We wor k together a t-a cafe latte.咖费拉teiHow’s she doing? I’ve been meaning to call her.Well, to be honest, I’ve always＃thought-she was a little difficult. Bu t these days, I find-h er impossible.Wha t do you mean?Oh, you know how she’s? She-h as-such strong ideas abou t everything. An d-if you don’t-agree with her, she lets you know what-she thinks of you.Yes, that’s true. Bu t that’s why we love-her, right?I guess-so. But-she’s changed a lot since she starte d college.

James always gives the best parties! And there are always lots of interesting new people to meet.W: It’s true. I don’t know where he manages to find them all.M: Well, you know what he’s like. He makes friends very easily. He really likes talking to people -and he loves inviting people over.W: Uh - huh. He invited to for dinner last Saturday. What a feast!M: Yeah. He’s a great cook, too.W: After dinner, I offered to help clean up, and he told me not to worry about it. He said he’d take care of it later. He was, like, “It’s nothing. . . No big deal.”3.Mr. JohnsonHave you me t the new apar t men t manager?Mr. J ohnson? Yeah, I met h im last-week. He is a little strange.Yeah, he is. I’m no t sure-I like-h im. He’s har d to predict.

He told me three times he’d come to fix the light-in my kitchen, and he still hasn’t done it.P. 11A.Tracy: Guess what . . . I’ve found a summer job!Mark: That’s great! Anything interesting?Tracy: Yes, working at an amusement park.Mark: Wow, that sounds fantastic!Tracy: So,have you found anything?Mark: Nothing yet, but I have a couple of leads. One is working as an intern for a record company - mostly answering phones. Or I can get a landscaping job again.Tracy: Being an intern sounds more interesting than landscaping. You’d have better hours, and it’s probably not as much work.Mark: Yeah, but a landscaper earns more than an intern. And you get a great tan!B.Mark: So what will you be doing at the amusement park, exactly?Tracy: Actually, I’ll have two jobs. First, I’ll be working at a place called Children’s World. They have all kinds of interesting games and educational activities for young kids. I have to go to a training program for three days before I start.Mark: Three days? Wow, the equipment must be pretty high-tech!Tracy: Oh, it is - a lot of computers and interesting devices. It’s just the kind of stuff that kids love. Mark: Well, it sounds like the perfect job for you. I know how much you love kids. So what’s your other job?Tracy: Well, I’ll also be one of the people who walks around the park greeting people.Mark: Do you mean you’ll have to dress up in a costume?Tracy: Yes, as a cartoon character! I know, I know. It sounds silly. And it’s certainly not as rewarding as working in Children’s World, but it’s part of the job.P 12CarlosWoman: So where are you working this-summer, Carols?Carlos: Oh, I’m working as a tutor in a learning center for kids.W: Interesting. Wha t kinds of things do the kids do there?C: Well, they work on subjects they need help in, uh, mainly math and English.W: Is your job hard?C: No, not at all. The kids work on computers most of the time. We have to help them get started and be there when they run into problems.W: Do you enjoy it?C: Oh, yes. Working with kids is so much more fun than working with adults. And I get to choose my own hours. As long as I work eight hours a day, I can come in-at anytime from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. W: Lucky you!PaulWoman: Paul, did you find a summer job, yet?Paul: Yeah, I’m working in a restaurant.W: Oh, how’s i t going?P: Oh, the money’s no t bad.W: What are you doing? Are you waiting tables?P: I wish! No. I’m working in th e kitchen. I cut up stuff for the chef – vegetables an d mea t an d things. I also wash the dishes.W: Oh, yuck.P: Yeah. It’s pretty har d work. I didn’t realize how hot it is in a restaurant kitchen until I took this job.W: So why don’t you quit?P: I’d love to, but I nee d the money.JuliaMan: So wha t kind of jo b did you find for the summer?Julia: I’m working for a marketing company. I’m doing telephone marketing.M: Oh, so you’re one of those people who drives me crazy by calling me up and trying to persuade me to buy something that I have absolutely no need for.J: Exactly.M: Do you like it?J: Believe it or not, I do. It’s mos t ly a bunch of students working there, an d we have a lot of fun when we’re no t making calls. It’s really easy, too, since we jus t have to read from a script.M: Are you doing this full time?J: Yes, but I work from two in th e afternoon until eleven a t nigh t, so I ge t to sleep as late as I wan t to in the morning.P. 141.Taxi driversJohn: It really