Food for Thought
  There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
  When the door of happiness close,another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
  Don't go for looks;they can deceive.Don't go for wealth;even that fades away.Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.
  Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go ; be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do .
  May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you stong,enough sorrow to keep you humance,enough hope to make you happy.
  The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
  Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
  When you were born, you were crying ane everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die. you're the one who is smiling and everyont around you is crying.

Rope or Ox?

The man in the prison asked a new comer why he was sent there. The new comer answered: "I am out of luck, I think. A few days ago I was walking in the street when I saw a piece of dirty rope. I thought nobody wanted it and so I picked it up and took it home."

"But it is not against the law to pick up a piece of rope and take home!"

"I told you I had bad luck, didn't I?" the man sighed, "The trouble is that I didn't notice there was an ox at the other end of that rope."

The ruler of an ancient kingdom wanted to disprove the statement that the men of his domain were ruled by their wives．He had all the males in his kingdom brought before him and warned that any man who did not tell the truth would be punished severely．

Then he asked all the men who obeyed their wives' directions and counsel to step to the left side of the hall． All the men did so but one little man who moved to the right．

“It's good to see，”said the king，“that we have one real man in the kingdom．Tell these chickenhearted dunces why you alone among them stand on the right side of the hall．”

“Your Majesty，”came the reply in a squealing voice，“it is because before I left home my wife told me to keep out of crowds．”

A teacher said to her class：

“Who was the first man？”

“George Washington，”a little boy shouted promptly．

“How do you make out that George Washington was the first man？”asked the teacher，smiling indulgently．

“Because，”said the little boy，“he was first in war，first in peace，and first in the hearts of his countrymen．”

But at this point a larger boy held up his hand．

“Well，” said the teacher to him，“who do you think was the first man？”

“I don't know what his name was，”said the larger boy，“but I know it wasn't George Washington，ma’am，because the history book says George Washington married a widow，so，of course，there must have been a man ahead of him．”

My forever valentine

The traditional holidays in our house when I was a child were spent timing elaborate meals around football games. My father tried to make pleasant chitchat and eat as much as he could during halftime. At Christmas he found time to have a cup or two of holiday beer and do this holly-shaped bow tie. But he didn't truly shine until valentines day.

　　I don't know whether it was because work at the office slowed during February or because the football season was over. But valentines day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thought of him as my "valentine man".

　　My first recollection of the magic he could bring to valentines day came when I was six. For several days I had been cutting out valentines for my classmates. Each of us was to decorate a "mailbox" and put it on our desk for others to give us cards. That box and its contents ushered in a succession of bittersweet memories of my entrance into a world of popularity contests marked by the number of cards received, the teasing of boyfriends/girlfriends and the tender care I gave to the card from the cutest boy in class.

　　That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift- wrapped package at my chair. The card was signed "love, dad", and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to represent my birthstone, a ruby. There is little difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember wearing that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world could not surpass.

　　As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart-shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed "love, dad" .In those years my "thank-yous" became more of a perfunctory response. The cards seemed less important, and I took for granted that the valentine would always be there. Long past the days of having a "mailbox" on my desk, I had placed my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others”, and "love, dad" just didn't seem quite enough.

　　If my father knew then that he had been replaced, he never let it show. If he sensed any disappointment over valentines that didn’t arrive for me, he just tried that much harder to create a positive atmosphere, giving me an extra hug and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter.

　　My mailbox eventually had a rural address, and the job of hands delivering candy and cards was relegated to the U.S. Postal service. Never in ten years was my father’s package late-- nor was it on the valentines day eight years ago when I reached into the mailbox to find a card addressed to me in my mother's handwriting.

　　It was the kind of card that comes in an inexpensive assortment box sold by a child going door-to-door to try to earn money for a school project. It was the kind of card that you used to get from a grandmother or an aging aunt or, in this case, a dying father. It was the kind of card that put a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes because you knew the person no longer was able to go out and buy a real valentine. It was a card that signaled this would be the last you would receive from him.

　　The card had a photograph of tulips on the outside, and on the inside my mother had printed "happy valentines day". Beneath it, scrawled in barely legible handwriting, was "love, dad".

