M：OK. But I hate love stories. Any films about war today? W：I'm afraid not. How about the theatre?
M：Well, most plays are badly written, but at least they are not expensive.
W：Then let's go to a concert. You like music, don't you? M：Yeah, soft music. But now you can only hear noisy music, English songs or songs that you can't understand a single word.
W：What are you going to do then?
M：Why not go to the library to borrow some books? You like reading as much as I do, don't you?
W：OK, let's do that. (Text 8)
M：What are you doing? W：I'm packing. M：Where are you going?
W：To my parents'... and I'm not coming back. M：No, darling. What's wrong? W：I don't want to say anything.
M：Oh, my goodness! You hate me, don't you?

M：Please don't go, darling. I love you so much. W：Not as much as you love your mother.
M：But you mean a lot to me...and I can't live without you. W：Really? You mean I've misunderstood you?

than you.
W：Oh, darling... (Text 9)
M：Miss Dermott, let me start by asking you this question: Do you think, within a few years, people could work at home instead of working in offices?
W：Oh, yes. It's already happening. The communication industry has made a lot of progress in the last ten years.
M：And how do these people work? I mean, what equipment do they need to have at home?
W：Well, they need a monitor, a computer, a printer, and a telephone to connect with other computers.
M：Oh, I see. So what are some advantages of working at home? W：Working at home, people don't have to spend a lot of time getting to and from their work places. The rush hours, as everyone knows, are the worst times of day to travel. Millions of people have to get up early to avoid the rush hours.
M：Ah, I see. What do you think the furture will be like for home－workers?
W：Oh, let me tell you what might happen. In the futrue a British firm in London, for example, might employ clerks in Belfast, or a Paris company could have their secretaries in Spain. Most business could be done by telephone.
(Text 10)
It's a dark and cold night. The car driver hasn't had a single passenger all day. When he goes by the railway station, he sees a young man coming out with two bags in his hands.“Aha，” thinks
the car driver. “Here is a chance to make up for the rest of this bad day.” He quickly opens the door, and asks, “Where do you want to go, sir？” “To the hotel，” the young man answers. When the car driver hears that, he feels sad. The young man will give him only three dollars because the hotel is just two blocks away from the railway station. Suddenly he has an idea. He takes the passenger by a longer route.
After a long time, the car finally arrives at the hotel. “You should pay me 15 dollars，” the car driver says to the young man. “What? 15 dollars? Don't you take me as a fool? Only last week I took a car from the railway station to this hotel and I gave him 13 dollars. I know how much the trip costs, I won't pay you one dollar more than I paid the other car driver last week.”
