Pets can be like close friends or members of
our family. In the United States, cats are the most
popular pets. Dogs are also popular. Many people
keep smaller animals as pets, such as rabbits, birds,
or fish. Some people keep unusual pets, such as pigs,
sheep, or snakes.
Pets help people in many ways. A barking dog
protects his family and home. Pets can also help
older people who live alone lead healthier lives.
People who cannot see or hear may use dogs to be
their eyes and ears. Also, many parents believe that
pets can teach children responsibility. A little girl
learns to take care of other living things when she
remembers to feed her cat.
But pets can also cause problems. Dogs can bite
people and hurt them. Pets may also carry diseases.
Some people worry that we spend too much money
on pets. They say that we should first take care of
people who do not have homes or enough to eat
before we take care of animals.

There are several good reasons why a college

education is important. One reason is that college
graduates get better jobs. College graduates make
more money than non-college graduates. College
graduates are usually healthier too. They live longer
and have fewer medical problems than non-college
graduates. College graduates also meet new friends
at school. Many of these friends are from different
places and have different interests. In addition,
college graduates are often good citizens. And they
usually know more about their country and the world
than non-college graduates.
Students have other reasons for going to college.
A college in the Midwest asked its students to give
their reasons. And one reason was important to
almost everyone. Most students said, College is my
first chance to get away from Mom and Dad. No one
is watching me!
I work for a business in Chicago. We fix copy

machines. But sometimes I cant fix a copier. Then
the people in the office get angry. They think I
should be able to fix everything. Theres just too
much stress in my work. So Ive made a decision.
Im going to quit my job and move back to New
York. Yes, theres also a lot of stress there. But
my friend says he can get me a job at the Rubin
Museum. It has art from India, China, and other
countries in Asia. The work is relaxing, and thats
what I need.

family incomes. And too many students graduate

from college with large debts to pay.
Still, in 2007, more than 18 million students went
to colleges and universities in the United States
more than in any other country in the world. This is
because there are good reasons for earning a college
education.

8. much

Why is a college education important? After all,
there are many successful people who didnt go to
college. For example, Bill Gates started Microsoft,
and he didnt graduate from college. Neither did
Hollywood producer Quentin Tarantino.
Also, college in the United States is expensive.

What time is it in the United States? The answer

depends on where you are. Different places are in
different time zones. A time zone is an area that has
its own time. The Pacific time zone is in the west.
Moving east, the next time zone is the Mountain
Time Zone. Most of the states in this time zone are
in the Rocky Mountains. The next time zone is the
Central Time Zone. Most states in the Midwest are
on Central Time. And states along the Atlantic Ocean
are on Eastern Time.
Different time zones can cause problems for
business people. They have to plan their telephone
calls carefully. Because when its 11:00 a.m. in New
York, its 10:00 a.m. in Chicago, 9:00 a.m. in Denver,
and only 8:00 a.m. in Seattlea time when most
people arent even at work yet!
I have to make a big decision. I just graduated

from medical school, and I have two job offers. One
job is at a clinic in Yakima, Washington. The other
job is at a big hospital in New York City. Im from
a small town. So maybe Id be happier in Yakima.
Yakima is a lot smaller than New York. About
50,000 people live in Yakima. About 8 million
people live in New York. My friends say I should
choose New York. They say its a good opportunity.
But its much more expensive to live in New York.
And theres a lot of traffic. However, you dont need
a car. Theres good public transportation. New York
has a subway, trains, and a lot of buses and taxis.
Yakima has some buses and taxis, but most people
drive cars. My friends also say that New York would
be very exciting. There are museums, restaurants,
theaters, music, and clubs. I enjoy those things. But
I also like to be outdoors. There are places near
Yakima where I could hike and ski. I enjoy those
things too. Im single, and Id like to get married
someday. Is it easier to meet someone in a big city or
a small town? I dont know. I just dont know.

Chores are part of life. Everybody has chores.
Chores are boring jobs that you have to do. Washing
dishes is a chore. Shopping for groceries is a chore.
Cutting the lawn is a chore. Paying bills can be a
chore. Some people like doing some chores, but not
others. Listen to what two bloggers had to say about
their chores.
Blogger 1 wrote: I dont mind washing the car.
Its easy, and the car always looks good. But I dont
like cleaning the inside of the car. Blogger 2 wrote:
I dont mind making dinner. But, I really dont like
washing dishes. So I cook, and my husband does the
dishes.

