Bungee jumping looks like fun. It makes me nervous just to watch someone do it. It certainly takes a lot of guts to jump one thousand feet above the water with only a rope tied to your legs. It scares me just to think about it. However, it is something I really want to do one day.
Some people think I'm crazy. They say to jump is foolish enough, but to have to pay for it is madness. I don't agree. For me, to live a short and exciting life is far better than to live a long and boring one. What do you think?

Whether very sick people should be helped to end their own lives is a question many people cannot answer. However, Dr.Kevorkian is an exception. That he has done this more than twenty times is known to everyone. Some say what he is doing is immoral. They call him Doctor Death. Others say what he is doing is merciful.

Smoking is bad in that it is harmful to one's health. In spite of the fact that doctors have even warned that it causes cancer, people still keep on smoking.

Passing exams is every student's dream. Failing them is their nightmare. So, to realize their dreams, many students try anything. They even go to fortunetellers, buy lucky charms and follow old customs.

33. A Deadly Current p.213
It is a pity that every summer a few people drown at the beach. In some cases, these people were good swimmers. So how did it happen? Riptide!
Riptide is a strong underwater current. It moves quickly away from shore and out to sea. It appears suddenly and pulls its victim under and far off shore. Therefore, people should make it a rule never to swim too far out from the beach.
If you find yourself in a riptide, don't panic. And by no means should you try to go against the tide and swim back to shore. You'll tire yourself out and probably drown. Instead, swim parallel to the beach. A riptide is very narrow. So just a few strokes in the right direction and you'll be out of danger.

35. A Sense of Security p.227
Some people take the view that sometimes in life we have to take chances in order to make progress. I admire such people. It certainly takes courage to take risks. Maybe it's due to my upbringing, but I am the type who likes to play it safe.
People like me believe in the saying, " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Conservative as it may be, it keeps me out of trouble. I must confess, however, that such a lifestyle may, at times, be boring. Admittedly, my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people's, but at least it gives me a sense of security.

Because Americans like things (to do) done immediately, they often order their food quickly at fast-food restaurants. They say, "A burger, fries and a coke!" though it's not polite, it's efficient.

49. Stop Snoring! P.329
Millions of families have trouble falling asleep. Do you know why? There's someone in the family who has a snoring problem. The problem can be quite serious. In some cases, couples have to sleep in separate bedrooms. And in others, kids can never study or even watch TV once Dad hits the sack.
So how can we avoid being a snoring nuisance? One way is to avoid eating a big meal before going to bed. Drinking alcohol near bedtime is something, which also causes snoring. Changing the position in which the snorer sleeps also helps. Another alternative is to wear ear plugs. But if all these ideas fail, you have only one choice: Wake the snorer up. Tell him it's his turn to watch you sleep.

S: I read in a magazine that there's some kind of laser which can cure snoring.
M: I read that, too. But it's pretty expensive. Besides, people who have tried it say it's painful and could cause voice change.
S: Oh, I didn't know that. I guess there's no hope then.

51.Thanksgiving p.348
Thanksgiving which(形从) falls on the fourth Thursday of November, is one of the biggest American holidays. This holiday started in the early 1600's after settlers arrived in America. These people who came from Europe didn't know how to survive in the wild new country. Luckily, they met some friendly American Indians, who showed them how to hunt turkeys and grow corn. In the fall, after the harvest, the settlers had a great feast. They invited the Indians to thank them for their help.
Today the tradition continues. On Thanksgiving Day, Americans invite their friends over for a turkey dinner and give thanks for what they have.

Many people seek fame and wealth. Gul Muhammed sought neither. However, through fate he is famous. He is so short that he is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest man in the world. He measures only 57 centimeters. Though he has fame, he is not rich. In fact, he's too poor to pay his own medical bills.
Recently, when Gul became so ill that he had to be brought to the hospital, he didn't have enough money for the medicine. What a pitiful man he is! His story tells us that fame and wealth do not always go hand in hand. Indeed, Gul is a living example of the saying, "All that glitters is not gold."

