Steve: I can’t believe these people. I can’t believe what they do.
Trish: Calm down, Steve. What are you talking about?
Steve: Look at this. I just bought a donut. I’m so sick of the clerk wrapping each pastry individually, then taping the bags shut, then putting those bags in another bag, folding it down, and then taping that bag shut. I can’t take it anymore. It’s crazy and it’s bad for the environment.
Trish: How long have you been living here? Don’t you know that’s the way it is?
Steve: I just want them to stick ‘em in a napkin for me , so I can eat while I’m walking to class.
Trish: There you go again. Don’t you know it’s rude to eat while you walk?
乔家儿女演员表_全部演员介绍Steve: I’m so tired of this place. I don’t have time to sit down and eat. People here are too inflexible, and they have too many rules.
Trish: Yeah, right, Steve, so you’re gonna convert everybody here to your way of doing thin

gs?
Steve: Yeah, there has to be more individual freedom to do whatever you want.
Trish: Why don't you just relax and go with the flow?
Steve: Go with the flow? The whole system is a waste of my time. The clerks here should learn how to be more efficient, like in the U.S.
Trish: What are you talking about? When I was in the U.S., the clerks were really rude. They just ignore you, and seem offended if you want anything. Don't you think it’s better this way?
Steve: Are you kidding?
Trish: Well, I kind of like it. It’s nice to relax and enjoy the moment while your packages are being wrapped. I like all of the traditions, and the care and attention that people give you, and the manners. To me, it’s a wonderful place to live.
Steve: I think you’re nuts.
Trish: You’re not gonna last long, mate.

Bob: Is that another new computer?
Andy: Yeah. Look how fast it is.
Bob: Wow! I can’t believe it. And I thought your other computer was fast!
Andy: It is fast, but this one’s like lightning.
Bob: And the picture’s so clear.
Andy: Mmm. Isn’t it? The color is pretty impressive, too, don’t you think?
Bob: Yeah. You always have the latest, don’t you?
Andy: You bet. This machine is right on the cutting edge of technology. You wouldn’t believe how much it can do. Apart from e-mail and free Internet service, I can watch TV on it while surfing. With this new desktop program, I can watch TV, e-mail, streamline videos, and scan artwork. And it’s not that expensive to upgrade, either. Uh, speaking of computers, how’s yours? Still like it?
Bob: Yeah, it’s fine. Thanks!

Andy: I know I gave you a good deal. It was only a year old. Still, are you sure it meets all your needs? Maybe you should think about upgrading.ktv歌曲
Bob: you know me – the only things tat I need a computer for are e-mail and word processing.
Andy: Yeah, but does it give you room to expand? If you want to be able to do more two years from now, will your computer be able to handle it?
Bob: Well I don’t know. But I kind of doubt that I’ll need a new one anytime soon.
Andy: Yeah, but with computers, there’s always a new model coming out that can do so much more. If you don’t keep up with technology, you'll get left behind.
Bob: well, what’s wrong with that?
Bob: you know me – the only things tat I need a computer for are e-mail and word processing.

s, and my stomach is kinda upset.
Doctor: Well, that doesn’t surprise me. I have some news that you might find exciting. You’re pregnant.
Julie: No way!
Doctor: Yes, you’re going to have a baby.
Julie: Are you kidding me? Ah, I need a cigarette.
Doctor: That’s the last thing you need. You need to stop smoking, and immediately.
Julie: But I can’t stop smoking.
Doctor: For your baby’s health, Julie, I’m afraid you have to.
Julie: But smoking is the only way I can relax! It helps me when I’m stressed out.
Doctor: Now, there are a number of things that are extremely important for pregnant mothers, and not smoking is only one of them. Another is to stop drinking alcohol. Do you drink?
Julie: Well, I have a glass of wine with dinner, but I’m not an alcoholic. And I thought a little bit was supposed to be good for you anyway.

Julie: Okay, then. What else is there?
Doctor: Well, coffee.
Julie: Do I have to give up everything I enjoy? I need coffee to wake me up in the morning.
Doctor: I’m afraid, Julie, you’ll have to stop drinking that, too. Caffeine affects the baby’s heart rate. And, it’s also important to get regular exercise.
Julie: You’re kidding! I have to quit smoking, stop drinking alcohol and coffee, and on top of all that, I have to start exercising? Boy, it is amazing that anybody ever gets pregnant.
Doctor: I really hope you’ll take this seriously, Julie.

Unit11 Getting There is Half the Fun
Script
Sue: Randy, what’s going on in this picture? It looks like you have blood all over your shirt.
Sue: Randy, what’s going on in this picture? It looks like you have blood all over your shirt.
Randy: No, that’s not blood. It’s ketchup.
Sue: Ketchup? What happened?
Randy: This happened when Tim and I were traveling around Asia. We were in Bangkok.
Sue: Yeah…
Randy: …and we had reservations to catch an overnight bus to Chiang Mai.
Sue: Yeah.
Randy: And we were waiting at a king of restaurant that was sort of a travel agency…and we went early, but the bus didn’t come, and I was getting kind of worried.
Sue: Yeah…but what’s that got to do with ketchup?
Randy: So, I was beginning to wonder if we’d been cheated, because we’d already paid for our tickets in advance.
Sue: Right.
Randy: Then, finally, a van pulled up , and we thought, no , this is not the bus…but then everyone else who was waiting pushed right past us and jumped in , and, bam!—just like
that, the van drove away. And then this sweet little Thai woman, who was the tickets, came up to us.
Sue: Yeah, and …
Randy: …and she said, “Why you no get on?” And Tim was like, “ That wasn’t the bus, was it?” “Only one, why you not get on?” And I didn’t know she was talking about…不一样的美男子插曲
Sue: So what happened?
Randy: Well, the travel agent jus shrugged and turned and went inside her shop. Neither of us could believe it. I started to get really angry , like we’d been cheated, and now it’s dark and we’re stranded in this little restaurant…
Sue: Oh, no…
Randy: I followed her inside, I started arguing. I told her, “We paid for the bus. You didn’t tell us to look for a van. Now you have to get us a taxi to Chiang Mai. Now.” And I started pointing at the clock. I think that was the last straw for the woman, because she started shouting. “You no go. You no go Chiang Mai!” She grabbed a ketchup bottle off the table you know, one of those plastic squirt ketchup bottles, and she squirted ketchup at me!
Sue: Yeah, and …
Randy: …and she said, “Why you no get on?” And Tim was like, “ That wasn’t the bus, was it?” “Only one, why you not get on?” And I didn’t know she was talking about…不一样的美男子插曲

Sue: No! She didn’t!
Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, “Now you go.”
Sue: So you got on the van.
Randy: Yeah, we ended up at the bus terminal, where this big, air-conditioned tour bus was waiting to go to Chiang Mai. And all the people who had pushed ahead of us earlier were there, waiting to leave. I felt SO stupid for getting angry at the woman and making such a fool of myself.
Sue: You must have felt terrible.
Randy: Yeah, I wished there was some way I could go back and apologize to her. I realized that I have to be more patient, especially when I’m in another country.
Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, “Now you go.”
