W:Hey,Jake.Are you ready for your trip?

M:Well,not really.I still have to buy some clothes.

W:Well,what’s the weather like there?

M:Well,uh,it’s really hot in the summer,so I’m going to buy some shorts,sandals,and a few T-shirts.

W:What about the rest of the year?

M:People say that the fall can still be warm until November,so I’m going to buy some jeans and a few casual shirts.

W:Will you need any warm clothes for the winter?

M:Well,the weather doesn’t get too cold,but it often snows in the mountains,so I’m going to buy a couple of warm sweaters,a jacket and a hat.I don’t have room in my suitcase to pack a coat,so I’m going to wait until I get there and buy it when I really need it.

W:Are you going to take anything else?

M:They say it rains quite often in the spring,but again,I’ll probably just wait and pick up a raincoat or an umbrella later on.But I’m going to take a good pair of shoes because I plan on walking to and from school every day.

W:Do you need any clothing for formal occasions?

M:I’ll probably take some nice slacks,a dress shirt,and a couple of ties or two.And I’ll just rent a suit or tuxedo if I need anything more formal,in case there is a wedding or someone’s graduation.

Charlie and Jackie joined a company together just after graduation.They both worked very hard.After several years,the boss made Jackie sales manager but Charlie remained a salesman.One day Charlie could not stand it any more.He handed in his resignation letter to the boss and complained that the boss did not value hard-working employees,but only raised those who tried to please him.He thought that it was really unfair.

The boss knew that Charlie had worked hard enough for the company all these years,but in order to help Charlie to realize the difference between him and Jackie,the boss asked Charlie to do the following.“Go and find out if there is anyone selling watermelons in the market.” Charlie went,returned and only said,“Yes.” The boss asked,“How much per kilogram?” Charlie went back to the market to ask and returned to answer,“$12 per kg.”

The boss told Charlie that he would ask Jackie the same question.Jackie went,returned and said,“Boss,only one person selling watermelons.$12 per kg,$100 for 10kg.He has a total of 340 melons.On the table there are 58 melons,and every melon weighs about 15kg,bought from the South two days ago.They are fresh,red,and of good quality.”Charlie was struck and he realized the difference between himself and Jackie.He decided not to leave but to learn from Jackie.
