One day Mrs. Wilson went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center.” Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said.” Help me check the prices, please.” The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully after the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said,“ We don't think you saved money by going to the supermarket.” “Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said. “ Everything was cheaper there.” “We know,” the children said,“ but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry. The taxi fare was more than the money that you save! ” Mrs. Wilson added everything up. Her children were right.

Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model（模特）.
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn't see. I can't eat what I like, even though I'm very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece （侄女）, you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma

One Sunday morning, I decided to buy a computer to use for school. I went to the biggest store in town, which sold all kinds of computers. There were so many computers there that I didnt know how to choose a right one.
“Hi! What can I do for you?” A young man greeted me with a sweet smile. He looked like not a salesman but a student like me. I sensed a strange feeling -- as if I had met him before. He began patiently showing me each model. With his help, I decided to buy one computer with enough functions at a very low price. I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile. A few months later, something was wrong with my computer. I went back to the store to have it fixed. When I arrived there, what I saw was still his smile. As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to solve the problem for me. I was quite grateful for his sweet smile and good service.
When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind. I don't know whether well meet each other again, but his sweet smile will stay there in my memory and deep in my heart. Smiling is the most peaceful language in the daily life.

    It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining about it, three people appeared at my desk—a tired woman and two children
    "Are you all sick?"I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.
    "Yes, "the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.
    But when they started to present their problems, things because unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending to cough.
    Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please, "said the mother. I checked their charts—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.
    The family huddled（卷缩）together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back the nurses'station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses'station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for"a Christmas emergency".
    We took out our meals for our Christmas"patients". We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed the needs of a family who needed only a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, "Thanks for being our angel. "

(an extract from a detective story)

…

"Sit down," Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan. "What are you here for?"

"I understand you had a parry last night" said Logan, a police officer.

"Yes," said Henderson, "Oh! I hope the neighbours haven't been complaining about the noise again. "

"Not that I know of." said Logan. "But a young girl, Fran, who came to the patty hasn't been home yet"

"Fran" said Henderson. "Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember-about one o'clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning."

Henderson looked quite relaxed.

"Did you know Clare?" asked Logan suddenly.

"Oh, God!" Henderson sat forward. "You don't think ... the same thing has happened to Fran?"

"We're keeping an open mind," said Logan, watching him carefully, "but we're giving it our full attention."

"Well, yes. I can understand that." replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.

"So," repeated Logan, "did you know Clare?"

"Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything do with each other." Said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile.

"Who else was at your party?" asked Logan.

"People from the university," said Henderson. "Students, teachers."

"David?" asked Grant, Logan's partner.

"Yes, David was here for a time." Henderson smiled again. "But he's not really a party animal. He probably left early."

"What do you mean, probably?" asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.

"Well, I don't check when my guests arrive and leave," said Henderson. "And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don't come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find." Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave her a big smile. "I sometimes end up in the bedroom".
