　　M: Good evening. What can I do for you?

　　W: Hi. I’d like to book a double room with TV and Internet service.

　　(Text 2)

　　M: When can I go back to work?

　　W: I suggest that you wait and rest until your temperature goes back to normal.

　　(Text 3)

　　M: Mom, I do love dogs. They are so cute and smart. Can I have one?

　　W: Well, don’t you think they are rather noisy and dirty? How about a turtle?

　　M: No, Mom! Turtles are ugly and so lazy.

　　(Text 4)

　　M: I’m going to move.

　　W: Move again? Where this time?

　　M: It’s a new apartment on Victoria Street,

　　W: Oh, that’s good. You don’t have to leave home so early every morning to get to school on time.

　　(Text 5)

　　M: May, have you seen the new iPad 4? It looks so useful. You can surf the Internet and watch movies on it.

　　W: Yes, I already have one. I also use it to play games and read news online.

　　M: Oh, that’s so nice.

　　W: I hear that they’re on sale this week. Why not get one for yourself?

　　(Text 6)

　　M: What did you do after graduation?

　　W: I’d planned to be a teacher, but then I was offered a good job doing marketing, so I changed my mind.

　　M: Sounds like you’re happy with your decision.

　　W: I am. I enjoy my job very much. By the way, have you not had any job offers yet?

　　M: I had one, but I didn’t like the job very much. I’d also really wanted to attend graduation school, but I was afraid I couldn’t pay that much money.

　　W: I think you need to make a decision, stick to it and don’t be afraid of difficulties.

　　(Text 7)

　　W: Look, Jack! Here’s a job that might interest you.

　　M: Are you sure? The last job interview you sent me to was really a disaster.

　　W: Well, look! It’s a big company. You might get to travel.

　　M: What kind of company is it, though?

　　W: Um, let’s see. It is a newspaper office. They say the pay is really good. And oh, look! They give you a car to travel around. That’s not bad, is it?

　　M: Do they say anything about needing to have experience of a journalist?

　　W: No, they want someone young and energetic. Oh, yes they want a university graduate, so that’s OK. You’ve been to university. The only thing is that you have to travel, but then that’s what the company car is for.

　　M: Perhaps I will have a close look at it.

　　(Text 8)

　　W: John, when you were little, what did you dream you’d grow up to be?

　　M: Oh, I dreamed that I’d be a pilot when I grew up.

　　W: So what happened? Did you just lose interest in being a pilot?

　　M: No. My parents said it was too dangerous, and they wanted me to find a safer job. How about you? What did you dream of becoming when you were a little girl?

　　W: When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a great scientist, but now, as you can see, I’m just a common office clerk.

　　M: So what are your dreams now?

　　W: Well, I really want to be a translator some day, so I’m working hard to learn English.

　　M: You’re so good at language learning. Your French and Italian are already fluent. Well, I hope you succeed in that dream some day!

　　(Text 9)

　　W: Hi, Bob! I am so glad that you came.

　　M: Of course I’d come. I couldn’t think of a better chance to see all my old friends.

　　W: It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years since graduation.

　　M: How time flies! How are things going with you?

　　W: It’s only recently that I’ve been able to start settling down. How about you? Are you still with Jenny?

　　M: Yeah, Jenny and I got married right after graduation. It was hard for the first three years—I was supporting us both while she continued her studies—but now things are getting better. I work as a manager in a trade company and she’s working at a law firm. It’s all started to come together and we’re finally able to make a life for ourselves.

　　W: Oh, that sounds wonderful. I have always known you two would make it. I hope I can keep in better contact with you.

　　M: Definitely! Actually, we just moved into a new place. There’s a house-warming party this Saturday, if you are free? I know Jenny would love to see you again and it should be a good party.

　　W: Sounds great! I am free this weekend and I’ll be there.

　　Bill gates, an American inventor, computer programmer and businessman, is reportedly worth nearly$80 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people in the country today. He founded and was head of Microsoft for years.

　　Gates was born to a rich family in the state of Washington. His father was a lawyer, his mother was a banker. He is famous for being taken as the father of modern computer. He studies at Harvard University but did not graduate because of his desire to develop new software.

　　As a 13-year-old student, Gates was introduced to computer programming. In 1975, Gates spoke to a company called Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS). He convinced the owner of the company that he had written a program that would work well and make big money. The owner bought into Gates’ inventions, and the two men reached an agreement to develop software for the company. Then the Microsoft Company was born.

　　Gates went on to develop the Windows operating system with their partner IBM. The two companies had differences though, and their partnership ended quickly. Gates worked as CEO until 2000. He remained active with the company for several years before leaving the company in 2008. In 2014, Bill Gates became the technical advisor of the firm.
