2000年6月8日日记

黄安年文  黄安年2023年6月24日发布（第32858篇）

【按：自2022年12月23日起分批发布1999年10月22日-2000年7月4日我们的美国之行日记内容，这里是2000年6月8日日记。当时日记如实记叙所见所为所思所想，为普通公民实录具有史料价值，无涉当今价值判断】

*在CVS，我们发现里面有1$一瓶的营养品,但是用途不甚清楚,维他命E也没有找到。在Path Mark看到了也有出售$1营养品的专柜,其中正好找到一瓶维他命E,真是工夫不负有心人,它的原价要9$,我们还对比了某些商品和$1商店同样商品的比价,一般便宜1/3-1/2,个别便宜一倍以至二三倍。在美国要多走几家进行商品比较，它和进货渠道、商店知名度、商品保值期等都有直接关系。

 _I Will Survive: Far Out Ways to Beat Jet Lag

   The disco ball is turning but you're too tired to dance. You've got jet lag, baby. The condition is common among travelers, but there are proven ways to reduce its severity. Symptoms include fatigue, insomnia, headaches, disorientation and lightheadedness. Avoid these symptoms by adjusting your sleep time before you leave. When you're at the airport, walking will increase circulation and help you feel refreshed.  Once on the plane, change your watch to your destination time zone. Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid alcohol. Sleep on the plane if it is nighttime in your arrival city. For international travel, book overnight flights and sleep during the flight. Or, book a flight that arrives at night so you can immediately go to bed. An eye mask may help enhance sleep on the plane and during travel. Adapt to new meal and sleep times in your new time zone as quickly as possible. What you eat affects how you feel; protein rich meals stimulate wakefulness and high carbohydrate meals promote sleep. Finally, rejuvenate with additional light exercise in your arrival city.

 As you begin a fun-filled vacation, when will you know the effects of jet lag are behind you? When time begins to fly.   Call 888-444-5555 for Reservations  For more travel deals visit www.lowestfare.com  All prices quoted in newsletter are per person, based on double occupancy, and do not include port charges, taxes, PFC抯, segment taxes or fuel surcharges.

Uchitelle j寄来的家庭作业（Crossroads Café Worktext A）。她在6月1日的信中写道：“Crossroads Café- A distance learning program, Workforce and Career Center, 161 Gramatan Avenue, Mount Vernon, NY 10550, 914 665-5696.

    在一份Work Time Record Sheet中规定：“You Must return your finished work on or before June 22”“You must return your work on time. New York State requires all students in a Home Study Program to complete their assignment within two weeks. If not, the student will be dropped from the program.”。目前录像带尚未寄来。

3:30-4:55pm, 和L去CVS和Path Mark参观商品和采购,发现在CVS旁边有一家新开张的$1 Limit商店,他们正在紧张筹备,预定明天正式开业,这样在我们附近也会有一家$1商店了。在CVS，我们发现里面有1$一瓶的营养品,但是用途不甚清楚,维他命E也没有找到。在Path Mark看到了也有出售$1营养品的专柜,其中正好找到一瓶维他命E,真是工夫不负有心人,它的原价要9$,我们还对比了某些商品和$1商店同样商品的比价,一般便宜1/3-1/2,个别便宜一倍以至二三倍。在美国要多走几家进行商品比较，它和进货渠道、商店知名度、商品保值期等都有直接关系。

5:20pm,给邵雁打电话，不通，电话已经撤消，接着给苏庄打电话，他说已经搬家，离学校更近也更安全，600$一个月,两居室,卫生设备全有,并欢迎我们什么时候去他门那里。

    为我们下周初去大瀑布，Y去银行取出$300给我们,我们准备明天再去一次China Town参观景点并且将票购好。
