3、 approach must be wrong. I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes. How much do you want do it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “Ok,” he said, “Ill give you

4、 twenty pounds.” “It has a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; its nothing.” Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?

5、st sold it to me.” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. Im sorry. Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said.

6、d walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble.

10、itive experience beyond the plane ride with “Sneakairs”smart shoes that allow visitors to explore new cities and towns without ever looking at a map. To transform Sneakairs from an ordinary shoe to a tour guide, all the wearer has to do is enter his or her desired destination into the easyJet smartp

11、hone app. A built-in GPS will deter mine the wearers starting location while the Google Maps navigation(导航) tool will help chart the best route. Whenever a change of direction is necessary, the app will communicate with the appropriate shoe via the Bluetooth and cause it to vibrate(振动). For example,

12、 if the wearer needs to turn right, he/she will feel the sensation in the right shoe.

13、meal have nothing to worry about. The smart app will automatically determine the new location and chart out a new route, once the desired destination is reached.

14、ces are needed again! Sneakairs is certainly not the first navigation shoe in the market. However, easyJet is the first airline to offer them to passengers just as they are about to land in an unknown city. However, before Sneakairs can go mainstream, the easyJet team still needs to make some adjust

19、aying video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard. Many people say “yes” to those kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards. Saying
