instead of walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, suggested
mixing the syrup with soda water. The
customer agreed, and after drinking it, remarked how good it tasted. The
clerk continued offering the mix and carbonated cola grew in popularity. Today carbonated cola is sold in most
countries around the world. And although they no longer contain the
ingredients used to cure headaches, they are still very refreshing.

In some countries certain
kinds of insurance are compulsory. In others, most kinds are practically
unknown. In addition, the cost of insurance and the type of coverage provided vary widely from country to country. But
the basic principle of insturance remains the same,that is,to share the
possible risk.
Is it wise to spend money on
insurance even though a claim may never be made? Is keeping a spare tire in the
car a wasted investment, even if the tire is never needed? The sense of
security to the car driver may make the expense of the extra tire worthwhile
While financial compensation cannot make up for certain losses, it may
compensate for other losses.Much of the insurance purchased by individuals
falls into the categories of property, health, disability, and life insurance.
Property insurance is to
insure against the loss of property---home, business, cars. or other
possessions. It is among the most common forms of risk management. Health
insurance pays some medical expenses or may pay for only certain medical care.
In many places workers may receive health insurance as a condition of their
employment. Disability insurance provides some income if a person is injured
and cannot work. Life insurance provides financial assistance to a person's
dependents in case of his or her death.
Such insurance has enabled many families to pay off outstanding debts
and carry on their routine of life after the injury or the death of their main
breadwinner.

When young people get their
first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may
find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is
also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both
professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university
classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that
arise in the working world.
Perhaps the best way to learn
how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and
observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you
admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis.
Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to
day-to-day situations. While you are observing your colleague, you should be
asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from
his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a
model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.

In choosing the type of
career you will take upon leaving university or college. I'm sure that most of
you will not find it straightforward or easy decision. Making a career choice
is not of the biggest decisions we will make in our life-time.

Geography is the study of the
relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast
various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and
consider the earth as a whole. The word geography comes from two Greek words:
ge，the
Greek word for "earth" and graphein, which. means "to
write". The English word geography means "to describe the
earth". Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city.
Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an entire continent. Many
geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of
geography is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography.
The former focuses on the natural world; the latter starts with human beings
and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But
when geography is considered as a single subject, neither branch can neglect
the other.
A geographer might be
