● Our Needs

People are different， but they all have the same needs. Needs are things people must have to live. Our bodies need food and water. We also need air to breathe. We need a place to live to keep us safe. We need clothes to keep us warm. If we did not have these things， we could not survive （生存）.

Needs may be different for people who live in different areas. If you live where it is cold， you may need special clothes to keep you warm. If you live where it is hot， you may need more water. People have found new ways to meet their needs. Farmers grow food that people eat. They used to plant seeds by hand. They used to pick plants by hand. Now they have machines that do this work.

● Our Wants

Wants are things people would like to have but do not need to live. Imagine you hope to get a football for your birthday. A football is a want. You can live without it.

Sometimes we might want something so much that it feels like a need. We have to make choices， though. If you need a new coat for winter， you might not be able to get the football you want. We must choose what we need over what we want.

Sometimes we must make choices between things we want. Imagine you want to go to a birthday party for your uncle. That day， a friend asks you to go to a movie. The movie is at the same time as the party.

If you choose to go to the party， then what would you give up？ What would you give up if you went to the movie？

“Here is the shopping for Mr Green，” said Dad， handing me a big plastic bag. Dad owned a milk bar， and sometimes I helped out after school with deliveries （送货）. We had our regulars， but times were hard. Dad said it was the home deliveries and the tea Dad imported （进口） from Fuzhou that kept us in business. Dad was well-known for his tea， and people came from miles around to buy it.

I loaded up my bicycle with Mr Greens shopping. His order always included three packets of Dads tea. How Mr Green could drink that much tea each week was a mystery to me.

“See you later， Chen，” said Dad.

He always called me by my Chinese name.

Dads parents came from China in the 1950s. I had a yuan coin they brought with them. I cycled out into the sun， wishing I could drive—it would be so much quicker to make deliveries.

Dad always said the exercise was good for me. I knew he was right， but Id already decided that when I left home， the first thing I would do was to buy a car.

I loved anything to do with cars， and Id decided I would be a mechanic （機修工）， although I knew it wasnt what Dad had in mind for me. Hed already started saying to his friends， “When Chen goes to university，...” If that happened， I would be the first person in my family to go， and it would be a great honor for my dad. But it wasnt what I wanted.

1. How did Dad keep his business？

2. What was Mr Greens order？

3. When did the grandparents leave China？

4. What was the writer interested in？

5. What would Dad think of writers being was the first

person to go to university？
