neutral There must have been some good news in the newspaper. I can ’ t believe that none of the news stories make you happy or excited. neutral Well, there was one good piece of news.

You mean old ladies can do yoga? That's crazy! How old should you be

happiness We've never sold this much before, our growth this year has been phenomenal. We have captured 8 % of the market, up from last year by 120 %. Our strategy is working! happiness not only our annual sales brake a record, but our month by month earnings exceeded our forecast as well. After a two-year slump, we finally back in the black. neutral The company's performance has improved since Wallace became president. He's made our little business into a real lucrative operation. Products are selling like hotcakes. neutral I think our success is partly because of Wallace's contribution, and partly because of our new marketing strategy. Because of the new advertising campaign, we have become the top sellers in the field. happiness Let's hope this stroke of good luck lasts. I hope we are over our financial difficulties for good. happiness

Thank your encouragement.

Thank your help. neutral You know, all things are easier said rather then done

happiness How about tango? happiness Oh, I like it. It's such a beautiful dance, but I can't do it well. What about you? happiness Tango is my favorite. Anything but hip-hop or the foxtrot. ( the music has stopped ) happiness Thank you for the dance. happiness My pleasure. Let's go and have a drink. happiness

OK, then. Do you want some more wine?

OK! neutral Hi, Mary. You look pretty in this dress.It looks

neutral Then my son drove into a tree. neutral I'm sorry to hear that. neutral The dog bit the delivery boy. neutral What a pity! neutral And a storm blew our roof away. neutral

Sorry, mum. But we are all fine here

My wife will be glad of an excuse like sadness Oh., dear

happiness And my first nephew. He looks a lot like you, mum. He does. happiness Do you think so? Well, I guess. He does look a lot like me. Oh, he ’ s got Richard ’ s eyes though. happiness Yes, he does have Richard ’ s eyes. The baby even looks like you than Richard does. happiness Well, children usually resemble their parents. happiness It ’ s true. Michelle is a lot like Henry in so many ways. And she is shy with new people just like he is. happiness

You are such an good grandpa, Nancy.

She is indeed. 24th September, the day after Michael ’ s birthday-The

neutral For the most part, yes. Some of the rides are bit too scary for me, though. happiness If you don't think twice about the rides and go on every ride that you can, you'll have a good time. happiness Even the roller coasters that go through tunnels in the dark? happiness Even those. It'll be very romantic, I think. You'll have loads of fun. happiness Thanks for the advice. I'll talk to my fiance about it tonight. happiness

Goodbye, Mary. Have a nice day!

Oh, he will really enjoy himself at Cindy-land. disgust

neutral when do you plan on studying for those exams? neutral most students just cram the night forehead. neutral do you think that's a good idea? neutral no, I think I should study a little bit at a time, starting a few weeks before the exam. neutral that sounds like a good idea.

I can ask my teacher or class mates.

yeah! Check my text books and make sure I understand everything. When in doubt, check with another

neutral I promise I will personally guard every single one and they will come back in perfect condition. neutral I'll tell you what. Your class can rent them from me for the night and buy back any damaged ones. neutral That sounds fair. That's still cheaper than paying a band to come play for us. neutral Not as fun though. A live band is way more exciting! neutral Our class doesn't have enough money. We already checked into it. neutral

Well, then why not make an offer.

That sounds good to me.

Yeah. 5 o ’ clock in our car on Sunday evening?

neutral We need to solve the problem of air pollution before we destroy the atmosphere. There ’ s lots of clean, modern technology, but companies in developed countries say it ’ s expensive. Developing countries put more emphasis on economic development than on environment protection. neutral Everyone is looking at the issue in the short term, rather than the long term. It ’ s the same with the destruction of the rainforests. Countries and companies just want the wood. They ’ re not thinking about the long-term damage to the forests. We should also remember that the forests are an important natural habitat for thousands of species of animal and plant life. neutral In other parts of the world, especially in Africa, there is a problem with desertification. Climate change and over-farming are causing farmland to turn into desert. In means that people cannot grow enough food. neutral It also means that people sometimes fight over the famp 3land that remains. Damaging the environment actually leads to conflict between people. neutral Have you ever thought about joining an organization committed to protecting the environment? You could get involved with projects to improve the environment. neutral

