（Mike和小方在办公楼）
小方：嗨，Mike
Mike：嗨，小方，你手上拿的是什么大片？回头借我看看？
小方：呵呵，这可不是大片，是多哈亚运会跳水队的比赛录像。明天我不是要采访中国跳水队吗，所以先借他们的录像带回来看看。
Mike：多哈亚运会？那有郭晶晶比赛的录像吗？
小方：我想应该有吧。
Cultural Background
第十八课 跳水(I)
Early in the 20th century, what was called "fancy diving" entered the Olympic Games as a new event. "Fancy diving" is today what we call, simply, "diving". In fact, if you compare the diving program from the 1924 Summer Olympics, you´ll find that the current Olympic program in diving differs very little, whether it be springboard diving or platform diving.