upsets me when taxi drivers drive so fast. I’m always terrified of having an accident. Ann: That doesn’t really bother me. I like to get where I’m going quickly. But I can’t stand it when they have their radios turned up all the way. You can’t even hear yourself think!2.People with dogsAnn: I hate it when people take their dogs to a park and let them make messes all over the place. It’s so irresponsible.John: You know what bothers me? I hate it when they go out and leave their dogs at home, barking all day. commercialsJohn: I can’t stand it when they turn up the volume on TV commercials. They’re so loud. Why do they do that?Ann: Yeah, that is annoying. But it bothers me more when they interrupt a ballgame at the most exciting moment to show some stupid commercial.4.Store clerksAnn: It really upsets me when store clerks are rude. Sometimes, if they think that you aren’t going to buy anything, they aren’t helpful and won’t answer your questions.John: Yeah. But on the other hand, I can’t stand it when store clerks give you the hard sell, and try to get you to buy something you don’t really want.P. 16A.Rod: Hello.Jana: Hi, Rod. This is Jana.Rod: Oh, hi, Jana. What’s up?Jana: I’m going to my best friend’s wedding this weekend. I’d love to take some pictures for his Web site. Would you mind if I borrowed your new digital camera?Rod: Um, no. That’s OK, I guess. I don’t think I’ll need it for anything.Jana: Thanks a million.Rod: Sure.

Listen, the reason I’m calling is I have a really big favor to ask you.Rose: Yes?Jana: Remember I told you about that friend of mine who’s getting married to a woman he met in Barcelona?Rose:Yeah, I remember. And . . . ?Jana: Well, the wedding’s this Saturday afternoon, and it’s out in the country - about an hour’s drive from here - and I was wondering if you’d mind lending me your car for the afternoon to get there.Rose:Gee, Jana, I’d really love to help you out, but I’m going to need me car all weekend. I’ve got a friend coming in from out of town, and I promised to show her the sights.Jana: Oh, OK. I understand. Anyway, how are things? I haven’t seen you for ages.Rose: Oh, you know, work, work, work!P. 181.TinaRobert: [phone rings] Hello.Tina: Hi, Robert. This is Tina.Robert: Hi, Tina.

I’ve been meaning to take it in to get fixed, but I haven’t gotten around to it.Mike: Oh, too bad.Sandy: But you know, you can always rent one.most video stores have machine to rent.

It’s Phil.Li-Ling: Hi Phil, what’s up?Phil: Not much, but I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor.Li-Ling: Hmm . . . Maybe. Try me!Phil: Well, I have to go out of town for a few days next week.Li-Ling: Uh-huh.Phil: Could I leave Polly with you while I’m gone?Li-Ling: Polly? Who’s Polly?Phil: You know - Polly, my bird.Li-Ling: Oh, yeah. I forgot. Your bird. I don’t know, Phil. I really don’t like birds very much. They’re messy, and they make a lot of noise, and . . .Phil: No, not Polly. She’s really a great bird. She’s really clean and very quiet. She won’t bother you - I promise.Li-Ling: Oh, all right. I’ll do it.Phil: Thanks. I really appreciate it. I’ll bring her over on Tuesday night.Li-Ling: OK. But you owe me one!P.241.Woman: A man who considered himself a snake charmer was seriously injured on Sunday by a three-and-a-half-meter snake in a town in Thailand. It seems that the rushed to see the giant snake after friends told him that it was beside one of the town’s main roads. The snake charmer put it around his neck, and while he and his friends were walking home, the snake almost strangled him to death.2.Man: Two teenage girls who disappeared from a ship were found alive and well. The girls turned up on Friday, near a small town on the northeast coast of Australia. The girls said they were visiting a friend on the ship and fell asleep in their friend’s cabin. When they woke up, the ship was heading for Singapore, so they decided to jump off the ship and swim to shore. They found themselves on a deserted part of the Australian coast, and had to walk over 100 miles to the nearest town.3.Woman: Early Tuesday morning in California, two police officers who were pursuing a car thief down Hollywood Boulevard in a high-speed chase were rescued by the thief. During the chase, the officers’ car overturned and fell into a shallow river. The officers couldn’t get out of the car, which was rapidly filling up with water. The thief went back to the scene of the accident and helped rescue the officers. The Hollywood Police Department has decided to drop charges against the thief for saving the officers’ lives.P. 25A .Brian: Someone stole my wallet last night!Kathy: Oh, no! What happened?Brian: