Do You Believe? )
'I."'.ampl.
Do you believe In love a l firSI sigh t?
It bsolutely not. Jf you think you a re in love but you
.[')- don 't know the object ' of your affection very well.
it's not really love. It"s just infatuation' o r lust. ' Love must
grow with time and understanding. It requires patience and
responsibility . Infatuation is a desire fo r an immediate
relationship (usually sexual i nte rcour~) with little or no
thought about what the other person is really like.

Priorities
E".ampl.
Buying a car
n f course,
U the first
priority is price, I'd
like to boy a cheap
model with cash, so I
wouldn 't have
borrow any money, if
possible, I'm willing to buy an old
car to get the best bargain, Design and make' are also
important factors' to me, And you know gas is gelling
expensive these days, so everybody is concerned about
mileage,' I like compact' cars be<ause they are economical
in terms of' taxes, gas, insurance, etc. Another oovantage is
that thieves are NEVER interested in small cars.

"" No president is able to live his own life anymore.
He is o!ways being targeted by his poIilic.!ll rivals. And he
must always decide Important mailers correctly while, at the

life has 10 be unexciting and beyond reproach' if he is going

But if ill man has some inlelleclual ability aod wants 10

such a person could use Ihe poYJeT of the presidency' to

Answer
I
ii;!) n faci. many countries have done lIv.'ay with' capital
punishment. The odd' thing is that it does not ~m to
make any difference al all. The various kinds o f crimes
committed in any given sociely remain hllrly' constant.' If
murders were common before the death penalty was
removed. they continue to occur al II similar rate. If
kidnappings' hardly ever happened. they don"t suddenly
Increase JUSI because of the removal of Ihe alleged '
deterrence' Ihat the dealh penalty represents. Laws need 10
be fairly and effectively enforced ' to avert' rising crime
rates. but the actUllI nature of the punishment doesn'l seem
10 make much difference.

What Sub-Categories Are There? )
Ql) What kinds of crimes are there?
Q2) What do you think is the most he inous ' c rime?
AI) There are many. For e xa mple. mugging. ' fraud, '
vandalism' and murder.
A2) The worst crime is torture.' I think. It destroys victims·
minds as well as their bodies. It makes people confess to
things they are innocent of and forces them to abandon'
their most deeply cherished principles. Even if people
survive to rture. its effects stay with them their entire lives.
Rape ' is another heinous c rime we often overlook. ' It
demolishes' a woman·s (and sometimes. also, a man's) self-
respect. But society o ften blames the victims of rape, rather
than the rapists themselves.

probably going to die? Should I lie, and tell him that
there's hope? Should I let the family know but le ll Ihem
nOlto let him know?
M : What's wrong with telling the truth?
F : No one can ever be absolutely sure. I've seen people
recover who hod absolutely n o cha n ce, and I've seen
otheJS die who hod a pretty good shot' at survival.
M :So?
F : Anllude seems to have a lot to dO wIth ' recovery. People
who know they'r(! going to die just gIve up- and if thaI
happens, they always die.
M : But maybe they would have died a nyhow, how can you
be sure? I know that if I were going to pass on, ' I'd want
to know in advance. That way] could try to leave no
stone unturned .' I could make sure that my family was
taken core of financially, t could try to prepare them
psychologically for my demise, ' and we could senle any
unresolved problems. Then at leasll could die In peo.ce.
F : You should do those th ings while you're still heallhy.
When you're dying, you're too sick, In body and soul, to
do anything. But If you have hope, you may have som e
strength 10 do these things, Ujusl In cose. ~ ·
