One evening, a country maid (年轻姑娘) was walking along the path with a can (罐)of milk on her head, when she fell into the following imaginations. “I shall sell the milk. And I shall get some money. The money will help me to buy more than three hundred eggs. Maybe some of the eggs will go bad, or will be destroyed by vermin (害虫), but the good ones will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens. If the poultry are always dear, I will carry all the chickens to the market and sell them. By the new year, I can have enough money to buy a new dress. I like green, and green fits me best. OK, green the dress shall be. In this dress I will go to the party, and all young men there will want to invite me to be a partner of them. And I shall refuse every one of them, going away without looking at them.”

   When she was excited at this idea, she could not help moving her head. She shook her head again and again. Suddenly, the milk on her head poured down. And all her imaginary(想象的) happiness disappeared in a moment.

British people are famous for drinking tea. But both Sahar and Bobby Green became young millionaires(百万富翁) when they opened a chain of American-style(美国风味的) coffee shops in the U.K.

Advice for others: Sahar has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses.

My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He's had it for years. As he is very careful with it, so it still looks as good as new.   1   He shook his head. "Then how did you get it?" I asked. "Well," he answered, "there' s a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella.   2   And the people in the streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop.   3   What was worse, there even wasn't a person around, and still it rained and rained. At last a young man came to the place where I was standing.   4   As I hoped he would allow me to walk to the next corner with him, where I could get a taxi, I stepped out of the dark doorway where I had been standing.   5    As I suddenly appeared before him, the young man was so shocked that he dropped the umbrella. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be hard in this big city to find the owner, so I've kept it ever since."

A. Gradually, it grew quite dark.

B. He held a large umbrella over his head.

C. I asked him where he was going with that umbrella.

D. No buses ran through the street and there were no taxis.

E. I asked my uncle if he bought it or some one sent him as a gift.
