原文：Before the wedding, the groom went up to the minister with an unusual offer. "Look, I'll give you
$$100 if you'll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I'm expected to promise to 'love,
respect and obey her,' 'giving up all others,' and 'be true to her forever,' I'd be happy if you'd
just leave that part out." He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The
wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they make vows
to each other. When it was time for the groom's vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and
said, "Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in
bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even
look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?" The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself,
he said in a low voice, "Yes, I will." Then the groom whispered to the minister, "I thought we had a
deal." The minister put the $$100 into his hand and whispered back, "She made me a much better offer."
2-2.通俗版(私人版)：Because the bride gave more money to the minister.
参考答案：Because the bride made him an offer much better than 100 dollars.

Adult dating

Blind dating never
原文：Before marriage, younger Americans date each other, that is, they often go out together.
Casual dating usually begins in the early teens, and in the late teens a pattern of steady
dating develops. There is a great possibility that one goes to a dance with one person, to a
football game with another, and to a picnic with a third. Sometimes two couples go out together.
This is known a
s "double dating." Group dating is also popular among young people. Large groups
of boys and girls may go around together. Young people may go out together for a long time, which
is, in effect, a public statement of their intention to marry. Men and women go out together a
great deal, especially those in cities. This is "adult dating". They ski together, dine together,
either at restaurants or in each other's homes. The American dating system is a rather casual one.
Often young Americans who hardly know each other go out on dates. It is also acceptable for them
to arrange a "blind date", that is, a date between two young people who have not met before.

Task 1: A Birthday Present
Mary: David, how did your mom like the dog you gave her for a birthday gift?
David: Oh, Mary, she was delighted. It licked her hand and wagged its tail and she was hooked.
Mary: What did she call it?
David: She’s calling it “Brian”, after a friend of hers.
Mary: Your mom always did have a sense of humor. I read somewhere that dogs can become very close to their owners.
David: I’ve heard that. I saw an interview on TV with a man who had epileptic attacks, and his dog would warn him before he would have an attack.
Mary: Really? I wonder how they can do that1
David: It ahs something to do with the dog’s sense of smell. It’s very keen.
Mary: Do you think Brian will be able to foretell when your mom is going to roast a chicken?
After David gave his mom a dog as a birthday present, she was very pleased, for the dog licked her hand and wagged its tail. She called it Brian after one of her friends. Mary read an article which says that dogs can be faithful to their owners/masters. David agreed, for he saw a TV interview which introduced a dog that could warn its master of an epileptic attack. He explained that this ability of the dog’s has something to do with its keen sense of smell. Jokingly, Mary said she wounded whether the dog Brian can foretell/predict when David’s mom is going to roast a chicken.
Task 2: 100 Percent Polar Bear
One afternoon in the Arctic, a father polar bear and his son polar bear were sitting in the snow. The son turned to his father and asked, “Dad, am I 100 percent polar bear?” “Of course, son, you’re 100 percent polar bear.”
A few minutes passed, and the bear turned to his father again and said, “Dad, tell me the truth. I can take it. Am I 100 percent polar bear? No brown bear or panda bear?” “Son, I’m 100 percent polar bear and your mother is 100 percent polar bear, so you’re certainly 100 percent polar bear.”
A few minutes passed, and the son polar bear again turned to his father and asked, “Dad, don’t worry. But it’ll hurt my feelings if it’s not true. I really need
to know…am I really 100 percent polar bear?”
Somewhat angered by this continued questioning, the father polar bear yelled at his son, “Why on earth do you keep asking is you’re 100 percent polar bear?”
“Because I’m freezing to death out here!”

Task 3: An Introduction to Advertising
“Are you ready to go to work?” a woman asks her dog Sydney. The dog was her tail. Then she starts sniffing around inside the house. Sydney is hunting for mold. When she sits down, that means she smells mold nearby. Usually mold is found within three or four feet. A boy who lives in this house has epileptic attacks. It could be from mold. His mother wanted to find the mold. She tried other ways to find it, but they didn’t work. She said she trusted the dog more than the other ways. Workers found mold near where Sydney sat. Nobody had thought to look for mold there before. Now it can be cleaned out and the boy will feel much better.
Sydney is very special. Only about ten animals in the U.S. can do this. She spent hundreds of hours with a police dog trainer in Florida to learn how. In the U.S., people have used dogs to find drugs and bombs for a long time, but dogs that find mold are something new.
People in Europe have used mold-sniffing dogs for many years. Dogs are cheaper to use than human trackers and can find exactly where the mold is. They also do it quickly and for less than %500. Other methods may cost thousands of dollars and take many weeks.

