It’s difficult these days to find someone to come and repair your fridge, your TV set or your washing machine if it breaks．Everybody wants to sell you new fridges, new TV sets or new washing machines, but nobody wants to repair them when they stop working．One day Mrs．White found that her washing machine didn’t work, so she telephoned a workshop．Three days later, a young man from the shop came to see what was wrong with her washing machine．But Mrs．White was not too glad and said, “well, you arrived at last．I called you three days ago．Today is Tuesday．” The man paid no attention to what she said．He just took a piece of paper out of his pocket and looked at it．Then he said, “Three days ago? That was 21^st, wasn’t it”? “Well, I am sorry．I come to the wrong place．I am looking for Mrs．Smith’s house, not yours．She telephoned me on the 20th．”

　　Students at Shenzhen Luohu Foreign Language Middle School learn to keep themselves safe by saying “no．” Starting this month, other Shenzhen students are also learning important lessons about drugs．

　　“Because teens don’t know much about drugs, they might want to try them, ” Zhang Dongsheng, the director of Shenzhen’s Drug Control Office, said．

　　English words don’t stay the same．People need new words for new ideas and new inventions．Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way．

　　English can change by borrowing words from other languages．The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico and “tea” came from China and so on．Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too．New words are formed by adding two words together．“countryside” and “earthquake” are made up of two parts．Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words．The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word．“plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”．The names of people and products(产品)can become new words, too．Our “sandwich” was named after a man Sandwich and “sello”(透明胶带)was a name given by the company that first made the product．