Unit 15
Unit 19
A 20-year-old man walked into a bus terminal

in New York City. He got on a bus and sat down in
the drivers seat. He started the bus and drove out
of the terminal. He headed north for the George
Washington Bridge. On the way, he stopped at bus
stops and picked up passengers. He charged them
50 cents for the ride. He crossed the bridge into
New Jersey and stopped in Fort Lee. Then he turned
around and returned to New York. He repeated his
trip several times and collected $88 in fares.
Finally, the police arrested him. They said he
looked just like a bus driver. His passengers said he
was a good driver. They were surprised he wasnt a
real bus driver.
Daphne Sheldrick lived in Tsavos National Park

in Kenya. Daphne often took care of orphaned baby
elephants. Without their mothers, the orphaned
babies usually died. Baby elephants need elephant
milk. And elephant milk is very different from other
kinds of milk.
One day a park worker brought Daphne a baby
elephant named Aisha. Daphne tried to feed the baby
mashed bananas. Then Daphne tried butter mixed
with fat-free cows milk. But, Aisha was dying. One
day Daphne gave Aisha coconut oil mixed with fatfree milk. Aisha began to get better.
But there was another problem. Aisha also needed
a family. In the wild, a family of female elephants
takes care of the baby elephants. The babies are
never alone. But Aisha had only Daphne.
Unit 14
One day, Daphne went on a trip. She trained a

park worker to take care of Aisha while she was
away. Daphne was gone for a week. When she
returned, Aisha was very sick. That night, Aisha died
in Daphnes arms. Daphne believed that Aisha died
of a broken heart.
Scientists and zoos learned important lessons
from Daphne and Aisha. They learned what to feed
baby elephants. And, they learned that orphaned
baby elephants need to grow up with a group of
people. They become the babys new family.

When were children, we have big dreams for

our future. We dont think about money, or time, or
preparation.
When were adults, we still dream. For example,
people have personal dreams about wanting a college
education or having a big family. Or they may dream
about falling in love. Maybe they want to visit all
50 states in the U.S. Other dreams are about work
or careers. One person may want to start her own
business. Another may want to be a basketball star.
Or a doctor. Or a scientist.
We also have dreams for our country or for the
world. We want a world without war. We want to
have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink.
We want all children to get an education. We want
each person to have enough food to eat and a place
to live.
Dreams give our lives meaning. They give us a
road to follow. Sade King is a woman who dreamed
of becoming a soldier. She said, A person without
dreams is like a big city without streets.
Unit 25

Taka: Yeah. The rest of us will wait in the field
near the north entrance. Did you tell people
what to bring?
Amir: Yeah. Sonia and Marko are bringing
blankets. Ricardo is bringing the cake.
Miss Adams is bringing paper plates and
napkins. Nuri is going to get some food at
the deli. And Felix is bringing the drinks.
Unit 26
1. I volunteer to build homes for people in need. I
share the work with other members of my team.
Teamwork is very important.

is seeing the smiles on the faces of the new
homeowners.
3. I volunteer online. Last month I helped a

healthcare group in Kenya build a website.
4. I gave money to the Red Cross after the
earthquake in Haiti.
5. A busy street goes through my neighborhood.
No buses stop here. We need the city to add a
bus stop.
6. I ride a bicycle to work, and I dont feel safe
riding on the street. Id like the city to build a
bike path.
Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer organization.
It builds houses around the world for people who
need them. Habitat receives money from companies
and individuals. Volunteers help to build the new
homes.
The houses are simple. But theyre well built.
The houses arent free. But, theyre affordable.
People who need a house apply to Habitat. They
have to have enough money to pay for the building
materials, but all of the work is free. The family
also has to be able to pay for the expenses of the
house after its built: electricity, water, heat, taxes.
Habitat lends the homeowners money. Over time,
the homeowners buy their new house. Finally, the
homeowners also have to work on their new house or
help Habitat in other ways.
People of all ages volunteer with Habitat for
Humanity. Volunteers do not have to know how to
build a house. Professional builders teach them what
to do. Teamwork is very important.
