　　The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage knew little about her．The streets where they found her had been her home for many years．Her parents were unknown．They left her long ago．At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write．While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else－to be independent．At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary．And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened．She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it．This was the turning point in her life．Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody．

　　Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something．Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life．This led her first into television and then into business as a manager．When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports．“My English just wasn't good enough,”she says．luckily, she had a boyfriend(who later became her husband)to help her．

　　Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980．She started her own business in 1995．But she did not stop developing herself．She then studied at the University of Hong Kong．Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography．She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris．She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family．

　　The girl who wandered the streets has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet．

　　An office meeting starts at 10 a. m．Hans, a German, is already waiting at 9∶55．Na-than, an American, arrives right at 10 o'clock．In the next five minutes a few others hurry in．But Raul, the visitor from Brazil, walks in at 10∶30．He doesn't even think he' s late．

　　How different the understanding of time is around the world! Germans like arriving early．Americans plan to arrive just on time．Brazilians think it OK to be half an hour late．

　　In 1884, a clock in Greenwich, England, set the standard(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的)time around the world, which is known as GMT(Greenwich Mean Time)．But it couldn't standardize(使標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化)when people will arrive for a 10 a.m. meeting．

　　As people have different understanding of time, all cultures(文化)can be put into one of the two groups：time-oriented(導(dǎo)向的)and event-oriented．Time goes first in time-oriented culture．In event-oriented culture, what happens is more important than when．Such knowledge is important for today's world travelers．

　　Not understanding these different ideas about time can sometimes bring trouble．For example, American students often quickly exchange “how are you?”and “fine”as they rush to make class on time．But event-oriented students see this exchange as impolite．Before they can say anything more than “fine”, the American student has already hurried past them．

　　What can the world traveler do to avoid(避免)such time related trouble? Follow the age-old rule：When in Rome, do as the Romans do．

　　Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia．Linda has promised(答應(yīng))her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely．This is something she had done ever since she was a child．David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little．

　　“If there were an accident．”He says,“they'd know soon enough．Bad news travels fast．”But Linda has promised that she would ring．“However,”she says,“it doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world．It's only six pence per second(每秒六便士)．”

　　“If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat,”David says, “And one minute's nearly four pounds．”

　　“That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat,”Linda answers．

　　She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number．The telephone rings．Linda picks it up．

　　“Hello, Mum．Is that you?”She says．

　　“Six pence per second,”David reminds(提醒)her．

　　“Hello．”It is Mrs Lee, Linda's mother, speaking from London．“I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room．It's a better line than when you called me from your office．Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn't hear me sometimes．”

　　“Yes, Mum．”Linda puts in．“I just wanted to ring to…”

　　“I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat, when you were a little girl．And then when you…”Mrs Lee is a great talker．

　　“Nearly four pounds．”says David．

　　Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye．

　　“Yes, all right,”says Mrs Lee,“But you will write, won't you, as you did when you were at work…”

　　Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the past, and there is nobody stopping her．

　　“Four pounds fifty,”says David．

　　At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off．

　　“There! That wasn't long, was it?”

　　“Four pounds, ninety pence．”David answers．“And you didn't even say that we've arrived．”

　　Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars are produced．One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas．American won't live without cars!

　　Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be like without a car．However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars．The polluted air is poisonous(有毒的)and dangerous to health．

　　One wav to get rid of(排除)the polluted air is to build a new kind of car．That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do．But to build a clean car is easier said than done．Progress in this field has been slow．

　　Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else．Engineers are now working on some new cars．Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man．

　　To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live．Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their cars．They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike．Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean．

　　But this change does not come easily－a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down．And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失業(yè))．

　　Although cars have brought us a better life, they have also brought us new problems．

　　If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of observing(觀察)and knowing about birds．

　　Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June．Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, mothers often leave and come back to the nest during the time to look for food．So it is good to observe birds．When we observe birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars(雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡)．

　　But how to make a bird nest?It’s very easy．If you want to make one, please follow these：

　　Making a nest：A good nest must be very fine, strong, thick and easy．

　　a)Each nest must have six boards．Don’t make the boards too slippery．

　　b)Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a door．The “door” is from 3cm to 5cm．So the bird can fly in or out easily．

　　c)Make sure the rainwater doesn’t go into the nest．

　　d)One piece of the boards should be easy to open．

　　e)Please don’t forget to color the nest．

　　Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on the earth．But when you use the phone, you don’t see the person you are talking with．This may change in the near future．

　　Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone．With it, two people who are talking can see each other．

　　Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show to the person you’re calling．They may have other uses in the future．One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book．Then you’ll be able to read the book right over your picture phone．Or you may be able to go shopping through your picture phone．If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you’ll go to your phone and call the shop．People at the shop will show you the thing you’re interested in right over the phone．You’ll be able to shop all over town and never even leave your room!
