Passage One
V ery few people were coming to eat at the White Rose restaurant, and its owner did not know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seems to want to eat here.
The owner did something that changed all the situation. In the few weeks his restaurant was full of men with their lady friends. When the gentleman came here with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu they gave to the lady gave a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous than he really was!

Passage Three
We were late as usual. My husband insisted on watering the flowers in the garden by himself, and when he discovered that he couldn’t manage, he had asked me for help at the last moment. So now we have an hour to get to the airport. Luckily, there were not many cars or buses on the road and when we were able to get there just in time, we checked in and went straight to a big hall to wait for our flight to be called. We waited and waited but no announcement was made.
We asked for information and the girl there told us that the plane hadn’t even arrived yet. In the hall, there was another announcement telling us that passengers waiting for Flight LJ 108 could get a free meal voucher (凭单) and that the plane hadn’t left Spain for technical problems. We thought that meant it wasn’t safe for the plane to fly. We waited again for a long time until late evening when we were asked to report again. This time we were given three free vouchers to spend the night in a nearby hotel.
The next morning after the bad night because of all the planes taking off and landing, we reported back to the airport. Guess what happened while we were asleep?
