Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant (仆人). He and the servant(仆人） loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.
One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take good care of them.” With these words, he went out.
But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue. After the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. Because he drank too much, he was drunk and fell to the ground. When the rich man came back, he couldn't find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up. But the servant told his story very well. He said a cat had eaten up everything. He was afraid to be punished, so he drank the poison to kill himself.

   For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (欧洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example.The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made ＄100 million.In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through these channels.
    In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day.Then the government allowed (允许) more telepshopping.Other channels can open for telebusiness, including (包括) the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
    Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes .With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason.But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air”.Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
    The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

Every January we celebrate the life of a great man, Martin Luther King who fought for civil rights. He believed that all Americans should be treated fairly, no matter what their skin colors were.

Dr. King was born in 1929 in Atlanta. Because he was dark, he could not go to the same schools as white children. Black Americans also had to use separate restrooms, restaurants, theatres and swimming pools in some states.

Dr. King thought this was wrong. He was a Christian minister(牧师) who worked for equal right for black people. He helped organize protests to change those unfair laws.

It was a hard fight. Dr. King was attracted and arrested(逮捕) many times. But more and more Americans grew to understand that it was wrong to treat black people differently from white people.

In 1963, Dr. King led many people in a march to Washington D. C. where there he gave his famous speech "I have a Dream." He said people should be judged by their hearts, not by their skin colors. His efforts helped bring about new laws to create equal rights for all Americans.

The third Monday of January is a holiday to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King. We should respect his courage in working to improve the lives of so many people.

One day when I was six, Grandpa sent me into the woods to gather pecans for us to enjoy.

Pecan picking was really tiring work and my little basket was only half full. When I was in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, something attracted me. A large brown squirrel a few feet away picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and disappeared in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later he crawled out of his hiding place and climbed down to the ground. Once again, he took another pecan back to his home.

No more a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Handful by handful, I scooped all those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I couldn't wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. "Well, well, how did you find so many?" He asked. I told him what I did.

Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I'd been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me. He handed the basket back to me, "That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter food," he said {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "Now that all of his pecans are gone, do you think the little squirrel will survive the cold winter? A good person should {#blank#}5{#/blank#} take advantage of someone else's hard work."

I felt so guilty that I hurried back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

I didn't eat any pecans that night, but I had the satisfaction of knowing I had done just the right thing.
