When I came to the United States, I didn’t speak any English.When anyone asked me something, I always said “Yes.” But I really didn’t know what they were saying.Once I went to a large store to buy a mouse(鼠标) for my computer.When I got there, I was worried about the price.At last I found a cheap mouse.I checked the price to make sure of it before I went to the cashier.While I was at the cashier’s, she asked me something.I said, “Yes,” even though I didn’t understand what she said.Then she told me what I had to pay.The price was different.I knew something was wrong.But I was afraid to say anything.
Later, at home, I thought about what the cashier said to me.What made the price go up? Then my husband came home.He looked at the receipt and found out what was wrong.The cashier’s question was, “Would you like a one-year warranty (保修)？” and my answer was,
“Yes.”
Since that day, I have never said “Yes” before I understand the question.And I have never paid more than the actual (实际的) price.

Old Mr.Green has lived in southern Iowa for a very long time.He has worked on the land all his life and he sees no reason to stop now.His legs have bothered him for many years, and his hands have pain(疼痛).His wife has been asking him to get some help from a doctor, but he has never listened to her.He has known old doctor since he was a boy, so of course he trusts(信任) him.But it’s one thing to trust a doctor, another to really go and see him.At last, when he cannot work because of the pain, he has to let his wife take him to see the old doctor.
“How long have you had problems with your legs, Mr.Green?”
“For three years!”
“And your hands? They’ve given you pain for a few years, right? I think you might have arthritis (关节炎).I know you’ve been taking care of your farm by yourself all these years.From now on you’d better get someone to help you on the farm and keep yourself warm.Come and see me again in two months.”
Mr.Green feels sorry that he didn’t come to see the doctor earlier.

Temperatures (温度) around the world are going up year after year.A report shows that the ten warmest years since 1860 all happened after 1987.Of those ten, nine happened after 1990.The report also says the increase (上升) in temperature over the past 25 years is greater than that over the past 1,000 years.
Ken Davidson, a world-famous scientist, agrees with the scientific findings that global (全球) warming is happening just because of what people do on the earth.He says one of the most important reasons for the higher temperatures is the fact that cities are getting bigger and bigger.Studies show that cities are hotter than other places.
Reports show that many places around the world have had unusual weather in the past few years because of global warming.Most of Asia, for example, is warmer than before, and in India hundreds of people have even died from the hot and dry weather each year.Parts of Africa have often had unusually heavy rains while other parts of Africa have had unusually dry weather.In parts of Europe, more than 100 people died from heavy rainfall in September 2002.Yet large parts of North and South America had very dry weather in the same year.
