Do you want a cup of hot tea?” “Im not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!” “We are here to help you. Dont worry about anything. I dont know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).” “Why, yes. Youre right. But how do you know these things?” “ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.” “My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He es from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mothers money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.” Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helens story. He hears every detail. Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.” “He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes. “No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.” “Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?” “My dear Mr Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead.

It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term. “Suess is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students. Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not suess.” “How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer. “Now were getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.” “Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe weve already talked about excess versus(与比较) suess.” “Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud. “Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Suess is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more suessful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.” “What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasnt funny, he wasnt happy. “Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.” “What if I dont have a family?” he continued to be difficult. “Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.” “He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Toms friend, shouted out. “Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself. Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer. “So in the next nine weeks, were going to study basic business situations, like having a checking aount and understanding credit cards.” Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?” “You already are, Tom.

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the users position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are. GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street. There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a work of ground stations. They are all over the world. Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as mon as the mobile. They are being cheaper and more and more aurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will bee like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again. 16. Aording to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _.
