day. “our message is clear: shop less, live more!” says organizer michael smith. “the challenge is to try simple living for a day. spend time with family and friends, rather than spending money on them. anyone can take part, provided they spend a day without spending.”on buy nothing day, they take to the streets to tackle consumers. they dress as pigs to symbolize greed. they offer to cut up credit cards and hand out shopping bags with the words “another useless thing i dont need” written on the side. some hold street parties to show shoppers that it is possible to have fun without spending money. others go into shops and put notes saying “dont buy me” inside clothes and shoes. some protestors (抗议者) are working against powerful forces. many retailers (零售商) and manufacturers depend on christmas sales for most of their profits. around two thirds of gdp in the west is made up of consumer spending. if this drops, many people will lose their jobs. at least that will make it easier for them to buy nothing. and there is also the risk that the campaigners will be seen as killjoys, who want to stop people enjoying themselves. “theres a fun side to this,” says michael smith. “to some its a protest, but its also a street party. were not saying that people are bad because they go shopping, but we need get the message across for people to consume wisely. and after were finished, well probably go for a drink.”1. a a group of people in the uk choose saturday as national buy nothing day in that _. a. they have enough food at their homes.b. they have run out of money at

usually quite easy and require little planning. using the telephone for business purpose is different. in any organization the person on the telephone represents the company and gives an impression of

progressive company eager to give good service. before calling choose the right time. consider the cost, urgency and convenience. when calling overseas, you need to consider the time difference.check the number. a great deal of money is wasted each year on dialing wrong numbers.plan your call. make a list of points and questions to be raised.be prepared. gather any files, papers or information that may be needed during the call. it is unprofessional to have to say “hold on while i look for that.” if you have to ask a caller to hold on, keep going back and assuring him/her that you will be as quick as possible.avoid interruptions. call at a time when you are unlikely to be distracted (分心).during the call be courteous, polite. make time for suitable greetings like “how are you today, jim?” and “did you enjoy your holiday”?put a smile in your voice. remember, your caller can not see you, so use intonation to good effect and try to sound confident, decisive, helpful, and interested.

asked the youth his name. “j. c. ”, he replied. she thought he had said “jesse”, and he had a new name. owens ran his first race at age 13. after high school, he went to ohio state university. he had to work part time so as to pay for his education. as a second-year student, in the big ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the olympic games a year later.a week before the big ten meet, owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. his back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. he refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. he did try, and the results are in the record book.the stage was set for owens victory at the olympic games in berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. hitler did not congratulate any of the african-american winners. “it was all right with me,” he said years later. “i didnt go to berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.” having returned from berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. in fact, he was not honored by the united states until 1976, four years before his death. owens olympic victories made little difference to him. he earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs. “sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “but at least it was an honest living. i had to eat.” in time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “they have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “time has stood still for me. that golden moment dies hard.”9. b owens got his other name “jesse” when _. a. he went to ohio state