Well, I was working out, and I had put my stuff in my locker, just like I always do. When I came back, someone had stolen my wallet. I guess I’d forgotten to lock the locker.Kathy: That’s terrible! Did you lose much money?Brian: Only about $15. But I lost my credit card and my driver’s license. What a pain!BKathy: Hmm. That reminds me of when I had my purse stolen last year.Brian: Really? What happened?Kathy: Well, it was when I was in Belgium. I was on my way to the airport, so I was standing on the side of the road with my bags, trying to figure out the bus schedule. Anyway, this bunch of guys came by and asked if they could help me. They spoke very broken English, and I couldn’t really understand what they were saying. Finally, they left, and when I looked down, I realized my purse had disappeared. It had my wallet in it with all my traveler’s checks and my money and my credit card. Well, luckily, I had put my airline ticket and my passport in one of my carry-on bags. Brian: How awful! So what did you do?Kathy: Well, first I screamed at the top of my lungs and tried to run after the guys - but they were too fast. Then, I did just what I had seen people do on TV: I called my credit card company. Brian: Were they helpful?Kathy: They were lifesavers! They told me to go to a local bank, and in to time at all, they’d given me new traveler’s checks and sent to on my way.P. 291.Man: Even though she had hurt her ankle while she was running, she went to work anyway.2.Woman: John wrote me last year, but I didn’t get the letter. I’d moved away.3.Man: I’d been very scared about the flight, so when the plane landed, I was relieved.4.Woman: When his sister called, he was taking a shower. Luckily, he had turned on his answering machine.P. 33Marta: Guess what! I just got invited to my teacher’s house for dinner.Karen: Oh, how nice!M: Yes, but what do you do here when you’re invited to someone’s house?K: Well, it’s the custom to bring a small gift.M: Really? Like what?K: Oh, maybe some flowers or chocolates.M: And is it all right to bring a friend along?K: Well, if you want to bring someone, you’re expected to call first and ask if it’s OK.P. 341. AliceOne thing that I have to ge t use d to when I was traveling in Korea was the way people make noise when they drink soup. I think it’s because they wan t to show tha t they’re really enjoying their food. So they make a slurping noise. I t bother me a t first. But then I ge t use to i t. I guess it’s because my parents spen t years when I was a kid telling me no t to make noise while I was eating.2. johnWhen I lived in Spain, I was surprised a t how late people eating in the evening. When you’re invite d to dinner, you are aske d to come aroun d nine-o’clock an d you usually don’t star t dinner until ten. An d people stay terribly late – sometimes until two in the morning or even later. I found i t difficult. How does one get up an d go to work or school the nex t day after eating an d (drinking)talking until three in the morning?3. SusanI lived in (the Middle East)Saudi Arabia for a while, an d when I went out, I ha d to obey the local custom of (wearing)putting something over my head and wearing a (dress)clothing tha t covered my whole body. A t first, I found it a real nuisance, but after a while, I got use d to i t and even starte d to like it. You feel really secure, and-also you don’t have to worry abou t wha t to wear-all the time.P. 381.C: Can I help you?M: Yes-I bought this briefcase here last week, but there’s something wrong with the lock. I can’t get-it-to close properly.C: Let me see. Yes, I see what you mean. The lock seems to be jammed or something. No problem. I’ll get you another one. Sorry about that.2.W: Excuse me?C: Yes?W: I wonder if you could take a look-at these shoes I bought-here. They’re pretty new, but they seem to be falling apart. <我想知道（请问）是否、能否......and stuff>C: Hmm. Let me see. Yes, this doesn’t look right. The stitching is coming out. How long did you say you’ve had them?W: Only about a month. Here’s the receipt.C: Hmm…yes. Well, let me exchange these for you. