"The shooting will start in five minutes!" the director shouted: "Is everyone ready?"

"I'm very happy I'm not one of the players," Mandy whispered: "The players must be very nervous now."

"Oh, I wish I could be one of the players," Angela said.

At this time, the three contestants are on the stage, sitting behind their respective tables, waiting. A hot spotlight shines on them. Suddenly, one of the female players stood up and leaned forward on her desk.

"Oh, she must have fainted from the heat," Mandy gasped. A photographer helped the female contestant off the stage.

The director rushed down from the control room across the stage and shouted: "We need one more contestant before the show starts. Who wants to be on TV?"

Angela raised her hand hand. The director saw it and said, "It's you!" The director asked Angela to sit on the stage, and a makeup artist followed immediately, quickly applying some powder on Angela and combing her hair.

"Ten seconds left!" the director shouted, "Everyone smile. Host Lester!" The audience began to applaud.

The host's voice sounded: "It's time for the TRAVE Q&A show. Host Lee Lester is on stage!"

Lester Lee ran out of the stage and stood in front of the contestants' seats. The quiz show begins.

Angela did very well. She answered all the questions with ease and was far ahead of the other two contestants.

On the contrary, Mandy was very nervous. She sat on the edge of her seat, biting her nails while watching the show.

After 25 minutes, Angela defeated the other contestants and she could win the grand prize by answering six more questions.

Mandy fidgeted with excitement. Angela has answered five questions correctly, leaving only the last question.

"Last question, where is the Colosseum?" Lester asked. "In Rome, Italy" Angela replied.

"Correct!" Lester shouted. The audience applauded. "You won tonight's grand prize, a trip for two to Paris."

Have you ever thought about becoming part of the plot when watching a movie? Come to the Imax Theater of Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and you can truly experience it. A screen surrounds the audience in a theater. There are 44 speakers behind the large screen, and the sound effects are lifelike. Movies with nature themes are generally shown in such theaters.

If your home has a home entertainment system, you can experience similar effects at home. Home entertainment systems use a widescreen flat-screen television, usually wall-mounted. Stereo speakers are installed around the audience. Digital technology makes television images and sounds highly clear.

For those who love music, MP3 is essential. Since the invention of MP3 in 1997, people have taken it with them wherever they go. MP3 uses digital technology to store and play music. Most MP3 players are smaller than a lighter, and they can store hundreds of hours of music. When using MP3, you can do whatever you want while listening to music. You no longer need to carry around CDs and tapes.

It’s really long and I’m exhausted. . .
