He pressed his icy, perfect lips against my wasted .

"Happy birthday," he whispered.

I woke with a start–my eyelids popping open wide–and gasped. Dull gray light, the familiar                        

light of an overcast , took the place of the blinding sun in my dream.

Just a dream, I told myself. It was only a . I took a deep breath, and then jumped again

Now, before listening the second part, read the first exercises. In this way it'll be easier to do it.

 
 
Decide whether the statements are true or false.
 
1. She didn't want to get any presents.

2. Edward was always waiting for Bella in front of the school.

3. Alice is Edward's sweet sister.                                                   
 
4. Alice carefully paid attention to Bella's wishes.
 
5. Bella finally opened her present in the parking lot.
 
6. Alice has a special skill,too. She has visions about the future.

9. Getting older is the best thing for Bella.
 
10. Edward wanted Bella to be immortal and live with her forever.                       
 
Number the sentences according to the order they appear.

  "What time will you be at the house?" 

 "I already spoke to Mrs. Newton about it. She's trading your shifts. She said to tell you 'Happy Birthday.'"
 "I have to work,"
 "I didn't know I had plans to be there." 
 "Oh, be fair, Bella!" 
  "I'll get her from Charlie's right after school,"
  "You aren't going to ruin all our fun like that, are you?"
  "I thought my birthday was about what I want."
  "I, well, I haven't watched Romeo and Juliet yet for English."
  "You don't, actually,"
 "I–I still can't come over,"
 "You have Romeo and Juliet memorized."                                
 
 
Now, again, put these sentences in the correct order
 
 
 "But Mr. Berty said we needed to see it performed to fully appreciate it–that's how Shakespeare intended it to be presented."
 "Edward, please–"
 "But not the nineteen-sixties version. Mr. Berty said it was the best."
"That will give you more time to set up."
 "This can be easy, or this can be hard, Bella, but one way or the other–"
"Let's discuss it later. We're going to be late for class."
 "Relax, Alice. If Bella wants to watch a movie, then she can. It's her birthday."
 "So there, I'll bring her over around seven,"
"Sounds good. See you tonight, Bella! It'll be fun, you'll see."
 "You've already seen the movie,"
 
 
At the end of the line,choose the correct column if there's no mistake in the line and the wrong column if there's a mistake.
 
                                                                                                                                                       CORRECT   WRONG         
No one bothered to stare at us as we took our usual seats in the back of the classroom (we                                   

had almost every lesson together now–it was amazing the favors Edward could get the female                                               

administrators to do for him). Edward and I had been together two years now to be an object                                 

of gossip anymore. Even Mike Newton didn't bother to give me the glum stare that used to                                     

make me feel a little guilty. He smiled now instead, and I was glad he seemed to have                                              

accepted that we could only be friends. Mike had changed over the spring–his face had lost                                     

some of the roundness, making his cheekbones more prominent, and he was wearing his pale                                  

brown hair a new way; instead of bristly, it was longer and gelled into a carefully casual                                           

disarray. It was easy to see where his inspiration derives from–but Edward's look wasn't                                         

something that could be achieved through imitation.                                                                                                        

 
 
As the day progressed, I considered ways to get out of whatever was going down at the                                              

Cullen house this evening. It would be bad enough to have to celebrate when I was in the mood                              

to mourn. But, worse than that, this was sure to involve attention and gifts.                                                               

Attention is never a nice thing, as any other accident-prone klutz would agree. No one                                             

wants a spotlight when they're likely to fall on their back.                                                                                         

And I'd very pointedly asked–well, ordered really–that no one give me any presents this year.                                   

It seemed like Charlie and Renee weren't the only ones who had decided to overlook that.                                        

I'd never had much money, and that had never bothered me. Renee had raised me on a                                              

kindergarten teacher's salary. Charlie wasn't getting rich at his trade, either–he was the police                                       

chief here in the tiny town of Forks. My only personal income came from the three days a                                            

week I worked at the local sporting goods store.
