     When John and Victoria Fails arrived in New York from London for a one-year stay, they did not bring
many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment (家具齐全的公寓) or to buy
used furniture (家具). But they soon learned that the renting (出租) of home furnishings (beds, tables, dishes,
and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing business.
     What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people:
international businessmen,government officers, airline workers, young married couples--the people whose jobs
may make them move frequently (频繁地) from one city (or country) to another. They saved the trouble and
cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home.
Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They
prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile (另一方面), they
find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
     One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, 1ike their rented furniture so much that
they decide to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But they don't like to tell people about it. The idea
of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbours might think.
