If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States today. It is mainly an indoor game, and the season extends from late autumn, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams; but for the most part, basketball is a school sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team.
In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather, you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every corner of that land, and the activities of the professional teams are a subject of conversation for Americans everywhere.
In autumn, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty in seeing any sense in it. But for most people the game itself is not so important as the music and the cheering that go with it. On a cool bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game.

I arrived in the United States on February 6, 1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o?clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.
Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn?t speak a word of English, I couldn?t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn?t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway
until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.
When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn?t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.

I am Julie Chen and I come from Taiwan, in the southeast of China. I must tell you that this is the first time I've spoken in front of a class of English speakers, so if I don't speak perfectly at first, please excuse me.

A long time ago, when airplanes were not very big or strong, all the passengers had to be weighed with their luggage, so that planes did not have to carry out more than it was safe to carry. Then, later, when airplanes became bigger and stronger, only the luggage had to be weighed; and now very often, the luggage has to be measured besides being weighed because size is as important to the airplanes as weight. Airplanes are so big and strong now that they can carry almost any weight.
But before a passenger can travel on Utopia Airlines, he or she still has to be weighed. Once when one fat man was asked by an airlines? clerk how heavy he was, he thought for a few seconds and said to her: “With or without my clothes ?” “Well, sir,” the girl answered, “how are you planning to travel?”

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of unfortunate those people who have a very poor sense of direction, and though I may have visited a place time after time, I still manage to get lost on my way there. So if anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid confusing them, but even this can have embarrassing results.
I was once on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the bank of China Building. Without thinking, I gave my usual reply, but I had only walked on a few steps when I realized that he has asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I found it was too late to turn back and search him out in the crowd behind me as I had an appointment to keep at the office with a new client and I did not want to keep him waiting.

Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food. But they do not really know what(46d) they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat(47c) it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners(48a) who serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat(49c) in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer(50d) them something foreign and exotic.
Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really(51b) very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible(52a). Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food—we eat to live, we do not live to eat. So we don?t generally spend(53b) the necessary time and effort which are needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or(54a) ready prepared food which only needs heating up before(55a) eating.

Courtesy is the key to effective telephone communication. Greet all callers pleasantly, keep your voice friendly and your manner pleasant. You should be as helpful as you can. If you know who the caller is, you might say some thing like this: “Good morning, Ms. Smith” or “Hello, Bill”. If you do not know who the caller is, identify yourself first—“Mrs. Rose speaking” or “Mr. Black”. When answering the telephone for a department, be certain to identify both the department and yourself—“Accounting Department, Ms. Park” or “Information Center, Robert Wilson”.

Remember that the impression created by your voice should be that of a friendly smile. Show the caller that you want to be helpful, always liste n attentively and don?t interrupt, so that the caller will know you are listening, occasionally acknowledge comments with a “Yes” or with some other simple responses.

You are unique. There are 6.5 billion people in the world but no other person is exactly like you. Besides people, there are millions of other living things. Every living thing is different from each other. Every living thing is a unique
Why is each living thing unique? Where do its characteristics come from? Do people receive characteristics from their mothers and fathers? How? The work of Gregor Mendel was especially important to help us to answer these questions.
Mendel studied plants, especially pea plants. In some way they were all the same. For example, they all had flowers. But some had red flowers, and others had white flowers. Some were tall, others were short. Mendel was especially interested in the differences. He wondered why each plant was of certain color, shape, size. He experimented with thousands of pea plants, with a careful record. And he discovered some interesting things. He mated different pea plants First, he mated a red flower plant with a white flower plant. All of the offspring plants had red flowers.
Mendel was curious about what happened to the white. Then he mated two of the offspring plants. Every time he did this, they produced three red plants and one white plant. There was the white again. So Mendel knew that even red plants somehow passed on whiteness. Mendel decided that pea plants carried factors, and the parents passed these factors onto their offspring.
Today we call these factors genes. Genes are tiny pieces of matter. They carry information from parents to offspring. Now we know that every person is unique and one reason for this is that every person is a unique combination of genes.

May 17, 1988 Dear Peter,
I got back yesterday from my pleasant visit with you in Quebec. I was surprised(46a) that it was so easy for Americans to cross the border between Canada and the United States. My friend Mr. Connor, who drove(47c) me back, has a car with a New York license, he told the(48a) customers inspector that we were all from New York. He told the inspector that we hadn?t bought anything(49d) in Canada. The inspector just waved his hand, and we drove across(50b) the border.
Mrs. Connor said that they sometimes stop cars and search them. Last month they knew that someone was carrying(51c) drugs across the border, so they searched every car. But crossing(52d) the border is usually quite simple because Canada and the United States have such(53b) friendly relations.
Thank you again for a wonderful visit. I enjoyed seeing (54a) the French part of Canada. I hadn?t(55c) known how very French it was!
Sincerely,
Jan
