让每个人平等地提升自我
The
touch-screen
devices
（
触
摸
屏装
置
）
are
on
show at
the
Food
Marketing
Institute’s exhibition here this week.
“These devices are able to create value
and
get
you
around
the
store
quicker,”
said
Michael
Alexander,
manager
of
Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which
makes a smart cart computer called the
Concierge.
Canadian stores
will test the Concierge in July. A similar device,
IBM’s
“Shopping
Buddy”,
has
recently
been
test
-marketed
at
Stop
&
Shop
stores
in
Massachusetts.
Neither
device tells you how many fat grams or calories
are in your cart, but
they will flash
you with items on sale. The idea is to make it
easier for people
to
buy,
not
to
have
second
thoughts
that
maybe
you
should
put
something
back
on
the
shelf.
“The
whole
model
is
driven
by
advertisers’
need
to
get
in
front
of
shoppers,”
said Alexander.
“They’re not watching
30
-
second TV ads
anymore.”
People
can
use
a
home
computer
to
make
their
shopping
lists.
Once
at
the
store,
a
shopper
can
use
a
preferred
customer
card
to
start
a
system
（系统）
that
will
organize
the
trip around the store. If you’re looking for
toothpicks, you type in the word
or
pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the
screen showing where you are
and where
you can find them.
The
device
also
keeps
a
record
of
what
you
buy.
When
you’re
finished,
the
device
figures
out
your
bill.
Then
you
go
to
the
checker
or
place
your
card
into
a
self-checkout stand and pay.
The new computerized
shopping assistants don’t come cheap. The Buddy
devices
will
cost
the
average
store
about
$$
160,000,
and
the
Concierge
will
cost
stores
about
$$ 500 for each device.

“they” （

Compassion
（同情）
is a desire within us to help others. With effort,
we can
translate
compassion
into
actions.
An
experience
last
weekend
showed
me
this
is
true.
I
work
part-time
in
a
supermarket
across
from
a
building
for
the
elderly.
These
old
people
are
our
main
customers,
and
it’s
not
hard
to
lose
patie
nce
over
their
slowness.
But last Sunday, one aged gentleman
appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This
untidy
man
walked
up
to
my
register
（收款机）
with
a
box
of
biscuits.
He
said
he
was
out
of
cash
（现金）
,
had
just
moved
into
his
room,
and
had
nothing
in
his
cupboards.
He asked if we could let him have the
food on trust. He promised to repay me the
next day.
I
couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind
of person he had been
ten or twenty
years before, and what he would be like if luck
had gone his way. I
had a hurt in my
heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in
the world. I told
him that I was sorry,
but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt
stupid and
unkind saying this, but I
valued my job.
Just
then, another
man, standing
behind the
first, spoke up. If
anything, he
looked more pitiable.
“Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What
I
had
been
feeling
was
pity.
Pity
is
soft
and
safe
and
easy.
Compassion,
on the other
hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second
man but told him that
was
not
allowed
either.
Then
I
reached
into
my
pocket
and
paid
for
the
biscuits
myself.
I
reached
into
my
pocket
because
these
two
men
had
reached
into
my
heart
and
taught
me
compassion.
29
．
The aged
gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.
A
．
hoped to have
the food first and pay later

B
．

．

D
．

32
．

A
．
Wealth is more
important than anything else.
B
．
Experience is
better gained through practice.
C
．
Helping others is easier
said than done.
D
．
Obeying the
rules means more than compassion.
D
These
days,
it
seems
that
almost
all
of
us
are
too
serious
．
My
older
daughter
often says to me, “Daddy, you’ve got
that serious look again．” Even those of
us
who
are
committed
to
（致力于）
non-
seriousness
are
probably
too
serious
．
People
are frustrated and anxious about almost
everything -- being five minutes late,
witnessing someone look at us wrong or
say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting
in line, overcooking a meal, making an
honest mistake -- you name it, and we all
lose
perspective
（理性看法）
over
it
．
The root
of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept
life as being
different, in any way,
from our expectation
．
Very
simply, we want things to be a
certain
way
but
they’re
not
a
certain
way．
Life
is
simply
as
it
is
．
Perhaps
Benjamin
Franklin said it
best: “Our limited perspective, our hopes and
fears become our
measure of life, and
when circumstances
don’t fit our ideas,
they become our
difficulties
．” We spend our
lives wanting things, people, a
nd
events to be just
as we want them to be
--
and when they’re not, we fight and
we suffer．
The first
step
in
recovering
from over-seriousness is to admit that
you have
a
problem
．
You have to want to
change, to become more
easygoing
．
You have to see
