    A farmer had a cow, and he took very good care of the cow. One day when the cow was ill, he was very worried. He telephoned the vet.

    "What's the problem?" the vet asked the farmer when he arrived.

    "My cow's ill," the farmer said. "I don't know what's the matter with her. She's just lying down and doesn't eat anything. She's making a strange noise."

    The vet examined the cow and said, "She's certainly ill, and she needs to take some very strong medicine."

    He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into the farmer's hand and said, "The pills should make her feel better."

    "How can she take these pills?" the farmer asked.

    The vet gave him a tube(管子) and said, "Put this tube in her mouth, and then put the pills in the tube and blow(吹气) into the cow's mouth. That will make it."

    The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.

    "How is your cow?" the vet asked.

    "Not better," the farmer said, "and I'm feeling very strange myself."

    "Oh?" the vet asked. "Why?"

How Super AreSupermarkets?
Buying eweek's groceries is tiring. You want to get it over and done with quickly, soyou head for the nearest supermarket, you find everything you need under oneroof, and you feel glad that those days of going in and out of different shopsin the high street are over. Supermarkets seem to be a big plus. There is adownside, though.
In the UK 90%of all the food people consume is bought at 5 different supermarket chains.This makes these companies extremely powerful, which lets them use their hugebuying power to squeeze small suppliers to get the best deal. Milk is a goodexample. Supermarkets like to use things like milk, which is the top of almosteveryone's shopping list to attract customers. To offer the lowest pricepossible to the consumer, the supermarkets force dairy farmers to sell milk atless than the cost of production. Supermarkets guarantee their good profitswhile farmers are left struggling to make ends meet, and the taxpayer pays tosupport the system without even knowing it.
It would be niceif local grocers supported local agriculture. But for the big supermarkets thisjust doesn't make sense. Supermarkets don't want little farmers thinking theycan decide prices. So supermarkets have started a global search for thecheapest possible agricultural produce. In many supermarkets it is difficult tofind anything which is produced locally.
UK farmersused to grow a lot of apples. Not anymore. In 1999 36% of apples were imported.By 2015 the figure had risen to 80% and the domestic production of apples hadfallen by two thirds. The consumer might just be happy to get a reasonablypriced meal made up of foods from Thailand, Spain, Italy and Zambia, but weshould also bear in mind the Influence on local producers.
Then there'spackaging. Supermarkets like everything to be packed and wrapped so it can bepiled neatly on shelves. Supermarkets produce nearly 10 million tons of wastepackaging in the UK every year, of which less 5%is recycled. Some supermarketsmake sure that large recycling bins are obvious in their car parks, showingthat they are environment-friendly. But that is just an image.
When a newsupermarket is planned there are claims about the number of new jobs that willbe created. Unfortunately, the number of jobs lost in the area is larger thanthe number of new positions in the supermarket. On average each new supermarketleads to the loss of 276 jobs.
However, themodern world is all about shopping, and the freedom to buy whatever you what,so it would be impossible to stop people shopping at some particular kind ofshop. But some measures do need to be taken when small suppliers lose profits,local producers suffer, sea levels rise and jobs are lost, anyway, we can'tjust care about a free car park and special offers.

    It is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time,and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment.A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again.

At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell,arts—and—crafts such as finger paint,games like musical chairs and even take naps.The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos,the brain behind the adult preschool,studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher.She's always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood.A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.

    According to Candice,her blogger friend,Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children.“I realized all the significances of what we learn in preschool,”said founder Michelle Joni,“People come here and get in touch with their inner child.It's magical.We are bringing ourselves back to another place,another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves,more confident and ready to take on the world.”

    “One person's here because they want to learn not to be so serious.”Michelle said.“Another's here to learn to be more confident.” She explained that most of the classes were planned.However,Joni added that while the planned activities were fun,it was often the spontaneous(自发的)moments that attracted students.“It's the things you don't plan for,the sharing between friends and learning from each other.''

    When I came to Cincinnati as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a "castle".In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the "castle" was actually rather small in our neighborhood.

    Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.

    Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.

    However, I had undergone some painful experience back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say "Sorry." Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn(离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so "cold". I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.

    Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.

    Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of the group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.

    Take Responsibility

    Group leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadership

    Concern for Members

    The group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.

    Good Listener

    The group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be put into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.
