We thought it was ridiculous. Its only too natural for us to specify what kind of people we want.” He added, “The people at the center have since said they thought they had been a little over the top.”The center had made it a rule that certain words were nor allowed in ads and the words “motivated” and “enthusiastic” had been banned in the past.An official of the center said: “We do have guidelines of not using personality characteristics in advertisements to ensure that there is no discrimination in the process.”She added: “We should leave the dispute to the local judges.

Lets TalkAn Intelligent DogA black dog walked into a butchers shop with a five-dollar bill in his mouth. He spent several minutes looking at the meat on display. He finally fixed his eyes on the lamb chops and barked, showing that he wanted to buy some of them. The butcher, thinking the dog wouldnt know the difference, picked out the worst chops. The dog barked angrily and continued to bark until the butcher selected the finest chops. After the butcher took the money from the dogs mouth, the dog picked up the chops and left the shop.The butcher was deeply impressed and decided that he would like to own a clever dog like that. He closed up shop and followed the dog to see where it went. The dog entered an apartment house, climbed to the third floor, and began to scratch on the door. With that, the door opened and an angry man started yelling at the dog. As he did so, the butcher stepped forward to ask the man to stop. “What are you doing?” Thats the smartest animal Ive ever seen! Surely it doesnt deserve this kind of treatment.” The butcher then went on to explain how the dog had bought the best lamb chops in the shop. The man looked at the butcher from the corner of his eye and said, “I dont think hes so intelligent. You see, this is third time this week hes forgotten his key.”CharactersActions and WordsA dogwalked into a butchers shop with five dollars;fixed eyes on the lamb chops and barkedwanted some.The butcherpicked up the worst/lowest quality chops.The dogbarked angrily and continuouslyThe butcherselected the finest chops;took the money.The dogleft.The butcherwanted to own/have such a dog;followed the dog.The dogentered an apartment houseclimbed to the third floor;scratched on the door.A manopened the door;yelled at the dog.The butcherasked him to stop,saying it was the smartest/cleverest animal;explained how the dog had got the best lamb chops.The manlooked at him sideways;said it was the third time this week the dog had forgotten his key.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: A Birthday PresentMary: David, how did your mom like the dog you gave her for a birthday gift?David: Oh, Mary, she was delighted. It licked her hand and wagged its tail and she was hooked.Mary: What did she call it?David: Shes calling it “Brian”, after a friend of hers.Mary: Your mom always did have a sense of humor. I read somewhere that dogs can become very close to their owners.David: Ive heard that. I saw an interview on TV with a man who had epileptic attacks, and his dog would warn him before he would have an attack.Mary: Really? I wonder how they can do that1David: It ahs something to do with the dogs sense of smell. Its very keen.Mary: Do you think Brian will be able to foretell when your mom is going to roast a chicken?After David gave his mom a dog as a birthday present, she was very pleased, for the dog licked her hand and wagged its tail. She called it Brian after one of her friends. Mary read an article which says that dogs can be faithful to their owners/masters. David agreed, for he saw a TV interview which introduced a dog that could warn its master of an epileptic attack. He explained that this ability of the dogs has something to do with its keen sense of smell. Jokingly, Mary said she wounded whether the dog Brian can foretell/predict when Davids mom is going to roast a chicken.Task 2: 100 Percent Polar BearOne afternoon in the Arctic, a father polar bear and his son polar bear were sitting in the snow. The son turned to his father and asked, “Dad, am I 100 percent polar bear?” “Of course, son, youre 100 percent polar bear.”A few minutes passed, and the bear turned to his father again and said, “Dad, tell me the truth. I can take it. Am I 100 percent polar bear? No brown bear or panda bear?” “Son, Im 100 percent polar bear and your mother is 100 percent polar bear, so youre certainly 100 percent polar bear.”A few minutes passed, and the son polar bear again turned to his father and asked, “Dad, dont worry. But itll hurt my feelings if its not true. I really need to knowam I really 100 percent polar bear?”Somewhat angered by this continued questioning, the father polar bear yelled at his son, “Why on earth do you keep asking is youre 100 percent polar bear?”“Because Im freezing to death out here!”1.T 2.F 3.F 4.T 5.FTask 3: An Introduction to Advertising“Are you ready to go to work?” a woman asks her dog Sydney.
