For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you and you say," I wish I could help you but I'm short of cash fight now." In fact, you are not short of cash, but because your friend always forgets to pay you back and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, especially when telling a "white lie" that doesn't hurt people. When a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress, she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other research shows that men are more likely to tell more serious lies. They tend to make promises and then they forget them. This is the kind of lie businessmen are particularly good at. They hope to make more money from these lies in some way.It has been found that when people lie, if they sit down, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. It seems as if they were saying to themselves "I wish I were somewhere else now." It has also been observed that in some cases, liars sweat more than usual.I, Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. Why don't you lend your friend money according to the passage? ( C )2. In which way are women better liars than men? ( A )3. Why do businessmen tell lies? ( D )4.

Scientists also have observed that in some cases, liars sweat more than usual.Passage T woA Little Private T reasuryMy wife is good in every way except that she's tight-fisted. Whenever I want to have some pocket money of my own, she would reply: "What do you want money for? For gambling, for dancing or buying presents for somebody?"But to live without money was really hard. Y our old friends or schoolmates came to see you in your office, and you couldn't take them out for a decent dinner. Wasn't this very embarrassing for a big and strong man like me?To help me, my colleagues put into me the idea of a little "private treasury "made up of money I got writing for newspapers.Gradually, I put together some money. I became generous and manly. I was grateful to the little "private treasury".Again my colleagues had advice: "Why don't you try your luck on lottery tickets?" I listened to them and bought three lottery tickets. My luck wasn't bad at all. I won the first prize: 4,000 yuan in cash. When I was asked by my colleagues what I would do with this money, I said: I’ll hand it over to my wife, for family expenses." Some of them thought this was a good idea, while most shook their heads.That night my wife tossed and turned and got no sleep. The following morning she said to me, "I always thought that men could only get into trouble with spare money. Now I realize I was wrong. Y ou must have had a hard time. Please forgive me."From then on, my wife never tried to keep me from spending money, and the little "private treasury" became unnecessary.I.

PassagesPassage OneBlacks in the Revolutionary WarBy the time of the American Revolutionary War, blacks had become a large part of the American population. By the middle of the 1700's, one out of every five colonists was black. But, at first, they did not let blacks fight in the army. They did not want to take people's slaves away from them. They were afraid of giving guns to slaves. On the contrary, the British offered freedom to any slave who fought on their side. So hundreds of runaways made their way to the British forces. Seeing this, the Americans decided to take black soldiers into the army. The black slaves who fought were promised their freedom after the war. Black soldiers fought in almost every battle of the Revolution. Blacks served on sea as well as on land. By the end of the war, 5,000 black men had fought against the British.

