Barry:Hey Larry~It's great to see you here!
Larry:Oh,hi Barry~What's up with you lately?
Barry:I have been quite busy working around the house.
Larry:Oh yeah?I hope everything's going smoothly.
Barry:Well,actually,could you give me a hand this weekend?
Larry:Is it to do with your house?
Barry:Yes,landscaping my yard.
Larry:That sounds like a big job.
Barry:It might be,it depends on how I decide to do it.
Larry:You don’t know yet?
Barry:I can’t make up my mind.I’m vacillating between desert land-scape with cacti or lush green grass with lots of flowers.What do you think it should be?
Larry:Well,a desert landscape has a lot less maintenance,but nothing beats a nice green lawn.
Barry:Thus my dilemma.What would you do?
Larry:Let me ask you this- how much time will you spend out there.
Barry:With my schedule,probably not much.
Larry:Then I would go with the desert.Keeping up a grass lawn is a lot of work.
Barry:Yea,I think you are right.
Larry:Ok then,I'll see you this weekend.

A:Why are all those people running?
B:They are running a race to get a cup.
A:Who will get the cup?
B:The person who wins.
A:Then why are all the others running?
A:I’m fed up with my marriage.
B:Why do you say that?Everyone thinks that you have a wonderful wife.
A:Oh,no.Years ago,when we were poor,we had to do our best to make ends meet.It was a hard time,but we were happier then.
B:Now you are quite rich,aren’t you?
A:Yes,but we are always squabbling(争论)about unimportant things.
B:That sounds like everyday married life to me.
The distinguished old man was being interviewed by a journalist.“ I understand,sir,” said the journalist,“ that you have just celebrated your ninetieth birthday.”

“ Well,sir,I hope to have the privilege of interviewing you on your one hundredth birthday.”
