An auto loan John Baker works in the loan department of a bank in Denver, Colorado. He is a loan of- ricer. Stanley Fanelli has an appointment with him now to ask about a loan. He needs money to buy a new car. Mr. B: Hello, Mr. Fanelli. Please have a seat. What can I do for you today Mr. F: I want to borrow some money to buy a car. A friend of mine, Jack Richardson, bought a new car last week. He told me that he got his loan here. Mr. B: Oh yes. I remember him. I was the loan officer who spoke with him. Mr. F: He said that you were very helpful. I know very little about loans and I hope you can explain things to me. Mr. B: I will certainly try. What questions did you have for me Mr. F: First, I want to know if loans for buying cars are commercial loans or personal loans. Mr. B: Neither, Mr. Fanelli. They’re auto loans. A commercial loan is principal that banks lend to businesses. Personal loans are made to individuals, but not for buying cars. Mr. F: What about interest rates Mr. B: The rate of interest currently in effect on auto loans is 16%. Mr. F: For how long will I have to make monthly payments Mr. B: The term of the loan is three years, so there will be 36 monthly payments. Mr. F: Do I have to give the bank any collateral Mr. B: The car serves as collateral. If you default, the bank can take possession of the car. The bank also checks your credit file to make sure that you always paid back your loans in the past. Do you have any charge accounts Mr. F: My wife and I bought our furniture with our charge card and we even used it to buy airplane tickets for our vacation in California last year. We paid off both those debts promptly. Mr. B: That’s very good. I assume there will be no problem. But the first thing you have to do is fill out this loan application. Mr. F: Thank you very much. I’ll start right now. State whether each statement is true or false based on the dialogue between John Baker and Stanley Fanelli. Mr. Fanelli doesn’t have any charge accounts.
Can animals have a sense of humor Sally Blanchard, publisher of a newsletter called the Pet Bird Report, thinks a pet parrot may have pulled her leg. That’s one explanation for the time her African gray parrot, named Bongo Marie, seemed to feign distress at the possible death of an Amazon parrot named Paco. It happened one day when Blanchard was making Cornish game hen for dinner. As Blanchard lifted her knife, the African gray threw back its head and said, "Oh, no! Paco!" Trying not to laugh, Blanchard said, "That’s not Paco," and showed Bongo Marie that the Amazon was alive and well. Mimicking a disappointed tone, Bongo Marie said, "Oh, no," and launched into a hoarse laugh. Was the parrot joking when it seemed to believe the other bird was a goner Did Bongo Marie comprehend Blanchard’s response Studies of African grays have shown that they can understand the meaning of words--for example, that red refers to a color, not just a particular red object. Parrots also enjoy getting a reaction out of humans, and so, whether or not Bongo Marie’s crocodile tears were intentional, the episode was thoroughly satisfying from the parrot’s point of view. When Blanchard was making Cornish game hen for dinner, Bongo Marie acted as if Paco was ______.

Don’t call him just a college professor. Internet entrepreneur, TV personality, advisor to presidents, and friend to the rich and powerful would be more accurate. Henry Louis "Skip" Gates Jr. is better known for his activities outside the academy. This week he sold Africana com, a website he created with a fellow Harvard University professor, to Time Warner. Terms of the deal weren’t revealed, though the Wall Street Journal pegged the price at more than $10 million, with Gates reaping up to $1 million. Time Warner will incorporate the site, a portal with news and information about people of African descent, into America Online when the two merge as expected. The sense is that Gates got a very good deal. The site is a rich source of scholarship but hardly a rich source of revenue. As recently as the late 1980s Gates, who turns 50 this week, was an obscure professor, penning books on literary theory only a graduate student could love. Now he can’t be avoided. He hosted a series about Africa on public television, writes occasional articles for the New Yorker, and even advises the Gore presidential campaign. He counts director Steven Spielberg, Microsoft’s Bill Gates and President Clinton as friends. "They’re not intimate friends," he insists. Indeed, Gates has evolved into a kind of expert on everything African-American. "He remains the go-to person on the state of African-American affairs," said Perry Steinberg, head of American Program Bureau, a lecture agency. The 30 or so speeches Gates delivers each year are another source of income for the professor. With fame comes controversy. Several other black intellectuals have taken him to task for not being confrontational enough. Gates has heard it before. ’"Me Critics Oh, what a shock." But he considers himself more a descendent of historian and educator W. E.B. Du Bois than of Malcolm X. His ultimate goal is to build the field of Afro-American studies. "Fifty years from now I want there to be at least 10 great centers of Afro-American studies," he says. If working as a consultant on Spielberg’s historical film Amistad or giving A1 Gore advice helps, so be it. According to Henry Louis "Skip" Gates Jr. himself, giving advice to A1 Gore is ______.
