【正文】 (7) W: Okay. I think I understand. Thank you. Text 7 W: May I help you, sir? M: Yes. My name is Bob Stephens, and I have an appointment with Dr. Benjamin at 3:00 . on Wednesday. (9) W: Yeah, I see it here on his calendar. M: Well, I was wondering whether he is available earlier on the same day. (8) W: I?m sorry, but Dr. Benjamin will be tied up(忙的脫不開身） in a meeting until noon, and he has two appointments scheduled before yours when he gets back from lunch. There is a later appointment time open, though, at 4:30 ., if that would help you. Or you could see him at 10:00 . on Thursday. M: No, thank you. I think I’ll just arrange my own schedule again. (9) Text 8 M: Hi, Maddie. How are you today? W: Hi, Uncle Dave. (12) I?m doing pretty well. How about yourself? M: Very good, thank you. Your mom told me that you would take a vacation soon. You?re going to Australia? W: No, New Zealand. (10) I?m staying for two weeks and working on a farm. M: How exciting! I?ve never been to Australia before. W: I’m going to New Zealand, (10) Uncle Dave. Not Australia. M: Well, Aunt Terri would be very proud. (12) We always said you were quite a world traveler. When I was your age, I spent six months in Spain. That’s where I met Aunt Terri. (12) Your mom came and traveled with me for two of those months. (11) W: Wow! I didn?t know that! I?ll have to ask her to tell me about her experiences. M: I?ve got all the information you need! What do you want to know? Text 9 W: Uh, you look really unhappy. What?s going on? M: Ah, you don?t want to know. W: Come on, what?s the matter? M: Well, you see… my parents don’t really love me. (15) W: What do you mean? When I met them last week, they seemed really caring. M: Uh, you don?t understand! I want a new smart phone, but my parents won’t buy it for me! (15) W: Uh, excuse me, but uh… don’t you already have an iPhone? (14) Was it stolen or something? M: No, but it has a small mark on it. (13) And my other phone… (14) W: What? You have two phones? (14) M: That?s beside the point. W: So, did your parents give you a reason for not buying you a new phone? M: Not a good one…only something about being independent. And now they want me to work on my neighbor’s farm to pay for it. This is really unfair. (15) W: Hey, I think I know what the problem is. (16) M: What? W: You! You are the problem! (16) M: Ugh! You?re no help… Text 10 We are pleased to announce that John Williamson is the winner of our 2021 photo contest!
