K: Mr. KellerR: Good morning, Mr. Keller. My name
is Harry Hunter and I work for the
Daily Times. I would like to ask you
a few questions about Jim Gray.
K: Good morning, Mr. Hunter. What
would you like to know about Mr.
Gray?R: Well, I want to know if it is true
that Mr. Gray no longer works for
your company.
K: Yes, that’s true. Mr. Gray was fired
today. He has been having problems
lately and it was time for him to
leave.
R: I see. What kind of problems?K: Mr. Gray was too slow and it took
him too long to do his job. He talked
too much and was noisy and sometimes
even wild. He was not serious enough.
Instead of thinking about work, he
would spend too much time disturbing
the other workers with questions and
comments.R: So the other workers didn’t like
Mr. Gray?
K: Mr. Gray was very nosy, always
trying to find out what other people
were doing. Many people were also
unhappy with Mr. Gray because he
was rude and said bad things about
people.R: I see. Were there any other reasons
why you fired him?
K: Yes, Mr. Gray was also careless with
his money. Now if you will excuse me,
I have to get back to work.
R: Thank you for answering my questions.Part 2P : Paul

give up. He was careful and always

I never had a brother before, but he’s the best one I think I may ever have who brings me the pleasure of adopting (收养). In spite of all the pain that he occasionallygoes through, I have seen him bear it with patience and calm, and do his best to make certain that no one else was hurt before coping with his own pain. It is my only hope that I will never lose this little brother. Chuck Tetzlaff He is very funny, overworked, and is the third man I’ve ever met who can consistently make me unable to stop laughing. At the same point, I will get to see him more often, but that will probably be after he finishes working for his Chemistry Professor. They are described

I shared that ride with a man whose face bore the frown lines that evidenced a less-than-positive attitude. He commented, “I’m not so sure about this elevator.”
“Oh? Why not?” I asked.
“It was slow getting to us, and it sounds funny.”
“I’m sure we’ll make it,” I encouraged him. “I don’t know. You never can tell about these things.”
When we arrived at the first floor, I said, “Well, we made it!”
Unimpressed, he answered, “Yeah, but the door’s not open yet.” The man’s attitude is
