“Come in,” said a voice. Jane Ross opened the door and
went into a small room, There was a man sitting behind
atable,
“Good afternoon,” said Jane.
“Lwant to see Madame Yolanda, the fortune-teller.”
"Madame Yolanda isn’t here today,” said the man.
“But don't worry. I'm going to tell you about your
future. What questions do you want to ask?" Jane
looked at the fortune-teller. She couldn't see him very
well because the room was very dark.
PART3
He turned over the second card.
“Hmm, a house. A new house. You're going to move,
very soon, to another country.”
‘But my boyfriend works here, He can’t move to
another country.”
“Let's look at the next card,” said the fortune-teller.
He turned over the third card
“A heart. You're going to fall in love.”
"With who?” asked Jane.
‘Let me concentrate. | can see a tall man. He's very
attractive.”
“Oh, that's Jim,” said Jane.
"Who's Jim? Your boyfriend?”
No. Jim’s a man | met at a party last month. He’s an
actor, from New York. He says he's in love with me. It
was his idea for me to come to Madame Yolanda.”
"Well, the card says that you're going to fall in love
with him.”
“Are you sure?” asked Jane. “But what about my
boyfriend?”
Let's look at the fourth card,” said the fortune-teller.
PARTS
The fortune-teller stood up. He turned on the light.
At that moment, an old woman came in. “So, what
happened?” she asked
“Itwas perfect! She believed everything,” said Jim.
“I told you, ma very good actor. She was sure |was a
fortune-teller!”
He gave the woman $100.
“That's Jane's $50 and another $50 from me. Thanks
very much, Madame Yolanda, Bye.”
Madame Yolanda took the money. The fifth card was
stillon the table, facedown. She turned it over. It was
the plane. She looked at it for a minute and then she

Children have a problem, too. Scientists say that children
born today can die before their parents because of obesity
and unhealthy food choices by thelr families.
‘Why do Americans have unhealthy diets? There are many
reasons, but money is the main one. Americans think that
healthy foods are more expensive than packaged foods.
They also think it takes a long time to cook a healthy meal
So, how can Americans make their diets better? They can
stop eating fastfood and cook more often at home. They
can bring healthy lunches to work or school, and they can
have fruit for snacks during the day.
