An expensive car speeding down the main street of a small town was soon caught up with by a young motorcycle policeman. As he started to make out the ticket, the woman behind the wheel said proudly, ¡°Before you go any further, young man, I think you should know that the mayor of this city is a good friend of mine.¡±The officer did not say a word, but kept writing. ¡°I am also a friend of chief of police Barens,¡±continued the woman, getting more angrier each moment. Still he kept on writing. ¡°Young man ,¡±she persisted, ¡°I know Judge Lawson and State Senator (²ÎÒéÔ±) Patton.¡± Handing the ticket to the woman, the officer asked pleasantly, ¡°Tell me, do you know Bill Bronson.¡±

EBay will launch an online group gift-buying service today designed to make it easier for several people to chip in, buy and pay for gifts using their social-network and e-mail contacts£®

EBay North America Vice President Christopher Payne says it is going to be a major step forward in social commerce, which is the still-small practice of selling products through social networks£®Online retail experts aren't as certain, but eBay says the new tool makes it easier for friends and relatives to chip in £¨´ÕÇ®£© for gifts because it eliminates the headache of collecting contributions£®It can also be used for family members to pitch in to buy, say, an expensive child seat for a mother£®

Anything on eBay that's available immediately, rather than up for bid, can be purchased this way starting today at groupgifts£®eBay£®com£®If members of an extended family wanted to buy a gift for one member, one person would choose a gift ¡ª or have one recommended by eBay ¡ª and invite family members to chip in using Facebook or e-mail£®Those who wanted to join in would choose an amount to contribute £¨or agree to pay a requested amount£© and pay using either PayPal or a credit card£®They could also add a personal note£®

If enough people don't chip in, the organizer can ask people to contribute more or choose a less expensive gift£®

"I see myself using this most in cases when I typically might not buy someone what they want because of price," says Nitzan Shaer of Boston, who was part of an online test of the site£®

EBay, with its 200 million products, millions of sellers and mobile commerce proficiency, is a logical place to pull together the products, groups of buyers and payment tools, Payne says£®

At least 12 sites, such as FrumUs£®com and eDivvy£®com, facilitate £¨±ãÓÚ,ÀûÓÚ£© group purchases but don't sell products£®Although a handful of retailers, including Victoria's Secret and 1-800-Flowers, sell products through Facebook, Payne says he expects social commerce will take off as rapidly as shopping using mobile devices£®EBay did more than $600 million in sales on mobile devices last year and expects mobile sales to increase to $1£®5 billion this year£®

Although one in five consumers surveyed said they'd used Facebook for shopping in the past year, 88% said they would not be buying holiday gifts through a social network, mobile phone or smartphone£®Of these, 26% were reluctant because of security or privacy concerns, and 20% were unclear about the benefits of using phones or Facebook to shop£®

1.What procedure should be followed if your extended family intends to buy your grandpa an 80th birthday gift?

¢ÙAsking family members to contribute more money if enough members don¡¯t chip in

¢ÚChoosing a gift at groupgifts£®eBay£®com

¢ÛPaying using PayPal or a credit card

B£®social commerce can eliminate the headache of collecting contributions

C£®eBay¡¯s new tool will gain mass adoption by online shoppers

D£®with the help of eBay¡¯s new tool, FrumUs£®com and eDivvy£®com will also sell products

 

 A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin £¨Íçͯ£© was walking around the shining car. ¡°Is this your car, Paul?¡± he asked.

         Paul answered, ¡°Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.¡± The boy was surprised. ¡°You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish¡­¡± He hesitated.

         Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

         ¡°I wish,¡± the boy went on, ¡°that I could be a brother like that.¡± Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, ¡°Would you like to take a ride in my car?¡±

         ¡°Oh yes, I¡¯d love that.¡±

         After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, ¡°Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?¡±

         Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again£®¡°Will you stop where those two steps are?¡± the boy asked.

         He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled £¨²Ð¼²£© brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

         ¡°There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn¡¯t cost him a cent. And some day I¡¯m going to give you one just like it¡­ Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I¡¯ve been trying to tell you about.¡±

Visitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many things to do for

free in London from museums and galleries to free music and walking tours.

Art Galleries

Tate Modern and Tate Britain are exceptional national art galleries housing some of the finest artworks in the world. Tate Modern focuses on contemporary art while Tate Britain displays British Art from the sixteenth century to the present day.

Museums

All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. Other great major museums are the British Museum, the V&A, the Science Museum, and the      Natural History Museum. Oh, and I love the Geffrye Museum. And the. Now I can't decide which is the best!

Many of London's major art galleries and museums are open in the evening and often have special evening events. This can be a great way to relax at the end of a busy day seeing the sights. The main London galleries and museums are air-conditioned so it can be a wonderful way to cool down in the height of summer in the city. Galleries and museums are not open late every night so here is a handy list to help you plan your days and evenings.

Royal Parks

Many people say the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Fountain and the Peter Pan Statue.

There are often free talks and guided walks in the royal parks so do check the What's On section of the Royal Parks website.

Changing of the Guard

No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11:30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.

53. The passage is intended to _________.

 A. recommend some free scenic spots to tourists       

 B. help visitors save money while visiting Ireland

 C. advise travelers how to choose art articles      D. tell readers London¡¯s wonderful history

54. If you visit some museums in London in the evening, you ________.

 A. can see all the artworks free of charge                B. have to endure the heat of the summer

 C. need to pay admission for general exhibition  

D. may have a chance to enjoy some special events

55. In order to watch Changing of the Guard in summer, visitors have to _________.

  A. gain access to the front gates after 11:30 a.m.

It¡¯s time to do something for your father ¨C the man who for many people has been an encouragement and support since birth.

The third Sunday of June is Father¡¯s Day. The holiday honors not only fathers, but also all men who act as father figures, such as stepfathers, uncles and grandfathers.

The idea of Father¡¯s Day came from the love and appreciation of American lady called Sonore Smart Dodd in 1909.

Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. He raised six children by himself on a countryside farm in Washington State after his wife died during the birth of their sixth child.

When Dodd became an adult, she realized the selflessness her father has shown in raising his children as a single parent.

It was her father who did all for his children. In the eyes of his daughter, William Smart was a courageous, selfless and loving man.[

Dodd¡¯s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father¡¯s Day celebration in Washington on June 19th, 1910.

In 1924, US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father¡¯s Day. Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June as Father¡¯s day.

So this is a perfect chance to let your father know what he means to you. To show your love and respect, you need not buy an expensive gift. You can send him a home ¨C made card; You can call him every day; Even you can give him a sweet smile when he comes back from work. All these little things are easy for us to so, but they can show your care and love to your father.

1.Father¡¯s Day always falls on         .

      A£®the same day every year                         B£®the last day of June

       C£®the third Sunday of June                        D£®June 16th of each year

2.Which of the following was NOT used to describe the character of Dodd¡¯s father?

       A£®Loving                 B£®Sellless.                C£®Humorous.           D£®Courageous.

3.What does the underlined word ¡°raise¡± in the fourth paragraph mean?

       A£®Ì§¸ß                    B£®ËÇÑø                    C£®ÉýÆð                    D£®ÑøÓý

4.Who declared the third Sunday of June as Father¡¯s Day?

      A£®President Coolidge.                             B£®President Johnson.
