On the Dialog tab, I can't get the second-to-last sentence to play.  Tried both Chrome and IE.  Is it working for anyone else? 

This one:

B: 天啊,你的头发,眉毛,还有帽子,都结冰了!冷死了吧?
  tiān a, nǐ de tóufa, méimao, háiyǒu màozi, dōu jiébīng le! lěng sǐ le ba?
  My god! Your hair, your eyebrows, even your hat are all covered in ice! It must have been freezing, right?

Translator: did you mean "subway" or "high-speed rail"?

受暴雨影响,高铁暂停运行。
shòu bàoyǔ yǐngxiǎng, gāotiě zàntíng yùnxíng。
Due to the rainstorm, the subway suspended service.

Can anyone from CP speak to the status of this issue?

"纪录片"

is transcribed as pian4, but it sounds like they are saying pian1.  Both are correct, right?

"这种面膜效果怎么样?"

What kind of 面膜 does this refer to?  Would it be for medical use, air pollution, a  beauty treatment? or ??

Every time I try to load this lesson using the Android app, the app crashes.  Tech support, can you help?  It's only this lesson that has the problem (that I know of).

A question about this sentence:

我很喜欢坐的过山车,非常地刺激。
  wǒ hěn xǐhuan zuò de guòshānchē, fēicháng de cìjī.
  I really like to ride roller coasters; they're really exciting.

What is the function of the 的? Is there a grammatical explanation?  Would the sentence mean the same without it, i.e.,

我很喜欢坐过山车

philip8 -- I didn't have your problem with printing the particular lession. However, I have noticed that sometimes only page 1 of the Expansion or Grammar prints the first time you try. To forestall that, I always do a Print Preview to make sure there are no blank pages.

Well... regretfully, Vera 老师, most software is buggy, if you look hard enough at it. It's the nature of the beast.

Bugs or not, I love the CP Android app and appreciate the hard work that goes into it and to the whole site.
