Lesson A
Page 57, Listening
A. Listen to this profile of a successful businessman. Who is
he? (CD 1, Track 35)
He may have been your typical teenager in most ways. But he
was very different in one particular way: he started his own
magazine. At the age of 15 he managed the magazine, called
Student. It was written for and about young people in school. He
was very busy, but it was a satisfying job.
His next business venture was completely different. He
and some friends started a mail order record company. It was
also the same year, 1970, when his music discount store was
opened in England. It made a lot of money.
In the early 1990s, he sold his successful music
business and used the money for another business idea: an
airline company. And so, Virgin Airways Ltd. was born. To
compete with other airlines, his company offered good prices to
customers. Today Virgin is known for its excellent service.
Richard Branson now runs the Virgin Group, Ltd. He
employs 50,000 people and in many different fields, such as
book publishing, financial services, modeling, and even bridal
services! Not bad for a teenager from the UK who dreamed of
editing his own magazine!

Thanks, Chuckie.OK, guest number 1, heres

a question. Which is more important to you,
looks or personality?
Umm.well, although looks are important, I
think a womans personality is the most
important thing.
Really? Are you telling the truth?
Of course!
OK, whatever. Guest number 2, heres another
question: where do you always take a girl on a
first date?
Lets see.I dont have much experience, but
Id probably take her somewhere romantic.
Maybe we could go see a basketball game or
something.
Oh, thats really romantic. Guest number 2,
heres another question: What is the most
inappropriate thing youve ever done on a date?
We were at dinner. It was boring. I said I was
going to the restroom. Actually, I left the
restaurant and went home.
You left your date in the restaurant? Thats
really impolite!! . . . OK, Guest number 1, where
will you take me on our first date?
You could come to my house and have dinner.
That sounds wonderful!
Yeah. My mothers a great cook.
Your mother? You live with your mother?

intelligent and talented. And Im handsome. At

two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin

became sick. Theyre calling it
the holiday cruise disease.
It sounds scary. What caused it?
The doctors arent exactly sure, but they know it
was something in the food the passengers ate.
OK, give us the details.
All right, heres the story: On Friday night, the
ship departed around 10 p.m. with 300
passengers on board. By Sunday morning,
some people reported feeling lightheaded. They
stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half
of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some
of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman
about her experience.
Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so
much I couldnt eat anything. It was really
terrible!
Whats the situation now?
Well, the ship had to return home on Monday
after only two and a half days at seaand most
of the passengers went straight to the hospital
then.
How are they doing now?
Theyre exhaustedmany havent slept for 48
hoursbut theyre doing fine.
Thats good news. Its too bad they couldnt
enjoy their vacation.
Yes, it is. And thats the next problem. The
passengers are asking for their money back, but
the company doesnt want to refund the full
amount.
Whats going to happen then?
Nobody knows. Ill keep following the story,
though and Ill have more details for you
tomorrow.

bought the torch and gave it to me.

Nothing. A neighbor gave it to us before he

this toy is not a Lehmann toy.
Greta:
Its not?
Host:
Nope. Im sorry, but its a fake.

urban sprawl. The city is too expensive, but Im

You dont think its too dangerous . . . or theres
not enough privacy?
Nah. I prefer it here. I get too lonely when Im in
the suburbs. I like the energy of the city.

Youre all familiar with the topic of urban sprawl.

Well, in todays radio show, we will talk to three

Im sorry about that, but I lived in the city before.

