Most people think that the best store is one with very expensive goods. It’s 【1】 great if you have a pocket full of money and can buy something in one. How wonderful to be able to come home with an expensive computer, a latest iPod or a designer dress!

But have you ever heard of “dollar stores”? As the name 【2】, in dollar stores everything costs a dollar or less. You find them in the US and many other western countries. In dollar stores there is a 【3】 variety（品種）and everything is affordable.

If you go into a clothes shop you find clothes. If you go into a car showroom you see cars. But in a dollar store who knows what you will find? Visiting a dollar store is like going on a treasure hunt（尋寶）. There’ll be pots and pans for the kitchen, books, clothes, toys—and a thousand other things you never 【4】! There’s always a 【5】 in a dollar store.

Why are dollar stores so cheap? It’s because they’re full of stock that hasn’t sold in other stores. Clothes that were last year’s fashion; books that won’t sell; inventions for the kitchen that didn’t catch on. You may find that you don’t want these either. But, even if you don’t want to buy, they are great places to look around—rather like 【6】. And remember, nothing costs more than a dollar!

Most of the class considered turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the 2 of most of her students' art. And they were. But in her class there was a different kind of boy, Douglas. He was always unhappy. When other children played together, he was likely to stand close by the teacher's side. The boy drew a hand in his picture. 3 else. Just an empty hand.
Whose hand 4 it be? His abstract (抽象的) picture made classmates really 5. One child guessed it was the hand of the6, because they raise turkeys. Another suggested police officers, because the police 7 and care for people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went — 8 the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.
When the children went on to other projects, she 9 at Douglas' desk, bent down, and asked him 10 hand it was. The little boy looked away and said in a low voice, "It's 11, teacher."
The teacher recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, "12 my hand, Douglas, we'll go outside." Or, "Let me 13 you how to hold your pencil." Or, "Let's do this together." Douglas was most thankful for his teacher's hand.
Hearing the boy's words, tears ran down the teacher's face. She brushed aside a tear and went on with her work.
The story speaks of 14 than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship. They might not always say 15, but they'll remember the hand that reaches out.

Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition(眼睛識(shí)別) programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.

Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint(指紋). But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
