　　96. What's the Point of Chewing Gum？
　　Being an American， Donna wants to learn more about the Chinese. She's talking to her Chinese friend， Jeff.
　　D： Hi， Jeff！ What's up？
　　J： Nothing much. What about you？
　　D： Same as usual. Here， have a stick of gum.
　　J： No， thanks. I'll stick to my own brand.
　　D： And what brand's that？
　　J： Actually it's not gum. I eat raw garlic instead. Want a piece？
　　D： No way！ So that's where the stinky smell is coming from.
　　J： Hey！ Watch your tongue， ok？ Garlic kills germs. It's good for you.
　　D： Says who？
　　J： Well， according to…
　　D： Never mind. Please stop talking. Your breath stinks. I'm out of here.
　　J： Boy！ These Americans don't know what's good for them. Besides， what's the point of chewing gum anyway？
