One weekend, all of the hotels in Green City were full because there was a large meeting. Mr. Black was the manager of a   1   in the city. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for   2   . Mr. Black said there were   3   rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

Mr. Black wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was   4  . He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. Black said the room would be thirty dollars,   5   for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

Mr. Black soon began to feel sorry, so he called his assistant over, gave him five dollars and said, “  6   the money to those three men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.”

The assistant took the money. While he was   7   the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I will give them each one dollar and keep two dollars for   8   . The men will be   9   to get something back. And Mr. Black will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

The next morning, the three men went to thank manager before they left. They said, “Thank you for   10   us three dollars back.” Mr. Black was surprised but he said nothing. After the three men left, Mr. Black called the assistant to his office and said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think you can stay here any more.”

For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective  “fashionable” in the same way, “She was wearing a fashionable coat.” “His shirt was really a fashionable color.”  

But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.

　　Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1790 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.  

　　Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.

　　New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

Do television advertisements（廣告）make kids eat unhealthy food? Some scientists say “Yes.” They have done a study and found that food advertisements change what kids eats. Television advertisements often encourage kids to eat food that are bad for them. These foods can make kids become very fat. This is a growing problem for kids across America.

3An America kid sees about 40,000 advertisements a year. That’s almost 110 advertisements a day! They show drinks, cookies, candies and fast food. They often make kids want to eat more of these unhealthy foods. As a result many kids are overweight.

To attract kids, advertisements sometimes use popular movie or cartoon stars. Many of these advertisements don’t tell kids what the foods are made of. 4As a result, many kids may think that the foods they are eating are good for them.

What should kids do to keep a healthy life? Scientists say kids should talk with their parents and doctors to make sure whether they are eating healthy foods. Doctors also say that exercise is very important. So maybe overweight kids should watch less TV and do more exercise.
