         Are you a problem shopper? The answer is "Yes", if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get
    carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme
    shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an "out-of-control" feeling about the
    quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.
         Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem-addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven
    by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend
    money and they feel a "rush" during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.
         Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and
    shame are common ones. When we feel had inside, we often do something to make ourselves-feel better. In
    this case, we often go shopping.
         A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for
    status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop
    assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness
    in their life.
         Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls
    where you can't see clocks displaying the time because they don't want you to become too aware of the time
    you spend there What's more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you don't have to
    leave the mall because of your physical needs.
         Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your
    shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided
    before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will
    spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That
    is vital for gaining self-control.
    1. Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?
    [     ]
    A. Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use.
    B. Those who just walk around the shopping malls.
    C. Those who are occupied in too much shopping.
    D. Those who feel sorry for their shopping.
    2. According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?
    [     ]
    A. The awareness of how market forces work 
    B. The desire for status, power, beauty or success.
    C. Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people's life.
    D. Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.
    3. What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?
    [     ]
    A. Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.
    B. Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.
    C. Making the shopping time as short as possible.
    D. Making a shopping list before we go shopping.
    4. The author writes this passage to _____.
    [     ]
    A. inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers
    B. provide solutions to the problem shopping
    C. scold the problem shoppers
    D. tell a shopping story

    　　Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job I’m not a football commentator(评论员),though-just an English teacher in japan．

    　　I came to japan two years ago, and didn't think I would stay, but japan has that effect on you. People after endup tiving bere longer than they planned

    I think it’s best to teach in a biggest eity where there are onther foreigners to mix with. Rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bovd Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for geueral quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices．

    　　I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL eourse first. Beeause your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part time．

    　　Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here．

    　　The schools are reluetam to take time off –even teachers with tichets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off．

    　　Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly．Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour．Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed．Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending．Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks．

    　　All this saves timc, but at a prick．When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so．We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers．Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about．

    　　Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems．We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time．Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world．

    　　There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle．No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern．There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this．Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;：they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone．Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee．

       Here is some general information about Edison Elementary School. For more information, you
    can visit our website which is printed on the cover.
         Attendance:
    Please contact the office at 480. 472. 5282 if your child is going to be absent.
         Renaissance Reading:
    The Accelerated Reader (AR) Program is a computerized reading enrichment program that combines
    great children's literature with computer skills. As an individualized reading program, it is designed to
    motivate students to read more and to read good literature. Students of different abilities can use this
    program. It is not a competitive program but one that improves any student's reading ability.
         Here is how it works. Students select books in their reading range from our Accelerated Reader
    Selection and read it at their own pace. Once the student has completed the book, he/she is ready to
    take an AR quiz. Each quiz consists of 5, 10, or 20 multiple choice comprehensive questions about
    the book.
         After taking the quiz, the computer shows the student how many questions he/she answered
    correctly, shows the correct answers for missed questions, and praises the students' efforts with an
    onscreen personalized message. Passing the quiz assures the teacher and the parent that the child
    actually read and understood the book.  Each student tests independently-reading the quiz questions
    himself/herself.
         The computer keeps track of reading points, books, and average test scores, as well as other
    data. A student may test on a book only once and should, therefore, have thoroughly read and
    understood the contents before taking the quiz. Each student is responsible for reading the screen
    to be sure the quiz, by title and author, is the correct one he/she wishes to take.
         Students are recognized for their accomplishments with praise from the teachers and special
    recognition at the classroom level when individual and/or classroom goals are met.
         P. T. O.
         We have an active ParentTeacher Organization. They have monthly meetings, check the calendar
    for the meeting times and places.