Some people say that(名从,可省) promises are made to be broken. That certainly seems to be true in this cutthroat society that we live in. But if you break your promise, you will ruin your reputation and no one will trust you anymore(=any longer). So whenever we say, "I give you my word," we should mean it. There is nothing(which is) worse than to be let down by others because they have not kept their promises.
In fact, it isn't so difficult to keep promises. (you)Just remember never to promise anything we are not sure we can live up to. In short, therefore, to be trustworthy, we should always say what we mean and mean what we say.

73. Don't Be a Fish out of Water p.504
Do you sometimes have a hard time understanding what Americans are talking about among themselves? Do you want to know why? The answer is, Americans are crazy about using slang. They tend to over do it, though.
Otherwise, slang is fun to use. You should try it. And some slang is easy to understand. For example, if someone is "off the hook," it means that he is no longer in trouble. The "hook" is a fish hook. If a fish is on the hook, of course, it is in trouble. If it is "off the hook," then it is out of danger. Didn't we tell you slang is fun? Besides, it should at least help you feel more at home and not like a fish out of water when you speak to Americans.

Dear Allen,
[1] I just received your letter and I want to let you know my opinion of your plans for the future. I hope you won't take offense, but will accept what I say here as some fatherly advice.
[2] I was quite surprised when I read in your letter that you had decided not to finish your studies at the university. I realize that Peter wants you to marry him this summer. But with only one more year to go, you would be well advised to finish. A year is really a short time, and later you will be glad you postponed getting married.
[3] As you know, my reaction to Peter was extremely favorable when I met him. He's an exceptionally fine young man and should be a good husband. But I suggest you complete your education first.
[4] You are twenty-one, a grown-up young lady old enough to make up your own mind. This is something you'll have to work out yourself. As your uncle, I have always tried not to interfere in your affairs and I don't intend to begin now. But, my dear niece, please do consider my words very carefully before you decide. Whatever you do, though, Allen, you know I only want one thing for you, and that is your happiness.
Affectionately, Uncle John

第十七拿手好戏：文化经济交流使者
●筷子的故事-中国人的自豪●
Having their origins〖起源〗 in China, chopsticks are used in many Asian countries. The first chopsticks were made from bone and jade. In the Spring and Autumn period〖春秋时代〗, copper and iron chopsticks came into being〖产生〗.
In ancient times the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth. Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned.
Chopsticks are traditionally placed in bride's dowries〖新娘的嫁妆〗, for "Chopsticks" in Chinese is pronounced "kuaizi", which sounds like "soon to get a son."
Many foreign friends used chopsticks when they visited China. Nixon also used chopsticks at the welcoming banquet in his honor. As soon as he left his table, a foreign diplomat grabbed〖抓取〗his chopsticks as historic souvenir〖纪念品〗.
探讨中美贸易摩擦的对策
Today trade imbalance〖贸易失衡〗between the United States and our country is becoming worse〖日益恶化〗. We cannot leave this problem unattended〖置之不理〗, because the make a couple of proposals 〖提出若干建议〗to improve the whole situation.
First, we need to do more public relations activities〖公关活动〗to promote understanding, because some of their criticisms are based on misconceptions〖误解〗about our country. We have to communicate with them more by sending lobbyists〖游说人员〗, producing more movies, publishing books, and so on.
Second, we have to make an effort to encourage American companies to do business in our country. We should revise our projectionist practices in trade〖贸易保护主义〗, and promote free trade and competition.
At any rate〖总而言之〗, our country and the United States need each other, and we have to maintain〖保持；维持；继续〗communication to understand each other.

