5. Bungee Jumping p.26
Bungee jumping looks like fun. It makes me nervous just to watch someone do it. It certainly takes a lot of guts (/courage) to jump one thousand feet above the water with only a rope tied to your legs. It scares me just to think about it. However, it is something I really want to do one day.
Some people think I'm crazy(/ a lunatic). They say to jump (/jumping) is foolish enough, but to have(/having) to pay for it is madness. I don't agree. For me, to live a short and exciting life is far better than to live a long and boring one. What do you think?
On this page we have a new lesson, lesson five, and we have a picture here. This picture describes a person, and this person, or rather this is not a person, but an animal, but looks very familiar to me. What is it? -- it's wild Bruce, oh..., wild boar. wild boar 野猪
This is not the case with Bruce. He would think that Bungee jumping is something that we should do. so, tell us some history about this activity. I think if I remember correctly, it originated in that country New Zealand.
That's right, it originated in New Zealand. To originate simply means to start someplace, to start somewhere. New Zealand is an island nation in the south Pacific, is an English speaking country, and it's not very big in population, but some of the people there are really like to have an exciting fun time. so, they had the idea that you could jump from a bridge or jump from a tall building with a rope tied to your leg. Just as we see here in the picture, there is a rope tied to one of the wild boar's four legs, and that rope will stop you from hitting the ground. Paper originated in China. 起源于

And the last line happens to be the title of this dialogue. \Now please tell us something about this saying. First of all, please paraphrase this and then later on if it's possible, try to analyze the structure of this particular saying.
--Ok, first, let's talk about the meaning of \to do things in our lives, we can not learn about life or about ourselves. some people are afraid to try anything new, and they know how to do what they already know how to do, but they can not learn something new. some new things may hurt us, but some new things may help us too. Growing up is a learning experience. so we often encourage our friends to try something, find out about it. is it right for you? Is it suitable for you? you will never know if you don't try it. so, nothing ventured, if you don't try anything, nothing gained, you won't learn anything. so, you can not gain any new ideas or experience. If nothing is ventured, nothing will be gained. You must have the guts to try something new. He doesn’t have the guts to do something..
Now, we have this word \d tell us how to use this word “guts”.
guts, 肠子,that's the original [??r?d??n?l] meaning of this. but we also mean \we say \or afraid to try something. If someone has no guts, then he has no courage. If you have no courage, then you are a coward.

7. Doctor Death p.39
Whether very sick people should be helped to end their own lives is a question many people cannot answer. However, Dr. Kevorkian is an exception. That he has done this more than twenty times is known to everyone. Some say(省that)what he is doing is immoral. They call him Doctor Death. Others say what he is doing is merciful. They call it mercy killing.
Whether Dr. Kevorkian should be allowed to continue doing this is a real problem for the government. There seem to be two sides to the argument(/ It seems that there are two…). Which side are you on?
Are we talking here or do we have any purpose on the air? --We are trying to teach our students how to read and understand by listening these English lessons.
--So, we are not simply chatting. In fact, we do have a plan over here, that is we want to acquaint our students with more of English.--Our plan is to teach English. It sounds spooky. –It certainly does.
