Those who pay the contribution are known as “insured“ and those who administer the pool of contributions as “insurers.“ Not all risks lend themselves to being cov
5、ered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business and speculation cannot be covered.

His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is
13、a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, wi
14、th hardly any chat and to everyone“s satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants.

17、ind what she wants, and she is only “having a look around“. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone
18、thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing h
19、er steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one.

27、f quoting to make clear the original author. Secondly, the author spent a lot of time and effort to write his work. If someone just uses it, it would be a big disrespect to the author. Plagiarism is wrong, and there is no question in that. If you are the author, you won“t want your work to be plagia
