Maria had to support herself and her son. She had been divorced (离婚) for ten years and was used to shopping for her son, who would be entering college in two years. Then she would only be shopping for herself. She felt sad when she thought of this. She hoped that he would choose a local college. Thus he could continue to live at home. She loved him, and feared the day when he would no longer be her daily companion (陪伴).
Maria drove to Costco, a store that sold food in bulk (批发) packages so that customers could save money. She parked her car far from the entrance of the store, which meant a longer walk, but it also meant she could leave faster. She got one of the big shopping baskets outside and pushed it into the store. Surprisingly, the store wasn’t all that crowded.
In the fruit section she sorted through nine packages of seedless green grapes before she found one that she liked. She carefully picked some bananas, apples, and other fruit, but she couldn’t find her son’s favorite type of oranges. On the way home, she planned to stop at another market or two until she found them. Although Maria lived a hard life, she loved her son very much.

When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing homework.
I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy, so I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.
Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.
Other parents dislike the recent trend (趋势) toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition are those who say that homework increases the gap (差距) between the rich and the poor, since middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.
So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

India is a developing country. It has thousands of years of tradition and culture. Different types of people live in India. In the old days the educational institutions (教育机构) were called "ashramam" and teachers were "gurus". A guru was a respected person in society.
Now we are living in the technological world. Big changes are occurring in people’s living. The influence of television, telephone, radio, computer, Internet and mobile phones is very strong in everyday life. But even today, teachers are role models for students. Teaching is still a respectable job. But there are great changes in the education system.
One of the most obvious changes is that the influence of Western culture has increased. We are paying too much attention to doing business, just like the Western world. Teachers are likely to to be influenced by this too, but it is not good. Teachers are nation builders. The development of any country depends upon its education system. All types of development are possible through education.
Another change has happened in the curriculum (课程). The curriculum connects the teacher and the student. While education is about learning, curriculum means the

Students studying in Australia often find that living there costs too much. Food, public transportation(交通), clothing and entertainment are the main expenses. Here are some ways to save money without lowering your quality of life.
First, always ___________. Large supermarkets always have things on sale. Every week these things will change. You should shop at these large stores. They sell cheaper goods, and have more things for you to choose than in the smaller shops.
Secondly, you can save on public transport by buying passes(通行证), which can be used for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month or even 1 year. The longer the pass can be used, the more you’ll save, since the greatest discount(折扣)is on the longest pass. Some cities sell passes that can be used on buses, trains, the subway and even boats. This means that with a pass you can take any types of transport, anywhere, at anytime, at no other cost. You can buy transport passes in bus, train, and subway stations.
Third, get a telephone card if you’re making a lot of international calls. With one AUD(澳大利亚元)10 card, you can talk to a friend in the USA or Canada for more than 2 hours.

A man eating in a restaurant called the waiter and complained that he was given only one piece of bread in his dish. He told the waiter that he should be served more pieces of bread the next time. The second time he came there the waiter served him three pieces of bread. He said it was better than last time, but he’d like more. So the third time he came, the waiter gave him five pieces of bread; however, the man still seemed unhappy. Later the waiter told the cook about the man. The cook said he would make the man fully satisfied the next time. Two days later the man came again. The waiter warned the cook about the man. Then the cook made a big piece of bread of 10 inches wide and 30 inches long. The waiter served the bread to the customer happily. But the man just looked at it for a while and stood up angrily, saying that it was the last time he would come. He also shouted, "I keep telling you I want more pieces of bread and here you are once again serving me just one!"
