I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”
“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won’t buy anything, but it’s just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.
Paragraph 1:
I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?”

Paragraph 2:
“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my Grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him.

When Republic of Korea(ROK) President Moon Jae-in said on Feb 3, "China's difficulty is also ours" to raise his nation's awareness of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus(COVID-19) in China, China was facing the difficult period of controlling the spread of the virus nationwide. 1.
Now it is the ROK that seems to be at the critical juncture of how China was then, as the country has the highest number of people infected with the virus outside of China; 1,261 as of Wednesday.
2. That the organizing committee for the Olympic Games in Tokyo has for the first time noted that whether the Games will be held as scheduled in the summer depends on how well the epidemic(传染病) is controlled in the next three months indicates that the country is at a crossroad in its efforts to contain the spread of the virus.
The ROK and Japan's advanced medical systems, solid economic foundations and unity of their people in the fight against the virus will prove indispensable to defeating the virus. 3.
Before vaccines are developed, it is good to see that the two countries have already heeded China's lessons and experience in dealing with the epidemic and they are trying to limit population mobility. 4.
Given the three economies' collective importance to the global supply chain, other countries should also prepare for the epidemic's likely aftermath on the world economy, and consider what they can do to support the three countries in their struggle.
5.
A.However, their closely-packed populations will put their governance systems to a tough test.
B.Japan too seems to be facing a similar situation with 170 people infected with the virus, not including 691 from the ship quarantined(被隔离的) at Yokohama port.
C.Their battle is also the world's.
D.Public health policymakers and institutes should step up their cooperation so as to better coordinate their war against a common enemy.
E.It deeply appreciated the moral and material support given by the ROK.
F.The detection, quarantine and hospitalization of those who are suspected of being infected must be done in a wait-for-nothing manner as the two countries are in a race to get ahead of the spread of the virus.
G.It is trying hard to minimize the influence of the epidemic.
