She is going to stay with the Clark family for a year. Gretel has come to England for studies. But she has to help Mrs Clark in the house in order to get enough money. So she has to go to English classes in her spare time every day. Gretel hasnt been in England long and everything is strange to her. She finds life in London quite different from life in Vienna. Some things are nicer in London; other things are not so nice. For example, the shops are bigger in London than in Vienna and there are all kinds of good things to be sold. It is very easy for people to choose what they need. But it is more expensive to enjoy yourself in London. It is expensive to have a meal at a restaurant or to go to a theatre. Gretel likes English people, who are kind and often ready to help others. But she is hot happy with two things. One is: English people do not speak English the way she heard it in Vienna. Sometimes she cant understand them at all. She often asks them to repeat, and sometimes she has to use her eyes, hands, and even arms to make herself understood better. The other thing is: she doesnt think English breakfast is OK. “You English eat so much in the morning,” she often says. “Fruit juice, porridge, eggs, tea and coffee, bread and marmalade!

His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “Youre lucky, Ron, “ he said. “For every boy with a job these days, theres a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the seam, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Rons breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old mans arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.

A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first. In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy. The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it inn milk. Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knockedout teeth. He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium. He also tried just drying the teeth in the open air. He used teeth that had to be removed from peoples mouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions or stored in the air for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were. The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr Courts said that the best thing of all was to awash the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dentist. 36.This passage is mainly about _.
