growing up?"
"We didn"t have fast food when I was growing up," I told him. "All the food was slow.""Where did you
eat?""It was a place called "at home,"" I explained. "Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home
from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn"t like what she put on my plate I was
allowed to sit there until I did like it."
Some parents never owned their houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a
credit card (信用卡).
My parents have never drove me to football practice. This was mostly because we never had heard of
football. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed. We didn"t have a television
in our house until I was 11. I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie." When I bit (咬)
into it, I burned the roof of my mouth (上颚) and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered (粘) itself
against my chin (下巴) and burned that, too. It"s still the best pizza I ever had.
I delivered newspapers, six days a week. The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents. I had
to get up at 4 a. m every morning. On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers. My favorite
customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change.
If you grew up in a generation (一代) before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these
memories with your children and grandchildren.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, food, toys, and many other things. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden (瑞典).The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in fifteen European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels (频道), and the French spend about $20 million a year buying things through those channels. In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things. Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping "junk (劣质货) on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. | ||||||||||||||||
