Unit 1

I
am
frequently
asked
the
question
,
“
can
you
use
chopsticks
?
”

I
have
lived
in
Korea
,
Japan ,and China . In each country , I have,
more often


than not and without having requested
one, been given a fork
when
one was available . I have politely refused and said that I would be
fine with chopsticks . Sometimes, I have to make
further
explanation.
Chopsticks are
the least of
my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant . In
fact , learning
how
to use chopsticks takes me
nothing but
a few weeks . This is not to say I was
skillful , though . Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me ,
whereas
learning the rituals and
how to
conduct
myself at the table is quite difficult .
Just how many
times do I have to say
“
no ,
thank you
”

when
I really mean
“
no, thank you , I truly am full
”
? How do I get away with refusing
more food without
offending
someone ? If I insist and I still get more , is it appropriate just not to
eat it ?This would be
impolite
where I come from .
I have enjoyed many great meals and my
interactions
with the people have been great . I am
increasingly
aware that I will never be able to
give back
as much as I have received . I don
’
t know
how I can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia.



Unit 2
This was what all of the training and pain was about----winning . I watched TV to see the
young runner who had been under my
coaching
for the last few years . I would have been there on
the spot
had it not been for
the traffic problem . I couldn
’
t
make it
even on my bicycle . While I
watched the young runner enter to the cheers of thousands of people, I could not help
thinking
of
the pains that he had gone through in his training .

The young runner was hardly considered to be
promising
when he first came to me . There
were countless training
sessions
full of pain for him . I had seen fatigue written on his face . I had
heard him
swear
at me . I had been
indifferent
to his anger and pain . It was clear that only hard
work could
earn
him success . I had smiled to myself when I found that he had too much
passion

to give up . And he would
persist
with the training until he reached perfection . I had never forgot
to remind him that
despite
the challenges he had to keep on practice . It was unfair that he had no
time for his girlfriend . But that was life for him !
The thunderous shouts and cheers drew me back to the TV screen . Oh , my dear , the young
runner was
gaining
speed . He was running to the finish line . He was strong enough to
beat
other
runners . His courage , heart and discipline together with his years of practice won him the honor .
Tears rolled down my cheeks when I found on the screen the young runner was looking around . I
understood at once that he was looking for me . For years, he had become so
used to
my presence ,
success or failure . It must have seemed strange for him to find me missing.







Unit 3
I didn
’
t marry for all the
“
right reasons
”
. Love had
nothing
to do with marriage . And , for
my husband
’
s part , well , I
suspect
love was on his mind either .He married me because I made
him feel young . He was such an ordinary man going
through
his very ordinary midlife crisis . He
was divorced , looking for younger women and a career change . That didn
’
t
bother
me, though .
He was still fairly charming , pretty handsome and
above all
rich . I married for money , and I
don
’
t have any
doubt
about it . My friends don
’
t
applaud
my decision , but I can also tell that they
wish , at least a little bit , for some of the same things that I now enjoy . They always prefer to

spend
a lot of time by my swimming pool than at their common little homes . And another thing ,
they are always
complaining
about their
“
beloved
”
.
“
He
’
s always watching how much I spend .
”

“
It
’
s become more like a business relationship
than
a marriage .
”

My
husband
,
however,
doesn
’
t
care

how
much
I
spend
and
our
marriage
never
became
a
business because it already was one . You could say , we have a
mutual
understanding . We are
very
realistic
about the whole thing . It is painful for my friends when they realize that love is just
a(n)
illusion
. Marriage for love never existed for me . And , he
’
ll never
divorce
me . He
’
d lose too
much money .





Unit4
Love is important because without it life has no meaning or purpose . Love allows us to do
more
than
we
could
ever

accomplish
without
its
power .
So
often
we
take
good
care
of
our

physical
needs .
We
make
sure
our
bodies
are
fed
,
cleaned
,
clothed
,
exercised
and
rested .
However , we tend to
overlook
the most important need -----love . Of course , as a society , love is
not overlooked . Popular media constantly places great emphasis
on
what we need to do to attract
“
love
”
.
But
being loved is not as powerful an emotional need as that desire to love someone else .

The need to love and
care for
others is built into us biologically . This need is
what
allows
parents to give up sleep and food while raising their children . This need is what allows people to
put themselves
at risk
to save others from natural
disasters
or threats .

Love means to cherish , hold dear , and treasure . We do not hurt , harm , or cause pain to
those we love; rather , we seek to
alleviate
their suffering . It
’
s not about wanting to possess or
control others it
’
s about wanting to set them free . Love is the power
that
allows the wheel of life
to continue turning , for when we love we look
beyond
our own needs and desires . We
sacrifice

our time , our energy , our wishes , and sometimes even ourselves because of love . It is love that
allows
emergency
services
personnel
to
face
danger .
It
is
love
that
allows
soldiers
to
risk

everything . The ultimate definition of love is not about feeling good
but rather
about doing good .





Unit5
“
Knock it off !
”
Billy would not
cease
banging his foot on the table . Mrs . Stewart had lost
all
patience
in telling him to stop . Her words were falling on
deaf
ears . She had asked her son to