From childhood, I have been a poor student of foreign languages〖从小我的外语就不好〗. Throughout my education〖学生时代〗, I have been exposed to〖接触〗languages such as English, Spanish, and French, but I flunked all these classes. But through my experience in business at home and abroad〖国内外〗I have learned the most important language by meeting a wide range of people from different cultures. It's the language of human relationship that is based on trust, openness, and under standing〖这就是基于信任、开放和理解的人际关系的语言〗. This universal language〖这种世界性的语言〗has always brought people of different cultures close together〖将不同文化的人们紧密地结合在一起〗. And I believe it is through this language of human relationship that our company has grown into what it is today〖达到它今日的成长/发展到今日的规模〗.
I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak to you. And next time, please ask me in advance to make a speech. (我要感谢大家给我一个机会向各位讲话/和各位交流。不过，下一次请事先通知我一声要作演讲喔/下一次可别再给我来个突然袭击喔！)

Listening to music is the favorite pastime of many people all over the world. This is especially true for
people living in Vienna, the city of song. Being the home of Mozart, this city is the birthplace of classical
music and the waltz.
Music fills the air in Vienna. Going to public concerts is often free of charge. And don't forget, Vienna is

5. Bungee Jumping p.26
Bungee jumping looks like fun. It makes me nervous just to watch someone do it. It certainly takes a lot of
guts to jump one thousand feet above the water with only a rope tied to your legs. It scares me just to think
about it. However, it is something I really want to do one day.
Some people think I'm crazy. They say to jump is foolish enough, but to have to pay for it is madness. I
don't agree. For me, to live a short and exciting life is far better than to live a long and boring one. What
do you think?

7. Doctor Death p.39
Whether very sick people should be helped to end their own lives is a question many people cannot answer.
However, Dr.Kevorkian is an exception. That he has done this more than twenty times is known to everyone.
Some say what he is doing is immoral. They call him Doctor Death. Others say what he is doing is merciful.
They call it mercy killing.
Whether Dr.Kevorkian should be allowed to continue doing this is a real problem for the government. There
seem to be two sides to the argument. Which side are you on?

Pollution is a big problem in almost all the big cities of the world. City people are, therefore, becoming
more and more worried about how they can get rid of pollution. They are also concerned about whether the
government is doing enough to protect the environment.
However, people in Ireland don't have these worries. They are sure that they have found the answer to the
problem. They use windmills. These windmills can create power without creating pollution. This method is so
successful that other countries are thinking of doing the same. Why not? What works for Ireland can work for
any other country.

13.Health Comes First p. 81
Smoking is bad in that it is harmful to one's health. In spite of the fact that doctors have even warned
that it causes cancer, people still keep on smoking.
In some Western countries, however, people are beginning to kick the bad habit. They realize that health
should come first. To help them quit smoking, there are laws against cigarette advertising and smoking in
public places. This is praiseworthy except that Western countries are now selling cigarettes in the East
in greater numbers than ever. That they are doing this is immoral, don't you think?

15. Don't Rely on Luck! P.93
Passing exams is every student's dream. Failing them is their nightmare. So, to realize their dreams, many
students try anything. They even go to fortunetellers, buy lucky charms and follow old customs.
In Korea, many students bury something personal in the university they want to enter. They believe that
these things will act as magnets and "pull" them into the university. Whether it works or not, nobody really
knows. At least it does ease the students' minds about passing exams. Remember, though, you can't always rely
on luck. There is no substitute for hard work.

a map of the city and shows you where you are. Just give the computer the name of your hotel. You'll see it

What's the real reason women get fat? It's not chocolate or ice cream. According to a recent report, which
was published in London, it's men! A magazine suggested men have a special warning written on their foreh-
eads:" I can make you fat!" what do you think of that idea?
The report claims that when women fall in love, they tend to eat more. When they get married, they cook more.
And when they get pregnant, of course, they gain weight. They blame it on men. So, girls, if you want to lose
weight, you don't have to go on a diet: just dump your boyfriends!

