5．It is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time，and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment．A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between 333 and 999 for the chance to act like a kid again．
At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show-and-tell，arts-and-crafts such as finger paint，games like musical chairs and even take naps．The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day．
30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos，the brain behind the adult preschool，studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher．She's always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood．A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead．
According to Candice，her blogger friend，Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children．"I realized all the significances of what we learn in preschool，"said founder Michelle Joni，"People come here and get in touch with their inner child．It's magical．We are bringing ourselves back to another place，another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves，more confident and ready to take on the world．"
"One person's here because they want to learn not to be so serious．"Michelle said．"Another's here to learn to be more confident．"She explained that most of the classes were planned．However，Joni added that while the planned activities were fun，it was often the spontaneous（自发的）moments that attracted students．"It's the things you don't plan for，the sharing between friends and learning from each other．''

6．Henry Ford，the famous U．S．inventor and car manufacturer，once said，"The business of America is business．''By this he meant that the U．S．way of life is based on the values of the business world．
    Few would argue with Ford's statement．A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business．For example，nearly every newspaper has a business section，in which the deals and projects，finances and management，stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily．In addition，business news can appear in every other section．Most national news has an important financial aspect to it．Welfare，foreign aid，the federal budget，and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business．Moreover，business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places．The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as"the entertainment industry''or"show business．''
    The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity（繁荣） that business has brought to U．S．1ife．One of the most important reasons why so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job．Jobs are produced in abundance because the U．S．economic system is driven by competition．People believe that this system creates more wealth，more jobs，and a materially better way of life．
    The negative side of Henry Ford's statement，however，can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business．And the term big business--referring to the biggest companies，is seen in opposition to labor．Throughout U．S．history working-people have had to fight hard for higher wages，better working conditions，and the fight to form unions．Today，many of the old labor disputes（分歧） are over，but there is still some employee anxiety．Downsizing--the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high--creates feelings of insecurity for many．
