| If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others? Don"t listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It"s not true at all. More and more young people in the U.S.A. volunteer (志愿) to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don"t do it for money. Here are some of their stories. Alice Hamilton, 17 I"m going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths in the mountains. It"s going to be terrific (极好的)-I"ll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I"m going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I"ll be able to do something good at the same time. Jason Moore,18 This summer, I"m going to volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost (低成本的) houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They"ll teach me what to do, so I"ll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses. Trish Anderson,16 I"m going to teach kids who have trouble in reading. I"ll work for a program called Reading for Life. Every day, I"m going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me. | ||

| Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you"ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn"t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to but things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don"t but anything just because it"s cheaper than usual! "New and Improved!" or "All Natural" on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (成分) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand. Another suggestion for customers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don"t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you often find high quality and low pices in brands that are not famous. Shopping on discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren"t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores. Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and heck for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice. | ||

| 2. The writer suggests consumers buy ordinary products because ____. | ||

| (Maria and Li Lei are talking about the photos on the wall in Li Lei"s home.) Maria: Oh, Li Lei. What a nice photo? You were so cute then! Li Lei: Yes, everybody loved me so much! In those days I was so happy. Maria: But the family in the other photo is very big. It seems that their living conditions were not very good. Li Lei: Yes. It"s a photo of my father"s family. When he was a child, most families in the country had at least three or four children. At that time, China was the country with the largest population in the world. And it was not well developed. Mafia: Great changes have taken place in China. Of course, China has developed a lot because of our country"s one-child policy. Now most families have only one child. I"m the only child in my family, and I"m a "Little Emperor". Maria: Oh, that"s too bad. Li Lei: My granny thinks so, too. So she tells my parents to be more strict with me. But really, Li Lei, that"s a good thing. No one likes "Little Emperors". | ||
