M: Right. Now, can you tell me how fast the car was going?

M: Have you seen my glasses? I can’t find them anywhere.

W: Go in the bathroom and look in the mirror.

M: You mean I’ve got them on. How could that be?

W: You’re the most absent-minded person I’ve ever met.

M: I can’t deny it. I’d lost my head if it weren’t placed on my shoulders.

W: I’ll never forget the time you went fishing and forgot to take your fishing pole.

M: I won’t forget it either, but that’s not the most memorable example of my forgetfulness. 

W: How about the time you started to leave without having any pants on?

M: No, that’s not it.

W: I’m tired of guessing, tell me.

M: You never would have guessed. Well, anyway,  the day we were supposed to get married was such a beautiful day that I forgot all about the wedding and went fishing instead.

M: I have a three-week vacation coming up in a few months, and I want to take a trip. But I don’t really know where I want to go.

W: Do you want to stay in this country, or would you prefer to go abroad?

M: I think I’d like to visit a foreign country. I’m not interested in Africa, but anyplace else would be fine.

W: Well, that leaves Asia, South America and Europe. Oh, I almost forgot Australia. Are you interested in seeing anything in particular? Historical monuments? Museums? Countryside? People?

M: Monuments might be interesting, but museums are too boring. I’d like to see a little night life, too. If I’m going to spend lots of money on a trip, I don’t want to be bored.

W: It sounds as if you would do as well to go to Europe — possibly to France, Spain or Italy. There are excellent hotels, so many interesting sights to see and plenty of night clubs.

M: Well, you’ve convinced me. I’ll take a ticket to Paris. They say the night clubs are really 

wonderful too.

(Text 10)

M: Do you know when and how bicycles began? Well, in the eighteenth century, cities became larger and larger. And people moved from the countryside and small towns to the cities because there was more work for them to do in the cities. On Sundays and holidays, they liked to leave the cities and have a good time in the countryside. But not every family had a horse. So people needed a simpler means of transportation, and inventors in many countries tried to solve this problem.

Therefore, the first bicycle, which was very simple, appeared in 1790 in France. People called it “the horse on wheels”, but it was difficult to ride and it also felt uncomfortable. Then in 1861, after many improvements being made, bicycles became a practical means of transportation. And people liked bicycles, because they were not as expensive as horses, and better still, they didn’t need to be fed. However, they could go anywhere and were easy to ride.