　　His final card remains on my bulletin board today. It's a reminder of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of love with a generosity of spirit, simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.

Those things never die, nor does the memory of a man who never stopped being my valentine.

This is your life!
This is your life is one of the most popular small-talk programs on American television. Every week a leading personality is invited to a television studio, without knowing that he or she will be the subject of the program. The host starts the program with a short introduction and then meets the person at the entrance of a specified （指定的）studio and says, “This is your life!” The person then meets friends and relatives from his or her past in the very studio. Studio B is where today’s program is recorded. The program begins at 7:30. It’s 6:15 now and the director, Simon is checking the preparations with his production assistant, Amanda. The subject of tonight’s show will be a world-leading actor, Jackie Chan. The host, as usual, will be Larry King.

Simon:    Let’s just check the arrangements. We’re bringing Jackie Chan here in a studio car.
Amanda: Is he informed what program he’s coming to?
Simon:       No 行 he thinks he’s coming to a discussion program!
Amanda: Great! Now, the driver has been told to arrive at exactly 7:25, hasn’t he?
Simon:       Right! The program begins at seven thirty. At that time Jackie will be walking to the studio. Larry King will start his introduction at 7:31, and Jackie will arrive at 7:32. Larry will meet him at the studio entrance ...
Amanda: Will Camera B be there?
Simon:    Yes. Then he’ll take him to that seat. It’ll be on Camera A. Jackie will be sitting there during the whole program.
Amanda: Where will Larry be sitting?
Simon:    For most of the show Larry will be standing in the middle, and he’ll be on Camera C.  The guests will come through that door, talk to Larry and Jackie ... and then sit over there. Now, is that all clear?
Amanda: Yes ... there’s just one thing.
Simon: Well, what is it?
Amanda: Who’s going to look after the guests during the show?
Simon:    Jason is.
Amanda: And where will they be waiting during the show?
Simon:    In the dressing-room, as usual. Jason will be waiting with them, and he’ll be watching the show on the monitor. He’ll tell them two minutes before they enter.

Kept within a few clicks of hearth and home
(Cybercafes keep far-flung travelers within a few clicks of hearth and home)
In Rome, you can read your email while your dirty clothes wash, soak and dry in machines beside you. In Helsinki(The capital and largest city of Finland), you can surf the Web while still sweating from a simmer in a nearby sauna. Some people travel to sample the finest of foreign cuisines. Some seek sublime art to appreciate or sacred architecture to celebrate. Me, I’ve come to think of myself as an international connoisseur of Internet café.
In my past five months overseas, I’ve surfed the information superhighway in Swaziland, driven the data expressway in Estonia and cruised the communication causeway in Croatia. And I can say this: Gone are the days when postcards were the preferred method of making those at home envious of your adventures abroad. Set foot on the road to faraway places and you’ll soon find that cyber café are an inescapable part of the contemporary travel experience.
Just ask Michelle Amundson from Attleboro(A city of southeast Massachusetts), Mass. I found this 23-year-old parked in front of a flat-screen monitor at Big Net café --the biggest Internet café in Vienna — exchanging love notes with her boyfriend back home. Michelle has been on vacation 10 days and has emailed him every one of them. Think of myself: My (much) better half is traveling with me and still of the 35 cities we’ve visited thus far, I’ve used cyber café in precisely 71.4 percent of them.
When I left the US, I vowed I wouldn’t eat at a single McDonald’s no matter how cheap and soothingly familiar the food might be. I’ve stayed true to that promise. But I admit when I slip into an Internet café I feel just a wee bit like I’m taking a bite of a Big Mac.
I comfort myself, however, with the discovery that no two cyber café are alike. It’s hard to know where to begin in Prague(The capital and largest city of the Czech Republic), a city suffering a particularly virulent strain of cyber café-itis. At The Globe you can surf the Net while listening to a jazz trio. At Bohemian Bagel you can order up the namesake roll and a cup of joe (brewed coffee) along with a side of cyber crack. And at Krakatit, a “science fiction ” café you can surf the Web surrounded by pictures of dragons and spaceships and robots, oh my.
Some people predict that cyber café, like postcards, will soon find themselves a relic as mobile phones with high-speed Internet access replace them as the new traveler’s darling. That means no matter where we are we’ll always have the World Wide Web in our pocket. And no matter where we are, we’ll never be more than a button press (or two) from the comforts of home.