23. Earthquake Survival Tips P140
Would you know what to do during a really big earthquake? Experts have looked into the matter carefully. It
may be worth your while to look over the following tips they have for us.
If the ground begins shaking while you are driving, pull over and stay in your car. If you are in a building,
try to get near a strong wall. The corner of a room or the space under a big doorway is the safest. As soon
as the quake is over, check the gas pipe in the building. Gas fires often result from earthquakes. These tips
may prove to be lifesavers. We should, therefore, keep them in mind. Remember to always hope for the best but
prepare for the worst.

25. Restaurant Dos and Don'ts P156
When you want to eat at a Western restaurant, you should first consider making a reservation. If not, you
risk having to wait for a long time for a table.
When eating, the Japanese and some Chinese are in the habit of slurping their food. By doing so, they show
their host how much they like the food. Westerners find eating soup this way most unpleasant. They also
consider picking one's teeth and putting on makeup at the table no-nos. and when it comes to tipping, they
just leave some money on the table. The amount is up to you, but it's usually 15 to 20 percent of the check.

D: In that case, of course, we don't leave one.
C: And does the waiter know that's why you didn't give him a tip?

27. Thank Your Lucky Stars p173
I remember when I was a young boy, life was tough. My parents made me do many things for them. For example,
they had me do the laundry, the dishes and the house cleaning. They even got me to work part-time to help
with the family expenses. If I was naughty, they would spank me. They would not let me go outside the house
for days.
Nowadays, life is quite different for kids. Parents can't force them to do anything. On the contrary, it
seems as if children can get their parents to do anything for them. Parents and teachers are even afraid to
spank children for fear of being sued. It amazes me , therefore, whenever I hear youngsters complain.
Instead, they should be thanking their lucky stars.

M: Ok. What do you want?
J: All I want is vegetables and fruit from now on.

One day I was at home listening to music when suddenly I felt a pain in my neck. As I tried to turn my head,
I head my neck crack. I got the fright of my life. I was so scared that I could feel my legs trembling.
"What's the matter with me?" I thought to myself.
Just then, I felt myself slapped by someone. I opened my eye and saw my teacher standing over me with an
angry look in his face. I realized then that I had been dreaming. I didn't mind getting caught dozing off
in class. I was happy what happened was just a dream.

31. Good Feng Shui in New York p.199
Feng shui, or geomancy in English, is becoming more and more popular in America. The Chinese consider
feng shui old news, but to Americans, it's something brand-new. Store and home owners are consulting feng
shui masters for advice.
How did this ancient Chinese tradition make its way across the seas? The answer is quite simple. Chinese
businessmen have been building high rises in America. They deem it necessary to rely on feng shui experts,
just as they would at home. More and more wealthy Americans are beginning to believe in geomancy. They say
that geomancers in New York make US$250 an hour! In view of this, we can foresee a bright future for geomancy
in America.

S: Why?
T: Goldfish bring good luck.
S: Ok. Anything else?
T: You should also get rid of that mirror in front of your bed.
S: Why?
T: Your soul travels at night. It must find its way back to the body. The soul might see your body in the
mirror and get confused.
S: Hmm…really? What else?
T: Um… (He bumps into a coffee table.) ouch! And get rid of this table.
S: Why? It's just a coffee table.

33. A Deadly Current p.213
it is a pity that every summer a few people drown at the beach. In some cases, these people were good
swimmers. So how did it happen? Riptide!
Riptide is a strong underwater current. It moves quickly away from shore and out to sea. It appears
suddenly and pulls its victim under and far off shore. Therefore, people should make it a rule never to
swim too far out from the beach.
If you find yourself in a riptide, don't panic. And by no means should you try to go against the tide
and swim back to shore. You'll tire yourself out and probably drown. Instead, swim parallel to the beach.
A riptide is very narrow. So just a few strokes in the right direction and you'll be out of danger.

35. A Sense of Security p.227
Some people take the view that sometimes in life we have to take chances in order to make progress. I
admire such people. It certainly takes courage to take risks. Maybe it's due to my upbringing, but I am the
type who likes to play it safe.
People like me believe in the saying, " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Conservative as
it may be, it keeps me out of trouble. I must confess, however, that such a lifestyle may, at times, be
boring. Admittedly, my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people's, but at least it gives me
a sense of security.

