他该怎么办呢？Magician at Stretching a Dollar Russell Baker 1RT That December, with Christmas approaching, she was out at work and Doris was in the kitchen when I let myself into her bedroom one afternoon in search of a safety pin. Since her bedroom opened onto a community hallway, she kept the door locked, but needing the pin, I took the key from its hiding place, unlocked the door and stepped in. Standing against the wall was a big, black bicycle with balloon tires. I recognized it instantly. It was the same second-hand bike I'd been admiring in a Baltimore Street shop window. I'd even asked about the price. It was a shock. Something like $15. Somehow my mother had scraped together enough for a down payment and meant to surprise me with the bicycle on Christmas morning.那年的十二月，圣诞节临近了。

The South of England became the most popular place for language schools.Usually, the towns with language schools welcome the students. Many language schools are only open in the summer, and all of them find that the summer months are the most popular. Some of Britain's language schools are very good indeed, but some are very bad!

I don’t see how you could stand to paint the same thing as everyone else did. Art should be individual.”“It is individual,” Lisa had answered. “You’ll see.”So Sheila had come to the show. As she walked into the gallery, she saw her friend waiting. “Hi, Lisa!” Sheila called, “Here I am. Bring on the fruit!”Lisa laughed and led Sheila into a large room. The first thing to catch Sheila’s eye was not a painting, but a huge color photograph of the orange and grapes that the art students had painted. It was hanging high on a wall above the paintings.The first painting that Sheila examined was a complete surprise to her. The artist had painted a shapeless mass of color for the fruit but had mixed the colors very well, making them quite pleasing to the eye.

Listening SkillsListening for Rents or Charges1.M: Look at this ad! “One bedroom apartment, with kitchen and bathroom.” It’s close to ourschool, and the price is only $250 a month.W: But I want an apartment at least $50 cheaper.Q: What is the highest rent the woman is willing to pay?B) $200.2.M: Laura, I really hate to ask this, but I think I’m going to be five days late with this month’srent. Do you think you could help me out?W: I’m afraid I can’t. It’s $350! I haven’t much money. I have to save hard to pay my own rent;and it’s almost twice as high as yours.Q: How much is the man’s monthly rent？A)$350.3.M: Okay, Mrs. Smith, I’m all packed and ready to move out. There’s just the matter of the$500 damage deposit and I’ll be off.W: Well, Rob, there’s also the matter of some cigarette burns on the carpet and a hole in one of the walls. Those damages will cost $100 to repair.Q: How much is the landlady willing to give back to the man?B)$400.4.M1: Frank, we need to talk about this month’s utility bill. It’s $220, and I’ve give you half theamount. Why are you asking for $50 morre?W2: Don’t you think you should pay a little bit more than that? You have an extra heater in your bedroom.

