Text 9

M:What are you working on?

W:I’m writing a report on Anna Eleanor Roosevelt for my American History class.

M:She was married to Franklin D.Roosevelt,right?

W:Yeah,but even though she was married to him,she is independent and she didn’t always share his opinions.

M:Really?

W:Yeah.She spoke up for the poor and minorities.In fact,she has a great record of human rights achievements.President Truman once called her the “First Lady of the World”.

M:How long does your report have to be?

W:It has to be ten pages long, but I already have twenty pages of notes!

M:Well,you should probably figure out what major points you want to make and then only include evidence about them. It’ll be too much to include everything from her life.

W:Yeah.That’s good advice…Hey,by the way,can I use your computer to write it?

M:Of course.But I lent it to my roommate earlier.I think he’ll finish using it soon.I’ll go to his room and get it,and then bring it to your apartment,OK?

W:Thanks.I really appreciate it!

Text 10

A man woke up one day and surveyed his lands.“I need to buy another horse to help with the harvest,” he said to himself.So the man set out for the market.He looked long and hard at the animals offered for sale before finally making an agreement with the owner of an expensive horse.The man would buy the horse on one condition:the owner had to allow the man to try out the animal before paying the money.The owner was puzzled.He had never heard of such a deal before,but he agreed to the man’s request. The man walked the horse home and put him in the straw yard with his other horses.He watched the animals to see how they would behave.Almost immediately,the new animal left the others and joined the laziest,fattest,and sleepiest-looking horse under the shade of a large tree.Seeing this,the man quickly led the horse back to the market.He gave the horse back to the owner and refused to buy it.
