C;A;C;A;C;A 　　W：Can you give a discount for this microwave oven? 　　M：I can't reduce it for you. The price can be only as the tag shows. 　　W：Come on. Cut down the price just a little. I can buy this in another store, but I choose to buy it with you as your store is nearer to my place. 　　M：Well, I do have to meet a quota in order to get my commission. OK. I'll take off, let say, fifty dollars. How does that sound? 　　W：Oh no. I was thinking maybe more in three digits. Something like two hundred? 　　M：Please. That's way off too much. Seventy-five, no more no less. 　　W：Give it two zeros like a hundred. I feel luckier with zeros. 　　M：Alright, eighty is my last offer, anything higher than that will eat into our profits already. 　　W：OK. I can settle for that. Be sure to have it securely packaged. 　　When you walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reasons why people keep a dog have changed. In the past people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without masters' permission. But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child if they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.
