Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.

Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.

Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（馬來語）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.

A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

    Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.    

Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.      

    Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save.     . Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment(投資). However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.

     .Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill.   . If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers choose to use the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

       A．A carefully planned list should include in – season produce and any items on sale or

discounted through coupons (優(yōu)惠券).

       B．Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist the temptation

to buy additional items.

       C．People who are full are less tired and more likely to buy what they want.

       D．Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it’s time to leave for the store.

       E．You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons.

       F． Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry.

G．Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.