Fashion never ceases to surprise me. Recently, a fashion designer came up with another strange creation.
His idea comes straight from the garbage dump, so to speak. He makes sweaters from used plastic bottles. What
a weird sweater that's going to be!
This new kind of sweater will protect you from the rain and cold. They will, therefore, be especially
attractive to outdoor people such as fishermen, hunters and mountain climbers. However, they're not cheap.
They sell at prices ranging from US$100 to US$150. What a great idea for making money! Don't you think?

A: Oh, really? If you ask me, it's more like a bird's nest. How stupid it looks!
J: you think so? Hey, wait a minute. You might be right. There's something moving in the nest... I mean, hat.
A: Gee whiz! It's a bird.
J: Holy cow! How does she keep it from flying away?
A: Don't you see! She's got it fastened to a gold chain around her neck.

39. At the Foreign Exchange p.259
When you go abroad, what's the thing you need most? Money, of course! You'll need to go to the bank to
buy some traveler's checks. Then when you arrive at your destination, you'll have to go to a bank to cash
the checks. Every bank has a foreign exchange department. However, you'll have to speak with the teller in
English because he or she will probably not understand Chinese.
You should, therefore, brush up on some of the words and phrases that are commonly used when changing
money at a bank. For example, you might want to know what the day's exchange rate is, or if there are any
handling charges, etc. worried? Don't be. Our next lesson will give you a good idea of what you need to say
and how to say it.

41. Getting a Tan p.271
Both my brother and I are outgoing people. He as well as I likes being in the sun. It goes without
saying, therefore, that we spend a lot of our free time at the beach. We go there to relax as well as to
keep fit. To be frank, though, he no less than I enjoys looking at the beautiful "scenery" around the beach.
However, if you are anything like us, we have a piece of advice for you. Don't forget to rub a good
amount of sunscreen lotion all over your body. Not only does it protect you from getting skin cancer, but it
also helps to keep you nicely tanned. Both my brother and I forgot to do that and now we look like
Afro-Americans rather than Chinese.

Actually, they had known each other for nine months before they met. Thanks to e-mail (electronic mail),
they had been corresponding with each other through their computers.
It all started when Charlene came across Robert's note in her computer. She replied to it. From then on,
they would not only get in touch but flirt with each other. That was how this "hi-tech" romance began. Sound
interesting? Well, if you're looking for a spouse, why not give it a try? Who knows? You might be just as

Not only is Thai boxing violent but it is also bloody. Yet it involves the arts of dance and music. It
is both ugly and beautiful at the same time. That's why it's so exciting to watch.
Thai boxing was created by soldiers over five hundred years ago. The fighter use every part of their
bodies, especially their feet, knees and elbows to strike their opponents. Their deadly style has earned
them respect from other martial artists.
Surprisingly, the fights start off with a graceful dance. The dance is in honor of the boxers' teachers.
There is even a small band which plays along with the dance and during the fight. So, who says tough guys

47. Fast-food Talk p.315
Though it is generally accepted that junk food is not healthful, American fast-food restaurants are
popping up all over the world. These restaurants are for people who are always in a rush. If they don't
have time to sit down to a regular meal, they race over to the nearest McDonald's. There they can quickly
satisfy their hunger.
Because Americans like things done immediately, they often order their food quickly at fast-food
restaurants. They say, "A burger, fries and a coke!" though it's not polite, it's efficient. So when you
are in the States, try to order this way. After all, in America do as the Americans do.

49. Stop Snoring! P.329
Millions of families have trouble falling asleep. Do you know why? There's someone in the family who
has a snoring problem. The problem can be quite serious. In some cases, couples have to sleep in separate
bedrooms. And in others, kids can never study or even watch TV once Dad hits the sack.
So how can we avoid being a snoring nuisance? One way is to avoid eating a big meal before going to bed.
Drinking alcohol near bedtime is something, which also causes snoring. Changing the position in which the
snorer sleeps also helps. Another alternative is to wear ear plugs. But if all these ideas fail, you have
only one choice: Wake the snorer up. Tell him it's his turn to watch you sleep.

