I think I'd put themoney in the bank against rainy days. M: Since it's not hard-earned money, I'd like to blow it all and enjoy myself while I'myoung. Q: How is the woman going to use the money?Question 2W:Mike, you always work overtime. Is money so important to you? I think you should take some time to relax. Money can't buy happiness.M:Yes, you're right, but I'm planning to travel around the world to help those in need when I'm 40, so I have to work hard now.Q:Why does the man work so hard?Question 3M:I earn about 100 dollars a week working part time, but I need more than that.Christmas is coming.W:Well, if you work more, you'll earn more, but then you will have less free time—for spending.Q:Why does the man want to earn money?Question 4M:Hi, do you think I could borrow a couple of pounds until pay day? I'm really penniless this month.W:Sure, no problem. You helped me out last time, remember? How much do you need?Q:When will the man pay the woman back?Question 5W:Jack's so mean! He invited me to dinner tonight, but I ended up paying the bill.M:I can't agree more. We nicknamed him an "iron cock". But he would say he's the saving type.Q:What do we learn about Jack?Thomas:Nora, can you (give me a loan)?Nora:(What for)?Thomas:I can't (support) my family with my pay.

After having consumed more drink than they should, they decided to sleep it off by staying overnight in a hotel. The desk clerk charged them $30.00 for the room. Shortly afterwards the desk clerk realized that he had overcharged the three men by $5.00. He calls the bellboy over, gives him the $5.00 and explains to him that he had overcharged the three men and asked him to go up and give them the $5.00. On his way up, the bellboy thinks, "They will be happy to get a refund, so why don't I give them each $1.00? They will be happy and I will have picked up $2.00." But when he does that and gives each man $1.00, that means they only paid $9.00 each for the room, which is a total of $27.00; plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed is a total of $29.00. But they gave the desk clerk $30.00! Where did the extra $1.00 go?To solve the puzzle, you have to consider if it is a correct calculationto add "plus the $2.00 the bellboy pocketed."。

Listening InTask 1: It’s time to buy.Mike: Hey, Robert, where are you off to?Robert: I’m going to talk to a banker about a loan.Mike: You are short of money? I thought you were the saving type.Robert: There’s a time to save and a time to spend.Mike: I know all about spending. What’s the loan for? I have a few bucks I could…Robert: I’m consideri ng getting a mortgage to buy someproperty.Mike: Do you think property is a good investment? I mean, it’sa lot of money.Robert:Well, Mike, as you know, property values have been going through the roof.

He went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?”Tom turned around and replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he’d paid, but I don’t remember him paying me.”Richard said, “I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don’t have time. Can I have my change please?”1. A2.B3.D4.C5.CTask 3: Can money buy happiness?W: The professor asked us an age-old question “Can money buy really happiness?” I think many people dream of buying a big house, designer clothes and a luxury car. Obviously, the answer is yes.M: I disagree. The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil, so money can’t buy you happiness.W: Look, we spend so much time in our lives trying to make money. We must believe it is going to bring us happiness. M: most people don’t marry for money; most people don’t pursue careers simply for money. For example, there are a lot of teachers who won’t trade their job for a sales position to make more. So we vote with our feet.W: But just look at those people out there, with yachts, planes, big houses… they have all the toys, and they do look happy.I think we want those things too.M: A recent survey tells us about the jobs that make people the happiest. They aren’t the jobs that pay the most but those like teachers, social workers, firefighters… not necessarily highly- paid jobs.W: As far as I know, quite a number of people who went from rags to riches say they have finally found happiness.M: Now, listen, what about health? Can you buy good health with money? Also, having good relationships with other people, having a lot of friends, having a good marriage—these are the things that can’t be bought by money.W: Talking about health, I must point out money CAN help you keep health. Money can give you access to good health care. M: Well, if we can’t convince each other, let’s agree to disagree.1.F2.T3.F4.T5.FIV.

What do you want to buy?John:I don’t know…Some music CDs, maybe.Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don’t evenknow if you want,you won’t have any money left whenyou need it.John:But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either.

Let’s TalkStory of a MiserThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me.I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.”He made her promise with all her heart that when he dies, she would pit all the money in the casket with him. Then he died. He was laid in the casket, his wife was sitting there wearing black, and her friend was sitting next to her.When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got already to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait a minute!” She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket.Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. He friend said, “Girl,I know you weren’t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!”She said, “Look, I can’t go back on my word. I promised him that I would put all the money in the casket with him.”“You mean you really put that money in the casket with him!?”“I surely did,” said the wife. “I wrote him a check.”1.1.money2.2.all his money3.3.promise4.4.in the casket5.5.sitting6.6.next to7.7.close8.8.a box9.9.locked10.10.foolish11.11.all that money12.12.go back on her word13.13.put the money14.14.a checkVI.

Many American don’t like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use. Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card,the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest.1.D2.C3.B4.D5.ATask 3 Buying a MachineAn American manufacturer is showing his machine factory to a potential customer. At noon, when the lunch bell rings, two thousand men and women immediately stop working and leave the building.“Your workers, they’re escaping!” cries the visitor. “You’ve got to stop them.”“Don’t worry, they’ll be back,” says the American. And indeed, at exactly one 0’clock the bell rings again, and all the workers return from their break.When the tour is over, the manufacturer turns to his guest and says, “Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?”“Forget the machines,” says the visitor. “How much do you want for that bell?”1.T2.F3.F4.T5.TTask 4Can you change a twenty-dollar bill?Cashier: How can I help you, Miss?Jill: Could you change a 20 for me?Cashier: Sure.

Tom turned around and replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he

What’’s the solution to a recession, a time of little economic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn ’t it? Let ’s see if this will work by using an example. Let Let’’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let ’s also pretend each student has exactly $1.00. Since we are in a recession, let ’s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services. Then if that works, why don ’t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right? Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what ’ll happen? Since Since everyone everyone everyone has has has more more more money, money, money, the the the students students students all all all go go go shopping shopping shopping to to to spend spend spend that that that extra extra extra money. money. money. This This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation. So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another. 1.T 2.T 3.F 4.F 5.F IV
