The ghost of the present Christmas shows him people being happy on Christmas Day. His clerk（雇员）, Bob Cratchit, does not have much to eat, but the family is happy, even the little boy Tim who is ill.

The ghost of the future Christmases talks about a dead man. People are rather happy when he dies and do not go to his funeral（葬礼）. Scrooge asks who it is. The ghost shows him a stone and on it s written : Scrooge.

Scrooge learns the lesson. Money is not real treasure, but friends, love and helping people are. Scrooge’s behaviour is completely changed. He does not think about money any more. He gives Christmas presents, sends a turkey to the Cratchits, and pays for medicine for Tim so that he stays alive and grows up strong and healthy.

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer(自动换币器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter(两角五分钱) out of his coin changer. Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note --- “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery.”--- and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience（方便）. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

Sadly,there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete（竞争）. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

The sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several reasons for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is easy. Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more power, an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.

The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road well. Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in serious trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy --- about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline(汽油) than smaller cars.

There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not drive them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so perhaps fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline. The sports utility vehicle Introduction 87 why SUNs are popular.
