Coke Addict 可乐瘾君

Mike:: Let's go get a coke. I gotta have some caffeine.

Susan: How many cokes have you had today?

Mike: This is my third. I have 3 or 4 cokes everyday. I'm a Coke addict..

Susan: You should really try to cut down.

Mike: Why? I love it. Okay. I admit it. I'm hooked on caffeine..

Susan: It's not just the caffeine, but the amount of sugar that's in soft drinks. All that sugar and caffeine can't be good for you.

Mike: Oh, I know it. But I just can't stop. I've had this caffeine habit for years.

Susan: Have you ever tried to cut down?

Mike: Actually I have. If I go a day without a coke my body gets shaky and I feel tense.

Susan: It sounds like you've got a real problem. But you're not alone. Have you ever gone to a doctor or tried to get help?

Mike: I never have. I've thought about it, but just haven't taken the time.

Susan: What are you doing after work? I'll take you to a place that can help you.

Mike: You sure seem to know a lot about addictive habits.

Susan: I do. I used to drink 5 cokes a day myself!

Mike: Hey, I appreciate you helping me. I really do.

Susan: No problem. That's what friends are for.

Teen Sex 少年与性

Dr. Rosen:: 48% of high school girls and 61% of boys are sexually active in the U.S.

Mrs. Smith: It is amazing how many teens are having sex (发生性关系)in the 90s. Our

country has become totally promiscuous(男女关系混乱的). I understand that nearly one million teenage girls become pregnant each year.

Dr. Rosen: That's true. But America wasn't always this way. When I was a boy, teen pregnancy was almost unheard of. And if a girl did become pregnant, she was ostracized(受到排斥的).

Rampant promiscuity in our society has only been around since the mid 1960's. That when the so-called "sexual revolution" began.

Mrs. Smith: Yes, I've heard about it even though I was just kid during the 60s. Things are certainly different now. Today, nobody even blinks(眨眼)when they hear about someone

becoming pregnant.

Dr. Rosen: That's because it's become an "everyday thing."

Mrs. Smith: What really bothers me, is that all these young, unmarried mothers are all on

welfare, and it's you and I who are paying for them sowing their wild oats(播种野燕麦,比喻性生活放荡).

Dr. Rosen: I would have to agree. What's worse, is that it doesn't stop there. Sexually active teens are far more likely than those who have never had sex to practice a number of

self-destructive behaviors including drug and alcohol abuse(吸毒酗酒), school delinquency (青少年学生犯罪), even suicide. We tend to look at these problems in isolation, but studies show that they are usually connected to each other.

Mrs. Smith: But what can a parent do these days? I mean, most parents have no idea what their kids are doing. many, don't care.

Dr. Rosen: I think most parents can sense changes in their teen, especially when something is wrong. Sex by age 16 may reflect a "risk-taking profile."(冒险的特性)If a parent suspects their teen are sexually active, they should seriously consider getting help for their teen.

Mrs. Smith: I just can't understand why anyone would dare have sex in this age of AIDS. I mean, a one night stand (一夜鬼混;一夜的停留演出)with a stranger could kill you..

Dr. Rosen: I know what you're saying. It doesn't make sense, but people don't think logically when it comes to sex. They think emotionally. Let's face it. People are weak when it comes to sex. Ironically, at a time when sex has never been more dangerous, popular culture has never been more sexual. "Sexy" TV shows like "90210" influence teens more than people think.

Mrs. Smith: I agree. I never let my kids watch those kind of shows. But it doesn't seem to matter. Even if they don't watch them, they hear about them from their friends at school. Unfortunately, I think our "If it feels good, do it" lifestyle had influenced much of the world.

Dr. Rosen: I know what you're saying. American movies, music and books are our number one export. And they certainly do influence people in other countries. The problem with entertainment is that it rarely or never shows the "real side" of illicit sex. The reality of teen sex is that is the root cause of a chain of problems in our society. Teen sex means teen pregnancy which means more poverty, more crime, billions in costs to taxpayers and more abortion and

disease. There are over 2.5 million cases of sexually transmitted diseases (性病)among teens alone reported each year!

Mrs. Smith: I guess people really think that it will never happen to them. A lot of them think "I won't get pregnant" or " I won't get AIDS," but they are just fooling themselves.

Dr. Rosen: A recent study found that boys who had sexual experience were six times more likely to have used alcohol, five times more likely to have used marijuana (大麻)and 10 times more likely to have been in a car with a drug-using driver!

Mrs. Smith: I guess, I've been worrying about my daughter lately. I don't like the kids she's been hanging around with.. I just don't know how to talk with her.

Dr. Rosen: The best thing you can do is keep communication lines open with her. Talk to her. But if you keep hearing "I don't want to talk about it" and it looks like she's getting into

problem behaviors, you might want to consider getting counseling (咨询)for both of you. Mrs. Smith: Do you have any other suggestions?

Dr. Rosen: I know that this may sound bold in today's society, but why don't you try religion? Sometimes a little spirituality can do wonders for a person who's tried everything else. Also, try getting together as a family at least for a few minutes everyday. The American family is eroding, because none spends any time together any more.

Mrs. Smith: That's a great idea. Well, I'd better run. I've got to pick up some take-out food for the kids tonight, because I have to go to a special meeting.

Dr. Rosen (to himself): I wonder if she heard anything I said.

Diet Crazy 节食热潮

Shinji:: Mike, why are so many Americans overweight?

