W: You mean you can only do it if you have enough money to live your life without having to go to work? So, when would
30、you like to retire John? M: (9)I would like to retire at the age of 60, I think. Then I can get my pensiona regular payment from savings I make each month. And later I will get a state pensiona payment from the government. Now, how about you Mary? W: Its not really about the money for meI just want
31、to work forever. (10-1)I get job satisfaction and as long as I enjoy it, Ill keep doing it, John. M: (10-2)Job satisfactionthat is a good reason.

34、d habits? M: Of course not. Im perfect, Ive no habits that are bad. Yes, I do have some bad habits. (12)One of my bad habits is fidgeting and I think Im a very high energy person, so especially when Im on the phone, mixed with my slightly obsessive compulsive tendencies, I tend to arrange all the th
35、ings on a desk. If there are pens and books and different things on the desk, I would be turning them and arranging them in order and pretty much always using my hands and keeping them busy. Although this might not be such a bad habit, (13)perhaps for people who are with me or next to me they might
36、be a little bit uncomfortable, because it seems like, you know, Im a bit nervous or, you know, have something on my mind so. W: Not in confidence for your speech, yeah.

37、have you? W: Yeah. M: Well, then I guess that really shows it is one of my bad habits.

38、robably where this habit has come from. W: I see. Yeah, do you have any other bad habits other than fidgeting?

47、big difference between public and private in American higher education involves money. Public colleges and universities are less expensive because they get money from the states that started them to educate local citizens.
