When John and Victoria Fails arrived in New York from London for a one-year stay, they did not bring many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment (家具齐全的公寓) or to buy used furniture (家具). But they soon learned that the renting (出租) of home furnishings (beds, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America"s fastest growing business. What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people: international businessmen,government officers, airline workers, young married couples--the people whose jobs may make them move frequently (频繁地) from one city (or country) to another. They saved the trouble and cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile (另一方面), they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy. One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, 1ike their rented furniture so much that they decide to keep renting it instead of buying new things.

Group Helps Others to Build Houses TEPETITAN, EL SALVADOR- Evinor Mira is only sixteen years old, but he is working as hard as an adult man to help his family get a good house. Evinor lives with his mother and his little brother and sister in Tepetitan, EL Salvador. His father is dead, and the family is very poor. Their house is a small one of mud (泥土) and sticks, so Evinor is working with an organization called Habitat for Humanity to build a new home. Habitat for Humanity helps people who need houses but do not have much money. Each family buys the house through monthly payments (每月付款). Their payments help build more houses because banks can then lend money to other families. Habitat for Humanity volunteers help to build the house, but the families must do a lot of the work themselves. Every morning, Evinor begins at 7:00. He and the volunteer workers from Habitat carry boards (木板), pound nails (敲钉子), and pour concrete (混凝土) all day, six days a week. The other workers can go home and rest at 4:00 p.m., but Evinor"s day isn"t over. He rides on a bus for forty minutes to go to school in another town. He is in high school and attends classes for four hours every evening. At 9:00 p.m. he has to walk two and a half hours to get home because there aren"t any buses so late at night. Around 11:30 p.m. he arrives home and does his homework. On Sundays, Evinor works with the Habitat organization to help other families get houses, too. Evinor does not have the easy life of many teenagers, but he doesn"t mind working so hard. He is proud that he can help his own family and others in his community (社区) to have better lives. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
