[00:07.42]Exercise 2 Listen to the interview with Ananova
[00:11.71]and answer the questions.
[00:14.01]Hi,and welcome to his week's Computer World.
[00:16.89]To start off...
[00:18.35]Good evening.Here is the news.
[00:20.72]Yes,Ananova,
[00:22.03]the world's first "virtual" newsreader.
[00:24.13]She presents the news twenty-fours
[00:26.12]a day on Ananova.com.
[00:27.87]And tonight she's in the studio
[00:29.19]for an interview with us,well,what I mean is,
[00:32.02]she's here on screen,of course,
[00:33.45]because she's not real,
[00:34.98]she's a virtual character-just an image.
[00:37.55]Is that clear?Ah,another thing,
[00:40.04]it's not a real interview.
[00:42.36]What I'm trying to say
[00:43.29]is that we sent the questions
[00:44.54]to her programmers beforehand.
[00:45.95]But she certainly sounds good.
[00:47.58]Ananova,welcome to the programme. Thank you.
[00:50.39]Now,I mentioned your "image".
[00:52.19]Could you explain how your creators decided
[00:53.82]what you should look like?
[00:55.52]Well,it started back in 1999.
[00:58.81]My creator wanted a human face for their super-
[01:01.52]fast computer system thatdelivers real-time
[01:03.97]news and informantion.So they created me
[01:07.05]to provide news the moment it happens.
[01:09.46]I'm the only news reader that can read millions
[01:11.60]of different stories ot millions of dfferent
[01:14.02]people simultaneously and on demand.
