4．Some people will do just about anything to save money．And I am one of them．Take my family's last vacation．It was my six-year-old son's winter break form school，and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip．The flight was overbooked，and Delta，the airline，offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day．I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back．But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay．I took my nine-month-old and took off for home．
The next day，my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight．Yes，I encouraged-okay，ordered-them to waititoutattheairport，to"earn"moreDeltaDollars．Our total take：1，600．Not bad，huh？
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either．But as a big-time bargain hunter，I know the value of a dollar．And these days，a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up．
I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing（揭露）the worst tricks．I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade．I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade：A Consumer Survival Guide．And I really do what I believe in．
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth．I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes，clothes for my children，and expensive restaurants．But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut．It keeps its shape longer，and it's the first thing people notice．And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture．Quality lasts．

3．"Indeed，"George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785，"some kind of fly，or bug，had begun to eat the leaves before I left home．"But the father of America was not the father of bug．When Washington wrote that，Englishmen hade been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century，and Americans had already created lightning-bug（萤火虫）．But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language，leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries．
The American bug could also be a person，referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity．Although fan became the usual term，sports fans used to be called racing bugs，baseball bugs，and the like．
Or the bug could be a small machine or object，for example，a bug-shaped car．The bug could also be a burglar alarm，from which comes the expression to bug，that is，"to install （安装） an alarm"．Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others'conversation．Since the 1840s，to bug has long meant"to cheat"，and since the 1940s it has been annoying．
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design．That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison．In 1878he explained bugs as"little problems and difficulties"that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product．In 1889it was recorded that Edison"had been up the two previous nights discovering‘a bug'in his invented record player．"

2．In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．
At the same time，the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．
Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．
Today the"Fringe"，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21days it lasts．And years early as 1959，with only 19theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big．
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself．In 2004there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600different groups from 50different countries．More than 1，25 million tickets were sold．
