W: OK. How long would you like to stay?
M: I would like to stay for three days. By the way, we would like to go boating on the lake in the
forest there. Could you help arrange that?
W: Certainly. Which would you prefer, a rowing boat, a battery-powered one or a gas-powered one?
M: How much do they cost?
W: A rowing boat holds two and costs 1 dollar an hour but you can rent the other two kinds for
100 dollars a day.
M: How many people do they hold?
W: At most five.
M: I’d prefer an electric one for two days.
W: That’s fine. We’ll arrange your hotel room and the boat.
(Text 9)
W: Hello. The front desk told me to ask you for sightseeing advice. Am I right?

W: The hotel’s CEAP? What exactly is that?
M: We advise you on where to visit, what to eat, or how to shop during your stay here in New York.
W: Great! So where should I start my sightseeing?
M: The Statue of Liberty is always a good place to begin.
W: Well, I saw the Statue of Liberty on my last visit here. Can you recommend somewhere else?
M: Hmm. What type of interests do you have?
W: In my spare time, I really like to view art and go for walks.
M: Aha! Have you been to Central Park or the Museum of Modern Art?
W: No, but I’ve heard a lot about both.
M: Well, Central Park is wonderful for taking walks. Afterwards, you should head to the museum
to enjoy the art.
W: Great! That sounds like a plan. Thanks.

In February of 2005, three former colleagues from PayPal started a website called YouTube.
Chad Harley, Steven Chen and Jawed Kim started their company in a garage. All three had
graduated from college. Chad studied at a university in Pennsylvania and Steven and Jawed
studied computer science together at a university in Illinois. YouTube quickly became one of the
most popular websites in the world.
Because of its popularity, the three men were able to move their company to a small building
and later to a bigger building in California. With this move, they had started another famous
Silicon Valley Internet company. Internet users can use YouTube with no charge. YouTube gains
profit only through companies who pay to advertise on the website that reaches millions of viewers.
In general, the website allows users to view videos from the movie, television, or music industries
or original videos uploaded by other users. After only one year and eight months, in November
2006, the three owners announced they were selling YouTube to Google.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15th, 1929. As a young boy,
he loved books and was a good speaker. After graduating from college in 1948, King trained to be a
minister like his father. During that time, he learned about Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian leader,
and his belief in nonviolent protest.
Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott were married in 1954 and had four children.
In 1955, King became the minister of a church in Alabama. He met another minister there and
worked together to help black people. Some people didn’t like what King and his followers were
doing. In 1957 someone bombed his house and his church. He was put in prison many times for
protesting about how black people were treated.
King was famous for the speeches he gave to persuade people that things must change. He
inspired white and black people to fight for the fair treatment of blacks. In 1963 King gave his
famous speech — I have a dream — to thousands of people in Washington DC.
King led many marches in the 1960s. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He also wrote two
books about black people’s struggle for the same rights as white people. King was shot and killed
on April 4th, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
