[04:41.56]An Unusual Millionaire [04:45.55]Exercise 2 [04:49.19]Directions: [04:52.75]Listen to the passage and then fill in the table with what you hear from the tape. [05:00.64]An Unusual Millionaire [05:04.70]I know a man called John Smith who is a very unusual millionair [05:13.24]What makes him unusual is that he has no money [05:20.18]He says the average millionaire never uses money [05:26.34]and always gets other people to pay for taxis or drinks [05:33.00]This is because he is so used to thinking in millions [05:39.62]that small amounts of money are not worth thinking about. [05:45.89]But this does not mean he has no worries [05:51.58]On the contrary, the average millionaire worries constantly about his businesses [06:00.43]His great wealth [06:04.14]also makes it difficult for him to be happy and comfortable with other people [06:12.20]Are they friendly because they like him [06:16.67]Or do they pretend to like him because they want his money [06:23.18]John Smith says he feels very sorry for millionaires [06:29.45]who, instead of being masters of their wealth, are slaves of their millions [06:37.76]In one way, however, John Smith always behaves exactly like a millionair [06:46.22]I mean he never has any money and generally manages to persuade [06:54.40]someone else to pay for his drinks. [06:59.58]But unlike other very rich men, he gives back good value for money [07:08.11]He is full of jokes and fun.An evening spent with him is not cheap. [07:16.50]because he is usually very thirsty, but he always makes people happy [07:24.10]He does not give much thought for tomorrow,He is the happiest man I have even met [07:32.56]Whenever I meet him, he tells me [07:37.78]"In money I am not rich, but in peace of mind I am a millionaire [07:46.60]And then the world's richest, penniless man usually adds, with a smill [07:55.38]"Do you have time for another drink?" How can I refuse? [08:03.08]Exercise 3 [08:07.04]Directions: [08:10.25]Listen to the passage again, and then work in pairs to answer the following questions.
