M: You promised to go to the Olympic Games with me this afternoon. Are you ready to go now?
W: Oh, yes, I did say that. But, as you can see, I have some unexpected visitors now, so I am afraid I can’t go anymore.

W: How was school today? Your teacher called me this afternoon.
M: The same as always, Mom. Oh, there was one thing. I got in a big fight.
Text 3
M: I’m afraid you can’t get into the cinema because you do not have a ticket.
W: Oh, I must have lost it, but I can find a person who can prove that I did have a ticket. Is that all right?

W: What was your favorite subject in high school, Henry?
M: I used to love math, but now I can’t stand it. I’m much more into English now.
W: That’s so funny! I am just the opposite.

M: Did you make a reservation on the 7:00 flight?
W: I thought you wanted to take the 6:00 flight. It’s too late to change it now.

W: Have you ever made dumplings before?
M: There was a party my first year in China where someone came and tried to teach us how to make dumplings. I didn’t do very well.
W: I’ll let you in on a secret. No one makes really good dumplings his or her first time!
M: Well, I’m not sure that I’ll do better the second time.
W: Of course you will. Practice makes perfect! Come on, I’ll teach you.
M: Hmm, I suppose it couldn’t hurt. Who knows? Maybe they’ll be edible this time!
W: Mine always taste good! But you can’t eat any of mine if you don’t at least try to make some yourself.
M: All right. So, what kind shall we make? How about pork with green onions?

W: Have you been to the National Museum since it reopened?
M: No, have you?
W: Yes, I went yesterday with some friends who were visiting from out of town. It was wonderful! We were only able to see a few of the exhibits because we spent so much time looking at the jade exhibit. It was amazing. The jade was simply amazing. The collection includes pieces from around the time of Peking Man through the Qing Dynasty. Although the artistry of the later pieces is superb, I think I enjoyed the early ones best. The stones were so beautiful, the carved patterns were simple yet elegant, and they were all done with such primitive tools — truly astonishing!
M: That sounds like it’s worth a visit. My wife would probably enjoy it, too. How much is the entrance fee?
W: That’s the best part. Like most museums in Beijing, admission is free!

M: Did you watch the NBA game last night?
W: No, I didn’t see it. In fact, I almost never watch NBA games.
M: What? You’ve got to be kidding! Basketball is the best thing on TV.
W: All it is a bunch of men in shorts running around with a ball. What’s so great about that?
M: What’s so great about it? Why, it’s the greatest sport ever, that’s what! To play basketball professionally requires a lot of athletic ability, physical determination, and speed. It’s a very fast game, and it’s very exciting to watch.
W: Well, I think it’s silly. All the players do is bounce the ball, throw the ball, run around trying to take the ball from each other... I just don’t understand it. I’d much rather watch a movie, a talk show, or even a game show than a basketball game!
M: Well, I can see that we are never going to agree on this. Let’s change the subject. So, what do you want to do this weekend?

M: Madam, do you know how fast you were going just now?
W: Uh, well, no, I didn’t think I was going that fast...
M: This is a 25 mph zone, Madam. You see that school over there? You were going 35 mph.
W: But today is Sunday, sir. There is no school today.
M: That doesn’t matter, Madam. There are signs that say what the speed limit is. Besides, children often come to school on the weekends to play sports. You see all those kids over there? What if you hit one of them by accident?
W: I’m sorry, officer, I won’t do it again. Could you please let me off with a warning?
M: I’m afraid I can’t do that, Madam. In school zones, I’m required to give tickets to all drivers who break the rules. It’s the law in this county.
W: Oh, dear! What is this going to cost me?
M: I don’t know, Madam. Usually, these things can be taken care of for less than ＄100. Now please sign here at the bottom.
W: OK... is that all?
M: One more thing, if you go to traffic school, your insurance won’t go up. Have you been to traffic school before, Madam?
W: No, I haven’t.
M: There are many cheap options online. It’s definitely better than paying more for insurance.
W: OK, thank you.
M: My pleasure.

And now for today’s health news. A new study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania suggests that eating chocolate every day might actually be good for you. Researchers gave people different amounts of chocolate, from none at all to several servings, every day for six weeks and measured their blood pressure, body fat, and emotional condition. What they found may surprise you. It turns out that eating a small amount of chocolate every day is better than eating none at all! People who ate a small amount of chocolate regularly had lower blood pressure and reported feeling happier than people who didn’t eat any chocolate. Eating a lot of chocolate every day resulted in increased weight gain and higher blood pressure, but it actually had a positive impact on mood. The scientists were quick to point out that the chocolate under investigation was dark chocolate, which has less fat, less sugar, and fewer calories than milk chocolate. They also said that adding chocolate to one’s diet should be combined with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Although the researchers said that there is still a lot of work to be done in this field, the initial findings are no doubt great news for all you chocolate lovers out there!