I don't mean while you are unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary. By living in an English-speaking world, and by speaking them, hearing them, and mostly by reading them in the way everyone learns their mother tongue. I just picked them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand--but incorrectly.The 5% mislearnt of all the words we "know" will be the least frequently used words, as themore frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of these misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without ever knowing that we got them wrong.Many English teachers think that this "natural method of learning words in one's own mother tongue" can be used for second language learning. They teach their students how to play The Guessing Game. "There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across," they will say, "Y ou have to practice guessing what the word means from the context." This method of guessing in second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.And what's more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings or usages for each word.So dictionary use should be part of language learning. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible. Don't guess! look it up!I. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear1. What is the best way to learn new words? ( C )2. How many words did the speaker learn in his vocabulary in his way? ( D )3. What kind of word makes up the 5% mislearnt of all the words we "know"? ( A )4. What method do many teachers insist on using for second language learning? ( B )5. What does the speaker mean by a good dictionary? ( D )II. Listen to the passage again and answer the following questions.1. What does the speaker mean by learning new words unconsciously?(He doesn't mean while you are unconscious.) He means while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.2. How did the speaker learn his vocabulary?By living in an English-speaking world, and by speaking them, hearing them, and mostly by reading them in the way everyone learns their mother tongue.3. What does the speaker mean by saying to misunderstand?(To misunderstand does not mean not to understand.) To misunderstand is to understand-- but incorrectly.4. How do some of the misunderstandings happen according to the speaker?Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without ever knowing that we got them wrong.5. In what would the method of guessing in second language learning result?This method of guessing in second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.Passage TwoBest Y earsLast Saturday evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for some scientific discovery. I forget what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph story, said something that caught my attention. "All great discoveries," he said, "are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty." Being a little over thirty myself I wanted to disagree with him. Nobody wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I went to the public library and spent several hours looking up the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.First I looked at some of the scientific discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famousexperiment that proved that bodies of different weights fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was twenty-six. Madame Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was twenty-eight. Einstein was twenty-six when he published his world changing theory of relativity. Well, enough of that. Y et I wondered if those "best years" were true in other fields. Then how about the field of politics? Surely it took the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look when these people started their careers. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of twenty-six. Abraham Lincoln gave up the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six.But why don't best years come after thirty? After thirty, I guess, most people do not want to take risks or try new ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was ninety! Perhaps there is still hope for me.I. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. From where did the speaker get the news? (A')2. What was the news about? ( D )3. What was the speaker's attitude toward what Ralph Story announced on television? ( D )4. What did the speaker do to verify the announcer? ( B )5. What does the speaker mean by best years? ( C )I. Listen to the passage again and fill in the form in a simple way.Name Discovery or career AgeGalileo Bodies of different weights fall at Twenty-sixthe same speed.Madame Curie She got a Nobel Prize for her findings. Twenty-eightEinstein He published his world changing theory Twenty-sixof relativity.Winston Churchill He was elected to the House of Commons, Twenty-sixAbraham Lincoln He was elected to the government. Twenty-sixPassage ThreeT o Be a Good T eacherTo be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students, you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: he stands the whole time while he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his class: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't obey something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had Written.I. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear,1. What do you need to be a good teacher? ( D )2. How does a good teacher give his lesson in a classroom? ( B )3. How does a good teacher use his voice in his explanation? ( A )4. In what does an actor differ from a teacher? ( C )5. In what does a teacher differ from an actor? ( A )II. Listen to the passage again and complete the following sentences with the information you hear.1. A good teacher must be able to act what he is teaching in order to make its meaning clear.2. A good teacher walk about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help his in hisexplanation, and his face to express feelings.3. What the actor has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seemnatural on the stage.4. The teacher has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part byheart but must invent it as he goes along.5. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in astage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline.Part Four Idioms and ProverbsI.

PassagesPassage oneBaked Sweet PotatoesI was born in a rural district in Taipei. When I was very young, my mother used to buy me baked sweet potatoes whenever I accompanied her shopping in the market. When she gave me one, it was as if it was the most precious thing I had in my life. I focused all my attention on that sweet potato. Once, I was enjoying one so much that I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I got lost in the market. I tried hard to find my mother, but I couldn't. I wondered what I should do because I didn't know anybody around me. Suddenly, I got a bright idea. I ran to the sweet potato vendor, and I stood there waiting for my mother to come for me.Finally, she came. She was so surprised when she saw me next to the vendor. I told her to look for me there if I ever got lost again. My mother laughed and bought me another piece of baked sweet potato.Time has passed so fast. Y ou can't find any more sweet potato vendors on the sidewalk anymore. But every time that my mother cooks a sweet potato, it brings back my memory of that day.Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear1.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ( B )Passage TwoTemperThere was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him to hammer a nail in the fence every time he lost his temper. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all nails were gone. The father took the son by the hand and led him into the garden to the fence. He said: "Y ou've done well. Now look at the holes in the fence. It will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they hurt your friends and they leave a scar just like this one. Y ou can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say 'I'm sorry', the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friendship is a very rare jewel. Y our friends make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they have a word of praise, and they always open their hearts to you."Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hoar.1.

Then he closed the window again.The young man turned around and hurried back with his two bags.

