It happened in 1994.One afternoon, I was walking down the street when I saw my fathers new car. I expected(期望) to see my father in the drivers seat. But to my surprise, I saw a young woman driving instead, “She has stolen my fathers car,” I thought. So I quickly stopped a taxi and got in. I said to the driver, “Follow that new car in front,” I told him why.The taxi driver had a car phone, so I asked him to call the police. Soon we heard the sound of a police car. The police told the woman to stop the car using a loudspeaker. The taxi came to a stop, too. I got out right then and said to the woman, “This is not your car. Its my fathers car.”The woman smiled and said, “Oh. Youre Mr. Johnsons son, right? Ive seen your photo in your fathers office.”Before I could say one word, the woman explained that she was my fathers new assistant（助手）. My father had asked her to take his computer to the shop to have it repaired. He lent her his car. After hearing this, I called my father and he told us what the woman said was right.

Ask to receive it the next day! Each day, more and more people try on-line shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surprised to hear this. They think, I dont need to drive, and the business doesnt need to build a store, so there will be less pollution, says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist. But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by33percent between 1986 and 1997.Online shopping could have similarly harmful results, says Nevil Cohen, a researcher of environmental science. Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy pro ducts such as televisions, computers, chairs and tables. These products need to be packed in lots of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask to receive them the next day, online businesses often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane. Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are wrong size. This doubles the packing materials and number of airline trips required to sell one pair of shoes.If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop, says Prost. People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait? Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. Online shopping is fast and easy, says Prost, but we cant forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment.（1）The passage begins with several questions to .

As usual, he picked up the tins. My manager was standing there to watch me. He asked the tin man what he was going to do with those tins. I never thought about this question, because I always thought that hed sell those tins for money.The tin man answered, I will give these tins to my neighbour. He is ill and he cannot work. I was so surprised to hear that, so I asked him, You collect all those tins just to help your neighbour? I know this does not help much, he said. But I will try my best to help him.At that time, I found myself standing in front of a great man.
