Mrs. White I hate salesmen. I mean they are always pestering me to buy things I don’t want. Why should I waste my time listening to their lies and looking at the junk they are trying to sell me When I need something, I go out and buy it. Things are cheaper at the supermarket and there’s a much better selection there. Mrs. Lee People prefer to buy from door-to-door salesmen because they are so friendly. A good salesman always brings things like candies for the children, sympathy for the tired housewife and a smile for the lonely old people. And the customers always have a chance to try things before they actually buy them. You don’t get that kind of service at the supermarket. Mrs. Ros I just don’t trust those salesmen. Once you let in a salesperson you can never get rid of him. They just keep talking and talking until you buy his goods. When you come to use the thing, you find out it’s a piece of junk. But you can’t get your money back. They use all kinds of dishonest tricks to get people to buy overpriced goods which they don’t need and can’t afford. Mr. Wales I have met salesmen who sell only quality products. Customers test everything in their own homes and at their own convenience. I’ve heard a few cases of salesman harassing customers or making false claims. I suppose there are a few bad salesmen. But there are also bad doctors, bad policemen and so on. They aren’t typical of their profession. Mr. Baker Salesmen often came by for a coffee and a nice talk. I’m so glad they do so. I don’t have many visitors and the salesmen are interesting people.

Text 3 The word conservation has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless" and "inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others. Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was anew idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today. For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone’s daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of man’s fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can. To avoid the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that______.

A. we plant more trees
B. we return to nature
C. natural sciences be taught to everybody
D. environmental education be directed toward everyone
