Part 2 Passages
Passage 1 In Unusual Shop
Transcript
I soon realized that I had entered an unusual kind of shop. There wer e no goods on display; there was no shop-window: nothing but a number of empty shelves at one end of the room in front of which a man was stan ding on a raised platform, and shouting loudly that the greatest sale of the year was about to begin. I decided to stay and see what would happen.
A harassed assistant began to pile all sorts of odds and ends on the sh elves: table-lamps, cutlery-sets, clocks, electric razors, crockery, vases, an d a large quantity of small packets all similarly wrapped in bright red pap er. When the man at the table was satisfied that a sufficiently large crowd
of people had collected, he began distributing the packets, asking for the small sum of three pence in return, and declaring that the value of the con tents was fifty times as much.
I paid three pence for my packet and was immediately informed that I should not open it until after the sale. The money I had given, I found, e ntitled me to bid for anything on the shelves. All these beautiful and extre mely valuable objects, the man announced, would be given away, simply given away. He was as good as his word, for he held up an electric razor and asked a young man (who from the look of his face needed it) whether it was worth six pence. The man had no doubt about the matter and was promptly handed the razor for the sum asked. The same occurred with a number of other articles.
Then, instead of asking for small sums like six pence, the man began to demand larger amounts for “very rare, high-quality antiques”. The peo ple present, thinking that these too were being “given away”, soon found t hemselves paying a great deal of money for useless, yacht-like lamps and ugly clocks in carved, heavy frames. I decided I had better go quickly bef ore being tempted into buying something I did not want. I went into the s treet and opened my prize packet, only to find that I had been rewarded w ith a cheap bottle of scent.

Passage 1 Bargains or Fixed Price Shopping
Transcript
Once I have settled in my new job and new place I started looking for good places to shop around. In my home country, there was lot of bargai ning in almost every store. However, I heard that in the US bargaining is not allowed in large stores. Therefore, I started to explore different stores to compare prices. I spoke to some American colleagues and neighbours about the different shopping avenues. From whatever information I colle cted I could find out that some of the best buys could be made at the barg ain or discount stores. That was the first time I came to know about the b argain shopping in the US.
From what I have learnt, your could make use of the following techni ques for bargain shopping Watch for sales. This is when items are offere d at a discounted price. The sale might be a set a percentage discount. Sa les are generally advertised. Be sure to always check the local paper issu ed on Sunday; usually all the sales for the week will be announced. Man y stores will also have clearance sales. Items on clearance generally will
not be reordered, so he store needs to make room for new goods. Often t hese sales are unadvertised. Great bargains can be found at clearance sale s!
Look for and use coupons. These can be found in the Sunday paper, i n magazines, sometimes in the telephone book. A coupon is a little slip o f paper allowing you to get a small discount when you buy the specific ite m described. The coupon will say “Save 40 cents on any Pledge”, for exa mple. That means that if you present the coupon at the time of purchase, and if you bought the correct brand and size, and if the expiration date ha s not passed, you will pay 40 cents less for that can of Pledge furniture po lish. If the store is having a “double coupon day”, the coupon is worth tw ice as much (you would pay 80 cents less for a can of Pledge).
Purchases can be made very inexpensively at garage sales and second -hand stores. Used items in good condition often can be found for a low p rice. Also, check newspapers and local bulletin boards for listings of use d goods for sale.

Passage 2 American Cosmonaut
Dennis Tito paid the Russian government $20, 000, 000 for the chanc e to travel in a Soyez space craft to the new International Space Station. His space flight will be launched on April 30th.
Mr Tito says he has been interested in space travel since he was seve nteen years old. That was when the former Soviet Union launched the fir st satellite, Sputnik. This interest led him to become a rocket scientist. H e worked for the United States Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. H e left that job after a few years to start an investment business.
Today, Ennis Tito’s company is among the nation’s largest investme nt businesses. Reports say he is worth about 200, 000, 000 dollars. So he can easily pay 20, 000, 000dollars for a trip into space.
This is not the first time the Russian space programme has earned nee ded money by selling seats on its spacecraft. A Japanese television report er flew on Mir for a price of 12, 000, 000 dollars. And the American spac e agency NASA paid 400, 000, 000 dollars to send several American astr onauts to Mir.
Mr Tito is now living and working at Russia’s Star City training area to prepare for his ten-day trip. Why does he want to go into space? Mr T ito says he has been on Earth for sixty years and the now wants to take a l ook at the planet form space.

Mark was a little too early. He stood in the road by the entrance to th e school and wondered what to do while he waited. Perhaps after all he s hould have come with Nancy’s two sons as their mother had suggested. But they were so much older that he, besides, they never talked to him. H e was convinced they looked down on him.
He walked slowly into the school. There were already abut a hundre d children there, most of them moving confidently around in groups, obvi
ously glad to see each other again after the holidays. Mark envied them they made him feel lonely.
It was easy to pick out the newcomers. In the bustle and noise, they s tood out as if they had been soaked with water. Mark went to one of the buildings. He opened the door and walked in.。
