Read the story of a single mother of three, and you'll understand what it means.She was married once, but later her husband lost his job and life became increasingly difficult. After giving birth to the last baby, her marriagecame to an end.In order to save her children from suffering, she summoned up her courage and went to ask for help.She got seventy-eight dollars a month for the four of them. After the rent, most of the rest went for food.There was no money left to get the refrigerator fixed and the milk went sour; no money for hot water, and even in winter she had to do washing in icy cold water. She had chronic anemia caused from poor diet, a bad case of worms, and needed a corrective operation, but there was no money for iron pills, or better food, or worm medicine, to say nothing of having an operation. She had no money for grannies; no money for paper handkerchiefs and her children were seen with runny noses all the time, she tried her best to use only the minimum electricity. She stayed up all night on cold night, because she had to watch the fire, for fear that one spark on the newspaper covering the walls would cause a fire and the sleeping children would die in flames.She saw no bright future. Sooner or later, the boys would end up behind the bars of their prison or turn to the freedom of alcohol or drugs and find themselves enslaved. And what awaited the daughter was, at best, a life like that of the mother.Indeed, poverty is an acid that drips on pride until all pride is worn away. Poverty is a chisel that chips on honor until honor is worn away.Unit threePage 52Increasing your language proficiencyWorking with words and expressions1.Listed in the box are some of the words you have learned in the text.

He would leap out when his father asked about him.After he went to school, they would wrestle on the floor together. Every time, his father would master him with ease, leaving him half resentful and half mirthful.In high school he was surprised to find that there was so much more of him, and he could look down on his mother. But when it came to wrestling, he was still no equal of his father.One night, he suddenly found that his father didn't look nearly as tall as he used to. He could even look his father straight in the eyes now. He challenged his father once more and this time, it was his father who said,"I give." His mother helped his father to rise, and there was baffled pain in her eyes.His father spoke of a next time, and his mother did not contradict, because the three of them knew that there would never be a next time.He ran through the kitchen door, stood on the steps and let tears burn his eyes and run down his cheeks.Unit sixPage 134Increasing your language proficiencyWorking with words and expressions1.

He had the look of vigor and good health, but he was blind, legless, and his deteriorating body was like a rotting log. His life was like a candle in the wind, about to be blown out at any moment. His body was not whole, but he was still impressive. He had been suffering physical pain beyond imagination, but he was always quiet. He always ordered scrambled eggs for breakfast but he never ate them. Instead, he would throw the breakfast plate against the wall earnestly as if it were a discus. He had no feet but he repeatedly asked the doctor to bring him a pair of shoes. The room he dwelled in was empty of all possessions----no get-well cards, flowers, slippers, none of the usualkickshaws of the sickroom. He seemed to have been cast upon a wild island. Finally, he left the world quietly, with no one beside him. Lying in his bed, his face was relaxed, grave and dignified. Upon his death, was he remembering a time when he was whole? Did he dream of the feet he used to have?Unit sevenPage 156Increasing your language proficiencyWorking with words and expressions1.Listed in the box are some of the words you have learned in the text.

However, when one goes around what used to be the World Trade Center, there is nothing to see, except the wide emptiness. Then, when the eyes have adjusted to what they are looking at, one begins to notice what is around.Suddenly there are the firefighters, the waiting ambulance on the other side of the pit, the police on every corner. Suddenly there is the enormous cross made of two rusted girders. Suddenly there is the little cemetery attached to a nearby chapel. The fence is a welter of wreaths, poems and photographs, and American flags everywhere.So, what is not there becomes visible and absence begins to assume amaterial form. So, emptiness becomes meaningful and expressive. What seems to be nothing actually says everything.Unit eightPage 178Increasing your language proficiencyWorking with words and expressions1.

There is sufficient value to be found in each variety of friendship and they can meet our different needs.Convenience friends can make our lives more convenient and special-interest friends can bring more fun to what we study and when we play. But we would not come too close or tell too much with these two types of friends.Historical friends and crossroads friends represent particular periods in our past lives. We only need to connect occasionally, and the dormant intimacy would be instantly revived. From a friendship that forms across generations the younger person gets the benefit of the other's experience while the older person gets a youthful perspective. Man-woman friendships can bring to the two parties pleasures different from friendships formed with the same sex.Of course, what attracts us most are the best of friends, who totally love and support and trust each other, bare to each other the secrets of their souls, run----no questions asked----to help each other, and tell harsh truths to each other when they must be told. Best friends needn't agree about everything and should be able to tolerate each other's point of view. Best friends will be there to comfort our sorrows and to celebrate our joys.。