M: I understand. Neither did I. But what can we do?
S: I read in a magazine that there's some kind of laser which can cure snoring.
M: I read that, too. But it's pretty expensive. Besides, people who have tried it say it's painful and could
cause voice change.
S: Oh, I didn't know that. I guess there's no hope then.
M: Well, I'll talk to Dad about it.
S: I hope he agrees to do it. Anyway, a voice change will do him a world of good. Have you heard him try to
sniff lately?

51.Thanksgiving p.348
Thanksgiving which falls on the fourth Thursday of November, is one of the biggest American holidays. This
holiday started in the early 1600's after settlers arrived in America. These people who came from Europe
didn't know how to survive in the wild new country. Luckily, they met some friendly American Indians, who
showed them how to hunt turkeys and grow corn. In the fall, after the harvest, the settlers had a great
feast. They invited the Indians to thank them for their help.
Today the tradition continues. On Thanksgiving Day, Americans invite their friends over for a turkey dinner
and give thanks for what they have.

53. Monkeying Around p.361
Thai people believe that keeping monkeys happy brings good luck. So every year there's a day on which
they have a special treat for monkeys called the Annual Monkey Feast. Hundreds of monkeys come from the
mountains to "sit at" long buffet tables which are piled high with bananas, peanuts, watermelons and cabbage.
Monkeys will be monkeys. So they fool around and fights break out. But nobody seems to care. Neither do
the monkeys. They just stare back at the crowds of people who turn out to watch them. Then they continue to
monkey around and have a good time.

55. Life after Death p.376
A 34-year-old married man who died recently had no children. When he died, his wife was not pregnant,
either. But now that he's dead, he has a chance of becoming a father. How's that possible?
After a man dies, his sperm remains alive for some time. In this case, the woman asked doctors to remove
the sperm from her husband's body and store it in a sperm bank. Now, she can have the baby that she has
wanted for a long time. She says it's as if her husband would come back to life again when the child is born.
If that is so, wouldn't that make her husband her son?

B: Don't you think it's time that we had a baby?

B: But it's only natural that married couples have babies.
D: I don't want any brats who'll run around the house breaking things.
B: Then I'll have a baby by myself.

57.New Asian Generation p.388
In the past, the children of Asia had very few choices. A son would usually follow in his father's
footsteps and do the same kind of job as his father. But now, young people have higher education which
opens doors to new kinds of jobs. TV exposes kids to new ideas from other countries.
So, the younger generations of Asians are doing things their parents never dreamed of. They're investing
in stocks or dying their hair purple. Unfortunately, some are also getting into trouble with sex and drugs.
Asian parents whose children are doing all this do have a reason to be worried.

T: You know what? He even buys clothes for me, the styles of which belong to the fifties.

59. About Moral Values p.403
More and more people are forgetting the saying, "Pride comes before a fall." I remember only a few years
ago when things used to be so different. People used to be more modest and humble.
As I looked around at my schoolmate the other day, I realized how different things are. People are so
much more pretentious nowadays. With their fancy clothes and stylish hairdos, they appear too materialistic,
which is not to my liking. I know modernization is necessary for advancement. However, I hope we don't lose
our traditional moral values along the way.
Clothes make the man. 人靠衣装，马靠鞍

K: I guess that's how I attract boys.
J: Yes, but the wrong kind of boys.
K: What do you mean?
J: The type of guys who go out with you wear earrings and have tattoos on their arms.
K: What kind of guys do you think I should go out with then?

