题目内容
18.I wandered into the small store where I usually buy milk,when the store owner received a call from a customer.The customer and his wife had shopped there several months earlier.He noticed that his wife really liked one thing in the store,so he wanted to buy it as a surprise.But the customer was in Tennessee,far away from the store which was in Maine.What's more,he had been to the store several months earlier,and it was difficult to believe that the store owner would remember him,or what he was looking for.
The store owner took a few close-up photos with her camera,and e-mailed them to the customer on the computer.The customer looked at the photos,decided which one he wanted.They talked and discussed a price over the phone.She took care of the credit card transaction(交易)online,and promised the gift would be shipped out that afternoon.
The store owner was really smart.She was willing to push herself to find new ways to make the transaction actually happen.And it did work.However,it was the first time she had ever done it.
I was amazed that the store owner discovered a creative solution that could lead to a new way of doing business.I was impressed by what she did---so easily,but how difficult it is for many of us to make that leap(飞跃,跳跃).I'm not just talking about technology,but about learning how to adapt to change.Most people hate or fear change unless they get to know exactly what change needs to be made.However,we should realize that challenge and opportunity go hand in hand.

Acid rain is actually a broad term which is used to describe different types of acid that fall from the atmosphere on earth.It's mainly divided into wet and dry.Parts of the world which experience wet weather have acid rain,acid snow and fog.Other parts which experience dry weather for most of the year experience acid gas and acid dust.
One of the main causes of acid rain is a sudden drop in the pH levels of water and that happens because of absorption of harmful gases by the atmosphere.The best way to bring back the pH balance of water is to limit the use of items which run on petrol.Instead use products which run on electricity.
Another great thing that all people can do is to learn how to drive cars efficiently.To reduce smoke emission from cars,drivers should ease up as soon as the yellow light rather than slamming on the brakes and they shouldn't rush away as soon as the lights turn green.These small practices help reduce the wastage of petrol.
Limit the use of buses or cars for small things,people can also make use of cycles or walk to cover small distances.
Another great tip which almost all of us can practice is to always keep the vehicle tyres full of air,which will provide users with a better fuel economy.
Turn off your lights,computers and other appliances when not in use.
Learn about the different sources of energy besides fossil (化石) fuels and try to use them in daily life.Many nations like France and Germany are using electrical,nuclear,wind and solar energy on large basis.
