Ⅷ： In the days when an ice cream sundae(加水果或奶油的较贵的)cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress (woman assistant) put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” “Fifty cents”, replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he asked. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit worried. “Thirty-five cents,” she said rudely(not politely). The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the bill at the counter(柜台)and went out. When the waitress came back, she began cleaning the table and then she couldn’t believe what she had seen. There, placed nearly beside the empty dish, were two five-cent coins and five one-cent coins---her tip(小费).

Ⅶ：You have heard of Webster Toys. Webster has made good, safe and interesting toys for more than a hundred years. We sell them, and children play with them in different countries from Australia to Canada, from Japan to Italy. Now we are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East(远东地区). He must be between the age of thirty and forty. He must have some years of experience of selling toys in world markets. He can speak good English and at least one other language of the Far East.

The person we are looking for will live in India and work there in our office, but he will travel for about six months in a year in other countries and above all, he must know how to sell in our old markets and where to find new ones. He must know how to make more money than ever before, for himself, and for Webster.

Webster wants someone who can stand on his own feet. If you think you are the right person we are looking for, please write to Mr Roger Bradshaw at our headquar­ters (总部) .
