Text 2

M: What a great concert! I’m so glad we came. I love that band.

W: Me, too. But they didn’t play my favorite song. I don’t go to a lot of concerts, so that was pretty disappointing.(2)

Text 3

M: Let’s go over this one more time. First right, then straight for two hundred meters. The post office is on the left. You can’t miss it.

Text 5

M: It’s been a long Monday at work, honey. Can we see the movie another time?

W: Terrence, it’s me.

M: What’s going on? It’s the middle of the night.

W: But it’s raining and there is a line all around the station for cabs. It’ll take me at least an hour to get one if I wait. (6)

M: OK. I’m coming. It should take me 35 minutes or so. I will bring you an umbrella.

M: Do you have anything you want to tell me, Ruth?

W: No, Mr. Choate. I promise.

W: Like what? It’s just my book, pencils, and papers — the usual school stuff. (8)

M: Well, it smells like a dog. You know you aren’t allowed to bring pets to school, right?

W: Of course, I know that. I wouldn’t bring my pet Rex to school. Why would I do that?

M: What was that? I just heard a small sound…like a dog’s bark.

W: Oh, no! Fine, you caught me. I won’t do it again, I promise. I just missed him.That’s all.

M: Very well, young lady. Now, I have to call your parents. (9)

Text 8

W: How long have you lived in Beijing?

M: I have been here my whole life — 20 years.(10)

W: I moved here about eight years ago. It seems like there have been many changes since then. 

M: When I was a little boy, we didn’t have to worry about traffic. There were many bicycles but not as many cars as now. 

W: Could you find Western food back when you were a child?(11)

M: There were one or two places that had Russian and Italian food.(11) Now there are many more Western restaurants. You can even find Spanish food!

W: Yes, fast food restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC are everywhere.

M: I never eat that stuff, but my brother loves it. He even had his birthday party at KFC last year. 

W: Wow, Chinese people these days have accepted many Western customs. I only wish people in the West would eat more Chinese food.

M: Good luck with that. Most of my American and British friends don’t like hot food. But my African friends have no problem eating hot food.(12)

Text 9

W: Have you ever been in a hot air balloon for a ride?

M: No, what is a hot air balloon? That sounds interesting.

W: It’s a big balloon that you ride around in the sky.

M: How do you ride a balloon? I’ve never heard of such a thing.

W: Well, we would actually ride in a large basket that is tied to the balloon. 

M: How does the balloon stay in the air?

W: There is a special machine that burns gas. The heat from the burning gas lifts the balloon and gets you up in the air. (13)

M: Wow. That sounds fun. But is it dangerous? I don’t like to do dangerous activities.

W: Well, it’s not without risk, but it is perfectly safe if you have a professional balloon pilot to help control it.

M: OK. Let’s go for it! How much does it cost to ride in a hot air balloon? I’ll pay for it.

W: No need! We can both pay. It will only cost us $10 each.(14)

M: Great. I can’t wait to go.

W: Let’s meet tomorrow and I’ll drive us there. We have to go to a small area next to the city airport. It’s a little hard to find, but I’ve been there before. (16) I’ll pick you up after breakfast. (15)

M: OK. Bye!

参考范文：

Dear Peter,

I am glad that you are interested in Chinese idioms. Chinese idioms, mainly consisting of four Chinese characters, have been appealing to those absorbed in the Chinese language because they are an important part of Chinese culture. The benefits of learning them can be listed as follows.

First, with many of Chinese idioms widely used in our daily life, having a good knowledge of them contributes to better understanding both spoken Chinese and written Chinese. Second, they usually possess vivid and profound meanings, making what you try to convey more convincing.

As far as I’m concerned, I have a preference for the interesting stories behind some of the Chinese idioms. Not only are they interesting, but also they tend to teach some wisdom, which helps me a lot.

I sincerely hope you can learn them well.

                                                         Yours,

                                                         Li Hua