Listen and retell it.It was a cold winter' s afternoon, Robert stopped for a moment as he crossed the bridge and looked down at the river below. There were hardly any boats on the river. Near the bridge, however, almost direct below, there was a small canoe, with a boy in it. He was not wearing many clothes, Robert noticed. He shivered and walked on.Just then he heard a cry. "Help! Help!" The cry came from the river. Robert looked down. The boy was in the water and his canoe was floating away. "Help! Help !" he called again. Robert was a good swimmer. Taking off his clothes, he jumped into the river. The cold water made him tremble all over, but in a few seconds he reached the boy, "Don't be afraid," he said and started to swim towards the fiver bank, dragging the boy with him. But at that moment he noticed a large motor boat under the bridge. There were several people on the boat, all looking in his direction. Robert decided to swim towards the boat."Give me a hand," he shouted as he got near the boat. He looked up into a row of faces. "It's funny," he thought. "They look so angry." Silently they helped the boy into the boat and wrapped him in a blanket. But they did not move to help Robert."Aren't you going to pull me out too?" Robert asked."Y ou!" said one of the men. Robert noticed that he was standing next to a large camera."Y ou! why, we were making a film and you spoiled a whole afternoon' s work! Y ou can stay in the water!"。

(D)Part FourCars are an important part of life in America. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And a poor person doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.There are three main reasons the car becomes so popular in America. First of all，the country is a large one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. The second reason why cars popular is the fact that America never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Nowadays，there is good system of air-serviceprovided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one，though. The American spirit of independence is what really makes cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus，or a train. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their time，and this is the freedom that Americans value very much.Questions:1.When do most Americans feel they are poor? (D)2.What is the second reason mentioned in the passage? (B)3.How many reasons mentioned in the passage? (B)4.What is the most important reason cars become popular in America?(B)5.What kind of public transportati on i s good in Ameri ca? (A)Part FiveAmerican men don’t cry because it is considered not characteristic of men to do so. Crying is a “weakness”characteristic of the female. Crying，in our culture，is identified is identified with childishness，with weakness and dependence. No one likes a crybaby，and we dislike crying even in children，preventing it in them as early as possible. In a land so devoted to seeking happiness as ours，crying really is rather un-American. Adults must learn not to cry in situations in which it is permissible for achild to cry. Women being the “weaker” and “dependent” sex，it is only natural tha they should cry in certain emotional situations. In women，crying is excusable. But in men，crying is a mark of weakness. “A little man，”we impress on our male children，“never cries. Only girls and crybabies do.”1.F2.T3.F4.T5.T。

It' s thefirst time I have ever had a place of my own and I am very fond of it, despite the lack of space. I had been in the flat only for a few days when a friend phoned and practically begged me to let him stay for a while. He explained he had lost his job recently but was sure he would find another one very soon. Since I thought it would be only for a short time, I said yes.More than a month has gone by since then and my friend showed no sign of moving out. Thereare only two small rooms in the fiat, plus the small bath-room and tiny kitchen. He has more or less taken over the front room. I don't like sharing the bathroom, either. In fact, I have discovered that I just don’t like other people living in my flat!A few days ago, I decided that enough was enough and that he would have to leave. I intended to tell him that I wanted the place to myself again, but somehow he persuaded me to let him stay longer. He still hasn't found a job and can't afford to rent a room of his own. And therejust doesn't seem to be anyone else he can stay with.Of course, I d like to help him as much as possible. He is, after all, a friend! But there are limits, even to friendship. I just don't know what I' 11 do if he is there much longer.I. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hoar.1. What change took place in the speaker's life?

