9、ly,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him?

10、ing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me.

11、onin plete silence and without looking at me.

12、njoyed my pany.

17、s the second best day followed by Fridaybut Sunday is when you are least likely to make a saving. The study also looked at months and found that the preChristmas rush in November is when there are most bargains around on the weband not the January sales. US retailer(零售商) reporting service Sum All ex

18、amined 3,000 panies and half a billion transactions(交易) as part of its report. It worked out the average discount(折扣) offered to consumers on each day of the week and over different times of the year.The best day of the week was Tuesday where savings were 4.81 percent, followed by Thursday on 4.80 p

19、ercent. In third place was Friday at 4.65 percent, then Wednesday at 4.13 percent and Monday at 4.11 percent. Only the foolish would shop on a Saturday where the discounts were typically 3.84 percentand Sunday was the worst with 3.37 percent.The analysis by month is even more surprising as most peop

January came in second at 4.95 percent, followed by May at 4.50 percent.The worst month to buy online was March where you coul

21、d expect to save just 2.76 percent.
