2014河北衡水中学二调英语试题答案(6)

W: Yeah. And it sounds pretty interesting. It's all about how people study... you know, what kind of learning style they prefer. So, for example, some people learn best by looking at something, while others learn best by hearing or touching.
M: Yeah, that sounds like it'd be perfect for you. You've actually done a lot of work in that
    area. So now, the big question: are you getting paid for this?
W: I'm sure we'll get a little something, but probably not much. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. The most important thing is to get some experience, you know?
M: Yeah. And it'll be nice to help those high school students, too.
W: That's what I thought when I saw the ad. But you know what? You could do it, too.

W: If you could choose to be anyone you want from history, who would it be?
M: What kind of question is that?
W: It's just a question.
M: Are you trying to do one of those personality profile things from a magazine on me again?
W: Maybe, maybe not. Just answer the question.
M: No, I'm not going to answer the question until you tell me why you are asking it and what you are going to do with my answer!
W: Okay, so what if it is something I found in a magazine? I think it's interesting.
M: It's garbage! There's nothing scientific or proven from anything they conclude.
W: So what? There's at least a little truth in it and it's fun. I like analyzing people.
M: Then you should have studied psychology instead of accounting![来源:]
W: I just might do that. Maybe I'll go back to school and become a psychologist.
M: Fine, you do that. Just don't try to experiment on me or try to use your theories on me!
W: No problem. You make a terrible test subject anyway. You are so predictable.
M: Predictable? I am not!

W: Excuse me, sir. Would you like a free taste of our new spaghetti with tomato sauce?


M: How much is this, anyway?
W: It's only $3.95 for two servings.
M: Fantastic! I'm gonna pick some up right now. Where can I find it?
W: Just behind me, next to the frozen pizzas. Look for the bright yellow stickers that say
    "New".
M: Great! Hey, um, can I ask you a question?
W: Sure.
M: Do you think it would be all right if I had just one more of those samples? I didn't have a chance to eat lunch.
W: Take as many as you want.

    The San Antonio Spurs, one of the most successful NBA teams of all time, have been given a $250,000 fine because their coach Greg Popovich did not play four of his players, including three superstars, duing a recent game against the Miami Heat. Popovich put all-stars Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili, as well as role player Danny Green, on a plane and sent them home before the game. The coach said that he wanted to rest his players after a six-game road trip, and after the Spurs had played five times in seven days. David Stern, the head of the NBA, said that all teams are required to let his office know if any players are not going to travel for games because of injury or any other reason. He also said that the Spurs owed an apology to NBA fans, many of whom had paid a lot of money to watch the two teams play their only game in Miami this season. Many of the NBA journalists think that Coach Popovich made the decision because he was not satisfied with the NBA for giving the Spurs an unfair schedule. The coach has not said whether the team plans on trying to get the fine reduced.
