He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. Most people don39。t seen to mind Allan, says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. He39。s my fourth child, she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog.Birgitta and Allan live in Swede, a county where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides (提供) a high level of care for its people.

The big question is why./When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: We have to go to work now, you39。re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the work they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre./America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect (影響) American society in many ways education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior (行為) is suitable (合適) at various ages.2．說明的方法(1) 舉例As prices and building costs keep rising, the doityourself (DIY) trend (趨勢) in the U. S. continues to grow.We needed furniture (家具) for our living room, says John Ross, and we just didn39。t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.

They say that people today are less honest than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an ageold human problem.
