Mr. Brown worked in a factory of a small town. He had been there for twenty years before one day he was sent to the capital for important business. He was quite excited because he had never been there before. Before he set off, he asked his wife and three daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in Lon-don. Mrs. Brown began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. To his regret, he lost it at the station.
On the train Mr. Brown sat opposite to an old woman. The woman’s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the station in London, he said good-bye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.
“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “That’s my umbrella!”
Now Mr. Brown noticed that he had taken her umbrella. His face turned red at once and said in a hurry,“Oh, I’m very sorry, Madam! I didn’t mean it!”
Seven days later Mr. Brown left the capital. To his surprise, he met the old woman and sat opposite to her again. Looking at the four umbrellas, the old woman was satisfied with herself. “It seems that I had a better result than the other four women.” She thought.

My bicycle went wrong again. Tired with repairing it again and again, I decide to buy a new one. After school, I went to a shop locating in the center of the city with a friend called Jack. The black bicycle attracted my eyes as soon as we went into the store. It looked such cool that I could hardly wait to ride it. The shopkeeper told us that it is the latest bicycle. He wanted to charge me 800 yuan, that was too high for me. I just couldn’t afford for such an expensive one. Then I chose another one, which cost him only 200 yuan. It was not perfect, it was much better than the old one.

John Davis doesn’t use his GPS system in his car. Instead of guiding the direction, the Delaware farmer uses it to determine where and how much fertilizer to use on the crops on his 4,000-acre family-owned farm. Technological advances like that last year helped Davis and other Ohio farmers set a record for corn product. Ohio's corn crop in 2009 totaled 546 million bushels(蒲式耳), despite a cooler and wetter than normal spring, a dry summer and a delayed, wet harvest. Davis said. “I knew it would be a good crop, but it was much better than we expected.”

A farmer can map his fields on GPS, spotting where soil turned out to be least fertile（肥沃的） and using more fertilizer the next year in those areas where corn didn’t grow as well.

Although Ohio farmers produced more corn, it was grown on less land than in the past years. Total area used for corn in Ohio was 3.35 million acres, about the same as in 2008 but down from 3.85 million acres in 2007, said Dwayne Siekman, director of the Ohio Corn Growers Association. “When you look at the total number of acres in Ohio used for corn, it’s clear that farmers are able to do more with less,” he said. “American farmers can grow five times more corn on 20 percent less land than they did in the 1930s, saying that modern farming techniques are necessary for a growing demand in the world today.” That technology includes using improved seeds that can withstand(忍受) greater temperature extremes and pests, Siekman said.

Farmers aren't the only ones who benefit. Consumers(消费者) do, too, as food costs reduce in the face of “enough supplies of corn,” said Fred Yoder, who runs a 1,500-acre corn, soybean and wheat farm in Plain City. “This is the best, highest-producing corn crop that I've raised in 30 years,” he said.

Recently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My home is on the Big Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I 36 my car and was about to drive off, I

37 at the roadside. A piece of paper 38 my eye. I picked it up and read it 39 . Instantly, I was grateful that I had done that.

The form turned out to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’ 40 of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly, I put myself in their shoes and __41 : no one would throw this away, especially 42 it was current. I also looked over the form for contact or any personal 43 , perhaps a license tag or telephone number. But that seemed __44 . The form had been blown by the wind, so 45 would I find the owners? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date and 46 the names of the owners , who must 47 in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in a（n） 48 addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined that if I had posted the receipt to a wrong 49 , how frantic（慌乱的）I’d be. But it was much __50_ to attempt to return it than to leave them angry, upset , etc. over the 51 , so I did as I thought. My hunch（预感） was right. On the weekend, a happy couple 52 my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked（恐慌）and 53 the receipt madly everywhere before giving up. Without it they would have to 54 another 8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing 55 that at first glance seemed minor.
