IF and WHEN were friends. Every week they met and their conversation usually centered on all the things they were going to achieve. This particular Saturday when they met, WHEN sensed that IF was not in a great mood. WHEN questioned IF, “What’s wrong with you? You don't seem your usual cheery self?” IF looked at WHEN and replied, “I just don't feel I am making any progress. Last week I saw a course and wanted to take if only I had the time to take it.” WHEN knew exactly how IF felt. “I too saw a course and I am going to register when I get enough money.” said WHEN, “What about that new job you were going to apply for? You were so excited about it last week.” IF responded, “If my computer didn't break down last week, I would have applied. So I could not type my resume.”
“Don't worry about it.When you are ready another job will come through. I have been thinking about looking for another job too, but I will wait and when the weather gets nicer I will look then.” WHEN then went on to tell IF about his week, hoping that it would cheer him up a bit.
The man at the next table couldn't help overhearing WHEN and IF. “Excuse me gentlemen,” the man said. Surprised, IF and WHEN both looked at the man. The man continued, “I'm sorry, but I couldn't help hearing your conversation. I think I know how you could solve your problems.” Curious, IF asked the gentleman, “How do you think you can solve our problems?” The gentleman smiled and said, “You only need to listen to yourselves. It reminds me of an old proverb: 'If and When were planted, and Nothing grew'.” The gentleman went on, “Just start doing, take action, and stop talking about 'if and when'.” IF and WHEN suddenly realized that what the gentleman had said was so true. Both of them were guilty of thinking and living their life for the "ifs and whens". The gentleman left and their conversation changed. They made up their mind that when they met for lunch next week, there would be no "ifs and whens"; they would only talk about what they accomplished! Soon another week came.

My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wear and we left our house a little late．By the time we got to the theater, the first act had already begun．We were sorry we missed part of the play, because the rest of it was very funny．The newspaper had been right．It was very good．
After the play was over, we met some friends we hadn’t seen for a long time．They wanted to go to a night club．It had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing, but I finally agreed．By the time we got home, it was about two o’clock in the morning．I’m got used to staying out so late and I was extremely tired．

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest cities of the world．It is also one of the world’s most modern cities．Twice this century, the city was destroyed and rebuilt．In 1923, a major earthquake struck the city．Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings collapsed and fires broke out throughout Tokyo．It took seven years to rebuild the city．During World War Ⅱ, Tokyo was destroyed once again．As a result of these disasters there is nothing old Tokyo remaining in the downtown area．
After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city．Buildings went up at a fantastic rate, and between 1945 and 1960, the city’s population is more than doubled．Because of the Olympic games held in Tokyo in 1964, many new stadiums, parks, and hotels were built to accommodate visitors from all over the world．As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen．Housing shortage, pollution, and waste disposal have presented serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun programs to answer them．
