A Good Custodian

I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian.

I pass her every day after school as she pushes her cart down my

hallway.Of course, she is my building's cleaner,

One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a  36 on my

desk from my custodian,

It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been  37  to clean it.This took  38  than she had expected. She had left the typewritten note on my desk to  39 for not being able to clean my room as she was  40  to do.

At the beginning of the period, I shared her note with my first period  41  When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us, their first  42 was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their  43  . It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name -all of them responded with smiles and  44  for a long time about this time or that time when she'd  45 each of them in the hallway.That she felt she needed to apologize  46  a strong reaction from many of the kids.

As the class period was about to end, I asked them to  47 the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage   48  it wasn't theirs.My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly  49  their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that  50  so easily from notebooks.One girl made a (an)  51  that I later used with my other classes:" Her job might be to clean the room, but she shouldn't have to clean up  52 us.There's a difference.”

I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong.I believe that people appreciate it when others  53  take care of them.And I believe that people, even adolescents who are not quite yet mature, appreciate it when they see someone who takes  54  in her work. Sometimes we need a  55  of the things we take for granted ...things like a good custodian to take care of us.

  Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand(品牌)of product on the shelf.

  Coloring, for example, are various according to what the producers are trying to sell.Health foods are covered in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.

  When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the cus-tomers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective.Finally, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package(包装)-blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.

  The size of a product can attract a shopper.But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.

  It is believed that the better known companies spend, on average, seventy percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!

  The most successful producers know that it is not enough to have a good product.The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote their goods, came to the conclusion:“Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius(天才)to sell it.”
