　　We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country．This process(變化過(guò)程)helps you deal with culture shock(文化沖擊)．

　　Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period"．This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting．You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food．This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy．

　　Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t．After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on．Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country．This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly．

　　The third period is called the "adjustment(調(diào)整)period"．This is When you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country．Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place．Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor(善于求生者)．

　　The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last"．Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place．You can deal with most problems that you have．You may still have prob1ems with language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them．At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland．

　　People can find jobs in many ways．Sometimes you can find a job easily, by walking into a local store and looking at its notice board(布告欄)．Local stores often have areas for people to put small signs telling the services that they need or they can provide．Such services include looking after children or cleaning houses．

　　Another popular tool for finding a job is the Internet．For example, people around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy things, meet people or find a job．It is said that the site can receive two million new jobs each month．

　　Another useful way to find a job is through a university．For example, students at the University of Texas can go to the job center to get help．Many college students like this way better．

　　At times, some experts(專業(yè)人士)can also help people find a job．Susan Miller has her own company called California Job Services in Los Angeles．She says her company helps people find a job by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests．Then she provides them with methods to help them find the right job．So with her help, many people have succeeded in finding a good job．

　　Imagine the situation．You are driving along a desert or on a mountain．You have no idea where you are．You passed the last house two hours ago．Then your car breaks down．It is night and it is cold．You have no mobile phone．What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you．This invention may be able to help you．It is a device(裝置)which uses satellites(衛(wèi)星)to find the user's position(位置)．It can find your position to within 20 metres．A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are．

　　GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver．It looks like a mobile phone．You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket．It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone．We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats．Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are．For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street．

　　There are three parts to the Global Positioning System．The first part is the receiver．You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc．The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth．The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(計(jì)算)its position．The third part of the system is a network of ground stations．They are all over the world．They control the satellites and make sure they are working well．

　　Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile．They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精確的)．There are also new uses for the GPS．Perhaps they will become like watches．Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again．

　　“What is success?” Mr Gruber asked his 6^th grade business class．It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term．

　　“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms．” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students．

　　Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head．“Tom, that is excess(過(guò)量)．That is not success．”

　　“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer．

　　“Now we're getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want．”

　　“Getting everything you want．” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs．

　　Mr Gruber sighed．“ I believe we've already talked about excess versus(與…比較)success．”

　　“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud．

　　“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped．“Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want．The more you get that you want, the more successful you are．You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though．”

　　“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked．It seemed if it wasn't funny, he wasn't happy．

　　“Well, Tom, think of it this way： the point of business is to make a living to support your family．Once you have properly seen to(確保)their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want．”

　　“What if I don't have a family?” he continued to be difficult．

　　“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one．”

　　“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom's friend, shouted out．

　　“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl．” Mr．Gruber corrected himself．

　　Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer．

　　“So in the next nine weeks, we're going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards．”

　　Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly．“When do we get to start spending?”

　　“You already are, Tom．You're spending time with us!” Mr．Gruber laughed．“Now, let's see what you guys know about credit cards…”

　　“My dear lady,” says Holmes．“You're shivering．Are you old? Do you want a cup of hot tea?”

　　“I'm not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”

　　“We are here to help you．Don't worry about anything．I don't know you．But I know many things about you．For example, I know how you travel．You came to London by train．You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(馬車)．”

　　“Why, yes．You're right．But how do you know these things?”

　　“ I see a return ticket in your glove．I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress．Now tell us your problem．”

　　“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead．I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott．He comes from a rich family．But they are no longer rich．They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house．We are living in the house．Dr Roylott is using my mother's money for expenses(開(kāi)支)．Part of it was for my sister and me．It was for our marriages．”

　　Holmes is sitting in his chair．His eyes are closed．He is listening carefully to Helen's story．He hears every detail．

　　Helen continues．“My stepfather has no friends．He fights with everyone．He is strong and gets angry quickly．Everyone is afraid of him．”

　　“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes．

　　“No．He talks to no one except the gypsies．They are poor people who travel from place to place．A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now．”

　　“Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?”

　　“My dear Mr Holmes．You are making me so sad．My sister is dead．That is why I am standing here in this room．”

　　Televisions were among the most talked-about things at CES 2013-he 2013 International Consumer Electronic Show(國(guó)際消費(fèi)類電子產(chǎn)品展銷會(huì))last week in Las Vegas, Nevada．They were bigger and better with some of the highest technology(技術(shù))．Some TVs used a new technology called OLED．They were bigger, thinner and lighter, offered better colour and were brighter than traditional TVs using LED．

　　On February 9^th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris．She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man．Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives．

　　Sarah didn't realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning．She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy．The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring．The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had．

　　Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man．So on February 18^th, he set up a special page to raise money for him．In just four days, Billy received over ＄85, 000 and there seems to be no end yet．

　　That is not enough．Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets．And that's not all-Thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years．

　　All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing-returning something that did not belong to him．
