In Britain, high school students can run a business! Each business runs for one year. When they start their business, they borrow money from parents and friends. At the end of the year, these people will receive some of the profits . Running a business is not difficult for students. They always receive a lot of advice (建议) from teachers and business people. They always ask themselves four questions: 1. What do people want to buy? 2. Where is a good place to sell the product (产品) ? 3. How is our product better than other products? 4. What is the price of the product? There are usually about five to seven students in each business. They sell things like books, T-shirts and computer games. Some businesses make $20,000 -30,000, but most groups make a small profit about $1,000 -3,000. The students can do what they like with the profits. However, some of them think that it is important to use the money in a good way, such as giving the money to charity(慈善机构). Most students enjoy running a business and all the students think that they learn a lot.

Five years _______ a long time.

Weight(体重) is one of the taboo subjects. In America, it is OK, or even good, to be thin but it is an embarrassment (尴尬) to be overweight. In fact, the thinner you are, the more beautiful you are thought to be. You'll find that most models(模特) are nothing more than skin and bones. A woman who is thin is easy to become popular. Of course, there are lots of people do their best to be thin. They may use all kinds of ways, such as doing exercise, or dieting(节食). But, sometimes, dieting may bring about some healthy problems. Americans are very careful about their weight and most of the time they do not tell others how much they weigh.. . even if they are quite thin. Therefore, you'd better not ask about it. But if you really want to talk about this subject, it's always safer to say, "Oh, it looks like you have lost weight." However, if you would like to be honest and polite, I suggest that you should choose your words carefully, perhaps by saying, "Hey, you look great. Very healthy looking." And always remember, you can not use the word "fat".

What is the mother bear doing now in March? She's sleeping. Last autumn, after having eaten very well, she made a den , covering the inside with dry grass, under a tree. In the beginning of winter, she went into it. "What a fine place it is," she thought to herself, "and how nice and warm! I'll spend all winter in here. " She went to sleep at once, but she did not fall into a very deep sleep. For, in January, the mother bear has given birth to baby bears. While still half sleeping, she has licked (舔) them clean. Her body clock will go off in April. And then she will go out of her den to look for food: food for herself and for her young. The babies will be a lot bigger by then. As soon as it is warm enough, the family will leave the den and the mother bear will start teaching the baby bears the lessons of life. To catch their attention (注意), she gives some caresses (爱抚), but when the babies do not listen to her, she will beat them. This is the way for all the bears in the world, whether in Europe, in Asia, or in America.
