     Tom owned a small shop. He worked hard. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night
and sold many different things. Tom worked hard in his shop but he had a good business and he was happy.
     Then a supermarket opened across the street. The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom's shop.
     The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom. He found out what Tom's
prices were and then made his lower than Tom's.
     People quickly stopped buying things from Tom's shop. They bought everything from the supermarket
instead. Soon Tom's business was very bad and he was angry.
     "It's not fair," Tom thought, "I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson." The
price of steak in the supermarket was $ 5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window,"Steak—$4.50 a pound."
     The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his
window. "Steak—$4.00 a pound."
     An hour later, the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak—$3.75 a pound." Ten minutes later the sign in
Tom's window said, "Steak—$ 3.50 a pound." Five minutes later the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak—
$ 2.50 a pound." Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom's window said, "Steak—$ 1.00 a pound."
     The manager of the supermarket ran cross the street into Tom's shop. "This price cutting must stop,"
he said, "Steak is costing me $ 4.00 a pound. I'm selling it at $ 2.50 a pound. I'm losing money every minute!"
     "I'll stop cutting all my prices," Tom said, "if you will stop cutting all yours."
     The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook  hands.
     Tom smiled. He had not lost any money on the steak. He didn't sell steak at all.

阅读理解。
        To take good notes, you need to be able to do two things very quickly: first, you must understand main
topic; second, your hand must work as fast as your ears so that you can write down as much information as
possible.
        You don‘t have to learn how to write down what you hear. But you do need to practice a few simple skills
to help you to be good at note-taking. Also, you should learn how to write only the most important words in
short forms from each sentence without taking notice of the rest. 
        In the old days, people sent telegrams to each other. When they did it, they had to pay by the word, and it
was expensive. That is why they sent very short telegrams which included only the most important words.         Let’s compare these two examples:
     ●"I will be arriving tomorrow, Monday, April 15,on TWA flight number 222, at JFK airport."
     ●"Arrive 15th TWA 222 JFK"
         Which would be more expensive? 
         When you take notes, you have a similar problem. In this case it is not money, but time. For that reason,
it is a good idea to practice listening for only the most important sentences, and only the most important words
in those sentences.
根据短文内容完成下面各题。
1. To take good notes, first, you must understand main ______.

don't want to go to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me.

choose??
