     For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now
teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop
for clothes, food, toys, and many other things.
     Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden (瑞典).The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of
things on TV in fifteen European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two
teleshopping channels (频道), and the French spend about $20 million a year buying things through those
channels.
      In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then
the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness. German businesses
are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
     Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do 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. They call teleshopping "junk (劣质货) on the air". Many Europeans usually
worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV.
     The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the
American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will
also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

     On June 30, 2009, a Yemenia airplane from Paris to Comoros, Africa, crashed into the Indian Ocean.
There were 153 people on the plane, including some French officials. Though people have been searching
since the plane went down, the result looked unpleasant, for most of the passengers might be in bad luck.

(漂浮的) by holding a piece of wreckage (残骸) from the plane tightly fo over 13 hours. When they found
her, the girl was too weak to catch he lifebuoy (救生圈) thrown to her, instead, a Comoran police officer,
said Abdilai, jumped into the water to pull the child onto the boat.
     Bahia Bakari was injured, especially her collarbone (锁骨) her father was pleased to see his daughter
although his wife had gone away in this tragedy. He said that his daughter could hardly swim. It was really
a miracle for her to escape in this way. In her daddy's warm arms, the girl could soon remember what she

       Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water
into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
        In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of
heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea
water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
        But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is
freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes (冷至结冰) first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. 
        Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way
for each place.
        Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn't make very much water at a time. But the
factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi!
