Key to ExercisesOpenerSuggested answers for reference:1. In China it is a familiar scene that grandparents take their grandchildren to or from school every day, which, however, seldom happens in the West. There parenting responsibility mainly rests with the parents rather than others.2. In general there is not much difference between Western and Chinese tourists. If any, it seems that Chinese like to pose for photos with the scenery as the background, whereas Westerners often just shoot pictures of scenic spots.3. Well, it's true that many Western employees see them and their boss as equals, but anywhere, anytime, you and your boss are never equals in its truest sense. There always exists a gap in between. Compared with Westerners, Chinese employees might tend to be more forbearing(克制) towards their boss and seldom air their grievances publicly.Reading & InteractingI. Understanding the Text1.Text Organization2. Comprehension Check2.1 Digging into detail1. The fact that he wasn't taking on half of the childcare duties, and he thought it was more important to spend time on his work than on his daughter, and his expectation that his mother would do all the housework he was supposed to do.2. Her mother-in-law explained that her role in the family was to lighten the burden of her son, allowing him to keep his former way of life, and to help her daughter-in-law out with parenting and household management.3. She thought it was absolutely unacceptable, because, in her view, her husband is one of two parents, and therefore their daughter should be half his responsibility; and she married her husband, not her mother-in-law.4. He obviously believed that mothers are the primary caregiver of children and this was the normal difference between mothers and fathers.5. She totally rejected the idea, because she thought what her mother-in-law did was fulfilling the parenting responsibility of her husband, therefore it was her husband's responsibility to take care of his own mother when she was old.2.2 Understanding difficult sentences1.B2.

In a TV interview after the election, the elected congresswoman said repeatedly how grateful she was to all her supporters.2.

In the plane crash over the weekend, the sole survivor was a baby traveling with its parents.5. More and more people are becoming increasingly aware that climate change affects every aspect of our lives.6. He used to enjoy going out to dine with friends, but he started spending more time with family after his wife gave birth to their baby daughter.7. It is a tradition of American universities to invite prominent people from various fields to deliver a speech at their commencement/graduation ceremony.8. Apart from occasional visits to local places of interest, such as art galleries, exhibitions and shopping centres, the old couple generally stayed at home.9. The elder gentleman looked over his shoulder before entering the building, making sure nobody was following him.10. The new product was developed in response to customer demand.11.

My girlfriend was seriously ill then, but she didn't dare (to) tell her parents about it.4. It's true that I experienced culture shock when I first worked in a different country, but I gradually learned to appreciate the differences rather than feel angry at them.5. Having worked in a different city for 18 months, the young man was proud of himself for embracing the unknown and making new friends rather than hiding himself in his comfort zone as he used to.6. The job market is at its worst and I consider myself lucky to find a well-paid job, therefore I don't dare (to) ask for more.4. Comprehensive Practice4.1It is easy to get things wrong if you move to live in a new country with a different culture from your own. You may find yourself facing a whole new set of expectations about the proper way to behave. Go out to dine with your new friends and you may find yourself having to adopt a whole new set of table manners. Then there is the problem of who is responsible for paying for the meal. This may not be immediately apparent. In some cultures friends share the cost equally at the end of the meal, in others the preference is for friends to take turns, repaying one meal with another at a later date. Working out the details of local customs like these may take time, but, in my view, it is well worth the effort if you want to avoid misunderstandings.4.2To be a grandparent is a big deal in China. Chinese grandparents are widely known for their devotion to the responsibilities of taking care of the third generation. This, however, is a primary cause of the conflict between parents and their adult children, for there exist apparent differences in aspects like lifestyle and parenting approaches between the two generations. You can expect parents to help you manage your household and take on childcare duties, thus relieving you of your burden as a parent, but you must know, very often, you have to leave your own parenting ideas behind. Meanwhile, the adult child simply can't take the kindness of his/her parents for granted. As your parents helped you out when you struggled to balance family and career, you are certainly expected to repay their kindness by taking care of them when they getold.Reading & ComprehendingReading 11.

In my parents? words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.

The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, \people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: \young.\young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi?nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.4Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi?nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.Part II Text A Text Organization 1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23 By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un?derground Railroad to freedom.2.

In my parents' words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.Unit Two Civil Rights HeroesPart II Text A THE FREEDOM GIVERSText Organization1.Part One Paras 1-5It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un­derground Railroad to freedom.2.

Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Part III Text BComprehension Check 1. a 2. d 3. c 4. d 5. b 6. bLanguage Practice1. remarkable2. commitment3. flourish4. resulted from5. grave6.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United States in the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black.Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a long way to go.Unit Three SecurityText A THE LAND OF THE LOCKText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas. Dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.2) Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.3) Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pasted on the windows of the most pleasant of homes.4) Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-size companies.5) Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.6) Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to help determine whether the caller is telling lies or not.7) Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.Vocabulary1.1) tranquil 2) analyze 3) by a small margin 4)civilize 5) rural 6)closed up7) era 8)paste 9) without so much as 10)sideways 11) barricaded 12)hook up to13) error 14)chart 15) Bathed in2. 1) bring about 2) looked back on 3) cut off 4) fit into 5) wear (the other) down 6) lies in 7) put up 8) stand for3. 1) A certain gene which is likely to make people vulnerable to asthma has been found by researchers at the Department of Clinical Medicine in Oxford.2) A wardrobe with mirrored doors had to be built in so as to make their small bedroom look larger.3) The NBC show's opening shots feature the space shuttle Challenger blowing up in January 1986—killing all seven crew.4) Colds can be held at bay by increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables which are both low in calories and rich in Vitamin C.5) Energy difficulties are a major barrier to the country's economic growth due to the fact that imported oil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange / because imported oil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange.4. 1) Jacob looked back on his summer holidays spent on the Big Island of Hawaii with itsbeautiful landscape and tranquil atmosphere as a rare escape from the madness of urban life.2) I was puzzled by the word "e-mail" when I came across it for the first time years ago.

TranslationA burglary is reported every 15 seconds in the United States. Statistics show burglars en­tered more than 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy analarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.

The gun is the great equalizer. It does not matter whether you are a big tough man or a small frail woman. With a gun in your hand you stand at the same height.What's more, it is the foundation of our nation. Without it there would be no Republic as it is, for we would never have been able to drive the Indians off the land without shooting so many of them down. Nor would the West have been won. Who would have dared venture into lands unpro­tected by the law if they had not been able to protect themselves with a gun? The spirit of our nation thrives on aggressive individuals who are ready to stand up for themselves and to fight for their rights. Look at our films. What do we enjoy watching? People shooting one another. True, children occasionally get hold of guns and slaughter their classmates. But if only their classmates had been properly armed, they could have fought back. It was gun control that left them defenceless.。

The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi-nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi-nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.- 96 -Appendix IPart II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberateslaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the earlycivil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23By citing examples the author praises the exploits ofcivil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un-derground Railroad to freedom.2.

TranslationHenson's painful life as a slave strengthened his determination to struggle for freedom.Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Part III TextBComprehension Check1. a2. d3. c4. d5. b6. bTranslation(#J& Appendix III)Language Practice1. remarkable2. commitment3. flourish4. resulted from- 100 -Appendix I5. grave6.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United States in the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, to-bacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black.Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a long way to go.(254 words)Appendix I- 101 -Unit 3Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are about to hear is all about a "Saturday Night Special".

It starts with a burglar creeping into a house at night. The couple in the house have gone to bed as the song says. Despite creeping the burglar must have awoken the man, for he is getting up, "reachin' for his trousers", when the burglar shoots him several times, "full of holes".1 So big Jim commenced to fightin': Normally we say "Big Jim commenced to fight or commenced fighting".Appendix I- 103-Which brings us to the "Saturday Night Special", with its "barrel blue and cold", a handgun. Despite calling it by such a familiar name, it's clear the singer has no time for the handgun. He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down "six feet in a hole".From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special. He shoots his friend "right between the eyes".Pistols in America are cheap at just twenty dollars, but the singer warns against having one. Those foolish enough to do so are not only a danger to others, but also a danger to themselves, for, as he sings, "if you like to drink your whiskey, you may even shoot yourself."Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.2)Dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.3)Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.4)Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pasted on the windows of themost pleasant of homes.5)Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-size companies.6)Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.7)Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to help determine whetherthe caller is telling lies or not.8)Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.2.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3In America, the era of leaving the front door on thelatch has drawn to a close.Part Two Paras 4-15 A new atmosphere of fear and distrust has crept intoevery aspect of daily life.

Statistics show burglars entered more than 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.Appendix I- 107 -Part III TextBComprehension Check1. b 3. b 5. a2. b 4. d 6. dtranslation(#JE Appendix III) Language Practice1. impact3. draw the line at 5. circumstance 7. take the plunge 9. aggressive 11. advocated 13. departed15. target17. head for19. on the line2. inflicted4. recommend6. break into8. conclude / have concluded 10. confirm12. insure14. in our favor16. count on18.

