21．（6分）Seventy-three-year-old George McNeilon lected his food in Value Mart very carefully. After leaving the cashier, he estimated (估计) that he had saved 80 cents and thought that he had got good value for his money again.
At the exit, the chilly wind reminded him of his gloves. “Now where are they?” He arched here and there, but nowhere could he find them. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. The worried man made a cond arch in all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. He was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.
George bought the gloves at a 25% discount, for just $30, ten years ago. They were genuine lambskin (小羊皮), soft, warm and durable. Until then, he had worn cheaper man-made material that lasted no more than three years. His impulsive decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as pasngers stared at him enviously for six months out of the year. He enjoyed being envied.
