I have been reading a book Steve Jobs.

It’s written by a famous American writer.

He’s an icon of our time.

This book details his drifted life, including his childhood, marriage

and different stages of career.

Does this biography expose some of his scandal?

It covers all aspects of Steve, but focuses on his accomplishments.

I don’t have the patience.

I have never been able to read a book from start to finish.

Books are not interesting to me.

Do you read newspaper?

I never read newspaper.

I watch TV if I want to know what is happening in the world.

It just takes too much time and energy.

I read essays from WeChat Moments and official accounts.

That’s web browsing, not reading.

In Susan Stewart's apartment in Soho, a neighborhood in Manhattan. Susan and Harry Bennett are preparing lunch for Harry's daughter Michelle and her friends.

Harry：You like living in New York, don't you?

Susan：Oh, I love it, it's so convenient1. I can takethe bus to work… or the subway2… or a taxi. And there's so much to do. Lots of movie houses3, and the theater.

Harry：I know what you mean. I'd like to live in the city, but living in New Jersey and the suburbs4 is better for Michelle. Trees, grass.

Susan：There's a lot of good things5 about suburban living. I grew up in Riverdale, remember? So I know. But, as a working woman6, I think New York has all the conveniences-including the best tomatoes.

Harry：The truth is, I'd like to live in the city. Michelle's the right age.7 There are lots of things for her here.

Susan：You're right, Harry. Today is the perfect ex ample. Michelle and her friends are at the aquarium8 in Brooklyn. They come back here for lunch, then go uptown9 to the Museum of Natural History10. There's so much for young people to see and do. It's just incredible!

Harry： Not just for young people. What about me?

I've never been to the aquarium or the Museum of Natural History. Have you?

Susan：Oh yes, Harry. My mother and father often took us somewhere in the city on the week ends. Dad was a busy doctor, but he usually managed to11 squeeze a Sunday in12 with Richard, Robbie, and me. I used to love to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art13.

Harry：I've been there several times. Twice with Michelle.

Susan：You ought to think about spending more time14 with Michelle at all the great places in the city.

Harry：Well, perhaps, you'll help me select some of the great places. And perhaps, you'll join us?

Susan：Perhpas I will.

Later. Susan and Harry have just set the table for lunch.

Susan：Well, there we are. All set for lunch,15 Harry.

Harry：It looks inviting16. I wish Michelle and her friends would get here. I'm starving, aren't you?17

Susan：I can't wait to take a bite of the pumpernickel18. It smells so delicious.

Susan：Coming! Coming![She speaks into the intercom.] Who is it ?

Michelle：Michelle. It's us,19 Susan.

Susan：Come in, Michelle, and bring your friends along. We're on the fifth floor. Oh, you've been here before.

Harry：Susan, I really appreciate your doing this20 for Michelle and her friends.

Susan：Oh, please,21 Harry. It's nothing. I'm not just doing it for Michelle. I'm doing it for you.

Harry：Thank you.

Susan：I'm doing it for us, Harry.

Harry：Well, it's… it's important for Michelle to see us together more often22.That's true.

Susan：It's important for Michelle and me to get to know each other23 better. That's important for us.

Harry：That makes me feel good.

Susan：What, Harry? What makes you feel good?

Harry：Well ,that you care about 24 Michelle, that you care about me, and that you care about us.

Susan：Well Harry, that's because I do. I do care.

Harry：They'll be here any minute. Susan, I'd like to continue this conversation later.

Susan：Of course, Harry. We'll finish the conversation when they go to the museum.

Harry：I'd like that.

Susan：So would I.
