One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn't face my 1 apartment.
Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the 2 between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the 3 every time she leaned over to talk to him, 4 he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display (展示) such 5 in a public place?
I thought the movie would be good for my English, but 6 it turned out, it was an Italian movie.
7 about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and 8 on my popcorn. I've never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, 9 . After a while I heard 10 more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the 11 of the popcorn crunching (咀嚼) between my teeth. My thought started to 12 . I remembered when I was in South Korea, I 13 to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean-I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, 14 I saw him again in New York speaking 15 English instead of perfect Korean. He didn't even have a Korean accent and I 16 like I had been betrayed(欺骗). When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 17 we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 18 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to 19 a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it 20 out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decid-ed to forget it! We've been speaking Korean at home ever since.

youth, many wealthy and well-educated technology investors are seeking advice and investment
tips from their children, summer interns(实习生) and twenty something receptionists.
Unlike the formal consumer tests that focus groups at large companies, these inquiries are taking
place closer to home, with friends and family. But their impact can be broad, because investors not
only help promote the development of new ideas but also invest billions of dollars in those ideas on
behalf of investment groups and wealthy individuals.
These investors say there is a good reason to ask young people to help them assess new technology:
as the investors themselves are aging, the technology ----including social networking websites and
mobile gadgets- is designed for, used by and sometimes built by people half their age.
And the trend may indicate the rise of something new in the venture capital industry itself. The
investors said asking the younger people for advice would have been unheard of in the dot-boom of
the 1990s. Then, investors were engaged themselves in the very technology they were financing, ordering
books on Amazon, downloading music from Napster and buying and selling on eBay. But now, in the
so-called Web 2.0 era, investors' personal interests have strayed away from new innovation: websites
like Myspace intended to connect people, free Internet calling tools like Skype or software for mobile
phones.
And people now in junior school and high school have spent their lives with technology. " This is the
first generation for whom the computer is a native language," said Jim Gauer, managing director of
Palomar Ventures, a Los Angeles firm. " We are all going to have to get re-educated and learn that
language."
Or they can do what Palomar have done: hire a native speaker . Last summer, the firm had an
intern, Adam Gottesfeld, 21, who was heading into his senior year at Princeton. Mr Gottesfeld so
impressed the firm with his technological knowledge that it has offered him a job as an associate when
he graduates.
