W: How was the flight, Tony
M: Difficult. The weather was bad, and we were late getting into San Francisco. I’m sure that most of the passengers weren’t happy about the flight!
W: It seems like you travel a lot for work. Do you really like your job
M: Sure, Lisa. Today was just a bad day.
W: Why do you like it
M: I like to go places with people, and I like to travel.
W: What’s your favorite place
M: That’s a hard question. I like South America. I go to Colombia and Brazil a lot. The people are very nice, and I like the weather there. It’s always warm. Of course, I like the United States, too. New York is nice in summer, but I don’t like it in winter.
W: Why not
M: It’s cold. I hate cold weather.
W: That’s interesting. I love winter. I love ice-skating.

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of numerous services, including labor, professional, transportation and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and objects, so that they could communicate with each other; we also know that they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down.

A. The invention of words.
B. The power of words.
