The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.

Task 2
One year Mark Twain went to Maine（缅因州） for a holiday and spent three very pleasant weeks in the woods there.
When he went back home, he drove to the station with his large baggage（行李）. He got on the train. A few minutes later, another man sat down next to him. The man looked unpleasant. However, it would be impolite to say nothing, so Mark Twain said good morning to the man, and they began to talk.
First they talked about the weather and then they talked about Maine. The stranger said, ―You have been to the beautiful woods, haven‘t you?‖ ―Yes, I have,‖ answered Mark Twain. ―I had a very good time there. And let me tell you something. Although fishing isn‘t allowed in Maine at this season, I‘ve got two hundred pounds of beautiful fish with my baggage. May I ask who you are, sir?‖

The stranger looked at Mark Twain and answered, ―I‘m a police officer. My job is to catch people who fish during the wrong seasons. And who are you?‖

Task 3
One of the biggest problems is speed. Native speakers，especially business people, tend to speak very quickly on the telephone. Here are some tips to get native speakers of English to slow down!
Immediately ask the person to speak slowly.
Take note of a name or important information, and repeat each piece of information as the person speaks.
By repeating each important piece of information or each number, you can slow the speaker down.
Do not say you have understood if you have not. Ask the person to repeat
7
until you have understood. If you ask a person to explain more than twice they will usually slow down.
If the person does not slow down, begin speaking your own language! A sentence or two of another language spoken quickly will remind the person that they are fortunate because THEY do not need to speak a different language to communicate. Used carefully, this exercise can be very helpful. Just be sure to use it with colleagues and not with a boss!