Thats different. When I get married, I think I
want to live in the suburbs.
Why is that?
Well, its easy to live in the city when youre

Please raise your hand if you have a

Me? OK. Hello, Dr. Schwartz. First of all, I
enjoyed your presentation.
Thank you.
Now, heres my question. I know its good
to drink water, but I only have a glass a
day. Is that healthy?
You really should drink six to eight glasses
of water a day. If you do that, youll feel less
tired and of course, less thirsty.
How about coffee? Is it dangerous?
A cup of coffee a day is fine. If you drink a
lot of coffee, however, youll have trouble
sleeping at night. And thats not good.
And theres another question over here
Good evening, doctor. I have a question
about dieting. Do you recommend weight
loss drugs? I want to lose weight.
Remember: you have to change your habits
to lose weight. And you have to make those
changes forever.
So?
So, you dont want to take drugs forever. I
dont think its healthy. On the other hand,
theres a healthy solution: if you change
your diet and eat fewer fatty foods, youll
lose weight. Thats a habit you can continue
forever.
We have time for one last question.

Man 2:

I want to lose weight, too. Does that mean I

dont eat too much of it!

No. I was on vacation all last week. I thought I
would meet her today.
Well, that wont happen now!
What happened?
I heard from someone in the HR department
that she lied on her resume. She wrote down a
lot of previous job experience. None of it was
true.
I can't believe she did that!
I'm not surprised. I think people lie on their
resumes sometimes.
Really? Would you ever lie?
Not on a resumeit's too dangerous. But I
might tell a white lie to help someone. It would
depend on the circumstances.
Well, I don't know. I think if a person starts lying,
it might never stop. I think it's safer to never
start lying.
I think you have a strong sense of morals, and I
respect that. But in the real world, I think you

someone's feelings.
Maybe. Anyway, I feel sorry for Cindy. Whats

say, I was fired. People will respect her for
telling the truth.

Can you be more specific?

Well, I read the newspaper on the train to work.
At night I watch the local TV news, although its
not always so trustworthy.
What do you mean?
The reporters on those programs tend to
exaggerate. And they report stories in a simple
way. Its more like entertainment sometimes.
So you like the really serious news stories.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Mr. Carter Standing next to me is
Lucinda Ross. Whats your opinion?

Entertainment Now.

famous people.

That sounds tough.

Its hard for the construction industry. Its not
easy to build in Greenland.
It sounds so harsh. Why would anyone want to
go there?
There are big mountain ranges on the coasts.
Theyre great for hiking and outdoor sports. And
there are lots of animals there.You can
sometimes see whales swimming in the
harbors.
That sounds cool! OK, so if its not really a
green place, why was it named Greenland?
The first settlers wanted to attract other people.
They gave it an attractive name.

Im finishing my paper. Its due tomorrow, Blake.
Whats the topic?
Its about Greenland.
Greenland. Hmmm.thats part of Canada,

I think you need to study your world geography,
Blake.
Well, isnt it near Canada?
Yes, its off the coast of northeast Canada, but
its part of Denmark.
Oh, I didnt know that. Well, whats your paper
about exactly?
In my paper, I answer the question Is
Greenland really green? In other words, is
Greenland covered by a lot of plants and trees?
Is it?
What do you think?
Lets seeGreenland is in the Arctic circle
way up north. Its cold, so Is Greenland really
green? Id answer probably not.
Youd be correct. Its too cold there. In the north,
a lot of the ground is frozen. The summers are
short, so only the surface thaws.

Come in here, Elise. You should see this show!

What is it?
Its called The Titanic of the Sky. Its about the
Hindenburg, a great engineering feat.
The Hindenburg
You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in
1934. Thirty-five people died.
Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from
Germany to the United States. It crashed as it
was landing.
Right. Its so funny looking, dont you think? It
doesnt look anything like the airplanes we have
today.
That true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin
anyway? It seems so dangerous.
Well, some people called the Hindenburg
mans greatest achievement in flight. They
thought it was safe, I guess.
Who rode in it anyway?
Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated
between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One
person said it was like a flying hotel.
It sounds pretty great.

Jay:
Elise:
Jay:

Elise:

Yeah, and it was fast. Thats why people rode it.

They wanted to get to their destination faster.
Why didnt they just take a jet plane?
Elise! You know they didnt have jets back then.
Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from
Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin
could do it in half that time. It was speedy.
Well, maybe Ill sit down and watch a little bit.
Maybe Ill learn something
