Imagine this scene (情景). Jennifer is eighteen years old. Tom is her boyfriend， and Jennifer and Tom like each other a lot. But one day Jennifer sees Tom talking to another girl. They are smiling and having a good time. Jennifer can’t believe her eyes. She begins to get mad. That night， she calls Tom and says， “Who was that girl you were talking with today?” “What girl?” Tom asks.
“I saw you talking with a girl on the street.” “Oh， that was Laura. She’s my next-door neighbor.”
Jennifer doesn’t believe Tom. She’s very angry. She says， “I never want to see you again，” and hangs up the phone. It’s the green-eyed monster. Jennifer is jealous.
Now picture a second scene. Mark is in his forties. He’s good friends with Joe， and they do a lot of things together. They both work in an office. One day， Mark hears Joe inviting Bill， another workmate， to play cards with him that night. Mark is hurt. “Why didn’t Joe invite me to play cards?” Mark thinks. “Joe and I are best friends.” The green-eyed monster is here again. Mark is jealous.
Is jealous normal (正常)? Probably. Is it good? Not usually. It’s easy to become jealous， but it’s hard to solve (解決) the problems that jealous causes. Jealousy can hurt friendship. Maybe the best thing to do when we’re feeling jealous is just to tell the green-eyed monster to leave.

Three students are talking about their part-time jobs：
Brandon Smith：
I’m a junior school student， and I have a part-time job in a restaurant. I wash dishes on Saturdays and Sundays from 8：00am until 4：00pm. I get $5.50 an hour. It isn’t much money， but I save almost every penny! I want to go to a good university， and the cost goes up every year. Of course， I spend some money when I go out on Saturday nights.
Lauren Russell：
I’m a senior in high school. I have a job in a grocery store. The job pays well — about $6.75 an hour. I work every weeknight after school from 8：00pm until 11：30pm. I don’t have time for homework， and my grades aren’t very good this year. But I have to work， or I can’t buy nice clothes and I can’t go out on Saturday nights. Also， a car costs a lot of money.
Erica Davis：
I’m a new student in college. College is very expensive， so I work in a law office for three hours every weekday afternoon. I make photocopies， file papers， and sort (整理) mails for $8.25 an hour. The job gives me good experience because I want to be a lawyer some day. But I don’t want to work every term. I need time to study.
