The story is told about two people named David and Rosy Jackson. Both
of them had very bad memory. For example, Rosy would forget to cook
dinner，or David would go to work on Sunday，thinking it was Monday.
One winter they were to take a long plane trip. When they arrived at the
airport, there was ten minutes left.In that situation(情况) anyone would get
into the plane right away.But Mr. and Mrs Jackson didn’t do so. They went
to buy the travel first. After they put a two-pound note into a machine , their
insurance policy came out."Who would get the money if the plane crashed,
I wonder?" asked Rosy."My mother，of course. " her husband replied.
"We'll post the policy to her. " Now be quick give me a stamp,will you?"
He said. "The plane is going to take off in a minute. " David put the stamp
on the envelope, dropped it into a postbox. And suddenly he let out a cry.
What do you think happened to him? He had posted their plane tickets to
his mother.
In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(请客)at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.
Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:
" Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night? "
" Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come'? "
To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you're sorry and give an excuse(借口):
" Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?" or " Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie." Sometimes, however, people use expressions(措辞)that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitations(邀请). For example:
" Please come over for a drink sometime? "
" Why not get together for a party sometime? "
"Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"
They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say: "Sure, that would be nice!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."
So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

In many big cities there are people who cannot get work. Sometimes they do not want to work, but sometimes there isn't any work for them to do.
Some of these people beg for money. Some of them sell boxes of matches or cheap pens, and some or them sell flowers.
Andrew never gave money to beggars. "People should work for their money," he believed. He also believed there was work for everyone, which was however not true.
One day when he was waiting for a bus, he met a beggar who was an old woman wearing very old and dirty clothes. She had no shoes and she was selling some flowers.
"Give an old woman ten dollars, mister," she said to Andrew. "I haven't had a meal for three days."
"I'm not giving you ten dollars," Andrew said.
"What about five dollars, then, mister?" the poor old woman asked. "That'll buy me a couple of pieces of bread."
"No," Andrew said.
"Then what about one dollar?" the old woman asked. "I can buy an orange."
"I haven't got one dollar," Andrew said. "Now go away."
The old woman looked at him sadly, and then gave him her flowers.
"Here, mister," she said. "You have these. You need them more than I do."
