At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm. Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes. After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes, a young waiter, not much more than a boy, came to take their order. He spoke no English, but after a lot of laughter and pointing at the menu, they thought they had managed to make him understand that all they wanted was ice cream. There were several flavours, lemon, chocolate, coffee, orange and vanilla and they both chose coffee. “I love coffee ice cream,” said Ann.After a little while the waiter returned. He was carrying a big tray, which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann. There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray.“We didnt order coffee,” said Edward crossly, “We ordered coffee ice cream. He ought to be able to understand simple English.”The waiter smiled and looked pleased.“No,” said Ann laughing, “its this country. We ought to be able to speak his language.”Keys: B C D B C C D APart 3News Item 1In Houston, Taxes, a federal investigating jury has changed the Arthur Andersen Company with blocking efforts to seek justice in the Enron case.

Every day after school they had gone down to the field behind the pub to see what was happening. First the men had put up the big tent, and then moved in all the seats, and finally they had fixed the colored lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field, the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised. Sometimes, to their delight, two young woman stood on the horses backs and galloped round and round.But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into the lions cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling.At last the opening night came round. Then the most terrible thing happened; their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus. The children were unable to make her change her mind, and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Listening ComprehensionPassage 1 Greeting and introductionGreetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture. Their importance can never be overemphasized.In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the business world introductions are based on a persons rank or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well to the one you know better.There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying “Hello! I am” If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new person. Rarely they shake hands while parting. As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between who know each other very well.If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy, sexually explicit stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, its not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Keys:1-4 B D D C 58 B B D BPassage 2 American IndiansThe native people of North and South America were given the name “Indians” by the explorer Christopher Columbus. He thought he had reached a place called the Indies. In time, the terms American Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Some Indians live on government lands called reservations, or on tribal lands. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live. But many native Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no jobs. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans. Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans. But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school. At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as na
