One of the things I am really fond of is the weekly shopping experience. I like to

imagine pushing the trolley slowly around the supermarket and taking anything that

interests me. But my experience is not always so exciting. First it is difficult to get

a shopping trolley. Carefully designed not only to hold all shapes and sizes of

purchases, a single trolley is hard to get out of the line of trolley s where it is

parked. Often one needs the help of two strong men. The next lesson is that women never

follow a logical route when shopping. Your wife has disappeared before you know it.

After ten minutes of searching, when you finally find her in a far corner, she

enquires: “Where have you been all this time, dear？” Supermarket managers are sent on

courses to learn how to tempt the customers and persuade them to buy goods they do not

really need, at prices they are not able afford. As a newcomer, I am often taken in by

their clever techniques, as I take many goods off the shelves. But I am often

discouraged by my wife. “Put it back, dear.” “You’ve tried that before and didn’t

take to it.” “No, it’s too expensive.” After the week’s groceries have been

collected, the last trial is passing through the checkout counter. Never join the

shortest queue. It usually contains several shoppers who pay by writing out a personal

cheque and who wait until all their purchases have been totaled up before beginning a

mad search through their handbags for their cheque books. When the book is found, the

customer never knows the date, asks again for the forgotten total and forgets to put

the address on the back. Don’t be fooled, either, by thinking that this is the end of

the exercise. When the cheque has been carefully examined by the cashier, a bell rings

, and there is a further wait until a supervisor arrives to say that the cheque can be

accepted. Then it is our turn, and the checkout girl is so quick and efficient that we

don’t have time to get our own chequebook ready. But the people who are packing our

shopping are kind and give us friendly smiles When we come once more into the great

outside world, a broken egg is running down my trousers. I hear the voice of my wife

call out: “Oops, dear, mind the trolley.” Shopping!

Sharing Silence

Deaf teenagers Orlando Chavez and German Resendiz have been friends since kindergarten(幼儿园)． Together the two boys，who go to Escondido High School in California，have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak and hear．

Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one．German was born deaf，and his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language．He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten．

“We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids，”German remembers．“Before then，I didn’t know I was deaf and that I was different．”

“Being young and deaf in regular classes was very hard，”signs Orlando．“The other kids didn't understand us and we didn't understand them．But we”ve all grown up together，and today，I'm popular be cause I'm deaf．Kids try hard to communicate with me．”

Some things are very difficult for the two boys．“We can't talk on the phone，so if we need help，we can't call an emergency service，”German signs．“And we can't order food in a drive-thru．”

Despite their difficulties，the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket． They got their jobs through a“workability”program，designed for teenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities．

German has worked in the supermarket since August，and Orlando started in November．

“The other people who work here have been very nice to us，”Orlando signs．“They even sign some times．At first，we were nervous，but we've learned a lot and we’re getting better．”
