瞬间秒杀听力 第545期:夜猫子

 

 My friend Paul is a night owl¹.

He doesn't go to bed until two in the morning.

Do you know why he stays up so late?

Well,he is addicted² to playing video games.

He starts to play them soon 

after he gets back from work.

He seldom talks to his family.

He just plays games on and on.

Even worse, he gets hungry easily,

so he eats a lot.

He also has the bad habit of smoking.

In fact,he is a heavy smoker³.

Unless he can change his lifestyle,

his days are numbered.

你知道他为什么要熬夜到这么晚吗?

他就是一直打电动游戏。