Mike: Well, that's a good question, Shinji. You'd think that with the current fitness craze (健美热)in the U.S. there wouldn't be so many over-weight Americans.

Shinji: Just how many people are overweight?

Mike: About 40% of Americans are overweight. Interestingly, one study said that low-income groups have a higher percentage of over-weight people than higher income families.

Shinji: Are there any other factors like that in the study?

Mike: Yes. The study also said that the hotter the climate, the lower the percentage of obese (过于肥胖的)people..

Shinji: That makes sense (有道理,说得通). When it's hot, you usually don't feel like eating a lot.

Mike: Is that why Japanese people are typically skinnier than Americans?

Shinji: Well, our diet has a lot less fat and oil than American food. And Americans eat a lot more meat than we do.

Mike: You're right. And we also eat more sugar and junk food. But there's another reason why so many Americans are fat.

Shinji: What's that?

Mike: Nobody exercises anymore - not even kids. The average American home has the TV on for six hours a day!

Shinji: Wow! No wonder you Americans are so fat. You don't get enough exercise. Say, Mike, aren't you getting a little bigger in the waist?(你的腰围是不是又粗了一点儿?)

Mike: yeah, I guess so.

Shinji: you really need to watch what you eat and get some exercise.

Mike: Hey, I started a diet and lost 10 pounds.

Shinji: So what happened?

Mike: I quit and gained it all back plus 5 pounds..

Shinji: What's that supposed to mean?

Mike: Look in the mirror, man. (老兄,照照镜子去吧)

Generation X-ers X 新生代

Yoko:: So what year were you born?

Jim: 1971. yes, I'm part of the Generation X.

Yoko: Generation X? I think I've heard of it, but I don't know what it means.

Jim: It's basically a trendy classification(时兴的分类)for the generation born in the United States after 1965. It was coined (造出新词)in 1991 by author Douglas Coupland, who wrote a book by that title.

Yoko: So what is the distinction of the Generation X? What characterizes them?

Jim: Well, they are usually college educated and dissatisfied with their careers.

Yoko: So, they are basically overeducated and underemployed?

Jim: Right. And they're also have a pessimistic attitude about society. They don't see life getting any better. They're disillusioned (不抱幻想)with corporate America(美国大家庭). They don't even like the label "Generation X. "

Yoko: I can see why. Nobody likes to be stereotyped.

Jim: There are actually two different stereotypes associated with the Generation X-ers. One is the slacker(懒惰散漫的人)image in which the individual has no motivation and is a whiner (爱发牢骚的人). One the other extreme is the highly educated computer hacker (爱玩电脑的人)who has his own business.

Yoko: So tell me some more Generation X lingo(特有的词汇,隐语)?.

Jim: Sure. There's another term called "McJob(低薪职业)." It was also coined by Coupland and refers to low-paying jobs with no prestige and no future.

Yoko: Like working at McDonalds? Is that where they got the "Mc"?

Jim: Exactly. And to a large extent it's true. You just can't depend on a company for lifetime employment anymore.

Yoko: Lifetime employment is even beginning to change in Japan.

Jim: That's true. The wave of the future (未来的浪潮)is really working on your own. Yoko: By the way, what do you do for a living, Jim?

Jim: Oh, I'm a free-lance writer. I work at home.

Yoko: I should have guessed.

Kevin:: So what's your favorite golden oldies?

Keiko: You mean my favorite song? I don't know. that's like asking me what was my favorite day last year.

Keiko: I have no idea. What makes you think that?

Kevin: Well every time I go to a karaoke bar in Japan and look at the song selections, I only find about 3 English songs: "Yesterday", "My Way", and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"

Keiko: Oh, that's funny but you're right. My gosh, you must have been to a lot of karaoke bars.

Kevin: As a matter of fact I have. I swear they all use the same song list book.

Keiko: By the way, what's your favorite song from 1965?

Kevin: "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones.

Keiko: I'm not surprised.

Office Romance 公司恋情

Ramone:: Hey Jen, would you like to go to dinner with me?

Jenny: I don't know. You know what they say about office romances.

Ramone: No. I don't. What do they say about office romances?

Jenny: They say you shouldn't mix love and work.

Ramone: That's silly. What I do on my own time is nobody else's business. Besides, it pretty hard to meet people outside of the office when we spend long hours here.

Jenny: You've got a point. But I once dated one of my supervisors and all of my co-workers accused him of favoritism(偏爱,偏心). Then when the relationship went bad, he fired me.

Ramone: Hey, it's the 90s. People fall in love with people they work with. That's a fact.

Jenny: That may be true. But I don't want an inter-office relationship to affect my productivity.

Ramone: If it does, it will only make you more productive, because we can support each other.

Jenny: You're sounding like we're already married.

Ramone: Good grief(哎呀,天哪). All I did was ask you out. I'm sorry.

Jenny: Well, I still don't feel right about it.

Ramone: I'm talking about dinner tonight, not a lifetime.

Jenny: It starts with dinner, but then it gets out of hand(无法控制). Besides, haven't you asked out every woman in the entire office?

Ramone: I like company(我喜欢交际).

Jenny: Company? I heard about you from Linda. She said you were an octopus(用情不专的人)!

Ramone: What can I say? I'm a passionate (多情的)guy.

Jenny: Well, I hope you can find something else to be passionate about.

Ramone: You want to go out with me and you know it.

Jenny: In your dreams. Now if you don't mind, I've got some work to do.

Ramone: Okay, I get the message. Hey, do you have any sisters?
