  Bargaining is the rule here in Beijing.At least,it is so in most markets and back-street clothes shops.Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar(不熟悉) with it,we'd like to offer you some advice.The tips(窍门) here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced.

  DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item(物品) unless it's near the end of the bargaining.Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.

  DO throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.

  DO keep smiling from the beginning to the end.The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face.Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.

  KEEP in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price.It can be up to 500% over.

  DO have an idea of what the item costs.You can ask your friends,people in the hc)tel or others you know,or look at the list below.This is very general and is based(根据) on a market like Xiu Shui.You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui,especially on a weekend when there are lots of tourists around.

  A man lived in a tall building in the city of Moscow. He liked living there. It was usually very quiet, and he could see the park from his window. There was only one problem: the man upstairs. Every night, the man upstairs came back late. He always took off his shoes and threw them on the floor. At this time, the man downstairs was trying to sleep. But every night he heard the noise upstairs. Bang! One shoe. Bang! The other shoe. It was too bad. He found it very difficult to get to sleep and he was rather angry with the man upstairs. One day, the man downstairs went to talk to the man. He went upstairs and knocked at the door. The man opened it. With a smile the man from downstairs said: "I' m sorry to trouble you. "

  "What is it?" asked the man.

  "Well, every time you get back at night, you drop your shoes on the floor. It happens every night. The noise wakes me up. Would you please not do this?"

  "I'm very sorry," said the man. "I won't do it again. "

  The next evening the man upstairs came home from work late as usual. He was feeling very tired. He took off the first shoe and threw it on the floor. The he remembered the man down stairs.

  So he took off the second shoe and put it under his bed very quietly. He had his supper, listened to the radio, read a newspaper and then went to bed. He was just falling asleep when there was a loud knock at the door. He opened it and saw the man from downstairs.

  "Please!" said the man from downstairs. "Please drop the other shoe! I was waiting for the sound of the other shoe! I can't get to sleep!"

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

   Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.

  From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

  The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

  Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room.

  On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.

On Nov.18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to use the box to change the weight of the balloon. The three people were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.

  At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were very cold and  they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometres from London!