Script and Answers to Self-study
Open to everything
Anchor: Believe it or not, we are seeing many foreign students in our town. We’re interested in their life and study here. Today we’ve invited the administrative specialist for foreign exchange Jeff Hein, a host mother Teri Benedetti, and an exchange student Aki to join our talk. Mr. Hein, why do so many foreign students come to our town?
Jeff Hein:: They arrive here through programs operated by nonprofit placement services. Most of them are here because they know someone here and are able to live with them. Or, their parents have done work here and had met someone, and the young people live with those families. It’s especially true for our high schools.
Anchor: Where are they from?
Jeff Hein:: They’re from Australia, China, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines.
Anchor: Aki, where are you from and how did you come here?
Aki:    I’m from Korea. I’ve visited the United States on vacation twice before. I want to do something else after 10 years of schooling back home. I learned about World Heritage at my school in Korea and I applied and this program arranged my stay here.
Anchor: Mrs. Benedetti, how did you come upon the idea of hosting a foreign student?
Teri Benedetti: My husband and I applied to host an exchange student partly to broaden our children’s horizons. It’s good for our children to know the United States is not the only country in the world, and that everyone has the same feelings inside, but we live in different cultures.
Anchor: How did your children feel about living with a foreign student?
Teri Benedetti: They were really very excited about having a new older brother. It offers them a great opportunity to be exposed to another lifestyle and another language.
Anchor: Mr. Hein, what do the foreign students learn here in our schools?
Jeff Hein:: They’re held to the same academic standards as any other student here. They’re required to be proficient in English and take a course load that includes math, reading, English, science and history classes. But the credits they earn here don’t necessarily transfer back to their home schools. As a result, the time exchange students spend here often amounts to a year off of their studies. So this year is basically language practice and learning American culture.
Anchor: Are exchange students welcome in our schools?
Jeff Hein:: Certainly. Learning is a two-way street. Our students learn as much from the international students as they learn from us. They all deal with many of the same things, even though they’re from different cultures and different lands.
Anchor: Aki, what do you particularly want to do here?
Aki:    Just to see the country and another culture. I’m open to everything.

Script

Clothes make the man
“Clothes make the man? runs the old proverb. If you believe that, you might feel that clothing enhances appearance, increases independence, allows for function, and provides comfort. What’s more, clothing that is neat and clean, fits well, and feels good can boost anyone’s morale.
People express their personality in many ways, including through their clothing, hair style, and accessories. That’s why clothes often define the person. Clothes can indicate personality, status, and attitude to life. A man may have worn a beard all his life, a woman may have worn makeup. If their ability to choose their appearance is taken away, then an opportunity for independence/individuality vanishes. Keeping some familiar clothes and personal articles helps them retain some sense of self-control over what is happening. Research shows that when a woman dresses for success, it does not guarantee success, but if she dresses poorly or inappropriately, it almost always ensures failure.
Our clothes are very much part of our personality. Clothing protects people from humidity, heat, and cold, and helps them feel physically comfortable. Clothing at the same time gives the wearer a sense of well-being. It tells something about the person. Clothing also affects the way others see, think of, and react to the person. A person can be comfortable or uncomfortable wearing a certain garment or type of clothing in a social situation. Social comfort may be involved when a person wishes to “make an impression” through the clothing he or she wears. So, clothes should be carefully chosen so as not to reveal what is within.
Before making choices about clothing, it is important to understand how clothing affects people. For example, making decisions about clothing can increase older people’s sense of independence and help them feel better about themselves. The stereotype says older people don’t care about their appearance. But, research shows that most older people think of themselves as younger than they are, their sense of fashion reflects their youthful thinking and the fashion of earlier years when they were younger, and they like clothing that looks good on them. Clothing can help older people feel better about themselves and present a positive image to those around them. Sending positive appearance messages may increase older people’s opportunities for social interaction.

