Remember when a trip to the supermarket was nothing more than a boring thing requiring little or no specialized knowledge? You could send your kids into a cart while you did shopping. You always bought the same brands，usually the brands your mother bought. You didn't know about unit pricing，and furthermore，you didn't care. It never occurred to you to read the labels on anything. After all，you'd bought these things a hundred times.
But now，I really look on those days with a feeling of yearn(怀旧). How innocent we were! How carefree were those trips to the supermarket. No worries. Today a trip to the supermarket is filled with social influence. Every time I buy pork chops I think about the years I'm shaving from my life. I keep a careful eye on the freshness date and examine the tamper-proof packaging. I am victim of that most dangerous social disease：shoppers' panic.
I didn't realize how serious my condition had become until the last time I needed laundry, soap. It seemed simple enough. Just run into the market，grab a box of the old reliable and pay for it. I hadn't planned on discovering Ecover，a new brand of laundry soap. It sat quietly on the shelf right next to my old reliable. “Healthy，gentle but effective. ”My respect for it deepened with each new claim as I read the entire package. Then I looked at the price：$5. 69 for 2 pound. $5. 69! I cast a quick glance at the old reliable，still on sale for$1. 39.
Six bucks for laundry soap! These people must be crazy! Who's going to pay six bucks for laundry soap? It's not as though I can't afford it. See，it's concentrated―use less，get more. BUT SIX BUCKS! And the box is made from recycled materials …This act went on for a solid half hour，after which I left the shelf without any soap at all.
Surely the meat department is most threatening place. Remember what protein was good for you? That's all over. Every bite you take kills you. I won't even mention meat's moral influence.
When all is said and done，we still must eat. I gather up my healthy-cooking oil and my recycled paper towels and head to the checkout counter.

I remember my math teacher Mr. Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger. w.w I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”.
I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.
I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned. I smiled at him and said, “Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger?”
He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that,” I said.
The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B+; Mechanical Drawing, C-; English, D-; History, C-; Gym, B+; Art, C; Math, D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received. Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
