M:You don’t even have your driver’s license!How can you even begin to judge me? W:Ok,that’s it.I’ve had enough.Let me out of this car!Text5W:Do you have any extra tickets to the basketball game,Eric?M:No,sorry,Gina.I sold my last one to Bobby this morning.W:Oh,okay.I don’t have any money,anyway.I was just kind of hoping you had an extra one that you didn’t need.Text6M:I don’t know what’s wrong with Randle.Every time I take him to the park,he doesn’t want to play with the other dogs.W:Well,maybe he’s just tired of something.M:But he’s always been super social.It’s not just that,though.Whenever we go for a walk,his, uh well,when he does his business,”it’s not very,uhW:What?Just spit it out!M:His poop is different than usual,ok?I know that might be gross,but I read online that it can be a sign that something is wrong.W:Why don’t you just take him to the vet?If something is wrong with him,then that’s the best way to find out.Text7W:Are you going to watch the World Series?M:No.I don’t care about that anymore.W:Why is that?I thought you were a huge baseball fan.M:I am but my team isn’t in the playoffs anymore,so I don’t have any reason to watch the games.W:But don’t you want to see who wins?You know as a fan of the game?M:Look,Judy,I don’t really want to talk about this,okay?I’m still upset that we lost,and I don’t think I’ll be able to move on until this whole thing is over.I actually can’t wait for the World Series to end!W:Oh,I had no idea that you felt that way.Sorry if I made it worse.M:It’s ok.I guess I get a little too emotional about it.It’s only because this happens to us every year.We haven’t won a championship since I was a kid!Text8M:Stacy,I need to buy a new car.I need something with good safety features and good gas mileage,but I also need it to be decent to look at.It also has to be pretty cheap. W:Well,you’ve just described the impossible!Freddie,you need to be realistic.You probably won’t be able to have all those things in one car.You can’t have everything in life,you know.M:Yeah,I figured.W:So,what’s the most important thing?M:Well,I only have twenty⁃five thousand dollars to spend.That’s my upper limit.W:Ok,well,we can basically forget about sports cars and big SUVs.But those don’t really match the other requirements,anyway.Here’s the big question:which is more important looking good or getting good gas mileage?M:Well,I don’t have a ton of extra money to spend on gas,so I guess I’ll have to go with something a bit more economical.W:Cool.You don’t even need a fancy car,if you ask me.And the good news is that less expensive cars with good gas mileage tend to be really safe.Text9W:Thank you for coming down today,Mr.Parker.Would you like some coffee?M:No,thank you.W:Mr.Parker,please tell us what you saw on the night of February18th.M:Well,I was walking home from work that night.I usually drive to work,but my car was in the shop that day.Anyway,I saw this little old lady cross the street,and this guy came out of nowhere and grabbed her purse.W:Did he have a gun,Mr.Parker?M:It was dark,but I’m sure I didn’t see any weapons.He did push her down to the ground, though.She screamed,and the man ran away.W:Did you see what he was wearing?M:He had on a brown leather jacket and a black baseball hat.He was wearing blue jeans and white shoes.W:Do you remember how tall he was?What about his build?M:He seemed kind of normal,I suppose...W:Could you be more specific,Mr.Parker?M:I’m sorry.I’m really not good at guessing those kind of things.A little shorter than me,and a little heavier.I’m six feet tall and I weigh190pounds.W:That’s very helpful,Mr.Parker.Thank you.Text10Good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen.May I have your attention,please?This is your captain speaking,and I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to United Airlines.Our flight time to Shanghai will be eleven hours and ten minutes,so we should be arriving fifteen minutes ahead of schedule.We are expecting some turbulence up ahead in about five minutes,so I’m going to ask you to keep your seat belts fastened.Once we’re through the rough patch,I’ll turn off the seat belt sign,and you can move around the cabin.You should keep your seatbelt on whenever you’re seated,however,and as conditions can change quickly.In about thirty minutes, our flight attendants will be coming around with drinks for you,followed by our evening meal.If you want to see a list of movies we’re showing during the flight,please refer to the magazine in the seat pocket in front of you.Let me remind you that there is absolutely no smoking on this plane anywhere.Failure to follow this rule could land you a big fine,or even in jail,so don’t risk it!
