What makes him unusual is that he has no money. He says the average millionaire never uses money and always gets other people to pay for taxis or drinks. This is because he is so used to thinking in millions that small amounts of money are not worth thinking about. But this does not mean he has no worries. On the contrary, the average millionaire worries constantly about his businesses. His great wealth also makes it difficult for him to be happy and comfortable with other people. Are they friendly because they like him? Or do they pretend to like him because they want his money? John Smith says he feels very sorry for millionaires, who, instead of being masters of their wealth, are slaves of their millions. In one way, however, John Smith always behaves exactly like a millionaire. He never has any money and generally manages to persuade someone else to pay for his drinks. But unlike other very rich men, he gives back good value for money. He is full of jokes and fun. An evening spent with him is not cheap because he is usually very thirsty, but he always makes people happy. He does not give much thought for tomorrow. He is the happiest man I have ever met. Whenever I meet him, he tells me, “In money I am not rich, but in peace of mind I am a millionaire.” And then the world’s richest, penniless man usually adds, with a smile, “Do you have time for another drink?” How can I refuse?Listening IIIExercise 1 1)D 2)C 3)B 4)D 5)AExercise 21)shivering 2)desire 3)check 4)repay 5)invitation 6)performScripts:For reasons long forgotten, a 14-year-old girl in Cleveland got so angry with her parent that she ran away to New York City. Cold and hungry, she was shivering on a street corner when a taxi pulled up. As some party-goers got out, a man in the group notice the girl and, asking if she needed help, insisted that she joined them for dinner in a nearby restaurant.After hearing her story, the man took her to the train station and bought her a ticket back to Cleveland. “Whatever you desire,” he told her, “if you want it enough, you can make it happen.” Then he gave her $20 and his address and telephone number. If she ever needed anything, she was to call him.She returned to her family, but could not find the paper with his name and phone number. Twenty-five years later, she found the lost paper in a diary. Ralph Burke received a letter and a check for $300. The woman asked that he accept it with the love and spirit in which it was sent. The idea, she said, wasn’t to repay a “kindness that has no price”; rather, sh e hoped he would come to meet her family. Accepting the invitation, Ralph was welcomed like a long-lost uncle.Today he insists that one should perform those “simple acts of kindness” whenever one can. “Sometime, some way,” Ralph says, “they always come back to you.”Listening IVExercise 1 1)C 2)B 3)B 4)A 5)BExercise 21)He should find a cheaper apartment outside of the downtown area.2)Basketball.3)He would feel ashamed.4)Fifty dollars including her financial consulting fees.Scripts:Gilbert:Sophia, could I borrow a few bucks?

Why not find a cheaper one somewhere outside of the downtown area?Gilbert: OK.Sophia: How much money do you spend on food a month?Gilbert:Around $600. I go out to eat at least four times a week, so those expenses add up. I just don’t enjoy eating alone, and I don’t have a knack for cooking like you do.Sophia: Perhaps you ought to buy some microwaveable meals you could prepare at home.Gilbert: I guess I could.Sophia: And entertainment?Gilbert: I spend a few dollars here and there on basketball and movie tickets, a concert or two, and dance lessons.Sophia:Just a “few” dollars?Gilbert: About $450 or so.Sophia:Or so? No wonder you’re having money problems. And what about transportation?Gilbert: Oh, I go to work every day in my new sports car, and my monthly payments are only $480.Sophia:No, I’ve heard enough.

