Now let’s give him our warm welcome.

Mr. Green, you are going to {A. get; B. give; C. make; D. hold} some injections, and you’ll feel much better. A nurse will come and give you the first one this evening, and then you’ll {A. may; B. have to; C. had better} get another one tomorrow evening.” In the evening a young nurse came to Mr. Green’s bed and said to him, “I am going to give you your {A. first; B. one; C. two; D. second} injection now, Mr. Green. Where do you want it？”

The old man was surprised. He looked at the nurse for a {A. hour; B. minutes; C. moment}, then he said, “Nobody has ever let me choose that before. Are you really going to let me choose now？”

“Yes, Mr. Green,” the nurse answered. She was in a hurry. “Where do you want it？”

“Well, then,” the old man answered {A. with a smile; B. in time; C. in surprise; D. with tears in his eyes} “I want it in your left arm, please.”

Dear Vicky,

I live in Aberdeen, in the north of Scotland. My family live in Cornwall, at the other end of the country. My parents are getting old now, and I really want to go and see them this Christmas. The problem is my boss. He only gives us 2 days' holiday at Christmas. It's 500 miles to go from Aberdeen to Cornwall and then 500 miles back again, and I'll be exhausted(筋疲力尽)when I get back. I want to ask for more time off, but I don't get on very well with my boss. A few months ago, he walked into the room and heard some of us saying rude things about him. Since then the atmosphere(气氛)has been very difficult.

Dear Anxious in Aberdeen,

It's obvious to me that you need to rebuild your relationship with your boss. You have hurt his feelings, and now that you need something from him. You have realized what you have done. There is only one thing to doit's time you apologized. I'm sure your boss will be relieved(宽慰的). If you explain why you need the time off, he will probably be more than happy to let you go. Good luck!

Vicky

to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.

It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend “Bingo”. He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to “buy him” to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his week's wage to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else.

M: It's Nelson. Charles Nelson.

W: Okay. Mr. Nelson. That's a room for five, and...

M: Excuse me？ Do you mean a room for five dollars？ I didn't know the special was so good.

W: No, no, no. According to our records, a room for five guests was booked under your name.

M: No. No. Hold on. There must be some mistake.

M: Wait, wait! It was for tonight. Not tomorrow night.

W: Hum. I don't think we have any rooms for tonight. There's a convention going on in town, and uh, let's see. Yeah, no rooms.

M: Ah come on! You must have something. Anything.

W: Well. Let me check my computer here. Ah! There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available.

M: Great. I'll take it.

W: But I'll have to charge you two hundred fifty dollars for the night.

M: Ah. I should get a discount for the inconvenience.

W: Well. The best I can give you is a ten percent discount plus a ticket for a free breakfast.

W: Well, only on weekends.

M: Okay. That'll be fine.
