21、 to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, although we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: where the jungle did not actually spread down into
22、the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting ones way with knives the whole way. So we stayed
23、in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.We lived on fish, any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I
24、must say I did not much enjoy the experience: perhaps sea-fish which dont live in the mud are less tasteless. After eating my fish, I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice, and ice cream. In the never-ending heat of the jungle, ice cream was a particularly frequent dream.As f
25、or water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped what had appeared to certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result

They use credit cards when they want to buy clothes, VCRs, or television sets.But there is an underclass people with low incomes and no credit history who visit their neighborhood pawnshops (当铺) when they need cash
30、 or a loan.About 20 percent of the US population has no bank account. More than half of this group dont have credit cards and cannot get bank loans.“These people are borrowing an average of $50,” said John P. Caskey of Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. “If you add up in terms of how mu
31、ch dollar value pawnshops provide, they dont look very important. If you add up how much of the population they serve or the number of loans they make, they are important.”Because they make loans, pawnshops are a type of bank, often calling themselves “the bank of the little people.”Caskey and Swart
32、hmore student Brian Zidmund in 1989 looked at the importance of pawnshops in the US economythe first serious study of the subject since the 1930s.Their conclusion: pawnshops are the consumers lender of last resort (最后贷款人).Pawnshop customers typically cannot get credit at banks. They have poor credit
33、 records, low and unstable incomes, or cannot maintain positive bank account balances.Typically, pawnshop customers borrow relatively small amounts that traditional lenders are unwilling or unable to provide on a secured basis.“If you look at total consumer credit, the amounts provided by pawnshops
34、remain small,” Caskey said. “They are lending mainly to low-income people. In terms of the population they serve, theyre really important.”In 1988, there were about 6,900 pawnshops in the United States one for every two commercial banks. They made about 35 million loans, providing 1 percent of the n

38、of loans to the poorDMemory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.Someti
39、mes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doin
40、g something and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barbershop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny
41、and amusing in incidents caused by peoples forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones.