I think one reason why most companies haven't done much so far has been because they don worry

Yes. That would be fantastic! What do they usually spend time doing? Do they take their

surprise I still can't believe it! So, did you go to cooking school or something? neutral Yeah. I went to California to study. surprise Really? How long did you stay there? neutral I was there between 88 and 90. neutral And what did you do after that? neutral

After graduation. My major was food science, which means the study of how things are prepared with

When the year started, we had a big party in my house-a kind of barbecue

happiness Yes, Deborah and I are going to buy a new home in Woodlawn. happiness Congratulations! That ’ s wonderful. I bet both of you are quite happy. neutral Well, we have always dreamed of owning our own home, but real estate 1 in this area is extremely expensive. neutral I understand. That ’ s why Christopher and I want to find a place in a small town, far from the city. neutral That ’ s a good idea if you can find employment nearby. neutral

You might consider looking into apartments for rent near Washington, D C. Our company has been doing

Yeah, it would be great. We definitely don't like living in crowded places!

neutral What did it say? neutral It says the book is on the shelf, but I didn ’ t find it there. neutral I can always borrow the book from another library. neutral You can do that? neutral I ’ ll make the call and contact you when it gets in. happiness

And fill up the gas when you return the car to us as it is not included. happiness OK. I'll try a Pinto. I want to rent a car for one week. happiness All right, sir. May I have your driver's license? happiness

Here it comes. Thank you very much.

Oh, here. Thank god! surprise Wait? You don't know how

neutral Which film shall we see? neutral There is nothing good at the moment.Let's do something different.Would you like to go to a concert? happiness Yes, I'd love to.Here is a good one, Mozart and Beethoven.It's on the Festival Hall. happiness Fine! Do you want anything to eat now? neutral No, I'm not hungry. neutral

Let me have your ticket please, Miss.

Let me have some money then. happiness Wow! Look what it says here

neutral Do you eat any special food for the festival? neutral Yes, dumpling is a must.There is also other food.For example, people eat chicken for good luck. neutral That's interesting. I'm told the Chinese firework is very beautiful, isn't it? neutral Yes, it's really wonderful! happiness Oh, great! I hope I can spend this Spring Festival with you here in Beijing. happiness

It will be an pleasure.

It will be fine, so maybe we should make sure of that. surprise You

neutral I took the red ones just before lunch and the white ones just after lunch. neutral I think it's time you took another does of each. What would you like to drink with them? neutral just some water, please. Do you have any ointment for my nose? It feels so itchy after blowing my nose so much. neutral sure, I'll just go and get it now. what would you like to eat? Some soup? neutral that sounds good. neutral

how many plates do we serve yourself from this day? Two or Three. We can always order

Yeah, Yi-jun saw her inside. neutral All these memories of prom night came back to me. I had to be alone. You remember that night? neutral

Of course, it is our wedding day.

Oh. yeah, it is still clear as a bell for our wedding dance

Actually, could you recommend what to eat here? I've never been here before. neutral Sure. Well, the avocado sandwich is delicious, and it's the healthiest thing on the menu. Personally, I think the beef salad is the tastiest choice. I usually get that. Also, the milkshakes are the best milkshakes in town! happiness Well, thanks for the suggestions. happiness

You have really made my day.

It looks really crowded inside. 20 minutes'wait?! Why would anyone choose an

neutral Dad, what's the date? neutral It's December eighteenth. neutral In seven days it will be Christmas Day. neutral Yes, I know that. happiness So, can I buy some new shoes as a Christmas present? happiness

Oh, you have such an good idea!

Why not? disgust Oh. God! Not another pair of s sho

neutral It will be. And today is, too. I just talked to the airlines... neutral They're going to give us back the seats? neutral No, they're giving us discount tickets on a honeymoon package in... surprise Hawaii? My dream honeymoon destination? neutral You got it! We'll fly there directly from Texas. happiness

Sounds good! So we still get married?

That would take less than twenty-four hours. disgust... To think we

neutral People now like a small family composed of two parents and one child. neutral That is called a nuclear family. neutral I don't like such a family. neutral What kind of family are you like? neutral I like a family composed of many people. It includes grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, and children. neutral

Do any other relatives live together?

