听力原文：W: You don' t look smart this morning. I can see you' re not happy.

M: I had never expected this would have happened to me. We had a power failure at home last night.

W: How come？ Did anyone in the family do anything wrong？

M: You've guessed it. It was all my father's fault.

W: What did he do？

M: I was just watching a wonderful football feature program on TV when the lights suddenly went out.

W: Why was that？

M: You see, we' d just had our dinner. My mother was washing my jeans in the washing machine. And the air-conditioners were on in both rooms. I was in my room watching TV.

W: What was your father doing then？

M: He wanted to warm his tea in the microwave oven. He plugged it in and the fuse broke. And everything stopped all of a sudden.

W: Your next-door neighbor is an electrician, isn' t he？

M: Yes. Luckily, he happened to be at home. He came and fixed it up. But it was hag an hour later. I had already missed a lot.

W: It was an annoying experience for a sports fan like you. But don' t miss the basketball final this evening. Make sure there is no power failure tonight.