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.3.M: Excuse me?C: Yes, how can I help you?M: You see this-shirt? I bought-it here a few weeks ago, but the first time-I washed it, the color changed: It went from bright red to light pink.C: How did you wash-it?M: Well, I just-tossed-it-into the washing machine with my other clothes.C: What temperature did you use?M: I usually wash my clothes in hot water, so I guess hot.C: Well, did you check the washing instructions?M: Um…maybe not.C: Well, you see here on this label? It says, “Wash in cold water only.”M: Um-hmm.C: So I’m really sorry, but since you didn’t follow the washing instructions, I can’t really do anything for you.A.Ms. Lock: Hello.Mr. Burr: Hello, Ms. Lock. This is Jack Burr.Ms. Lock: Uh, Mr. Burr . . .Mr. Burr: In Apartment 305.Ms. Lock: Oh, yes. What can I do for you? Does your refrigerator need fixing again?Mr. Burr: No, it’s the oven this time.Ms. Lock: Oh, so what’s wrong with it?Mr. Burr: Well, I think the temperature control needs to be adjusted. The oven keeps burning everything I try to cook.Ms. Lock: Really? OK, I’ll have someone look at it right away.Mr. Burr: Thanks a lot, Ms. Lock.Ms. Lock: Uh, by the way, Mr. Burr, are you sure it’s the oven and not your cooking?BMs. Lock: [phone rings] Hello.Mrs. Harris: Yes, this is Ms. Lock.Ms. Lock: This is Lula Harris in Apartment 216.Mrs. Lock: Yes. How can I help you, Mrs. Harris?Mrs. Harris: I’m having a problem with the electricity.Ms. Lock: What sort of problem with the electricity?Mrs. Harris: Well, it keeps going off and coming back on again.Ms. Lock: I see. Is it just the lights or is it the appliances, too?Mrs. Harris: Let me check . . . No, the refrigerator is OK, so it must be just the lights.Ms. Lock: I guess the fuse box needs to be checked. I’ll come up and take a look at it right away. Mrs. Harris: Thanks so much.P.401.JoeJoe: I work in the watch repair center at a large department store. I repair all kinds of watches, but nowadays, most of them are pretty easy to fix because they all run on batteries. The most common problem is they need a new battery. Since that only takes a minute or so to fix, I always have plenty of time to tell my watch jokes - like this one: What time is it when an elephant sits on you watch? Time to buy a new watch! And here’s another one: What time is it when the big hand is on . . . .2.LouiseLouise: I repair luggage - mostly suitcases. I have a little shop at the airport. People spend a lot of money on luggage, and often all it takes is one flight for a suitcase to get damaged. The most typical problem, I guess, is the wheels. I fix the wheels on about 20 suitcases a week. It’s not surprising, really, with the way those baggage handlers throw people’s luggage around. You’d think they were playing ball, the way they toss the suitcases . . . .3.SamSam: I repair household appliances. The most frequent calls I get are from people who are having trouble with the garbage-disposal system in their kitchen sink. Usually the thing gets jammed because people put too much food into it at one time, or something metal or plastic has fallen down into it. It’s usually pretty easy to fix a garbage disposal, but every once in a while, you run into situations that aren’t exactly typical. One time, a little girl put her doll down into the disposal - she thought the doll would enjoy the ride. She couldn’t get it back out again, and she was afraid to tell her mother. So when the mother went to use the disposal, it made a horrible noise and then died - and so did the doll.P. 431.Hello, Mr. Smith? I was wondering if you coul d change the ligh t-bulb ou t front? I t wen t-out again. Later, I’ll take care of i t later. I’m really busy right now. An d besides, it’s-still light ou t side, and-i t will be for-another five hours.Bu t I’ll be coming home late tonight, an d-i t woul d be dark.I woul d love to help-you. Bu t somebody borrowed my ladder. I don’t have a ladder.Well, you know, I have a chair. And-if you jus t give me a ligh t-bulb, I wouldn’t min d doing i t myself, OK?Oh, OK, here! Take a ligh t-bulb from one of my lamps. So you know-i t works.Thank you!2.Uh, excuse me. Mr. Smith?Yeah?Uh, I was wondering if you coul d do something abou t my nex t-door neighbor’s dog? It’s been barking an d keeping me up all nigh t.Hi, dogs bark, that’s all they do.Yes, bu t they don’t have to bark all night. This is three nights in a row.Have you seen th e size of tha t dog? You wan t me to go up there? Tha t dog could hur t me!Well, I need my sleep.Look, look, I’ll tell you wha t, I’ll call you neighbor-on-th e phone, an d I ask if h e can keep h is dog quie t.OK, thank you.3.Tenant: Mr. Smith.Mr. Smith: Mrs. Taylor.Tenant: I have a problem.Mr. Smith: What is it now?Tenant: My mail arrives later and later every day.Mr. Smith: Mrs. Taylor, I think that’s the post office’s fault - not mine. You should complain to the post office.Tenant: Mr. Smith, I think that it’s your job to take care of this!Mr. Smith: OK, Mrs. Taylor. I’ll go down to the post office and speak to someone . . . tomorrow.P. 461.JennyJenny: You know, I’ve been reading a lot about the problem of landfills -and it really has me worried.Man: Why?Jenny: Well, it seems that the easiest way of disposing of trash is by burying it in landfills. The problem is that in many countries the landfills have already been filled up, and it’s hard to find places to start new ones. No one wants a huge landfill anywhere near their neighborhood. Man: So what’s the solution?Jenny: Well, there is no easy solution. But many cities are trying to do more recycling so that they can reduce the amount of stuff that goes into the landfills.2.AdamWoman: I can’t believe it’s become dangerous to get a suntan. What is this world coming to? Adam: well, the sun has never been good for you, but it’s really dangerous now. You see, the ozone layer, which helps protect us from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, has been damaged by pollution in the air. When the ozone layer gets too thin, it can cause an increase in skin cancer and other problems.Woman: But is there anything we can do to solve the problem?Adam: Sure. One of the biggest threats to the ozone layer is cars - the exhaust gases from cars. The best way to save the ozone layer is to drive less. So in many places, people are being asked to carpool.3. KatyKaty: You know, you always hear-abou t air pollution, bu t no t many peopl e-are awar e-of the problem of water pollution.Man: You mean-in-th e oceans?K: No. I mean polluted drinking water. It’s a problem-in-almost every major city in-th e world. Almost all-our rivers-an d lakes – where we get our drinking water from – are being polluted in some way by businesses farms, homes, industries, and other sources. An d even though the water most of us drink is treated, it’s-still not 100 (a hundred) percen t pure.M: So what’s the solution?K: Well, it’s a complicated problem to solve, bu t basically what’s involved/ is treating all waste products more carefully/ so tha t dangerous chemicals-an d bacteria don’t get into our water supply.P. 471C: Look at all those dead fish, wha t do you think happened?Andy:Well, there’s a factory ou t side town that’s pumping chemicals into the river.Carla: How can they do that? Isn’t that against the law?A: Yes, it is. But a lot of companies ignore those laws.C: That’s terrible! What can we do about it?A: Well, one thing to do about it is to talk to the company’s management.C: What if that doesn’t work?A: Well, then, another way to stop them is to get a TV station to run-a story on it.C: Yes! Companies hate bad publicity. By the way, what’s the name of this company?A: It’s called Apex Industries.C: Oh no! My uncle is one of their top executives!2Carla: Wait a minute, Before we do anything, shouldn’t we make sure that we’ve got our facts straight?Andy: Absolutely. The best thing to do is to monitor the situation over the next several weeks to see what exactly is happe n ing.C: How do we do that?A: Well, we can take pictures of the river and even take water samples to see how had the situation is. We can get some friends to help.C: OK. And maybe I could talk to my uncle about it.A: Oh, no, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Not yet, anyway.C: Why not?A: I don’t think we wanna say anything to anyone until we have a clearer picture of what is going on. After we’ve moni t ored the situation for a while, then we can decide whether we need to have a meeting with a representative of the company to tell them what we’ve discovered. OK, Carla?C: OK.P. 521. LindaM: So, Linda, what h ave you been doing with yourself?L: No t much. Oh, wait! That’s no t true. I took this grea t dancing/ class course la st semester.M: Oh, yeah! Wha t kind of dancing?L: We learned African dancing an d Samba./ tap and square dancing.M: Wait……why (on earth) would you wan t to learn tap/ African dancing an d square/ Samba dancing? I t sounds exhausting. An d it’s no t like you woul d dance tha t way in the clubs.L: Oh, jus t for fun. You shoul d try taking the class. You’ll see /that-you learn more than jus t dancing. You also learn how to be more confident an d how to intera c t better with other people. M: Hmm. I think with all that hopping/ dancing aroun d I’d be too exhausted to intera c t with anyone.2. RichW: So, how did you enjoy your cooking course?R: It was great.W: Wha t kinds of things did you learn to cook?R: Well, i t was a course on vegetarian cooking.W: I didn’t know you were a vegeta rian.R: Oh, I’m not. But a lot of people are these days. So I thought it woul d be useful to know how to make some interesting dishes withou t meat /for times when-I invite friends over for dinner.W: Hmm. Well, I guess tha t makes sense.R: Oh, bu t we learned more than jus t cooking. They also taught us all kinds of useful things。
