[04:23.12]Exercise  1

[04:26.62]Directions:

[04:30.14]Before you listen to the passage,

[04:34.28]can you guess from the title what the passage might be about?

[04:41.56]An Unusual Millionaire

[04:45.55]Exercise  2

[04:49.19]Directions:

[04:52.75]Listen to the passage and then fill in the table with what you hear from the tape.

[05:00.64]An Unusual Millionaire

[05:04.70]I know a man called John Smith who is a very unusual millionair

[05:13.24]What makes him unusual is that he has no money

[05:20.18]He says the average millionaire never uses money

[05:26.34]and always gets other people to pay for taxis or drinks

[05:33.00]This is because he is so used to thinking in millions

[05:39.62]that small amounts of money are not worth thinking about.

[05:45.89]But this does not mean he has no worries

[05:51.58]On the contrary, the average millionaire worries constantly about his businesses

[06:00.43]His great wealth

[06:04.14]also makes it difficult for him to be happy and comfortable with other people

[06:12.20]Are they friendly because they like him

[06:16.67]Or do they pretend to like him because they want his money

[06:23.18]John Smith says he feels very sorry for millionaires

[06:29.45]who, instead of being masters of their wealth, are slaves of their millions

[06:37.76]In one way, however, John Smith always behaves exactly like a millionair

[06:46.22]I mean he never has any money and generally manages to persuade

[06:54.40]someone else to pay for his drinks.

[06:59.58]But unlike other very rich men, he gives back good value for money

[07:08.11]He is full of jokes and fun.An evening spent with him is not cheap.

[07:16.50]because he is usually very thirsty, but he always makes people happy

[07:24.10]He does not give much thought for tomorrow,He is the happiest man I have even met

[07:32.56]Whenever I meet him, he tells me

[07:37.78]"In money I am not rich, but in peace of mind I am a millionaire

[07:46.60]And then the world's richest, penniless man usually adds, with a smill

[07:55.38]"Do you have time for another drink?" How can I refuse?

[08:03.08]Exercise 3

[08:07.04]Directions:

[08:10.25]Listen to the passage again, and then work in pairs to answer the following questions