Blind love
You can hardly blame my parents for being so disapproving of my teenage boyfriends. During my adolescent years I was strangely attracted to losers and oddballs. My parents couldn’t believe the bizarre specimens of boyhood that I regularly dragged home.
One of my first “romances” was with greasy-haired David, whose drug problem did not go down too well with my family members. So why did David seem so attractive to me? Simple, my parents strongly disapproved of him.
There is nothing new, of course, in parental disapproval of teenage love interests. Nor is there anything new in teenagers falling in love with the biggest losers around. Adolescent girls with eccentric boyfriends are essentially screaming out to their parents, “if you can’t accept that I’m old enough to make my own decisions, I’ll just have to prove it to you in a way that you are sure to notice? So why do parents fail to realize that the more they oppose unsuitable boyfriends, the more their daughters will pick them out? After all, did my mother really think that in my heart of hearts I truly fancied the losers? Had she simply smiled and said sweetly, “What a darling boy. Let’s invite him round for Sunday lunch”,  he would have been given the boot in no time.
It is bad enough bringing home a complete loser, but when you date someone twice your age it is guaranteed to push family relations to the limit. The parents of Mary Russell encountered this when their 16-year-old daughter entered into a relationship with her 32-year-old teacher. “There were a lot of arguments between her and me and her dad about it not being right,” said Mrs. Russell.

Now I realize my mother’s initial disapproval of my teenage romances is a universal feeling. Parents want children to fulfill their own dreams. Their hopes were fairly normal: they wanted to witness my wedding vows; they wanted to see their daughter settled down in a well-established family; they wanted me to get married and have kids.

First kiss from an ogre?
Lord Farquaad wants to be a king, but the premise is that he must marry a princess. Shrek, an ugly-looking man, regarded as an ogre by most of the people, wants to lead a peaceful life in his own swamp. The two make a deal. Shrek is sent to rescue Princess Fiona, who has a curse upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love’s first kiss. The princess is locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. She waits in the dragon’s keep for her true love and true love’s first kiss. In order to get his swamp back, Shrek takes adventures to rescue Princess Fiona. The following conversation occurs among the princess and Shrek, and Shrek’s chatterbox companion, a donkey.

            (Shrek manages to rescue Princess Fiona.)
Princess: You did it. You rescued me! You are amazing. You’re ... You’re wonderful. You’re ... a little (1) unorthodox I’ll admit. But your deed is great, and your heart is pure. I am eternally (2) in your debt.
   (Donkey clears throat)

Princess: Please. I would like to (4) look upon the face of my rescuer.
Shrek:       No, no. You wouldn’t.
Princess: But how will you kiss me with your helmet on?
Shrek:       What! That wasn’t in the (5) job description.
Donkey:    Maybe it’s a perk.
Princess:    No, it’s destiny. Oh, you must know (6) how it goes. A princess locked in a tower and beset by a fire-breathing dragon is rescued by a brave knight, and then they (7) share love’s first kiss.
Donkey:    Hmm? With Shrek? You think ... Wait, wait. You think that Shrek is your true love?

Real World Speaking

Answers for Reference
On the one hand, parents are the first teachers of their own child. They shoulder a great part of the responsibility for the growth of the child. In terms of law, parents are the legitimate guardians of their child. They have the right to give their child proper guidance. The young cannot tell right from wrong. It will be harmful if parents let things drift. On the other hand, if parents are too deeply involved into their child’s personal business, it will worsen the parent-child relationship. Inappropriate ways of interference in a child’s life may ruin the harmonious family life.
Parents and children need patient communication, instead of cold war, to close the generation gap. Since many factors may contribute to that phenomenon, the two sides should make joint efforts to overcome it.

Answers for Reference
On the one hand, parents are the first teachers of their own child. They shoulder a great part of the responsibility for the growth of the child. In terms of law, parents are the legitimate guardians of their child. They have the right to give their child proper guidance. The young cannot tell right from wrong. It will be harmful if parents let things drift. On the other hand, if parents are too deeply involved into their child’s personal business, it will worsen the parent-child relationship. Inappropriate ways of interference in a child’s life may ruin the harmonious family life.
Parents and children need patient communication, instead of cold war, to close the generation gap. Since many factors may contribute to that phenomenon, the two sides should make joint efforts to overcome it.

