21、ey from me, write it down on this page, and on the next page write down what happens to the money.”When Mr. Black came home the next Tuesday, his wife came to him and showed him the book. “I have done what you told me,” she said happily.

25、n uncomfortable (不自在) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents dont understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand. It is t
26、rue that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situatio
27、n. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset (扰乱) by something unexpected. When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
28、Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted. Thats why young people want to make a new c
29、ulture (文化) of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy. Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left
30、 alone and do what you like. It is natural enough after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents control.If you plan to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of re
31、sponsibility (责任), they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.46. _ are to blame (受到责备) for the quarrels between parents and their children, according to this article.A.

Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family was very poor farmers, and there was never enough to ea
35、t. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city. Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for displaying goods to arouse peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell
36、 some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said: FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared. Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But
37、 he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that t
38、he factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

44、mputer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business.

Our computer is down.” “If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.” “I ca
45、nt write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?” “We give the computer the information about your trip,
46、and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.” “So when it goes down, you go down with it.” “Thats good, sir.” “How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea.

Theyre still flying, arent they?” “I couldnt tell without asking the computer.” “Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot
48、 if hes flying to Washington,” I suggested.“I wouldnt know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.” “Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?” “I wouldnt know,” she said, pointing at the da
49、rk screen. “Only IT knows. It cant tell me.” By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down.
