 Amanda: Mike, can you please pass me the newspaper when you finish reading the sports pages?


Mike: Actually, I checked the scores ages ago. Now I'm just reading my horoscope. I recently developed an interest in astrology. I make sure to read my daily forecast either in the newspaper or online.
Amanda: Are you serious? I never knew you believed in all of that! You're so gullible 1, Mike. You really should break the habit of reading your horoscope every day, before it's too late.
Mike: What's your star sign? Let's see-your birthday's in August. Oh, Amanda, you're a Leo! That means you're a really good leader, and slightly stubborn 2, too.
Amanda: That's ridiculous! How can you define 3 a person's personality according to just 12 zodiac signs? Honestly, Mike-you shouldn't take horoscopes so seriously. I think it's silly to rely on your horoscope to tell you about your characteristics, love life or career.
Mike: Come on, Amanda-lighten up! I just like reading them for fun.
Amanda: Ok, fine. Now hurry, we're going to be late for the party.
Mike: I think I'll pass-my horoscope says I should avoid going to unfamiliar 4 places today to avoid bad luck!
