Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river , banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore . In any case , what would we have sailed by landing ? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures , and the jungle so thick that one would be able to move forward only slowly , cutting ones way with knives the whole way . So we stayed in the boat , hoping that when we reached the sea , a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization . We lived on fish , caught with a home-made of string (we had no hooks ), and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water . As we had no fire , we had to eat everything , including the fish ,raw . I had never tasted raw fish before , and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience: perhaps sea fish , which do not live in the mud , are less tasteless . After eating my raw fish , I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice ,and ice-cream . In the never-ending damp heat of the jungle , ice-cream was a particularly frequent dream . As for water , there was a choice ; we could drink the muddy river water , or die of thirst . We drank the water . Men who have just escaped what had appeared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water . In fact , none of us suffered from any illness as a result . One day we passed another village , but fortunately nobody saw us . We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time : we might not be so lucky to escape in a stolen boat again . 56.What they could see in the boat was only .

The sixteen stories that (交替)the tales of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters , in an exploration of the generational and cultural tensions (紧张关系)experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants . Tans parents , like many immigrants , had high expectations for their children and often set puzzling standards , expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak perfect English , be excellent at school work , and take advantage of every situation that might lead to suess . Tan , however , rebelled (反叛)against her parents expectations and devoted herself to being thoroughly American and dreaming of being a fiction writer . Tan got a bachelors degree in English and linguistics(语言学)and a masters degree in linguistics and established herself as a highly suessful business writer .

Turning to her life long dream , she wrote her first short story , “ Endgame,” and then a second , “Waiting between the trees .” In 1987 Tan visited her half-sisters in China with her mother , a trip that proved to be a turning point in her life and career . Tan felt a sense of pleteness , a tie with the country and its culture that she had never expected . Returning from China , Tan was surprised to learn that on the strength of her short stories she had received an advance from a publisher . Tan closed her business and wrote the remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club . It was a great suess , well received by the public and appearing on the New York Times bestseller list .

People who have such an addiction are pulsive (难以抑制的); i . e. , they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy . Aording to psychologists , many people are pulsive spenders : they feel that they must spend money . This pulsion , like most others , is irrationalimpossible to explain reasonably . For pulsive spenders who buy on credit , charge aounts (按月付款)are even more exciting than money . In other words , pulsive spenders feel that with credit , they can do anything . Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy . There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting . To save money , of course , most people look for sales , low prices , and discounts . Compulsive bargain hunters , however , often buy things that they dont need just because they are cheap . They want to believe that they are helping their budgets ，(预算), but they feel that they are winning . Most people, experts claim , have two reasons for their behavior : a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason . It is not only scientists , of course , who understand the psychology of spending habits , but also business-people . Stores , panies and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider peoples need for love , power , or influence , their basic values , their beliefs and opinions , and so on in their advertising and sales methods .

Besides publishing magazines and books, Time Warner, for example, owns Home Box Office (HBO), Warner movie studios, various cable TV systems throughout the United States and N as well. The Japanese pany Matsushita own MCA Records and Universal Studios and manufactures broadcast production equipment. To describe the financial status of todays media is also to talk about acquisitions(获得). The media are buying and selling each other in unprecedented(史无前例的) numbers and forming media groups to position themselves in the market place to maintain and increase their profits. In 1986, the first time a broadcast work had been sold, two works were sold that year, ABC and NBC. Media acquisitions have increased sharply since 1980 for two reasons. The first is that most big corporations today are publicly traded panies, which means that their stock is traded on one of the nations stock exchanges. This makes acquisitions relatively easy. A media pany that wants to buy a publicly owned pany can buy that panys stock when the stock bees available. The open availability of stock in these panies means that anybody with enough money can invest in the American media industries, which is exactly how Rupert Murdoch joined the media business. The second reason for the increase in media alliances is that beginning in 1980, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gradually removed the regulations from the broadcast media. Before 1980, for example, the FCC allowed one pany to own only five TV stations, five AM radio stations, and five FM radio stations; panies also were required to hold onto a station for three years before the station could be sold. The post-1980 FCC got rid of the three-year rule and raised the number of broadcast holdings allowed for one owner. This trend of media acquisitions is continuing throughout the 1990s, as changing technology expands the market for
