1) what the President of the USA should do.
2) what all people needed in the world.
3) what resolution should be taken in the U.N.
A13 The girl thought the best way of solving all problems is
1) to have a party.
2) to take wine and cakes.
3) to love each other.
A14 The girl's future profession was determined by her
1) impression of the live play she saw in the theatre.
2) desire to play Cordelia or Lady Macbeth in the theatre.
3) desire to make people feel the taste of unity with each other.
It was in the third grade, when they took us for a field trip to see Richard HI in Boston.
I’d never seen a live play (AS) before. I didn't understand what was going on up
there (A9),
but 1 could tell that there was a whole bunch of people hating each other, going to war
against each other, and just plain killing each other — kind of like all the wars and
murders I heard about on the news. The last hour, I was really spacing out, desperately
bored and upset with it all, wanting to go back to class and just take a spelling test or
draw a picture.
Then finally it ended and they closed the curtain. But then — right then — they did
something that I wasn't ready for. They opened the curtain again (A10), and there was
everybody who'd been running around hating each other and killing each other for the
last three and a half hours — they were all up there (A10), holding hands, smiling at
each other, patting each other on the back, smiling at us, taking a nice bow (A10), and
that was when it really hit me. Hit me hard (All). They looked so beautiful, so
peaceful and loving. Richard the Third was standing right next to the woman he'd
murdered, and she was holding his hand and smiling at him as if they were about to go
to get something to eat together as soon as they washed off their make-up and changed
their clothes. And I had that picture in my head all the way back in the bus, and I
lay awake in my bed practically all that night, thinking, that's what the world
needs (A12). We need to get the U.N. to pass a resolution that on a certain Sunday,
everybody in the world — the President of the United States, the head of Russia, the
murderers, the bank robbers, the millionaires, the coal miners — will just line up and
hold hands and take a bow: I decided that all people would suddenly be able to get up,
walk over to the front stage, and say, "We really all love each other ,(A13), and now
we're going to change out of our costumes and have a party. You can all come too.
Cakes and cookies and wine, all on us!" And that's why I wanted to act: so I could do
that (A14). Whether
I was playing Snow White or the stepmother, Cordelia or Lady Macbeth, I wanted
people to see me get up off the floor and take my place in line, smiling and holding
hands with everybody, so I could give them a taste of what it would be like if the whole
world could take a curtain call.

Bl
A. The speaker never uses sugar in his coffee.
Speaker 6
My father brought me up with Turkish coffee, but our preparation was a function of
lack of time, so for us it consisted of throwing in a heaping scoop of Turkish coffee,
adding boiling water, stirring, let it sit for 5 minutes, then drinking it. It's not exactly the
standard way of drinking Turkish coffee but I still love it. Most places that prepare
Turkish coffee sweeten the stuff for western taste, I hate the way they do this.
B. The speaker likes the Western type of making coffee, (extra)
C. The speaker takes his coffee in the nearest cafe.
Speaker 4
I'm a coffee addict and I am also hopelessly lazy. I drink 90% of my coffee outside my
home — which means it's pretty tough to keep grinds. I also live in the city which
means a fresh hot cup is only a block or so away. Then my girlfriend got me this nice
little machine for Christmas. A fresh hot cup is always about 20 seconds away. It's
obviously not as good as freshly brewed, but it's goo4-enough for my tastes.
D. The speaker changed the country and his method of using coffee.
Speakers
When I lived in Australia I had a blade grinder, and tried lots of different types of
beans. Over here in Italy, however, nobody does that, which perhaps is a bit
surprising considering how seriously they take their coffee. The method for brewing
coffee here, which wasn't mentioned in your link, is the moka. I'm drinking a cup right
now, it is good. I use Illy Moka blend, which is the most expensive coffee here but it is
simply sensational. Lavazza is very good also.
E. The speaker prefers the blend for its price and taste.
Speaker 2
If you're really lazy like me, I think you can get a perfectly decent cup of coffee from
the Folgers Special Roast. It's the one with the yellow label on the front. It's a solid
blend for every day, especially for the price. But for gourmet purposes, stick to some
different blends. Stay away from Starbucks. They burn the coffee out of their beans.
F. The speaker advises to freeze coffee beans to keep their taste.
Speaker 5
Never ever buy beans from those bulk dispensers in grocery stores. Coffee beans go
rancid very quickly because of their high oil content. Most grocery store beans are
completely stale and rancid. Coffee beans should be stored vacuum packed. Once you
break the seal they should be used within a week. If you don't use them that fast, then
freeze them. You can grind them frozen and use them as normal (do not thaw). When I
went to Kona I bought a bunch of beans there, really delicious, and the plantation tour
was fun. I never buy them normally because they cost four times higher and it's not
worth it.