How do we call that family? neutral We can name it as an expandable

neutral Good morning, Loans. neutral Good morning, Mr. Smith. happiness I would like to compliment you on your diligence. happiness Well, thank you, Mr. Smith. But I was just doing my job. happiness Yes. And we're proud of you, Loans. happiness

neutral I thought you had been to Australia too. neutral No, but I ’ m planning on visiting Australia and new Zealand soon. I ’ Ve heard that they are beautiful countries. Which is the most beautiful country you ’ Ve been to? neutral I think I ‘ d say norway. It has many picturesque fjords, waterfalls, and mountains. neutral Isn ’ t it really cold there? neutral Well, the north of Norway is almost always cold, but further south it can be fairly warm in summer. It ’ s a wet country, so there ’ s snow almost everywhere in winter. neutral

How long did your vacation last?

Have people told you about how dangerous your trip would be? happiness You have fun

neutral Alison, would you like to have some more? neutral No thanks. I have had enough. neutral Actually you haven't have much. neutral To tell you the truth, I am on the diet. neutral That sounds ridiculous. Why? neutral

As far as health is concerned. I think it important not only for me, but also for those

Well, hope this will help your life be much easier. This small gift just stands as a symbol

neutral I bet they love it really. Sure, they complain about it, but that just gets them more publicity, doesn ’ t it? neutral I think that few of the show biz stars want any publicity for themselves. They only want it for their films. neutral No way! They want publicity for themselves, so that they get invited to make more films, go to lots of cocktail parties, and even make albums! They have such an easy life. They don ’ t even pay for drinks when they go to a cocktail party. neutral Show biz stars have plenty of expenses. That ’ s why they need so much money. They need million of dollars to buy big, seclude houses and wonderful dresses. I bet most show biz stars would prefer to wear jeans and a t-shirt, but they can ’ t because their managers force them to wear clothes they don ’ t like. neutral I don ’ t understand how you can have any sympathy for show biz stars. They ’ re overpaid, over-ambitious, and over-adored. neutral

It takes talent, Vicky. You cannot expect everyone else in your company office not do something useful

What? You said your mom was in show biz, too. How did she feel at getting nothing

neutral Oh yes! Sometimes it rains very heavily.How about here in Beijing? neutral There's a lot of rain in summer, but it seldom rains in autumn. neutral I feel it's rather dry here. neutral That's true.

Yes, my family lives near Canton.

Yes, and that has something to be with. neutral Which city are we near

happiness Cool! What kind of Chinese painting do you prefer, free sketch or claborate-style painting? neutral I prefer free sketch, especially the landscape paintings. I can always feel peace and harmony from those landscape paintings. neutral That's true. Chinese art stresses the harmony between man and nature, which is an important part of China's traditional culture. happiness I love this art exhibition! happiness So do I. Let ’ s go to other areas to see what they have got, shall we? happiness

Yes, it looks so charming!

Sure. happiness Artwork has no fixed style because each creator keeps his own

neutral Look at the ice there hanging from the eaves. neutral And the streets are covered with snow. neutral Do you know what the temperature is today? neutral I missed today's weather forecast over the TV. disgust It feels like ten degrees below zero at least. I don't mind the cold weather but I do hate it when it gets slippery. happiness

neutral What a pity. It was quite exciting. Both teams played very well. neutral How did it finish? neutral It finished in a draw. What was the film like? neutral It was quite good. But. I missed the beginning of it because I had to eat first. neutral Did your wife enjoy it? neutral

Yes, she enjoyed watching with me.

happiness You bet she liked! She really enjoyed it.What do you think is more interesting,

neutral You shall just take it in surprise. neutral I've tried, but she keeps pushing my buttons. neutral Try to pull it together, Vernassa. I am sure things will turn note, ok? neutral I am not. she is no picnic. neutral Well. if you think I can help, let me know. neutral

She has a face like an hour glass.

Most importantly, I practice every chance I get. neutral It ’ s a good idea to have a radio, isn ’ t it? neutral Sure. It ’ s like understanding on the telephone — — you can ’ t see the speaker! It ’ s great for improving listening comprehension. neutral It takes a long time to learn a language, doesn ’ t it? neutral

You certainly are right about that! sadness Wow, how many lessons

neutral I'm fine, thanks, how about yourself? neutral Things couldn't be better.Where are you going now? neutral I am heading for the library.

