   People have been skiing since 3000 BC, but the birth of modern skiing --- for pleasure rather than necessity --- only began in the late 19th century.  Since then, winter’s top sport has become an industry.  European countries, especially those along the Alps are famous for their skiing spots.  Norway, France and Switzerland are good choices.  There you can enjoy plenty of exercise among the mountainous forests while breathing in the fresh air.  Within a couple of lessons, you will be gliding through the trees in style.

   In a zoo without bars, safaris are adventure in its purest form.  Out on safari, it is the animals who rule the land.  From jeeps, you can see the struggles of life and death in a variety of wildlife, such as elephants, lions, birds and snakes.

   The national parks in Africa are the perfect places for safaris.

At first it all seems rather easy as you drift along with the water only occasionally reaching over the sides of your raft.  And then suddenly, you realize why they call it white-water rafting. 

First comes the dull, distant roar of rapids, then a wash of white water and finally the roller-coaster ride that turns you at top speed down the river.  The Bio-Bio River in Chile and the Colorado River in the US are among the finest white-water destinations.

Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.” (词数268)

Do you know what it means when somebody tells you that he had “a catch-22 experience”?

The phrase “catch-22” comes from a book of the same title by the American writer Joseph Heller published in 1961.Catch-22 is a book of black humor.The author uses silly and even surreal(超现实的)events.It has a non-linear narrative structure(非线性的叙述结构)in which events follow the theme rather than the timing,to give us a very strange picture full of contradictions(矛盾).

The story takes places in a bomber base in Italy during World WarⅡ.The main character, Captain Yossarian wants to leave the war.Unfortunately, every time he completes the number of tasks to be sent home,the number is raised and he is forced to continue fighting.It seems hopeless for him to go home under the very strange rule in this Air Force-catch-22:only when a soldier goes crazy can he be allowed to go home.But he has to go to the hospital to show the doctors that he is crazy.However, if he tells them he is crazy but is obvious healthy, he cannot go home.In short,catch-22 is“heads 1 wintails I loseIf you can you can’tand if you can’tyou can”Whenever you try to behave correctly in a crazy world.There’s a catch(潜在的困难).

During the Vietnam War, the phrase“catch-22”became a popular term for being caught in a no.win,circular dilemma and is now commonly used.
