2．Tom's teacher Dwyer liked helping others and he had done that for many years.Tom wanted to follow his example，but he found it was too tiring.One day，Tom went to see Dwyer.They sat quietly in Dwyer's old house，cutting wood with their knives in front of the fireplace.Tom finally spoke up.
"I don't know how you do it，" he said.
"Do what？" asked Dwyer.
"I don't know how you stay motivated（积极的）to help people after so many years.I feel like giving up and I've hardly started."
Dwyer smiled and replied， "Can you blow out that candle for me？"Tom did as he was asked.
"Now can you blow out this fire？" Dwyer asked.
"Don't be silly，" Tom replied."Of course I can't."
Dwyer put down his knife and his piece of wood and looked in the eye of Tom.He said ， " When your motivation is as small as the candle's flame（火焰），it's easy to be extinguished，but when it is a fire you see before you，nothing can blow it out."

3．ㅤGE Money has recently done a study.It shows that women spend over 8 years of their life shopping.According to the study，women spend about 400 hours each year shopping.Almost a quarter of that time is spent doing some shopping for food.
ㅤLuckily，Million Looks magazine says that shopping can be a good thing，and it gives some interesting facts about women and shopping.The magazine says that women who shop for more than 17 hours a week are thinner and healthier than those who spend less time shopping.The magazine also says that women who shop more often look and feel much younger than those who dislike shopping.Finally，it says that most women who enjoy shopping are more confident and happier.

ㅤThe shopping malls also try their best to encourage people to spend as much as possible，and stay in the mall as long as possible.Escalators are placed in so that people can use them to pass many different stores.You may have also noticed that places to sit arc hard to find in malls.This is because people can't spend money when they are sitting!

4．ㅤTo us，it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But in fact，the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.Its first use was as a shade（遮蔽）against the sun.
ㅤNobody knows who first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese，back in the eleventh century BC.
ㅤWe know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use：it became a symbol of honor and power（权力）.In the Far East in ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal（皇室的）people such as the kings or queens.
ㅤIn Europe，the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece，but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the middle ages in Europe，the use of the umbrella almost disappeared.Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century.And again，it became a symbol of power.
ㅤUmbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time，though they have become much lighter in weight.It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.
