Unit 12: You're supposed to shake hands.
Section A
1b
Boy: What are people supposed to do when they meet in your country, Celia?
Celia: Well, do you mean when people meet for the first time?
Boy: Yeah.
Celia: Well, in Brazil, friends kiss.
Boy: What about in Mexico, Rodrigo?
Rodrigo: In Mexico we shake hands.
Boy: How about in Japan, Yoshi?
Yoshi: We bow.
Girl: And in Korea we also bow.
Boy: Well, I guess in most Western countries we shake hands.
2a,2b
Dan: Hi, Maria. How was Paul's party?
Maria: Oh, Dan, it was a disaster.
Dan: It was?
Maria: Uh-huh.
Dan: What happened?
Maria: Well, I was supposed to arrive at 7:00, but I arrived at 8:00.
Dan: Oh, so you were late.
Maria: Yeah, but in my country, It's different. When you're invited for 7:00, youâre supposed to come later!
Dan: I see.
Maria: Then when I met Paul's mom, I kissed her.
Dan: And you were supposed to shake hands instead.
Maria: That's right. And I wore a fancy dress.
Dan: What's wrong with that?
Maria: Well, it was a barbecue, Dan. Everyone else was wearing a T-shirt and jeans.
Dan: I guess you should have asked what you were supposed to wear.
Section B, 2a, 2b
Satoshi: You must be really excited about leaving for Japan tomorrow, Steve!
Steve: Yeah, I am. But I'm a little nervous, too.
Satoshi: Nervous about what?
Steve: Well, for one thing, I don't know how to use chopsticks very well...and I don't know how to behave at the dinner table.
Satoshi: Oh, I see. I could give you a little lesson on Japanese table manners if you'd like.
Steve: Really? That would be great!
Satoshi: Hmmmm. Let me see. One difference is that sometimes itâs polite to make noise when youâre eating, especially when youâre eating noodles. It shows that you like the food.
Steve: Really? Thatâs interesting. In the United States youâre not supposed to do that.
Satoshi: Yeah, I know. OK, so here are some chopstick rules: itâs rude to stick your chopsticks into your food. And you shouldnât point at anyone with your chopsticks.
Steve: Oh, OK. I wonât.
Satoshi: And also, this isnât about table manners exactly, but you should know that itâs rude to eat or drink while walking down the street.
Steve: Huh.
Satoshi: Oh, and the most important thing you need to know is that youâre not supposed to talk when youâre eating dinner. Only parents are allowed to talk at the dinner table. Children are not allowed to speak.
Steve: Wow! Thatâsâ¦thatâs unusual.
Satoshi: Iâm just kidding! Steve.
Unit 13: Rainy days make me sad.
Section A 1b
Tina: Iâm hungry, Amy.
Amy: So am I. Why donât we get something to eat?
Tina: Yeah. Letâs go to the Rockinâ Restaurant. I love their hamburgers.
Amy: Oh, Tina⦠I hate the Rockinâ Restaurant.
Tina: Why? The food is great, isnât it?
Amy: The foodâs fine. I just donât like the atmosphere. Those awful pictures on the wall make me sad, and the loud music makes me tense.
Tina: OK. So where do you want to go, Amy?
Amy: Letâs go to the Blue Lagoon. The soft music makes me relaxed.
Tina: Not me. It makes me sleepy.
Section A 2a 2b
John: Did you and Amy have fun last night, Tina?
Tina: Well Johnâ¦yes and no.
John: Was Amy late as usual?
Tina: Yes, she was. And waiting for her make me angry.
John: Where did you go?
Tina: First we went to the Rockinâ Restaurant, but Amy didnât want to stay. She said that loud music made her tense.
John: Thatâs funny. Loud music always makes me want to dance.
Tina: Me too. So then we went to the Blue Lagoon. It was quiet and the food was great. We had a good time.
John: Then did you go to the concert at the high school?
Tina: No. We decided to go to the movies. We saw Remember Me Forever. It was a really good movie, but it was so sad that it made us cry.
John: Sad moves donât make me cry. They just make me want to leave!
Tina: You sound just like my brother!
Section B 2a 2b
Girl1: Wow! Look at this ad for Easy Care Shampoo, for the shiniest hair ever.
Boy: I canât stand ads like that! They make me really mad.
Girl1: Why?
Boy: They make you think that you can like the person in the ad. But I bought that shampoo and it didnât work.
Girl2: I agree. Look at this one. Lookout Sunglasses. For that mysterious look. Iâll bet they donât even keep out the sun.
Boy: And what about this one! Beauty Cream the silky skin soap.
Girl2: Wait a minute! I tried Beauty Cream and it works really well. It makes your skin really soft. Have you ever tried Starshine Toothpaste?
Girl1: Oh, you mean Whiter than white? Yeah, I tried it and it tastes terrible. Iâd never use it.
Boy: I guess you shouldnât believe everything you read.æ¥èªï¼æ±å©å¾å°çåç
