Editor's note: watch in today's society has become common household items, of course, to some extent is a symbol of their own identity, may have lost the The author is described in the section of memories of the last century, the text can not hide a faction of the recollections of past feelings. Enjoy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Watch is a very common wear items, it is able to provide time services to human, but also a decoration.
in the last century, the fifties and sixties, with not many people watch, even holding a national wage workers are also a lot of people can not afford to wear a watch. In the planned economy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], import table are few and expensive, is also made the table a hundred dollars, the monthly wages for thirty or forty dollars, and if a heavier burden on the family and want a watch is more difficult ! I belong to such people.
I in 1958 to work until the twenty-one year after 1979, the eldest son to work, first to buy a watch, it was because of the introduction of talent from Shanghai to Qinghai, in the county mutual aid Office had a watch factory, the unit's brother was one of my colleagues the plant director, bought by a colleague on behalf of the trial product. Fifty dollars a piece. At that time the family were thrilled!
With the introduction of electronic table of reform and opening up, the gradual improvement of people's lives. Wearing a watch more and more people. At first, a digital electronic form can be a hundred dollars. Remember the first time I saw a post office workers to wear a piece of digital electronic form, many people feel very strange, a question that is one hundred and sixty yuan to buy, really rare. Later, increased imports and domestic production is also a large number of electronic table, the price also cheaper. Even a few dollars more than ten dollars can buy a watch. Then another pointer electronic form, the person is already wearing a watch from children to adults, young and old are very common.

Do not know what hour, how do? Office buildings have suddenly remembered a clock, and quickly ran out to put on coat (not the back door on the building) a look before midnight! Back to the hostel did not dare to sleep after the sleepy, half asleep, had to suffer a half to sit Banwo wait until five one had to wash up after the back luggage, lock the door (the same dormitory colleagues have on a business trip) go out into the bus station go. At that time no car, take the big truck, the baggage is put to the carriage of a seat, and was sleepy all the way Britain was. Britain had finally been vomiting in one place (when the road is very simple, poor road conditions, and for the warmth inside by tarpaulin cover as tightly as Menguan car, plus I did not sleep well all night.) Get the other Passengers have strong opinions! Then I bought a small alarm clock on the dorm room, every day there are
1972 winter trip on the way in Shantou, Hainan Island, Results wake up, I heard loud voices outside, combined with CTS lights, that day has been turned on. Hurry up, go into the hallway and saw the clock on the wall, less than twelve too! Many visitors had not yet slept. Hey!
early 1967, I was sent to the hall of Lanzhou in Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, New Northwest (Shaanxi than) any of the four provinces combined the work of plant quarantine stations.

Found with dangerous pests on seeds, seedlings and other agricultural products, water disinfection can be used to get the train returned to the boiler room to dry after disinfection of passengers that can not be dealt with in the car to be confiscated, brought back to stand on destroyed. Four provinces to prevent the risk of pests and diseases are not introduced. If you normally work on the train from Baoji, West Railway Station to connect to the rope end. If the car is from the Tianshui to be before the West could end. Then in the cozy west off the West or fixed, Hou work by another tour bus to Lanzhou.

Mr. Dawson was an old grouch2), and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch3)and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, she was scared4)of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.
Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown5), but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Studying in the US: A Free Year at a Community College.This is the VOA Special English Education Report.Two-year colleges in the United States are also known as community colleges. Students earn an associate degree. Or they can train for a job for a year or two and get a certificate.Community colleges are less costly than other schools. Some international students can even get a year of education for free. The United States government and the colleges pay the costs in a program called the Community College Initiative.Six countries took part during the first two years: Brazil, Egypt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Indonesia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Pakistan, South Africa and Turkey. Now those countries are joined by Cuba, Ghana and most of Central America. Local Fulbright committees generally nominate the students.The program provides job training for people who otherwise could not attend college. They learn skills their countries need,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], like agriculture and health care. Vocational school teachers and administrators from Egypt can also receive professional development through the program.The program began two years ago with eighty-four students and six colleges. State Department officials say more than five hundred students will attend thirty-seven community colleges this fall.Where students are placed depends on what they want to study. The program is also a chance to learn about America and its people. And it gives colleges a way to expand their diversity. The students live in dormitories or apartments or with local families.Carol Stax-Brown is an administrator of the program for a group called Community Colleges for International Development. She says they look for people who have had some work experience, speak some English and want to experience another culture. The program includes English classes in the summer before school starts for those who need them.Carol Stax-Brown says colleges in some countries might accept credits from the program. But this is not a way to immediately transfer to four-year colleges and universities in other countries, including the United States. Students cannot return to the United States for two years after they finish their year of study.A Web page is being developed for information on the Community College Initiative. For now, students from countries in the program should contact their local Fulbright committee or United States embassy.And that's the VOA Special English Education Report,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], written by Nancy Steinbach.