Task 2: How is fashion decided?
Fashion designers design and make fashionable clothes for men and women. They deign trends and create new styles. Paris has been the traditional center of world fashion, though recently British designers have had great influence in setting new styles, and so have certain designers in the United States and Italy. French designers guard the secrets of their new designs until their collections are shown to the public. Then pictures of the styles are published in newspapers and magazines all over the world. People from many countries travel to Paris to buy the clothes and copy the newest ideas. In January they go to see the spring clothes; and in July, to see the autumn designs. Many dress manufacturers from other countries buy the original clothes of the famous French designers. They then take them back to their own sewing rooms, where the clothes are copied and made up in great numbers. That’s why you may be able to buy in your town the clothing that is in the latest style without paying a very high price for it. Other manufacturers use the Paris styles simply as a starting point for their own ideas. Still others may adapt only a part of the French design into their own styles.

Task 3: Dreaming of Being a Fashion Model
Top fashion models travel all over the world, earn huge salaries and live exciting lives. If you want to be a model, you should know the basic rules.

The minimum height is about 5’8”, and the average weight is 108-125 pounds. A few other important things for a fashion model are clear skin, healthy hair, straight teeth, and a well-shaped body.

John: Do you really think people can wear that stuff and walk around the streets?

V. Let’s Talk
The Miniskirt
Mary Quant was a famous dress designer in the 1960s. Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt. During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could do more in life than be wives and mothers. Clothes became a weapon in the battle between generations. Anything different and daring was soon popular. During this period miniskirts attracted the world’s attention. It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short shirts that displayed their legs. Ms. Quant said that at her fashion shop, young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts. “If I didn’t make them short enough, the gir
ls that had wonderful legs would take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves.” She said. Eventually, Ms. Quant’s skirts, which arrived in the United States in the mid-60’s, were reduced to about five inches. In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals. Members of the older generation believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts. But in Ms. Quant’s opinion, short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose would make the girl look childlike. Lately, feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of women’s liberation, as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother.

Task 1: Paying for the New Clothes
Daughter: Mom, I need some new clothes. Everything I have is out of date. The new semester will be starting soon—can we go shopping?
Mother: You have a closet full of clothes that are still in very good condition. Your father and I already have to pay you university tuition…and there’re the books too.
Daughter: But everyone else will be wearing the latest Levis. And I will look stupid wearing the same old skirts I wore in high school. They are so long. People will think I came form the middle ages.
Mother: But…
Daughter: Maybe I could get a part-time job to help pay for the new clothes.
Mother: No, you need to study. But university is a new experience…maybe we can look for something not too expensive.
Daughter: Wonderful, at least we can have a look.
The daughter wants to buy new clothes, but the mother disagrees, saying she still has a lot of clothes in good condition and the parents have to pay for the university tuition. The daughter argues that she needs clothes in fashion, so as not to look as if she had come form the middle ages. The daughter then suggests getting a part-time job to cover the expenses. Not wanting to affect the daughter’s studies, the mother finally agrees to buy new clothes.
Task 2: A Model’s Description of Her Work
Before the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space. A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze. I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.
At 8:30p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. You could hear the talking—fashion shows are not theatre, and people don’t
keep quiet. Journalists discuss what to write about; buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes. And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses, as a model, you are just an advertisement for the designer. So you walk through conversations, unable to stop or react. You are not a creative human being, just a smiling doll.

Robert: Well, Mike, as you know, property values have been going through the roof. If I had bought an apartment two years ago, its value would have gone up by 30 percent today.
Mike: And from what I know, interest rates are low now.
Robert: Exactly. Sounds like a good time to buy.

Task 2: Can I have my change please?
Tom was down on his luck and felt he needed a few drinks. Hw 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 havemy change please?”

Task 3: Why not just print money?
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’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 everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. 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.

