Mr. and Mrs. Jones had no car of their own when they first came to the U. S. Therefore they went to work by bus every day. On one weekend, they wanted to go downtown by subway to go shopping. Then they walked to one building named "Subway". The signboard of "Subway" was very noticeable and they could see it when the bus passed it every day. At that time they did not know it was a "store", for they always believed it was a subway stop. When they arrived there they walked around the store for half an hour, but they still could not find the entrance to go down.
Finally through making an inquiry, they came to know that "Subway" is a famous store of sandwiches. "Sub" is a short form of "submarine sandwich", which is a long thin loaf of bread filled with salad and cold meat or cheese.
Since then, whenever they pass by the "Subway", they can’t help laughing.

As the car industry develops, traffic accidents have become as familiar as the common cold. Yet their cause and control remain a serious problem that is difficult to solve.
Experts have long recognized that this discouraging problem has multiple causes. At the very least it is a problem that involves three factors: the driver, the vehicle and the roadway. If all drivers exercised good judgment at all times, there would be few accidents. But this is rather like saying that if all people were honest, there would be no crime. Improved design has helped to make highways much safer. But the total of accidents continues to rise because of human failure and an enormous increase in the number of automobiles on the road. Attention is now turning increasingly to the third factor of the accident, that is, the car itself. Since people assume that the accidents are bound to occur, they want to know how cars can be built better to protect the drivers.

Beethoven is recognized as one of the greatest composers in the world.
Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven showed great talent at an early age. In 1787, he visited Vienna for the first time, which was the center of the musical world at that time. There he performed before Mozart, who was amazed at his talent.
By 1817, he became totally deaf. His public performances stopped, but he continued his creative work. His finest works were composed after he had lost the ability to enjoy them.
Beethoven’s life ended sadly. After suffering from an illness for a long time, he died on March 26,1827.
