A jobless man wanted very much to have the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR

manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You have passed the test,” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I ll send you the form to fill in and the date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don t have a computer, neither an e-mail.” “I m sorry,” said the HR manager. “If you don t have an e-mail, that means you are not living. And anyone who isn t living cannot have the job.”

The man left with no hope at all. He didn t know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He

thought and thought. Then he went to the supermarket and bought 10 kilos of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had 20 dollars. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man came to know that he could make money in this way, and started to go early every day, and returned home late. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles(运货车队). Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers(零售商) in the US.

One day, one of his friends asked him for his e-mail. He said, “I haven t got one.” His friend couldn t believe his ears. “Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I d be an office boy at Microsoft!”

In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can

choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed(包装的) lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.

Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My

children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”

However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have

always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”

But how healthy are school dinners? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said,

“Fizzy(起泡的) drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.”

Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy

food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews and curries for the children instead.

So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in

that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.

Anna, a pupil, told us, “We used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke,

but they stopped that this year. There s a salad restaurant, which is good, so it s healthier than it was.”
