32、owner”, it shouldnt turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.Of satisfactory quality: It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problemAlso, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition
33、of what is considered “satisfactory”, because theres certainly an element of wear and tearFit for the purpose:It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the sellerIf any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the fight to reject

35、ot accepted, then its up to you to prove your case. Youll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.If t
36、he car is new ,its likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation.

It seems strange for me to be writing letters at allIve never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.Before leaving yester
43、day morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me.

I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. . You are rich. . You hate girls.I suppose I
46、 might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only thats rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but thats rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you wont stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in W

In contrast, other technology being proposed would require new equipment，such as RFID technologies.However, smart phones do not yet have the ability to pinpoint their location without recourse to the GPS system, which is not accessible indoors
55、 and has the added disadvantage of using up battery power very quickly even if it could be used. Inertial navigation only provides the necessary information relative to a specified starting point the team says. This is useful for anyone with a non-GPS smart phone who wishes to track the route they t

The team suggests that pedestrians indoors could be positioned using a combination of the smart phone accelerometer(加速器) and an built-in digital compass, something that will become available in future smart phones.They have now invest

77、ng to the information given in the passageIts no secret that raising children can be expensive but how about nearly a quarter of million dollars worth of expensive? A government report released on Tuesday says a middle income family with a child born last year will spend about $221,000 raising that
78、child through to age 17The report identified housing as the largest single expense, followed by food and childcare and education costs. The $221,000 in expenses rises to about $292,000 when adjusted for inflation(通货膨胀). Families with more income spend more money on child-related costs, the report sa
79、id. A two-parent family that earns less than $57,000 annually will spend about $160,000 on a child from birth through high school. Those with an income between $57,000 and $99,000 spend about $221,000 and those with higher incomes are expected to spend roughly $367,000.Most single-parent households
80、in the U.S. make less than $57,000 and are expected to spend about 7 percent less on child-rearing costs, compared to two-parent households in that same income group, according to the report. Costs of raising a child are highest in the urban northeast and lowest in the urban south and rural areas. T
81、he report helps courts and states determine child-support guidelines and foster care payments. It does not address costs specifically related to childbearing(分娩) and college.One of the largest changes over time has been the increase in costs related to caring for young children. The report was first
82、 issued in 1960, when such costs were largely very tiny, but with more working families turning to outside help with childcare, it has grown to be a significant expense for many families. The report does not give total costs related to early childcare. A mother of three Raben Andrews of St. Louis sa