The gun is the great equalizer. It does not matter whether you are a big tough man or a small frail woman. With a gun in your hand you stand at the same height.What's more, it is the foundation of our nation. Without it there would be no Republic as it is,- 108 -Appendix Ifor we would never have been able to drive the Indians off the land without shooting so many of them down. Nor would the West have been won. Who would have dared venture into lands unpro-tected by the law if they had not been able to protect themselves with a gun? The spirit of our nation thrives on aggressive individuals who are ready to stand up for themselves and to fight for their rights. Look at our films. What do we enjoy watching? People shooting one another. True, children occasionally get hold of guns and slaughter their classmates. But if only their classmates had been properly armed, they could have fought back. It was gun control that left them defenceless.(184 words) Unit 4Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Every child likes listening to stories. Zoe, a girl with wings, is no exception.

Key to ExercisesOpenerSuggested answers for reference:1. In China it is a familiar scene that grandparents take their grandchildren to or from school every day, which, however, seldom happens in the West. There parenting responsibility mainly rests with the parents rather than others.2. In general there is not much difference between Western and Chinese tourists. If any, it seems that Chinese like to pose for photos with the scenery as the background, whereas Westerners often just shoot pictures of scenic spots.3. Well, it's true that many Western employees see them and their boss as equals, but anywhere, anytime, you and your boss are never equals in its truest sense. There always exists a gap in between. Compared with Westerners, Chinese employees might tend to be more forbearing <克制> towards their boss and seldom air their grievances publicly.Reading & InteractingI.

Her mother-in-law explained that her role in the family was to lighten the burden of her son, allowing him to keep his former way of life, and to help her daughter-in-law out with parenting and household management.3. She thought it was absolutely unacceptable, because, in her view, her husband is one of two parents, and therefore their daughter should be half his responsibility; and she married her husband, not her mother-in-law.4. He obviously believed that mothers are the primary caregiver of children and this was the normal difference between mothers and fathers.5.

Comprehensive Practice4.1It is easy to get things wrong if you move to live in a new country with a different culture from your own. You may find yourself facing a whole new set of expectations about the proper way to behave. Go out to dine with your new friends and you may find yourself having to adopta whole new set of table manners. Then there is the problem of who is responsible for paying for the meal. This may not be immediately apparent. In some cultures friends share the cost equally at the end of the meal, in others the preference is for friends to take turns, repaying one meal with another at a later date. Working out the details of local customs like these may take time, but, in my view, it is well worth the effort if you want to avoid misunderstandings.4.2To be a grandparent is a big deal in China. Chinese grandparents are widely known for their devotion to the responsibilities of taking care of the third generation. This, however, is a primary cause of the conflict between parents and their adult children, for there exist apparent differences in aspectslike lifestyle and parenting approaches between the two generations. You can expect parents to help you manage your household and take on childcare duties, thus relieving you ofyour burden as a parent, but you must know, very often, you have toleave your own parenting ideasbehind. Meanwhile, the adult child simply can't take the kindness of his/her parents for granted. As your parents helped you out when you struggled to balance family and career, you are certainly expected to repay their kindness by taking care of them when they getold.Reading & ComprehendingReading 11.

