M: Grace! How are you? How long has it been?
W: Oh, since last May, I think. And how are you doing?
M: Fine, fine. I’ve been busy on the weekends working on my MBA.
W: Wonderful. Keep it up.
M: Thanks, I will. And how are things at Tokai?
W: Fine. Sales are up eighteen percent over last year and the boss is thinking about opening up another store in San Diego.
M: Ah, that’s kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. But first, are you hungry?
W: A little, do you want to get something to eat?
M: Well, they have great steaks here. And I thought we’d talk a little bit over dinner, and afterwards, talk business over drinks.
W: That’s a great idea!

M: So, Jane, where are we meeting these friends of yours tonight?
W: OH, didn’t I tell you? We’re going to see a movie.
M: Yeah? What movie?
W: I’m not sure. I know it’s one of those action movies.
M: Oh, no. Can’t we see a romantic movie? Action movies are too violent and stupid.
W: I know, but my friends really want to see this one.
M: Ok, then what about dinner? Should we take them out for some Chinese food?
W: I’d prefer Mexican. I’m not too good with chopsticks.
M: All right. I  wouldn’t want you to spill food on yourself in front of your old friends.
W: They’re not just my old friends. You know one of them. Tina.
M: Yeah, We live in the same town and we went to the same school.
W: She’s beautiful and funny. I like her very much.
M: Yes, she is a nice girl. Are we taking the bus?
W: No, the subway is faster. Did I tell you we have to be there in 30 minutes?
 
Text 10
Two businessmen were invited to dinner at the home of a college professor. One of the men had not had much education and was worried that he might make a fool of himself, but his friend said, “Don’t worry. Just do what I do, and don’t talk about anything you don’t really understand. ”
The first man managed to get through the dinner successfully, but by the end of the evening he had had a lot to drink, and he began to get careless.
A guest asked him whether he liked Shakespeare, and he answered confidently, “It’s very pleasant, but I prefer Coca-Cola.” There was an uncomfortable silence in the room, and soon people began to leave.
When the two friends were out of the house, the second man said to his friend, “You certainly made a fool of yourself by making that silly remark about Coca-Cola.”
 “What do you mean?” asked the other man. “What was wrong with it?”
“Everyone knows that Shakespeare isn’t a drink,” his friend replied. “It’s a kind of cheese.”

【典题例析】：
【试题原题】：《英语学科高三第六次月考卷（仿新课标卷I）》第27题：
27. The text is most probably taken from ________.
A. a research paper      B. a geography textbook    C. an advertisement    D. a newspaper report
【剖析】：27. D. 纵观全文内容可知，该文是一篇新闻报道。故正确答案为D. 在历年的高考“阅读理解”试题中，经常涉及“文章出处”的题目。这类试题属于典型的主观试题。如果具备一定的解题技巧，这类试题是很容易处理的。
（一）、这类试题的提问方式主要有：
The passage is most likely a part of______.
The passage is most likely to be taken from______.
Where would this passage most probably appear?
（二）、解题技巧这类问题应从文章的内容或结构来判断其出处：
① 报纸：前面会出现日期、地点或通讯社名称；
② 广告：因其格式特殊，容易辨认；
③ 器皿、设备的使用说明会有产品名称或操作方式；
④ 药品的服用说明会告知服用时间、次数、药量等。
有时命题者为了增加试题的难度，特殊的格式或日期可能不出现，这时需要根据文章的题材内容进行推断。如果内容是发布新闻，最可能是出现在报纸上；如果是科普读物，可能是出自科普杂志上。
