As is vividly shown in the picture, the department store which sells children’s nutritive products is being surrounded by crowds of parents, making the saleswoman very busy. In contrast, the neighboring department selling similar products of the old seems unpopular. The saleswoman can not help falling asleep.

The picture reflects a common social phenomenon—people tend to care more for their children than their parents. There are several reasons accounting for it. For one thing, young couples are eager to prepare their kids for a bright future by raising them healthily. For another thing, young couples fail to spend time with their old parents because they are too busy with their work.

From where I stand, showing love and care to the old is a traditional virtue of China. Busy as people are, the duty should not be ignored and they should go back home to accompany their parents as often as possible. (153 words)

M: I’ve been wondering how to start running. I want to run a marathon, and I know you’re a good runner. (6)

W: Well, you need to start out slowly. See if you can run a mile without stopping, and then start increasing your distance.

M: Okay. Do you think I should run on a running machine at the gym or outside?

W: Well, it depends on what you like. Running inside is nice because you can stay at a steady speed. But outside is nice, too, because you’re surrounded by nature and fresh air.

W: Oh. But I know I know you from somewhere. (10) Did you use to work at the movie theater downtown? You did! It’s you! I go there all the time, and you always sell me popcorn and soda! M: No, that’s not me, either. Sorry, ma’am. Perhaps I look familiar to you, but…

W: No, I know that I know you. Hold on, let me think. This is driving me crazy! I know that we’ve talked before. Oh, I remember now! You work at the Whole Bean Cafe on the corner. (12) M: No, wrong again. Sorry, ma’am, but I really have to get going Text 9

M: I wrote this song last night. I’ve been feeling very creative lately. (14) W: It was interesting. I’ve never heard a song about bees before.
