He worked in a back room.After about six months, James said. “It’s time I taught you the secret of our success.”“I think I know that,” James said, “You buy watches at one price and sell them at a higher price. The difference in price is our profit.”“That’s true, but it’s not where we make most of our profit,” George said.He picked up a watch from the counter.“What do you think of this watch?” he asked James.“That’s a cheap watch,” the young man replied. “We don’t make much profit from selling those. Perhaps a few dollars each.”“That’s where you are wrong, my boy,” George said. “Those watches make more profit than any other watch in the shop.”“I don’t understand,” James said.“Because they are really cheap, they are always breaking,” George told him. “We make our profit from repairing them.”61.

But we knew my sick grandma must want to see us in no time. I could see a nurse reading a book behind the big desk, but we could do nothing at that time.Suddenly, Mom took off her coat and gave it to me. Then she went to a small room and took out a wet mop (拖把). While I watched these in surprise, she pushed the mop and passed the desk quickly. As the nurse looked up, Mom nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.”“Yes, I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them.” the nurse answered. She looked at Mom strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?”Mom just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I waited in a corner and watched until she was out of sight.After a long time, Mom came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mom said politely to the nurse, “Bye- bye.”Outside, Mom told me, “Grandma is fine. No fever.”“You saw her, Mom?”“Of course.” I told her about the hospital rules. She will meet all of us tomorrow morning. And Dad will stop worrying as well. It’s a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is not good. You need a broom (扫帚)!”66.
