听力原文：Q: Mr. Chen (Yu-Lun), what kind of a magazine The World of English is？

A: Our magazine is of course a magazine for learning English. But we adopt a different way adhered to by some other English learning magazines. We don' t make a special effort to the discussion of the theoretical problems of English lexicology, English grammar, etc. We pay attention to concrete practice. We believe practice yields genuine knowledge. Aside from literary works, we put our emphasis on the provision of articles that cover various fields in order to help readers expand their vocabulary rapidly and enhance their reading level effectively, and concurrently to raise their level in writing. Moreover, perhaps the unique feature of our magazine is its arrangement in the bilingual English-Chinese form. and its detailed explanatory notes. It is quite convenient for self-study. Another motive of us is to render assistance to those who, while learning English, are able also to enrich their knowledge and enlarge their field of vision.

Q: What columns does The World of English have？

A: Well, it has a variety of columns, such as special articles, the literary world, the art circles, social science- economics, history and geography, science and technology, sports, personage, prism, garden of harmonious interest, western profiles, medicine and health, knowledgeable sketches, selected readings in newspapers and periodicals, culture and education, words and sentences, translation exercises, etc.

Q: Who are your target readers？

A: They are people of comparatively higher levels, consisting largely of university students, postgraduates, English workers, those who study English by themselves and lovers of English language. For example, I met some of my target readers in America and England in 1988 - 1989 when I visited some of the higher institutions as a visiting scholar. They were ail young and promising graduate students, very kind and obliging to me. They said that they were the ardent readers of our magazine and as a result of reading it, they had not only enlarged their English vocabulary and then succeeded in getting high grades in TOEFL and GRE, but also learned a lot of knowledge from the selected materials in our magazine which assisted them to go abroad to pursue further study.

Q: As far as I know you are the only regular staff of the magazine. How do you deal with the daily routine of writing or selecting articles and scripts for the magazine as well as the work such as printing and publishing ？

A: Yes, I am the only member of the official staff. That means I am the only member within the manning quota of the unit. But of course I cannot handle the work alone without the assistance of many of my trusted and capable friends who render invaluable assistance in the selection of materials, in translation, in editing, in proofreading, etc.

Q: I was tom you have a hard, rich and colorful life and your life is legendary, could you please tell us something about it？

A: Because my father died early and my 6 brothers and sisters also died early, I was under the special care of my mother who worked hard in the educational circle and was so dear to me that I should say that without her painstaking care I really could not survive till now. I' ll never forget her in my whole life. My father' s elder brother helped me a lot too. Due to the stringency or financial difficulties of the family, there' s no way out but to leave my home when very young to temper myself and to solve my livelihood problems. I might say that I had taken up all kinds of trade. I moved from Beijing to Shanghai in 1933 and left Sh
