7．For several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone．（36）AIn a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things．
（37）Cfor example．The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made﹩100 million．In France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about﹩20 million a year to buy things through these channels．
In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1hour every day．Then the government allowed more teleshopping．Other channels can open for tele-business，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company．（38）D
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes．With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason，but at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping．（39）BMany Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV．Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV．

The first group are those people who shout on the phone，especially in enclosed places like trains or lifts．（37）CIt isn't necessary．
（38）B Some ringtones are truly unpleasant---a loud，electronic version of Beethoven with a hip hop beat，for example．This is especially annoying in the cinema．
The third group of people who annoy me are those who have to walk around while they speak．（39）F．

4．It was one of the hottest days of the dry season．We had not seen rain in almost a month．The crops were dying．Cows had stopped giving milk．The streams were long gone back into the earth．If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything．
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son，Billy，walking toward the woods．He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible．Minutes after he disappeared into the woods，he came running out again，toward the house．
Moments later，however，he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods．This activity went on for over an hour：walking cautiously to the woods，then running back to the house．Finally，my curiosity got the best of me．I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey．
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked； being very careful not to spill the water he held in them．Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them．He had a much greater purpose．As I leaned in to spy on him，I saw the most amazing site．
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him．But Billy walked right up to them．I almost screamed for him to get away．And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground，obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion，lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand．
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life．As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground，they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more．I looked up at the sky．It was as if God，Himself，was weeping with pride．