61. Touring by Taxi p.415
One of the most convenient but expensive ways to get around a city in any country is by taxi. And in
some cases, tipping is expected.
A taxi driver knows the city like the back of his hand. He can tell you whatever you want to know. At
the same time he'll be your personal tour guide. He can take you wherever you want to go. So, however ,
expensive the taxi ride may be, the advice you get from the driver will certainly be worth it.

63. The Dying Languages p. 435
Today, more people than ever before are speaking to each other through satellite television, cellular
telephones and computers. This means that people from different parts of the world need to be able to
communicate in the same language. That language happens to be English.
Because of this, experts have predicted that more than half of the world's 6,000 languages may die out
in the next century. Already almost all Californian Native American languages are in danger of extinction.
They are being swallowed up by English and other language. It is a pity, but that is one of the prices of
modernization.

Italy is a land of history and culture. And as we all know, the ancient architecture there is
breathtaking. Just as we Chinese are proud of our history and culture, so are the Italians. One of their
traditions is to enjoy a long midday meal. This lengthy lunch can last up to four hours! As you can imagine,
after all the eating, drinking and chatting, they need to take a nap.
Well, this custom may be great for the stomach, but it's not so great for getting things done. If you
happen to be in Italy, don't be surprised if you have to wait for a long time for the banks and post offices
to open.

67. All That Glitters Is Not Gold p. 459
Many people seek fame and wealth. Gul Muhammed sought neither. However, through fate he is famous. He
is so sort that he is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest man in the world. He measures
only 57 centimeters. Though he has fame, he is not rich. In fact, he's too poor to pay his own medical bills.
Recently, when Gul became so ill that he had to be brought to the hospital, he didn't have enough money
for the medicine. What a pitiful man he is! His story tells us that fame and wealth do not always go hand in
hand. Indeed, Gul is a living example of the saying, "All that glitters is not gold."

69. Mean What You Say p.476
Some people say that promises are made to be broken. That certainly seems to be true in this cutthroat
society that we live in. But if you break your promise, you will ruin your reputation and no one will trust
you anymore. So whenever we say, "I give you my word," we should mean it. There is nothing worse than to be
let down by others because they have not kept their promises.
In fact, it isn't so difficult to keep promises. Just remember never to promise anything we are not sure
we can live up to. In short, therefore, to be trustworthy, we should always say what we mean and mean what
we say.

71. Earth in Danger p.488
Seeing is believing. But seeing a huge rock half the size of Earth smash into Jupiter in July 1996 was
incredible. Can you imagine what would happen if Earth collided with a huge space rock? It would be
disastrous. In fact, it is thought that a meteor killed the dinosaurs millions of years ago.
A rock like the one that hit Jupiter could split Earth in two. Doing nothing about it is like waiting
for the end of the world. So scientists plan to start project to identify all space rocks that could hit
Earth.

S: What if they discover that a big one is coming straight for us?
T: In that case, there are two things they can do. They can launch rockets to push the rock off its course.
S: So that it will miss Earth, right?

73. Don't Be a Fish out of Water p.504
Do you sometimes have a hard time understanding what Americans are talking about among themselves? Do
you want to know why? The answer is, Americans are crazy about using slang. They tend to over do it, though.
Otherwise, slang is fun to use. You should try it. And some slang is easy to understand. For example, if
someone is "off the hook," it means that he is no longer in trouble. The "hook" is a fish hook. If a fish is
on the hook, of course, it is in trouble. If it is "off the hook," then it is out of danger. Didn't we tell
you slang is fun? Besides, it should at least help you feel more at home and not like a fish out of water
when you speak to Americans.

Bob, who is Chinese, is speaking to his American classmate, Jill.
J: Hi, Bob. What's up?
B: I don't see anything up in the sky. Do you?
J: No, Bob. "What's up?" is slang for "What's happening?"
B: Well, why didn't you just ask me that in the first place?
J: Get with it, Bob. Everyone uses slang in America. It makes speech more colorful.
B: I'm having enough trouble learning English.
J: But you should give it your best shot, Bob.
B: Why?
J: How else can you get to meet American chicks?