Though I tried to make him change his mind, I failed completely.“You should reconsider your decision,” I said. “You have already spent five years in the bank and you could have a wo nderful career. You might become a bank manager by the time you’re 35.”“I know,” Henry answered. “I’ve got no complaints with the bank. It’s a pleasant job in pleasant surroundings and we keep civilized hours. The bank manager told me that my prospects we re excellent.”“Then why do you want to leave?” I exclaimed.“It’s the money,” Henry said.“But you are getting a good salary,” I answered.“I don’t mean that,” Henry said. “What do I do at the bank? Well, at the moment all I do is to count money. I find it very depressing.”“What’s depressing about counting money?” I asked, unable to follow the logic of Henry’s argument.“You don’t understand,” Henry answered. “I enjoy counting my own money, but I hate counting other people’s!”Listening IIIExercise 1 1)50 2)85 3)$175,000 4)$3,000 5)$200,000Exercise 2 1)C 2)B 3)A 4)CScripts:For a long time, Albert Smith had the reputation as a miser. But yesterday, people found they had wronged him.Mr. Smith was known by other residents as the meanest man in the village. He was a farmer who also owned a building business, and made money on the stock market. A fellow villager, who had known him for more than 50 years, said, “He never spent money on himself. He never bought a new suit and he even mended his sho es with sticky tape rather than buy a new pair.”A woman villager added, “He was the meanest man I ever knew. He got the greatest pleasure from doing his account books. He worked on them for hours. We thought he was planning to take his money with him.”Mr. Smith died in October at the age of 85, and yesterday his will became known. He left $175,000 for the building of houses for his former employees, and $3,000 for a new village bus shelter. The rest of his estate, more than $200,000, went to charity.Listening IVExercise 1 1)C 2)B 3)A 4)D 5)AExercise 2 1)two blocks 2)30 3)sick; hungry 4)25Scripts:Narrator:It’s a dark, cold, and rainy night.

Many of them do this during a gap year between finishing school and starting in higher education. Volunteers learn to solve problems, work together as a team and develop their personalities. Communities in need get help they couldn't afford to pay for. In Britain, one of the main agencies for voluntary work is Raleigh International. It arranges for thousands of people, aged between 17 and 25, to help out in their own country or abroad.This group of 100 people has just arrived at the base camp in Costa Rica. In the next ten weeks, they are taking part in three different projects. One of the projects is environmental, one community-based and one an adventure project. But first, they have training for the conditions they will encounter. For the environmental project at Curu, the volunteers are going to help to build an artificial reef from recycled materials. This forms a protective environment for the fish to breed and feed. It helps the local economy of commercial fishing and protects the natural reefs from over-fishing and destruction. The community project is in one of the poorest rural areas in the world. In the village of El Porvenir, volunteers are going to make bricks.They're going to help to build a storehouse for the important sesame crop. If they have more storage, the villagers will be able to make more money from selling sesame. Volunteers also take part in a survival activity. Tomorrow, this group is trekking to the summit of Costa Rica's highest mountain, Mount Chirripo. At the end of the ten weeks, the volunteers are proud that their efforts have helped to improve the lives of the people and the environment of Costa Rica and Nicaragua.Unit 8-Listening inNews reportA survey of more than 14,000 UK residents has revealed that being an author is the most desired job in Britain. Sixty per cent of adults would like to write for a living, followed by 54 per cent who want to be a librarian and 51 per cent who want to be an academic.The survey shows that people prefer literary jobs to jobs in medicine, film and investment banking, which may be surprising to some since literary jobs often do not pay as well as other professions. The average salary for professional authors in Britain is ￡11,000, which is less than the minimum incom e. Librarians make between ￡19,500 and ￡29,500 annually, depending on the type of library one works in. However, it’s not a secure job because the government is planning to close more than 10 per cent of British libraries, which means many librarian jobs will be cut. Academics can earn more, depending on their experience and level of education.1.What is the most desired job in Britain2.What do we learn about literary jobs in Britain from the news reportPassage 1Speaker 1 So how's it all goingSpeaker 2 Well, second year exams are in two weeks, so it's all go at the moment.Speaker 1 It's notgoing to ease up! So what can I do for youSpeaker2 Well, next year's my final year and I need to think seriously about my career.Speaker 1 I would agree with you there. Let's havea look atyour file. You're reading English, you're getting good grades,you got a merit in your first year exams and you're on trackfor a 2:1 according to your tutor. Have you any idea whatyou'd like to doSpeaker 2 I'm very drawn to publishing. I read a lot ofnovels and I'm quite a good critic.Speaker 1That's a good start. I'm guessing you'd like to be aliterary editorSpeaker 2 That's right.Speaker 1Well, I should tell you that literary editing is a hardprofession to get into and it doesn't pay very well, unlessyou're at the top. You could think a bit more broadly than justliterature. For example, there's educational publishing,professional publishing and there's also specialist publishing,such as sports.Speaker 2 I'm not very sporty.Speaker 1 Well, I understand sport may not be your thingbut... you get the idea.Speaker 2 Yes, I do. So how do I startSpeaker 1 First of all, you need a good degree but even before that I would contact publishers and see if they'll offer you work experience. You won't get paid, of course, but it's good for your CV and you'll learn something about the business.Speaker 2 Right. How do I find out who to write to Speaker 1All the publishers are listed in the Publisher's Yearbook. There's a copy in the library in the careers section, so you can use that for a start. Check the job adverts in the newspapers and maybe look at the specialist publishing trade journal, the Bookseller. That has job ads as well.Speaker 2 Thank you.Speaker 1 The other thing you might do is check the Internet - sometimes, the publishers' websites offer internships or job experience opportunities for new graduates.Speaker 2 I'll do that.Speaker 1One other thing. Graduates studying Englishalways want to be an editor, they're quite romantic about it,but there are other departments - marketing, sales, and theproduction side. Don't dismiss those.Speaker2 Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful.But it'sliterary editing that I want to do.Speaker 1 Well, I wish you the best. Let me know how youget on. And good luck with your exams.Passage 2Harry So how was your first day of teaching, Lucy Lucy It was all right - wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be.Harry Well done!Lucy Yes, I was frightened I'd go completely blank but it was OK.