If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. Y ou must first go where there are people. Y ou won't make friends staying home alone.Join a club or group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown. And it's human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknow n.Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. Y ou'll both feel more comfortable.Try to act self-confidenthly even if you don't feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.If you see someone you'd like to speak to, say something. Don't wait for the other person to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person. Friend-ship is based on mutual liking and "give and take". They take time and efforts to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.I. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. What is the suggested way to make friends? ( B )2. What is easy to do to make friends? ( D )3. What is it that makes us feel nervous when talking to strangers? ( A )4. How should we deal with new people according to the author? ( C )5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? ( D )II. Listen to the passage again and answer the following questions with Y es or No.1. Can you make friends if you stay home alone? ( No )2. Can you make friends if you avoid joining someone in some activity? ( No )3. Is it right to walk tall and straight, look at other people and smile while entering a roomfull of strangers? ( Y es )4. Is it fight that you start a conversation when you see someone you'd like to speak to?(Y es)5. Is it likely that people feel uncomfortable about the unknown? ( Y es )Passage ThreeRailways in BritainIn Britain railways are owned by the State. That means that everybody owns them---or perhaps that nobody owns them. In general train services in Britain are very good, especially on express inter-city lines. However, they are quite expensive unless you can get a reduction. The easiest way to get a reduction is to get a return ticket. If you buy a day-return (so that you go and come back on the same day) you can save 45 % of your fare. Other return tickets are available for travel at weekends or mid-week. If you cannot buy a return, you must buy a single. In Britain tickets (except some special reduced fares) are valid on all trains. It is not necessary to pay an extra fare to travel on an express.If you want to find out details of train journeys you can phone the information office at the station in most towns or a travel agent. They will tell you about reservations and whether it is necessary to change trains in your journey.Y ou must buy a ticket before you can go on to the platform at British stations. The ticket collector will want to check your ticket and will sell you a platform ticket if you do not want to travel but only want to say goodbye to a friend. Y ou must keep your ticket safe because it will be checked when you arrive, and probably during the journey as well by the guard. All trains in Britain have first and second class carriages; if you want to travel first class you have to pay about 50% extra for your ticket. There are smoking and non-smoking compartments or carriages on all trains, and most inter-city trains have buffet or restaurant cars.I, Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. Who owns railways in Britain? ( D )2. How are train services in Britain? ( B )3. How can people get a reduction? ( A )4. Where can you get information about reservation? ( C )5. Why do you have to keep your ticket safe during your journey? ( A )II, Listen to the passage again and answer the following questions.1. What kind of ticket makes you save 45% of your fare?A day return ticket.2. Why is it not necessary to pay an extra fare to travel on an express?Because in Britain tickets are valid on all trains.3. What do you do if you want to say a goodbye to a friend on the platform?To buy a platform ticket.4. How much do you have to pay if you want to travel first class?To pay about 50% extra for your ticket.5. On what kind of train are smoking and non-smoking compartments or carriages available?On all trains.Part Four idioms and ProverbsI. In this part, you will be presented with ten sentences.

