Sally: an animal doctor

What’s the

worst thing that’s ever happened in your job?

Probably the dog that bit me. It wasn’t a big one - I don’t mind the

big ones. The small ones are the worst. It gave me a very nasty bite.

Have you ever done any other jobs?

Yes, I did different kinds of jobs when I was a student. One summer

I did fruit-picking in Spain.

What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?

In order to improve my English, I worked for a rich family in New York. I never had a day off and I

had to do everything – cooking, cleaning, shopping- and look after their horrible children. I left after

two weeks and managed to get a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.

Leo: an actor

What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in your

job?

So many bad things have happened-but I think my worst

moment was when I read my first bad review in the

newspaper. They wrote terrible things about me, and I was

so upset. After that I didn’t read my reviews any more.

Have you ever done any other jobs?

Oh yes, it’s hard to make a living as an actor. So I’ve done lots of part-time jobs over the years. For

example, I’ve worked in a shop, sold ice cream at the beach and handed out publicity flyers in the

street.

What’s the worst job you’ve ever done?

The worst job I’ve ever done was at an egg-packing factory. Working conditions are terrible-you

stand for hours at the end of a belt, putting eggs into boxes. You can’t have a break, and if you want

to go to the toilet, you have to ask for permission. And worst of all, the smell was terrible- I’ve

never eaten an egg since then.

Billy's favorite color is orange. But he can't see what orange looks like. Billy is blind.

A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes weren't quite as big as a normal

baby's.“Billy would never be able to see,”the doctor told his mother. After that Billy's mother began

talking to him, describing things she saw. She told him what she was cooking, or what she saw

outside the window. She described everything to him.

Billy does not only depend on his mother's descriptions to learn about the world around him.

He sees with his ears and his hands, too. He has perfect hearing. When people make phone calls, he

There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain, although prices are clearly

shown on the goods. There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepers expect

you to and will be surprised if you accept their prices immediately. We know that the prices

in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley, but we also realize that to

keep a store like

Robinson's is by no means cheap. Besides, in such places we shop in air-condition (空调)

comfort. For all these, we pay a little extra.

It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslo-

vakian glass butter-dish from Robinson's for a little under two dollars. I then went on

to Change Alley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape, design and size, in

Finding true love can be prey tough for a lot of people, but a lady from a fairly well-known San

Francisco advertising agency seems to think money helps. She is offering $10,000 to any of her

friends who can introduce her to her Mr. Right. She wants to find her future husband through this

way.

The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling

book named Lean In. It was 11 p.m. on a Sunday night and she realized this was the second self-help book she had read in the month. She was still single. Things were not looking fine, but there

was hope for her still. If the book had taught her anything, it was that she needed to take a more

positive role in finding love. After all, if she wanted to get a better job, she wouldn't just sit

Passage 1

There are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to

explain the American English term OK．We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．

The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had

difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had

his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would write“all correct”on it．The

problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．

The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New

York．Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old

Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the Community

Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism.

Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they

have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive

industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show

how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the

price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’

The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass

markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so
