It is reported, some needy students receive financial support of some kind people but never express our thanks．Personally, I think they are wrong．
Though the helpers didn’t expect any reward in return, but it’s necessary and good manner to say “thank you”．Besides, it is a basic social skill express ourselves in modern society．Maybe some of them do feel thankfully．It is only because they are afraid of being looked down upon which they remain silent．But I just want to say that being poor for a moment doesn’t mean you will be poor forever．

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping — watching TV and buying things by phone. __1__ In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.__2__ For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for tele-business, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. __3__
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. __4__ Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.__5__ They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.
A．The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.
B．Teleshopping is popular among people.
C．German teleshopping business is controlled by American.
D．Now teleshopping is starting in Europe.
E. They call teleshopping “Junk on the air”.
F. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
G. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure？Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation—in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were worried at the thought of driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and learn all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom, there is always one for you.
It surely beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.
