A poor boy became a rich and famous singer. He married and had two sons and two daughters. One day he said to his wife, "Our children mustn't have a hard life as we had. We must help them more than our parents helped us. "The wife agreed. So the parents sent their children to fine schools. They enjoy playing expensive things. They were given everything in life except this: they were not taught how to work. Later the parents bought businesses(商行)for their children. The sons, at 21, became the owners of banks. The girls were given shops. But soon all these businesses failed, because the young owners knew nothing of business or of work. The man said to his wife, "Where did we do wrong?"

FILM TIMES (19th May-26th May)

My holiday is coming. Yesterday I asked my American friends about the best way to travel with in the United States. They said it was best to go by   31   and gave me the   32  . To fly, of course, is the fastest way, but one can't see anything during a   33  except the blue sky and white clouds. So it is not very interesting to one who wants to see the  34  . Besides, airfare is very  35  .

To travel by train is   36   , because passengers can walk and buy food and drinks on a train. They can also see cities and the country through the windows. But trains don't leave or  37  at a place every day, and don't go to many cities.

To travel by bus, my friends tell me, is easy, cheap and convenient, though not so fast as traveling by plane or so     38    by train. You can find buses almost in every city, big or small. That makes travel arrangement easy.

I take their  39  . Now I have decided to go to the east coast with an interesting    40  by bus.