Script and Answers to Self-study

She wants a “wife”
I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am a wife. And, (1) not altogether incidentally, I am a mother. Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene (2) fresh from a recent divorce. He had a child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. As I thought about him while I (3) was ironing one evening, it suddenly (4) occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?
I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to (5) keep track of the children’s doctor and dentist appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children’s clothes and (6) keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturing attendant to my children, who (7) arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate social life (8) with their peers, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc. I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care, because, of course, I cannot miss classes at school. (9) Needless to say, my wife will arrange and pay for the care of the children while she is working.
I want a wife who will take care of my (10) physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will (11) pick up after me. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, (12) replaced when needed, and who will see to it that my (13) personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals. I want a wife who will not bother me with (14) rambling complaints about a wife’s duties. But I want a wife who will listen to me when I feel the need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my (15) course of studies. And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I have written them.

Real World Listening

1. Predict
Answer
The husband fell in love with another woman but he still loved his wife. The relationship between the man and the other woman kind of opened him up and improved the relationship with his wife, as the wife commented. The other woman whom he fell in love with didn’t expect such a relationship but she wanted a family and she wanted a “wife”/ family to take care of her children.

2. Get the Main Ideas
Answers
1. He claimed that he loved his wife, too, plus the latter is the mother of his two children, and that he didn’t want to break the family.
2. 1) The relationship between the husband and wife improved, in a way.
2) The relationship with Patti kind of “opened up” the man.
3. Though she didn’t grow up picturing it for her marriage, Patti has no other way out but to accept the fact.

Script

A three-way marriage?
Man: I had been married to Mindy for eight years when Patty and I ...
Reporter: You and Patty work in the same firm as lawyers?
Man: Yes.
Reporter: And you fell in love with Patty?
Man: I did.
Reporter: You were no longer in love with Mindy?
Man: Well, the fact is, my marriage did seem dead. I was meeting Patty, I fell in love with her. I thought of leaving Mindy, but I realized I couldn’t, I loved her too, plus she is the mother of my two children, and I didn’t want to break up the family.
Reporter: You were in love with two women?
Man: Yes. And I could either tear things apart or I could try to bring everything together. So t he three of us sat down and talked and we decided to try this.
Reporter: This being the three of you.
Man: Yes. That was two years ago, and since then, Patti and Mindy have become close, and we decided to have a child together.
Reporter: And you think that justifies you in being joined in matrimony, as a threesome?
Man: Well, we are a family, Miss Lake. Conventional? No. But we’re happy, we’re devoted to each other, the kids live in a home with love and trust and security. How many people in this room can make the same claim?

Mindy: At first I was devastated-- my husband having an affair, I was destroyed.
Reporter: How did you respond?
Mindy: I cried for about two weeks. I think one of the reasons why it was so painful is that, it came at a time when our relationship seemed stronger than ever ...
Reporter: While he was engaged with another woman?
Mindy: I didn’t know that. All I knew is that we were laughing together again, talking, being affectionate-- that had been missing for a long time.
Reporter: Just a second. You said that you were laughing, talking and loving each other more once he started this affair?
Mindy: Strangely enough.
Reporter: Why, do you think?
Mindy: Well, his relationship with Patti kind of opened him up. Maybe that helped my relationship with him ... I can’t sort it out.

Patti: I would be the evil other woman, yes.
Reporter: You seem to wear the badge proudly.
Patti: I work. I wanted a family. I didn’t really want to turn my kids over to a nanny. As nuts as it sounds, in addition to getting a husband, I am marrying the mother of my children.
Reporter: And it, it does sound nuts.
Patti: You don’t have to tell me that ...
Reporter: Surely you didn’t grow up picturing this for your marriage?
Patti: No ..
Reporter: You sounded a little sad with that answer.
Patti: I grew up with the same dreams as everybody else. I dreamed of my wedding day, had visions of my little house, my garden ... It didn’t work out exactly according to plan ...
