     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, jewelry, food, toys and many other things.
     Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for 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
those channels.
       In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then
the government allowed more telepshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest
American teleshopping company and a 24－hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this
new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
      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. They call teleshopping "junk on the air". Many 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 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

(漂浮的) by holding a piece of wreckage (残骸) from the plane tightly fo over 13 hours. When they found

said Abdilai, jumped into the water to pull the child onto the boat.

       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!
