M: Only two days left until summer break! What are your plans,Jessica?
W: I’m off to Canada for a camping trip.(1) What about you,Sam?
M: I think I’ll stay here and relax.

W: What are you guys laughing at?
M: It’s this new movie called The Internship.It’s very funny.(2)

M: I’m afraid we’ll have to cancel the trip,Grace.
W: Yeah,this is much more important.You’ll have to go to the funeral.He was your uncle.(3)

W: Benjamin promised to come for our party if he has time.
M: He often does it,but he never seems to have time.So you had better not take his words seriously, otherwise you will get disappointed later.(4)

W: I often mistake Mark for Tom in class.Can you tell them apart?
M: No.They are twins,and many teachers make the same mistake like us.It is really a little embarrassing to make mistakes all the time in face of so many students.

M: Look at all this bread! French,Italian…it all looks really good.I don’t know when America started its bread revolution,but I’m sure glad it happened.I could eat bread all day!
W: Me,too.This isn’t the kind of bread we ate when we were young.That sliced bread had more artificial things in it than you can count! (6)
M: Yeah,but our parents didn’t realize it was so unhealthy.These days,you can find a lot of freshly-baked bread with only four or five ingredients.
W: So,what are we going to buy? That long loaf of dark bread looks really good.
M: I’d rather have something lighter and thicker so I can make a nice big sandwich with it.(7)

M: Look at this place! If I didn’t know it was the city I grew up in,I’d swear I was somewhere else! (8)
W: Yeah…so many houses are empty or broken down.It wasn’t like this when we were kids.
M: We used to play ball in the streets all the time,but it looks so dangerous now.
W: And ugly.Look at all that trash in the streets.(9) The wind just pushes it along.What a lonely place!
M: This used to be a great city.People came from miles around to work in the shops and eat in the restaurants.What a sad sight! I guess when the glass making industry decided to move across the country where it’s cheaper,the quality of life here went away,too.
W: Yeah,let’s go.There’s nothing left for us here.I’m getting depressed.

W: George,why are you a vegetarian? Your whole family eats meat,except you.I can’t imagine how you chose to live this way.
M: Oh,it happened a long time ago when I was about ten years old.We had some friends who lived on a small farm.They had chickens,goats,sheep,and a few cows.(11) One time,we were invited over for dinner.We came early so we could play before we ate.I was running around the yard with my friends,when I saw the father preparing the meal.He had just caught a chicken and was cutting off its head.I felt very sick when I saw him do it.(12) After that,I would think about the poor chicken every time I ate meat. I ate less and less meat,until I stopped for good when I was twelve years old.(10)
W: I see.What did your parents think about your decision?
M: Well,since it didn’t happen all at once,they probably learned to accept that I would be a vegetarian.It wasn’t easy for them — especially for Mom,who had to cook differently for me.