But I changed my idea when I learned those noisy girls will move out next term.Q: What is the rent for the girl’s dorm?B)$400.III. Listening InTask 1:Living with RoommatesLiving with roommates in college dorms, one is likely to have problems as well as success.Some students report more unhappy relationships with their roommates than they do the opposite. One reason for this is that it’s human nature to pick out a person’s negative aspects more easily than to realize his or her positive ones. Living in a college dorm, you will certainly se both the strong points and shortcomings of your roommates. But you’ll be more likely to remember those unhappy moments between you and talk about them. You may often tend to tell war stories about someone who spilled their breakfast all over you, but seldom will you talk about the pleasant conversation you had with someone over breakfast. This selective memory does you no good at all! Therefore, if you want to enjoy better relationships with your roommates, you must work hard to view them as people and make yourself fully aware that they’re going to have some faults—and so are you!1.C2.A3.B4.D5.BTask 2:Interviewing a Rental AgentM: Hi. Are you Jane from the rental agency?W: Yes. Nice to meet you. I take it you’re Tim.M: Yeah. Well, I just started to look into moving off campus. It seems that all the good places are going fast.W: That’s right; you gotta be quick. Let me tell you a little about this apartment. It’s a one bedroom, one living room apartment, with a bathroom and a kitchen. The furnishings are all new. There are hardwood floors, these large windows in the front, and it tends to be a quiet neighborhood.M: And how about the transportation?W: Well, from the bus stop down the block you can always catch buses onto campus, or into the city.M: Ok. How about the rent?W: The rent is $300 per month.M: Is there a security deposit?W: Yes. You must first pay the security deposit, which is one month’s rent, and the last month’s rent. Then, normal monthly payment begins.M: And, would mind if I have a roommate?W: Of course not! Whatever you like.M: Well, the place looks good. I’ll definitely be in touch.W: Ok. Here’s my business card. Give me a call if you have any questions.M: Will do.1.He intends to move off campus.2.The apartment consists of a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. It is equippedwith hardwood floors and new furnishings, and is located in a quiet neighborhood.3.From the bus stop down the block people can always catch buses onto campus, or into thecity.4.It is $300 per month.5.He has to first pay the security deposit, which is one month’s rent, and the last month’s rent.Task 3: Off-campus ApartmentsIn many colleges and universities, the rapid increase in the number of resident students has made on-campus dormitories increasingly crowded. Thus even some of the least attractive off-campus apartments now seem to be in great demand. As a result, real estate owners tend to purchase as many properties as they can near college campus for the sole purpose of renting them out yo students. “College towns”have sprung up across the country where there are large numbers of houses filled with students tenants. To find an apartment that’s “right”for you, first determine exactly how much you can spend. Don’t waste your valuable time seeing apartments you can’t afford. Use newspaper classified ads, apartment guides and the Internet, to make a list of “candidates” in your price range and needs. First consider how much travel time you can afford each day. The next question: will you have a roommate to share the costs? Will you be able to afford the apartment if your partner moves out? Furthermore, be sure to consider the potential costs of utilities carefully. Sometimes utility costs are included in the rent. This arrangement often gives a clearer picture of monthly costs.resident dormitories apartments demand properties rent right spend afford roommate moves costsTask 4: Roommate Wanted20-year-old two 3-bedroom preferred responsible respectful north walking distance privateair conditioning high speed $275 utilitiesIV. Speaking OutModel 1 It’s all my fault.Now Your TurnProfessor: Everyone should be here by now. Where’re they?David: Well, there was a notice posted on the bulletin board, but maybe not everyone saw it. Professor: Did anyone put up a notice in the regular classroom?David: Well, I think nobody did.Professor: Really?David: I hate to say it, but I don’t think the rest of the class is coming.Professor: It’s all my fault. I should have told them all on the last class.Model 2 I didn’t do that.Now Your TurnElectrician: Wasn’t I just here several days ago for an electrical problem?Ashley: I guess you’re mistaken.Electrician: Oh man! Look what you’ve done! You can’t plug all these appliances into one socket.It’s too much overloaded!Ashley: I’m sorry, but I didn’t do that.Electrician: The truth is, you college kids never learn!Model 3 I’m afraid you’re rightNow Your TurnJames: Well, you see, when you get up, you always take a long shower—one hour sometimes. John:That’s not true! I do have a shower every morning, but I don’t think I spent that long. James: But when you use the bathroom, you always lock the door.John: I’m sorry. I just like my privacy.James: Well, the fact is that others need to use the toilet too. Do you think we should go downstairs to the gas station to use the public toilets?John: I’m afraid you’re right. I promise I’ll take a quick shower later, and keep the door open.V. Let’s TalkJack: Hey, Anne, long time no see!Anne: Yeah, whatcha’ been doin’?Jack: Oh, not much, just hanging around my suite.Anne: Oh, you got a suite this year? I remember last year you were in a triple. I mean, thouse rooms were really supposed to be for two people, but they stuffed three of you in them. Jack: Right. That’s why I got to bid first for my room this year. And now me and five other guys are in a suite.Anne: So it’s three rooms for two people each？Jack: Right. And how about you? Where are you living this year?Anne: I’m out in the Hillside Community, I really like it there. It’s a little further away from the Academic buildings, but it’s nice and quiet. You know, I’m not much of a partygoer. Jack: I know. Last year our crazy floor used to keep you up all night! Do you remember when the RA caught me with beer in my room? I had to do 15 hours of building service! Anne: That RA was so strict! In Hillside, since it’s mostly an older community, there are no regulations about alcohol. However, Sunday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturdayafter 1 a.m. are all “quiet hours”.Jack: Is it more expensive to live up there? Iknow the apartments are really nice.Anne: Yeah, a lot more. I t’s about $2,000 a semester.Jack: Whoa. My room is just $1,400 for a year per person.For ReferenceaB,ask A why he/she wants to move out.Why?

It’s really inconvenient to share a single room with several otherpeople.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: The Residence HallThe University Residence Hall houses 339 students. It is conveniently located on campus, and provides comfortable, fully air-conditioned room for male and female students. As an integral part of the educational program, it is more than a place where students can eat and sleep; it is a living unit in the true sense of the term. Here students from all parts of the country and all corners of the world are assigned to room without regard to race, religion, color or national origin. They enjoy many opportunities to make new friends with all kinds of people and can also enjoy many voluntary educational, social, culture and recreational activities provided by the Residence Hall staff, in cooperation with the Residence Hall Council. The experience here will contribute as much to students’ development as will their coursework and study, and ultimately to the sound education needed for effective citizenship in the community.1. on campus air-conditioned room 3392. the educational program a living unit eat and sleep3. all parts of the country assigned to room national origin4. make new friends educational activities5. students’ development the sound education citizenshipTask 2: Arrangements for MovingGood morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve called this meeting to discuss our new campus which is opening fully next year. We plan to move our students to the new facilities in groups, so please listen carefully. They Agricultural Science students won’t move at all. As you know, their new facilities were opened last year, and they are well placed for both laboratory and classroom space. The Arts students, however, are a different case. History students are all moving, but unfortunately Their teachers will be left in the old building, as the new office accommodation isn’t yet ready. Better news for engineers. Your faculty, staff and students, are already in the process of moving to the new campus. The lab is already in operation. The move for the engineers should be completed next week. The old engineering building will be taken over by the Philosophy Department. The Faculty of Law has been moved downtown. This leaves vacant the premises previously occupied by the lawyers. The planning committee is accepting suggestions for the way school buildings could be used. So, if you have further doubts or questions, please let us know. Thank you.1. T2. F3. T4. T5.

Yet this gesture horrifies a Syrian sitting opposite the Colombian because he thinks he is being told to “go to hell”. Thanks to a Greek friend, the Syrian is held back, with great difficulty, from getting up and hitting the Colombian on the nose.
Unfortunately, to the Greek,
this gesture means double

Strange things can happen when body language is used across cultures!
Do people use gestures in your country? Are they being polite or impolite, friendly or unfriendly when they use them? Have you ever been offended by a foreigner using a wrong gesture in your country? Have you ever upset a foreigner by using a nonverbal sign that is considered to be polite or friendly in your own culture? Before you answer these questions, look at the following funny, and sometimes dangerous situations where the same gestures mean very different things across cultures.
