Quotations and sayings are part of our language and our ways of life. As the poet Emerson said, we use them by necessary, to remind ourselves to look before leap or avoid cross our bridges before we come to them. We use them by habit, often夷realizing we are doing so, and we all love to use an apt quotation to enliven conversation or score a point in夷argument. This booklet contains over a thousand quotations, proverbs and saying. Together, they offer a great deal of information, advice, amusement and comfort.
Emerson wrote‘I hate quotations’so it is doubtful that he would have been used this book―but we hope that you will.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
1. M: Hi, Annie. I want to thank you for teaching me how to make a homepage. Without your help, I could
have failed in the computer course again. W: Oh, it was my pleasure. So, you passed the course? M: Yes, I got an A!
W: Ah, good for you! Congratulations!
Question: What did Annie do for the man?
2. M: When you quit smoking you have to change your lifestyle. I had to stop drinking too much beer, because when I drank, it made me want to smoke. I started eating more fruit and vegetable and I cut down on red meat. W: Yeah, that makes sense. Change your diet...change your lifestyle...start a new you!
M: So far the toughest time is when I 蒺 m hanging out with friends in clubs, bars or KTVs. And ...the doctor
told me to keep my mouth and hands busy! Question: Why does the man change his lifestyle?
3. W: Mr. Johnson, I believe I know what the problem is. It seems one of our staff confused your order with
another client 蒺 s canceled order. We deeply regret this error and I will have your items shipped out to you today by express mail at no added charge to you. You should receive your software within 24 hours. M: Well, thank you. I appreciate your prompt service.
W: Also in accordance with our compensation policy, we will only charge you for half of the original order. I hope these measures are satisfactory.
Question: What may take place after this conversation?

W: But Europe is amazing! You 蒺 re going to Frankfurt, right? I 蒺 ve been there twice ... it 蒺 s a delightful city!
You蒺ll love it!
M: Oh I蒺m sure I蒺ll like it when I get there .... that is, if I get there. I 蒺 m terrified of flying!
