Read the following conversation and answer the question. Sam: Hey, Henry, how's everything going, and what's with the flowers? Henry: They're for my wife. Sam: Oh, a wedding anniversary or something? Henry: To tell the truth, it couldn't be worse. [Oh]. You see, I have to pick my wife up from the airport this evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps. Sam: Oh really? What happened? Henry: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of them got all excited, and started horsing around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked over my wife's 250-year old Chinese porcelain vase given to her [Oh no!], given to her by her grandmother, and broke it beyond repair. Sam: Man, have you tried ... Henry: ... super glue? Yeap, but she would be able to tell in a second I was trying to pull something over her eyes. Sam: Oh, wow. You're in hot water now. Henry: If it had only been that. Sam: Oh, there's more? Henry: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has been writing for the past two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages. [Oh no.] And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched, uh, the rest game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript to a crisp. Sam: But what about an electronic file copy? Had one, didn't she? Henry: Well, actually, her computer crashed the day before while I was playing some computer games, and I haven't been able to get it to work since. Sam: Man, are you in trouble now. [I know.] You're going to have a hard time digging yourself out of this one. [Yeah.] Ah, so I get it now. You're buying the flowers for her as a part of some kind of peace offering, right? Henry: No, not at all. They're for my funeral. Sam: [laughter] Question: What was Henry doing Friday night when his problems started? - He was watching a game on TV with some pals. - He was playing basketball with a few of his friends. - He was having a barbeque with a couple of buddies.

Question: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: You're the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover? M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don't cover international stories. We don't cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our British audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill. W: How do you choose the topic? Do you choose one because it's what the public wants to know about or because it's what you feel the public ought to know about? M: I think it's a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite small things. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesn't seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied. W: How do you know that you've got a really successful program? One that is just right for the time? M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that. Question: How does Public Eye choose its topics? - Based on the poll of public opinions. - By interviewing people who file complaints. - Based on public expectations and editors' judgment.
Answer: Based on public expectations and editors' judgment.
