I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. Ive slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think its an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good mannerspeople shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. Youre forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now Im afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and thats typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.61.

Just under half of the married women in the village have access to modem equipments.This year 28 babies will be born. Ten people will die, 3 of them for lack of food, 1 from cancer. Two of the deaths will be of babies born within the year. With the 28 births and 10 deaths, the population of the village next year will be 1,018.In this village of 1,000 persons, 200 people receive 75 percent of the income; another 200 receive only 2 percent of the income.About one-third have access to clean, safe drinking water.Of the 670 adults in the village, half can not read nor write.The village has a total yearly budget, public and private, of over $3 million$ 3 ,000 per person if it is distributed evenly.

A. a peaceful world B. good education C. better health care D. a life without anxietyCShopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged (包装) in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white packageblue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to.It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”69.

Effect of Packaging on Shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping TricksDPulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when youre a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York Citys Pennsylvania Railway Station.After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. Id like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.”When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. “You give an honest days work,” he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “Theyre paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.”I followed my dads advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.Of all the jobs Ive had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals,
