M: Hi, Laura.
W: How was your final？
M: Absolutely no idea. Anyway, it's just wonderful to have finished the exam.
W: Yeah, to sleep in every morning.
M: Well, I've got a lot to do before I leave for Chicago. I've got a lot of things I can't take back with me and I don't know what to do with them. I'm wondering if I can sell them to someone before going back to Chicago. Perhaps you could give me some advice.
W: Well, it depends on what sort of things they are.
M: There are quite a lot. I have a computer which is secondhand and not worth much. What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff. Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.
W: I see. Well, there are several alternatives. First of all, you could put up notices around the university about the books, you know, on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second- and third-year students will see them. People are always keen to buy cheap textbooks.
M: Then what should I say on the notices？
W: Just put the titles, authors and prices you want. Don't forget to put your phone number.
M: That's a good idea. What about the furniture？
W: You could try the same thing, but usually students are away all summer so they don't want to buy furniture now. Another place to try might be a second-hand shop. Someone from the shop will usually come around and give you a free quote, and then you can decide. But normally you won't get much money for that sort of stuff.

(18)
A．She is going to see Laura.
B．She'll go to the bank.
C．She is going to see Betty.
D．She'll go home.
M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn't happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves.
W: Yes, and then there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted, things like that. After all, it's not really funny to be like that.
M: Oh, I think that's because we're embarrassed. We don't know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we might get like that, so we laugh. What about the custard pie routine？
W: What do you mean "custard pie routine"？
M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, he picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face.
W: That never makes me laugh very much, because you can guess it's going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must be because it's the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quite have the courage to.
M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings.
W: It must have come a bit expensive.
M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china.

Laura Bush: A Second Look at the First Lady
A Teacher and Educator
When Laura Bush walked into the room wearing a stunning tangerine(橘红色) suit, I wanted to say—just the way I would to a friend—"Have you been working out？" "Have you changed your hairstyle？" She looked slimmer and even younger than the woman I interviewed a little less than four years ago, on the day before the world changed. Back then, on September 10, 2001, Washington, still reeling from an election that rested on a mere 537 votes in Florida, was recovering from culture shock. The Bushes ran a very different White House than the Clintons. They were on time for appointments, they spent quiet evenings with intimate friends, and they went to bed early. Not exactly a hip Hollywood lifestyle. But the First Lady—a title she still thinks of as too lofty and inauthentic to describe her—was winning hearts and minds. She is, after all, a teacher and educator. She taught elementary school in Houston and Austin for several years, and produced an outstanding book fair in Washington with some of America's greatest authors populating(聚集于) vast lawns filled with tents, talking to throngs about their works. Laura Bush's love of reading is partly what defines her. I always wondered if books were substitutes for the brothers and sisters she didn't have growing up in Midland, Texas if they kept her from feeling lonely.
Why She's So Popular
On the day of our visit last January, as my colleague Bill Beaman and I sat in a room waiting for the First Lady, we noticed a wall full of children's books, and thought they might be some of her favorites. The room was plain, rather cozy, and under-decorated. We were told the interview would take place in Mrs. Bush's office, and assumed this was a waiting room. Wrong. This was Laura Bush's office: child centric art and literature, a simple desk, a small sitting area, and that's it. How true to her style, I remember thinking. The tangerine suit was a compromise to the role of political wife. The office wasn't you could imagine her in jeans and a work shirt. The reason Laura Bush is perhaps the most popular First Lady since her mother-in-law, Barbara Bush, is because of the jeans and work-shirt attitude she projects to the country.
Not Exactly a "Desperate Housewife"
To her critics, Laura Bush's solid and consistent behavior. translates as dull, boring, she's been called a Stepford wife, obedient and risk opposing. But after 9.11, some began to see her true value. Laura Bush had become the "nurturer-in-chief", offering the kind of compassion and rhetoric to the 9.11 families—and the country—that you can't fake. She emerged from that tragedy as a true believer in the fight against terrorism. But her war would be waged in the classroom.
She jump-started an educational reform. program in Afghanistan that would allow women to attend school for the first time. "Women were not empowered(授权力), and the result was that one-half of the population could contribute to society," she says. "We are building an American school in Kabul, where women teachers can be trained and have a safe place to live...a teachers' institute, so they can go back to their provinces and teach."
Laura Bush's commitment to education and literacy has gone well beyond chairing the occasional benefit fund-raiser, or offering photos as she tours schools. "My whole life I've been interested in education and children. I've done a lot of work with teaching recruitment organizations, like Troops to Teachers and Teach for America. I'd like to encourage people to choose teaching as a career because it's so important." She taught underprivileged kids in Austin, where she was a librarian. Laura's daughter Jenna, a recent graduate of the University of Texas, has followed in her mother's footsteps and is teaching at a Washington, D.C., public school.