PassagesPassage OneLiving Outside LondonMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go into their offices, factories or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and reach home later in the evening.One benefit of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to hire. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.Then, in the country one can be free from the noise and hurry of the town. Although one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night, and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likesgardens, one can spend one's spare time digging, planting, watering and doing a hundred and one other jobs which are needed in the garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of a person who has shared the secrets of nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things; for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinema and theatres, because of shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live outside London. A walk in one of the parks and a visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want.Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.1. What is meant by living outside London and going to offices, factories or schools every day bytrain, car or bus?They have to get up earlier in the morning and reach home later in the evening.2. What can you get with the same money as you spend on a small flat in London?A little house in the country with a garden of your own.3. What are benefits of living in the country?1) be free from the noise of the town;2) sleep better at night;3) enjoy the fresh, clear air of the country;4) do some gardening.4. Why do some people take no interest in country things?For them happiness lies in the town because in the town there are cinemas and theatres,shops and streets, dance halls and restaurants.5. Generally speaking, what do city people want for the country?A walk in one of the parks and a visit to the sea every summer.Passage T woEating HabitsOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us like eating sweets and ice cream better than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for us if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It's important for us to eat our meal at regular time each day. When we feel worried or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges often decided whether a man was telling truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it meant that he wasn't telling the truth. Though this seems strange and foolish, they thought it was an excellent way of finding out truth. A man who is worrying something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because he loses his appetite.Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. When is it good for us to eat sweets and ice cream? ( B )2. At what time shall we have our meal every day? ( A )3. What did the judges in England think if a man didn't tell the truth? ( C )4. What kind of person may not want to eat? ( D )5. What can we learn from the passage? ( A )Passage ThreeThe BullOnce upon a time two young men were spending some time in the country. One day, while taking a walk together, they crossed a large field. Suddenly a bull appeared and began to chasethem. They were naturally very much frightened. The men began to run, but the bull continued to chase them. Finally, one of the men climbed a tree and the other jumped into a large hole. Soon, however, the man who had jumped into the hole came out again. Immediately, the bull chased him back into the hole. Soon, the man came out of the hole again, and the bull chased him right back This went on for five or six times.Finally the man in the tree, who was now very angry, cried to his friend in the hole: "Y ou fool! Stay in that hole for a while. Otherwise, this bull will keep us here all day."As he jumped back into the hole again, the other man said: "That's all fight for you to stay, but there happens to be a bear in this hole."Listen to the passage and write T for True or F for False for each statement you hear.1. One day, two young men were taking a walk in a large field. ( T )2. When the bull appeared and began to chase them, they all jumped into a hole. ( F )3. When the man came out of the hole, the bull stopped chasing him. ( F )4. The man jumped in and out of the hole at most three times. ( F )5. The man jumped out again and again, because there was a bear in the hole. ( T )III. A Story for RetellingHere is a funny story. Listen and retell it.A Math ProblemThere was once a millionaire who loved money more than anything else in the world. He didn't know exactly how much he had. So he took on a little girl to count all his money for him.It took the little girl six days to count all the money. When she told the millionaire that he had forty- two million dollars, he was wild with joy and asked, "How much pay do you want?" He thought that because she was only a child, he could cheat her into taking a very small amount.The little girl said, "Well, I worked for six days, so I think you ought to pay me for six days Give me two pennies for the first day. Each day after that, just give me the amount you gave me the day before, multiplied by itself'.The millionaire thought that in this way he would only have to give her a very few dollars. What a foolish little girl! So he immediately had his lawyer write up a contract, fearing that she would change her mind.On the first day, the millionaire paid her two pennies, and on the second day, two pennies times two pennies, four pennies. Each day after that, he gave her the number of pennies he had given her the day before, multiplied by itself. And by the sixth day, the foolish millionaire had to give the clever little girl all his money.How is it that the little girl could have all the greedy millionaire’s money? If you’re interested in it, you may try to work out this math problem.。

( T )Part Three PassagesPassage OneLyingWhat exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say that we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you and you say," I wish I could help you but I'm short of cash fight now." In fact, you are not short of cash, but because your friend always forgets to pay you back and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, especially when telling a "white lie" that doesn't hurt people. When a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress, she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other research shows that men are more likely to tell more serious lies. They tend to make promises and then they forget them. This is the kind of lie businessmen are particularly good at. They hope to make more money from these lies in some way.It has been found that when people lie, if they sit down, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. It seems as if they were saying to themselves "I wish I were somewhere else now." It has also been observed that in some cases, liars sweat more than usual.I, Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1.

Whenever I want to have some pocket money of my own, she would reply: "What do you want money for?

I listened to them and bought three lottery tickets. My luck wasn't bad at all. I won the first prize: 4,000 yuan in cash. When I was asked by my colleagues what I would do with this money, I said: I’ll hand it over to my wife, for family expenses." Some of them thought this was a good idea, while most shook their heads.That night my wife tossed and turned and got no sleep. The following morning she said to me, "I always thought that men could only get into trouble with spare money. Now I realize I was wrong. Y ou must have had a hard time.

Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby nearby town. town. town. Mr. Mr. Mr. Stewart Stewart Stewart called called called the the the owner, owner, owner, trying trying trying to to to persuade persuade persuade him him him to to to let let let him him him be be be his his his agent. agent. Somehow he succeeded and the owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.  As As good good good things things things are are are never never never easy easy easy to to to acquire, acquire, acquire, the the the time time time for for for the the the appointment appointment appointment had had had to to to be be be changed changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house.  As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing failing to to to do do do so, so, so, had had had always always always hoped hoped hoped that that that one one one of of of his his his two two two daughters daughters daughters or or or his his his grandchildren grandchildren grandchildren could could someday become a doctor. Questions: 1. Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard? 2. How did Mr. Stewart get to know the owner of the house? 3. What problem did Mr. Stewart have? 4. What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard? Text2 What a Coincidence! (Part Two)

alue of the amount came to a little over value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!  Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.  The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois. Statements: 1. Several coincidences happened in the story. 2. The coincidences made it possible for the owner to sell his house at a good price. 3. No one actually benefited from the coincidences. 4. It can be inferred that Mr. Stewart did not have to seek extra work from then on. 5. With the extra money Mr. Stewart had earned, Andrew's dream finally came true. Part C Dad Stops for Gas, Finds Lost Son  Nueng Garcia was the son of an American serviceman stationed in Thailand in 1969. But his father went back to the States when Nueng was only three months old. When he grew up Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo, Colorado. His dream was to find his father John Garcia. Year after year, he tried in vain to search for information about the whereabouts of his father.  It was a fine day in Pueblo. There was not a cloud in the blue sky. But for him, it was just another day on the job. Suddenly he noticed the name of one customer who paid with a check. The man, who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own. Nueng raised his head from the check and looked at the man. Could this be his father?  "Are you John Garcia?" he asked.  "Yes," came the answer.  "Were you ever in the Air Force?"  "Yes."  "Were you ever in Thailand?"  "What's that to do with you?" answered the man, who became suspicious by then.  "Were you or were you not?" Nueng persisted.  "Yes."  "Did you ever have a son?"  At this truth dawned on the man. They stared at each other and realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated 27 years ago and half a world away.  John John Garcia Garcia Garcia hadn't hadn't hadn't seen seen seen his his his son son son since since since 1969. 1969. 1969. He He He lost lost lost touch touch touch with with with Nueng's Nueng's Nueng's mother mother mother when when when she she started seeing another man. He moved to Pueblo nine years ago. He said he never went to that gas station, wasn't even low on gas that day and hardly ever paid with a check. Statements: 1. Nueng's parents divorced when he was only 3 months old. 2. After moving to the U.S.A., Nueng worked at a gas station in Colorado. 3. Nueng never gave up his efforts to find his father, but John Garcia had never looked for his son. 4. One day while at work Nueng's eyes fell on the photo of a customer's driver's license, and the man in the photo looked like his father. 5. John Garcia was once in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Thailand. 6. John Garcia and his son didn't meet each other again until 1996. 7. Nueng's father said he often went to that gas station but never paid with a check. 8. It was by coincidence that John Garcia and his son were reunited after many years of separation. Part D Unexplained Parallels

John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore? Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes. John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time. Tom & Linda: Thank you. Statements: 1. Tom and Linda never argue because they both know what the other person expects. 2. Once Tom broke Article 14 and apologized to Linda by taking her out to dinner. 3. 3. If If If some some some of of of the the the rules rules rules in in in the the the marriage marriage marriage agreement agreement agreement become become become outdated, outdated, outdated, changes changes changes will will will be be be made made made to to update them. 4. It seems that both Tom and Linda are satisfied with their marriage agreement. Part C A Perfect Match  Are you looking for a good relationship with someone special? What type of person is the best person for you? Is it the person with the highest IQ? Is it the most beautiful or most handsome person? person? How How How about about about the the the richest richest richest person person person or or or the the the most most most ambitious? ambitious? ambitious? Is Is Is your your your ideal ideal ideal partner partner partner the the the most most traditional or the most modern person? Is he or she the person most like you, or most unlike you?
