W：Have you heard that our boss wants Nancy to accept a six-week job in Acapulco?
M：She’ll really like that，especially since all of her costs will be paid and she can practise her Spanish，too.
W：Yes，but most of all，she’ll get to spend her free time bathing in the sun on those lovely beaches.
M：When will she be leaving?
W：Since she doesn’t need a passport，it’ll probably be in about a week.
M：That doesn’t give her much time to get organized.

W：Have we done everything on the list?
M：We haven’t booked our hotel room yet，but I’ll do that by telephone tonight.

M：What time is it?It’s only twelve-thirty.I told Howard we’d meet him a little before one.
W：Oh，I’d forgotten about Howard.Do we have to have lunch with him?
M：You said you wouldn’t mind.He won’t be in town more than a day or two，and I want him to meet you.Besides，I think you’ll like him.

Well，I manage a small branch of a large supermarket，and we lose a lot of money through shoplifting.I have to try to prevent it，or else I’ll lose all my profits.A lot of shopliftings are done by teenagers in groups.They do it for fun.They’re not frightened so we have to make it difficult for them.Obviously a supermarket can’t have chains or alarms on the goods.So we have store detectives，who walk around the shop like ordinary shoppers，otherwise they’ll be recognized.We have big signs up，saying “Shoplifters will be punished”，but that doesn’t help much.We’ve started putting cash desks at all the exits to prevent the stoplifters walking straight out with things.Of course，that worries the ordinary shopper who hasn’t found what he wanted.We also use closed-circuit television，but that’s expensive.In fact，all good methods of prevention are quite expensive，and naturally，they make our prices more expensive.But it has to be done，otherwise shoplifting itself will make all the prices much higher，and the public doesn’t want that!

Few people would ever think of beginning a new job at the age of 76，but one of the America’s most famous artists did just that.Anna Mary Robertson，better known as “Grandma Moses”，turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice.She first painted only to please herself，and then began to sell her works for a little money.In 1939，a collector，Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses’ works hanging in a shop.He liked them，bought them at once，and set out to look for more.Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.Grandma Moses died on December 13，1961，at the age of 101.She was world-famous.
