4. A screen broke during an undersea storm and stopped the machine. 5. At last the designer solved the problems. 6. The families had plenty of stored oxygen, so they did not noticed that there was something wrong with their city. T T T THE DANGERS OF UNDERSEA LIVING Li Qiang is interviewing the designer of Saturation City, William Lee, about how he saved Saturation City from disaster. Listening Text Part 1 LQ: What happened? WL: Well, about three months ago, I was doing my monthly check of gate when I noticed something strange. LQ: What did you notice? WL: It was too quiet. When I stepped off the shuttle-submarine the air machines should have been making a loud noise but they weren’t. LQ: So was that your first feeling that something was wrong? WL: Yes. Then I found the solid steel gates to the city wouldn’t open. At first I wasn’t too worried, as there is a backup system in case things go wrong. When that didn’t work either, I realized we had two serious problems. Part 2 LQ: Did you tell the families in Saturation City? WL: No. I examined the air machine to see if I could repair it. Almost immediately I found the cause of the problem. LQ: What was it? WL: A screen broke during an undersea storm and stopped the machine. Luckily I had another screen in my tool-box. Once fixed, the air machine was as good as new. LQ: Did it solve the problem? WL: Yes, it did. As soon as I repaired the air machine the gate began to open. Then I went inside to check on the families. They were fine. They hadn’t noticed anything wrong. LQ: And now you’ve been made a hero. WL: Yes, but I don’t feel like one. It’s my job to make them feel safer. LQ: What a modest answer. I think they appreciated your devotion to duty.