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)  When When he he he entered entered entered the the the house, house, house, Mr. Mr. Mr. Stewart Stewart Stewart was was was even even even more more more amazed amazed amazed to to to find find find that that that the the the house house house was was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of of their their their discussion, discussion, discussion, a a a postman postman postman came came came to to to deliver deliver deliver a a a letter. letter. letter. And And And the the the letter letter letter was was was addressed addressed addressed to to to Mr. Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned returned as as as no no no person person person of of of that that that name name name lived lived lived in in in the the the house house house any any any longer. longer. longer. As As As the the the postman postman postman demanded demanded demanded a a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it, two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing v 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  One of the best-known collections of parallels is between the careers of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday, in the presence of their wives; both were succeeded by by a a a Southerner Southerner Southerner named named named Johnson; Johnson; Johnson; both both both their their their killers killers killers were were were themselves themselves themselves killed killed killed before before before they they they could could could be be brought to justice. Lincoln had a secretary called Kennedy; Kennedy a secretary called Lincoln. Lincoln Lincoln was was was killed killed killed in in in the the the Ford Ford Ford Theater; Theater; Theater; Kennedy Kennedy Kennedy met met met his his his death death death while while while riding riding riding in in in a a a Lincoln Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor Company -- and so on.  Similar coincidences often occur between twins. A news story from Finland reported of two 70-year-old 70-year-old twin twin twin brothers brothers brothers dying dying dying two two two hours hours hours apart apart apart in in in separate separate separate accidents, accidents, accidents, with with with both both both being being being hit hit hit by by trucks while crossing the same road on bicycles. According to the police, the second victim could not have known about his brother's death, as officers had only managed to identify the first victim minutes before the second accident.  Connections are also found between identical twins who have been separated at birth. Dorothy Lowe and Bridget Harrison were separated in 1945, and did not meet until 1979, when they were flown flown over over over from from from Britain Britain Britain for for for an an an investigation investigation investigation by by by a a a psychologist psychologist psychologist at at at the the the University University University of of of Minnesota. Minnesota. They found that when they met they were both wearing seven rings on their hands, two bracelets on on one one one wrist, wrist, wrist, a a a watch watch watch and and and a a a bracelet bracelet bracelet on on on the the the other. other. other. They They They married married married on on on the the the same same same day, day, day, had had had worn worn identical identical wedding wedding wedding dresses dresses dresses and and and carried carried carried the the the same same same flowers. flowers. flowers. Dorothy Dorothy Dorothy had had had named named named her her her son son son Richard Richard Andrew and her daughter Catherine Louise; Bridget had named her son Andrew Richard and her daughter Karen Louise. In fact, she had wanted to call her Catherine. Both had a cat called Tiger. They also had a string of similar mannerisms when they were nervous.  How can we explain the above similarities? Statements: 1. Both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were killed by a Southerner. 2. John F. Kennedy's secretary was named after Abraham Lincoln. 3. The news story told about the traffic accidents that killed two twin brothers. 4. 4. It It It can can can be be be inferred inferred inferred from from from the the the passage passage passage that that that more more more parallel parallel parallel phenomena phenomena phenomena are are are studied studied studied in in in the the the United United States than in any other country. 5. Coincidences occurring in three nations are described in the passage. 6. Some psychologists' interest is the research on coincidences between twins. 7. 7. According According According to to to the the the speaker, speaker, speaker, coincidences coincidences coincidences occur occur occur much much much more more more often often often between between between twins twins twins than than than between between people who are not related. 8. The speaker does not mention his/her own opinion on whether these parallels can be explained.

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? The answer, psychologists say, is none of the above. Why? Because they are all extremes. In a number of research studies, psychologists asked couples these questions. The answers were clear. Most people are happy with moderation -- with partners who are not the most or the best (or the least or the worst). People are more comfortable with partners who are not so special.  The The research research research showed showed showed several several several other other other important important important things. things. things. In In In a a a love love love relationship, relationship, relationship, two two two things things things can can cause trouble. First, trouble happens when both people get angry quickly. This is not surprising. Second, trouble happens when people don't expect to change themselves in a relationship. Do you stay calm when you disagree with someone? Are you ready to change yourself? If you can tolerate disagreement and are willing to change, maybe you are ready for a serious relationship. Statements: 1. The passage implies that the perfect match for you is a person who is most unlike you. 2. The author argues that the most beautiful or most handsome person may not be your perfect partner. 3. 3. Moderate Moderate Moderate person, person, person, that that that is, is, is, the the the partners partners partners who who who are are are not not not the the the most most most or or or the the the best best best can can can be be be your your your perfect perfect match. 4. The research showed that an extreme love relationship between the two can cause trouble. 5. 5. The The The passage passage passage states states states that that that the the the anger anger anger is is is one one one of of of the the the causes causes causes that that that lead lead lead to to to the the the breakup breakup breakup of of of a a a love love relationship. 6. The perfect match lies in the people's attitudes to tolerate disagreement and be willing to change in a relationship. Part D Husbands and Wives Don't See Things Alike Let's Let's face face face it it it -- -- -- husbands husbands husbands and and and wives wives wives just just just don't don't don't see see see things things things alike. alike. alike. Take TV Take TV remote remote controls, controls, controls, for for example. I'm a channel-grazer. When I watch the news, I flip back and forth through four different networks.  "It drives me crazy when you do that," my wife complains. I don't understand why she has no interest in other channels. After all, she is a woman who wants to know everything going on in the neighborhood and among all the relatives. Just one button away might be an interesting program on on How How How to to to Lose Lose Lose Fifty Fifty Fifty Pounds Pounds Pounds by by by Eating Eating Eating Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Sundaes Sundaes Sundaes or or or How How How to to to Understand Understand Understand Weird Weird Husbands. But, no, she won't change channels, not even if she dislikes the program she's watching.