IV. Speaking Out
Model 1 I want to blow it all.
John: Hey, Se-Jin, do you want to come shopping with me? My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.
Se-Jin: That sounds just like you, John! 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 even know if you want, you won’t have any money left when you need it.
John: But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either. Besides, I need some new CDs.
Se-Jin: You also need a financial advisor!
Now Your Turn
A: Hey, do you want to come shopping with me? I just got some money from my part-time job, and I want to get rid of it right away.
B: That’s your style. What do you want to buy?
A: I don’t know…some fashionable clothes, maybe.
B: If you waste all your money on things you don’t even know if you want, you’ll be out of money completely when you need it.
A: But if I just hold on to my money…that doesn’t make much sense either. I really need some new clothes. What’s the point of saving lots of money without fun?
B: As I see it, you need a person to look after your money.
Model 2 Can money buy everything?
Peter: I’m trying to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I’ll be really happy.
Jane: Do you really think so? I’m not so sure.
Peter: Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’d be able to have anything I want.
Jane: Well, there are plenty of people who have a lot of money but aren’t happy. What do you say to that?
Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.
Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?
Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences.
Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?
Peter: Maybe there’s something in what you said.
Now Your Turn
A: I really hope I can make a fortune. If I had a lot of money, I’d be as happy as a king.
B: Do you really believe so? I have my doubts about it.
A: Of course, why wouldn’t I? If I were a millionaire, there’s nothing I couldn’t buy.
B: Well, can you but health? Can you but true friendship?
B: Maybe not. But I can but a big house and car, and make my life more comfortable.
A: Maybe you have a point there. Money can bring material comforts. But don’t forget, there are also divorces and suicides among wealthy people.
B: Well, there is some truth in what you said. Money cannot but real happiness.
Model 3 I wonder if you could give me a loan.
John: Hey, Se-Jin, I was just on my way to find you.
Se-Jin: What’s up, John?
John: Se-Jin, I’
m kind of broke, and you usually have a bundle tucked away. I wonder if you could give me a loan.
Se-Jin: Dream on! I’m hard up myself.
John: You see, I want to buy some new stereo equipment, and I’m just about a hundred short.
Se-Jin: Why not save up for it?
John: The stores have all stuff on a huge sales promotion right now. I could save at least 30 percent!
S-Jin: John, I’d lend you money if you were in a jam. But a new stereo isn’t an emergency.
John: Then I’m afraid I have to find someone who is more easy-going.
Now Your Turn
A: Hi, I was trying to catch up with you.
B: What happened?
A: Money had burned a hole in my pocket. You usually have some savings. I wonder if you can lend me some money?
B: You’re daydreaming. I’m short of money myself.
A: Look, I want to buy a digital camera, and I’m only short of 150 bucks.
B: Why not save towards it?
A: The camera is on sale right now. This can save me almost 25 percent.
B: Well, I’d lend you the money if you were in real redouble. But a new camera isn’t urgent.
A: Then I’m afraid I’ll have to try someone who’s more generous.
V. Let’s Talk
Story of a Miser
There 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, “Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I promise 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.”

Susan: Buy you’re always so careful with your money.
Robert: Yeah, I guess so, but I like to help when someone’s in need.
Susan: I just wonder w

Robert: It’s just not that simple, Susan. Some people have a hard time of it in life.

Task 2: Buying a Machine
An 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, an exactly one 0’clock the bell rings again, and all the workers return from their break.
When the tour is over, the manufacturer turn s 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?”

Task 3: An Introduction to Credit Cards
Credit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and service without using cash. 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 on the amount that you do not pay.

were clean. A logical explanation for this contradiction is that Blake went inside toward the end of his

when she went to get her coat, it was right on top of the crowded coat rack. So, probably, in the middle of
the party, Julie went to the hall, put on her coat, took the vase, rushed outside, hid the vase somewhere
before she came back. She put her coat on the rack -- on top of the rack this time.

A policeman stops a driver and says to the driver, "Sir, you were speeding. Can I see your license, please?"
The driver replies, "I don't have one."
"You don't have one?"
The driver answers, "I lost it for drunk driving."
The policeman is surprised. "I see. Will you show me your vehicle registration papers, please?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"he policeman asks, "Why not?"
"I stole this car."
The officer says, "S

The driver answers, "Yes, and I killed the owner."
The officer is shocked. "You did what?"
"She's in the trunk if you want to see."
The officer is horrified and calls for backup. Within minutes, five police cars show up, surrounding
the car. A police chief cautiously approaches the car, asking, "Sir, could you open the trunk of your
car, please?"
The driver opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
The chief says, "Is this your car, sir?"
The driver says "Yes," and hands over the registration papers.
The officer is quite surprised. "One of my officers says you don't have a driving license."
The driver quickly produces his license. The chief examines it and finds nothing wrong. He looks puzzled.
"Thank you, sir. One of my officers told me you didn't have a license, stole this car, and murdered the
owner."
The man replies, "I bet the lying bastard told you I was speeding, too!"

原文：I'm Helen. Well, it happened a few years ago. I was living in a house with my parents.
One evening I had to prepare myself for an examination at school. I was working in the basement
at my table when my parents went to the city to go shopping. Suddenly, I heard steps on the floor
above me. I knew there was actually nobody in the house besides me. What could I do? I was terribly
frightened because I knew that it must be a burglar. We had the windows open to a
ir the room, so it
must be a burglar. What could I do?
I remembered that I had a toy gun in my cupboard, so I decided to take the toy gun and go upstairs.
Well, I took the toy gun, went out of my room, and shouted as if there was another person, "George,
take the dog and go outside." On my way upstairs, I turned on lights. The burglar must have heard me,
and he rushed out of the window the way he came in.
Well, I was relieved, and then I tried to phone my parents, but I was so terribly frightened that I
just wasn't able to dial the number.
