City people are always busy.They are always in a hurry.That’s why they like supermarkets.You can buy things easily and quickly in a supermarket.If you want something.you just put it in your cart(手推车).You don’t ask “How much does it cost?”The price is on all the cans and packages.
Then you take your cart to a checkout counter(收银台).The customers(顾客) in a supermarket do not usually talk to anyone，and they never bargain(讨价还价) over the prices.They just pay their money and leave. People do not usually spend much time in a supermarket，but they often spend a lot of money there.
In many parts of the world， shopping is very different from this. People spend a lot of time at the market，but they don’t spend much money there.
In a market in the Middle East，for example， people meet their friends and talk together.They look at the things very carefully， and they bargain over the prices. “What?”they say. “That’s too much. I can’t pay the price!”It is like a game.The customers and the market people enjoy it.Shopping in this kind of market is often slow，but it can be fun.

President(总统) George W Bush(乔治布什) is visiting an elementary school(小学) today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(讨论) words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word “tragedy”.
One little boy stands up and says， “If my best friends， who lives next door， is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over， that would be a tragedy.”“No，” says Bush， “that would be an accident.”
A little girl puts up her hand， “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(悬崖)，killing everyone in the bus， that would be a tragedy.”
“I am afraid not，” explains the President. “That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(损失).”
The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the room. “Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tradedy?”
At last， in the back of the room， a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says， “If Air Force One， carrying you and Mrs. Bush， was hit by a missile(导弹) and blown up to pieces， that would be a tragedy.”
