We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands . We need to know how to make _ choices when we shop. Knowing how to make such choices is a "life skill", and we need the skill if we want to lead a useful and happy life. Some of these choices are small. For example, will I have an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I take a bus to school today or will I walk? Will I wear the red T- shirt or the blue one to go to the movie? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food? Will I work hard on all my classes or will I work hard only in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like these every day. Making wrong choices can cause unhappiness. We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our life.

"They're the last people I'd trust ," thought the boss. "But all the other astronauts have refused to go." Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs . When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again no answer came.
