       For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying thing by
phone. Now, teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can
turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys and many other thing.
      Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden. For example, the biggest Swedish teleshopping
company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $
100 million. In France, there are two teleshopping channels (频道), and the French spend $ 20
million a year buying things through those channels.
      In Germany, until last year, teleshopping was on one channel for one hour every day. Then
the government allowed more teleshopping.  Other channels can now open for telebusiness,
including teleshoping, because it allows people to do their shopping without leaving their homes.
With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason to allow more teleshopping.
But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping
" junk on the air". Many Europeans worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality
is important to them, and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things they see on TV.
       The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different
from American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell.
They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can't touch or see in person.

     On June 30, 2009, a Yemenia airplane from Paris to Comoros, Africa, crashed into the Indian Ocean.
There were 153 people on the plane, including some French officials. Though people have been searching
since the plane went down, the result looked unpleasant, for most of the passengers might be in bad luck.
     But a 13-year-old girl called Bahia Bakari was discovered in the water, where she had been staying afloat
(漂浮的) by holding a piece of wreckage (残骸) from the plane tightly fo over 13 hours. When they found
her, the girl was too weak to catch he lifebuoy (救生圈) thrown to her, instead, a Comoran police officer,
said Abdilai, jumped into the water to pull the child onto the boat.
     Bahia Bakari was injured, especially her collarbone (锁骨) her father was pleased to see his daughter
although his wife had gone away in this tragedy. He said that his daughter could hardly swim. It was really
a miracle for her to escape in this way. In her daddy's warm arms, the girl could soon remember what she
had experienced."I was thrown out of the plane and then I saw the plane fall into the water. Next I found
myself in the water. I couldn't swim very well and I caught something but I didn't know what is was," said
the girl.