After such time, and then?

After a while! surprise What? That ’ s not what it says on this

neutral What methods do you use to conserve water? neutral Water is rationed. We can only use a certain amount each month. It means that we cannot use some modern household items, like washing machines. They use too much water. neutral I see. I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution. neutral Yes, I agree. The air here is much more polluted than in my country. Of course, my country is more agricultural and has much less industry. neutral We have reduced emission of air pollutants in recent years, but cars are still a major source of them. Factories have become cleaner as stricter environment pollution law have been introduced. neutral

Have there any changes in climate?

Do local government try to discourage people from using their car's? sad

neutral It might work. I ’ ll have to hear it.Show me what you ’ Ve done. neutral It was horrible! I played play it much better at home! neutral It ’ s just nerves. Just play the right hand for now.

What about drinking some tea instead of sleep, if I may ask? You look so relax.

happiness I do feel like a trip to Florida on such a gloomy day in New York, to enjoy the sunshine while lying on the beaches of Florida. happiness That's a great idea. It's the best season for tourists in Florida. You can also get a good sun-tan there. neutral But if the sunshine is too strong, it might damage the eyes and the skin. neutral You can put on your shades. And remember don't make your skin look like a tomato. Or else after that your skin will begin to flake off. You may even wind up with skin cancer. neutral I see.

You are pulling my legs, Jane!

No, not really... but that would certainly help! 105

neutral I suppose you like cinematography and costumes and that sort of stuff? neutral Yes, I do. The look of a picture is very important. neutral I think sound is even more important!

Hey, let ’ s pull out our old files!

neutral There is something wrong with my girlfriend. neutral What's the trouble? neutral The department manager is all over her. He says he loves her. neutral What about your friend? Did she fall for him? neutral Of course not! She thinks he's an apple-head. She doesn't like an apple-headed man, you know. neutral

But what can I do, Steven?

Why do they say if a woman likesthe apples, then she has to go after the

neutral There ’ s problem with my bank statement. There ’ s a mistake on it. I also need to withdraw some money some the ATM. neutral I have to exchange some money. neutral that ’ s right. You ’ re going away next week. neutral I also want to see if my salary has been paid into my bank account. There was a problem last week. neutral I have to pay my credit bill too.

What other jobs do you need doing?

Exactly how much do you owe them, Mr Anderson. happiness Thanks for

neutral People can ’ t have it both ways. If you live in the country, it is often less convenient. If you live in a city, it is noisy, but there ’ s more to do. happiness I would love to be surrounded by hills and streams. They ’ re so much better to look at than concrete, rows of parked cars and tall buildings. happiness I would love to hear the birds singing and feel the fresh breeze on my face. When the wind blows in the city, you get dust in your mouth and in your eyes. happiness The view from the hill is so beautiful and relaxing. There ’ s so sign of pollution. The village looks so peaceful. neutral Just remember that in that village there ’ s nothing to do. There ’ s not even a pub or restaurant. There ’ s just one small shop with a poor selection of goods. happiness

In this way, we see eye-toe!

neutral That sucks. He must feel depressed. neutral Yeah. He's been sitting in his room everyday for the last 4 days. neutral Why don't we take him out? We can try to take his mind off of it.

Hi. This is Alex calling! How are things going with your brother today? Is he still doing

neutral Well, I hope they're paying you the big bucks for all this work... neutral No, not exactly, I'm working for minimum wage.And they don't give extra pay for overtime. Overtime is our own time. surprise What?! Isn't there a law against that, I think there is some legislation that requires employers to give their employees a fair rate of wages. You should know your rights! If you are putting in so many hours, they should give you some kind of compensation. neutral They do give bonuses at the end of the year for the employees with highest productivity numbers, but frankly, it's not much of an incentive. They give us a bonus of ten dollars. anger That's just wrong! why don't you just quit? neutral

Why? It's fun here...

Why would I want another position when my current job pays me enough money? 0 neutral

neutral I'd like to reserve a table for three at 6:30 this evening. neutral Let me check. Hold on, please... Yes, that's fine. Smoking or nonsmoking area? neutral Nonsmoking, please. neutral All right. May I have your name? neutral My surname is Gao. neutral

OK then, thank you for your kindness.
