M: Janice, how much do you pay for insurance?

W: Which kind? I have many kinds of insurance. There’s car insurance, home insurance, life insurance…

M: Uh, car insurance.

W: Let me see…I pay $100 a month.

M: Wow, that’s cheap! I pay twice that much!

W: Well, there are a couple of good reasons for that. For one, men always cost more to insure than women.

M: What? How can you say that?

W: Well, if you look at the number of car accidents in the U.S. that cost insurance companies a lot of money, most of them are caused by men.

M: You’re saying that I’m paying too much money because what other guys are doing wrong?

W: Exactly!

M: But I’m a great driver.

W: Really? How many accidents have you been in this past year?

M: I don’t know…three or four, I guess. But only one of them was my fault…OK, maybe two of them.

W: Right…do you know how many I’ve been in over that same period?

M: Let me guess - zero?

W: Bingo!

M: So, that’s the real reason why your insurance is so low…you don’t drive enough!

W: I think you missed the point….

【题目】One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man’s house. Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow,” said Kavya.

The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you,” he said in a low voice.

We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya’s house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man’s house.

We told the story to Kavya’s mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you.” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys.