I decided to start my own business.M: What kind of business?W: We provide technology consulting services for small- to medium-sized companies. M: Good for you. Where did you raise your money?W: At first, I considered becoming partners with one or two of my co-workers. But, eventually I raised the capital by taking on a silent partner, my uncle. He has a lot of investment capital but doesn’t want to be involved in the day-to-day operations ofa business now that he’s retired.M: How are you able to cut down on expenses?W: I make it a home-based business. I converted my garage into an office where I and my employees can work. Since most of the work will be done on site at my client’s office, I don’t need a lot of office space.M: Are you nervous about quitting your job to start your own business?W: It’s a big risk but I am looking forward to the challenge.

Have you ever considered appointing us as your sole agent in Australia?W: It all depends on what you can do.M: How about an annual sale of 40,000 sets of kite?W: I think it is rather conservative. After all you sold around 40,000 sets there last year. M: That’s the result of our hard work. Well, what annual quantity would you suggest for the new agreement then?W: 50,000 sets.M: No, no. That’s too big a number to be acceptable. Let’s put it at 45,000 sets. And we’ll do our best to sell more, of course. We wish to add another clause: For every 500 sets sold in excess of the quota, we’ll get 1% more in commission for our efforts. W: All right, let’s fix it at 45,000 sets then. And for every additional 200 sets sold, we’ll give you 1% higher commission.M: I suppose all the other terms remain unchanged.W: Yes.

This decision can be made easier by preparing a “for”and “against”list. Some of the reasons for a partnership are:First of all, there is ___safety in numbers___. You have two heads instead of one to discuss issues and make decisions. Secondly, two can accomplish more than twice as much as one. If one fails, the other pulls him up. One standing alone can be __attacked and defeated__, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three is even better, for a disagreement can be settled by a vote. Thirdly, you will not need to be in the office at all times. You will have someone else who will be there to __share the load__ and permit you to take vacations or have sick time.While some of the arguments against having a partner are: You will have to share the rewards if the business is successful, and you will __lose total control__ over the business, particularly if you and your partner have difficulty in making decisions, and also a partner can be a disaster if his or her judgment is not good.A good partnership will require the partners to have some characteristics in common.
