journalist studies for many years and some of your students ale from the Third World, so did you ever question about the way the British media present their home countries or the Third World in general? M: Yes. We do get the questions all the time about that. The British press tends to have a very limited agenda when they come to cover ChinA.They tend to, if driven largely by human interest stories, cover the bizarre kind, or they concentrate on the other classic disasters or crises. One exception is perhaps the Financial Times, the paper, I think, that gives China serious consideration. That paper is read by investors, by the big banks, the finance houses. They really want to show what's going on in China because that will influence their investment decisions. So if I want to raise some serious stuff about China, I always look at the Financial Times first, as my starting point. I don't think even the Guardian, which is a good paper, offers the kind of what we call intelligent, systematic coverage of China and China's concerns.Z: Then why do you think this is the case?M: It's not the fault that just lies with the press people in the western worlD.I mean some of it does. I think probably the key reason for this, this troubled coverage, is that most foreign coverage is expensive to do. And they, the British press, particularly the British popular press, have cut back drastically on foreign coveragE.They do cover the developing world, of course, if the royal members visit those countries. So you have that problem on our side but there are also problems on the other sidE.Some developing countries are not always friendly to receive western journalists. There are problems sometimes in reporting from the developing worlD.Some of those problems are political. There are problems of censorship and the restrictions on the travel and technical difficulties.Z: Do you think it is crucial for the independent market-driven media to coexist with the government official media? Do you think this will do good to political democracy in the Third-World countries?M: Well, I think the relationship between them is that if you have a fully independent media as in most of the western world, then there raises another issue of power, of control, of censorship. We take Britain as a case, since the end of the World War II you see this endless move towards monopoly ownership media--fewer and fewer owners but more and more influencE.This is what the market produces. So the idea that competition is the answer to all the media problems is not proved, I think.Z: Then what measures should be taken to check this monopoly?M: Well, that is a good question but I don't have the answer. I mean I don't know how you can regulate market forces when media is concerneD.In some countries, the government comes in and sets down new regulations or restructures, but in Britain... the British press is largely self--regulateD.In other words, in Britain there are certain principles about the way the press should behavE.It's done by something called the Press Complaint Commission, which is composed of newspaper people and a number of general publiC.They try to keep a check on the ethical behaviour of the press.
