M: Doctor, is it easy to see death?
W: Well, it seems it’s not so easy for me to tell you about death.
M: Tell me the fact, please. I’m not afraid.
W: OK. I guess you’re on the way to see death.
M: I believe you’re right. But I want to have a long life. Help me, please.
W: OK. Listen. It looks as if you have too much money.
M: Oh?
W: It seems that the more money you have, the worse your health is. You must have worried too much about the safety of your money.
M: Yes, that’s quite true.
W: Why not give some money to poor people?
M: No way! Money is my life.

W: How are you doing, Andrew?
M: Not well. I’ve been feeling pretty lonely lately.
W: But you have so many friends! How could you be lonely?
M: You know what they say: a friend to all is a friend to none. I don’t feel like I really know any of my friends. In fact, I should probably call them acquaintances, not friends.
W: What about me? I’m your friend.
M: I know you are, but you’re my girlfriend. I wish I had a guy friend to hang out with sometimes.
W: I know what you mean. I find it difficult to make new friends, too. It’s not as easy as it was when we were young, is it?
M: Not at all.
W: I’ve made a lot of new friends since I started learning English. Maybe you could join a club or take a class to make some new friends.
M: That’s a good idea.
W: What kind of qualities do you look for in a friend?
M: I’m not sure. I guess I’d like to meet some people who have a positive attitude and want to have a good time.
W: People who play ultimate Frisbee have a positive attitude; maybe you should join the ultimate Frisbee club.
M: That’s a possibility. Thanks!

A large National Park has been built to protect the culture of ancient Native Americans. It is called Mesa Verde. It was cold that day in 1988 in southwestern Colorado. Richard Wetherill and his brotherinlaw were trying to find some missing cattle. They were up on Mesa Verde. Spanish explorers had named the area. The high, flat mountaintop is covered with bushes and pine trees. It looks like a huge green table, which is“mesa verde”in Spanish. The two men came to the edge of a deep canyon. Through the falling snow, they saw what looked like a small city across the canyon. It was hanging in the middle of the rock wall. There were many connected rooms built into a natural opening in the rock. They named the ruins Cliff Palace. In the next few days, they found two more large ruins. They named one Spruce Tree House and the other Square Tower House.
