[03:13.39]Exercise  2
[03:15.26]Directions: Listen to the passage and then fill in the table with what you hear from the tape.
[03:23.72]An Unusual Millionaire
[03:26.10]I know a man called John Smith who is a very unusual millionair
[03:33.05]What makes him unusual is that he has no mone
[03:37.91]He says the average millionaire never uses money and always gets other people to pay for taxis or drinks
[03:47.66]This is because he is so used to thinking in millions that small amounts of money are not worth thinking about.
[03:57.38]But this does not mean he has no worrie
[04:01.63]On the contrary, the average millionaire worries constantly about his businesse
[04:08.69]His great wealth also makes it difficult for him to be happy and comfortable with other peopl
[04:16.86]Are they friendly because they like hi
[04:19.81]Or do they pretend to like him because they want his mone
[04:24.96]John Smith says he feels very sorry for millionaires
[04:29.64]who, instead of being masters of their wealth, are slaves of their million
[04:36.37]In one way, however, John Smith always behaves exactly like a millionair
[04:43.07]I mean he never has any money and generally manages to persuade someone else to pay for his drinks.
[04:52.75]But unlike other very rich men, he gives back good value for mone
[04:59.48]He is full of jokes and fu
[05:02.90]An evening spent with him is not chea
[05:06.36]because he is usually very thirsty, but he always makes people happ
[05:12.23]He does not give much thought for tomorro
[05:15.43]He is the happiest man I have even me
[05:19.36]Whenever I meet him, he tells me
[05:22.99]"In money I am not rich, but in peace of mind I am a millionaire
[05:30.19]And then the world's richest, penniless man usually adds, with a smil
[05:37.46]"Do you have time for another drink?" How can I refuse?
[05:43.84]Exercise 3
[05:45.92]Directions: Listen to the passage again, and then work in pairs to answer the following questions.
[05:54.42]1)  Why is John Smith "an unusual millionaire"?
[05:59.96]2) Why does the speaker say that John Smith is "the world's richest, penniless person"?
