Asda Living, a superstore in Cheetham Hill, Manchester is introducing a “quiet hour” to help autistic (孤独症的) and other disabled shoppers.It will turn off the in store music and TVs to make the shop perfect for anyone who is troubled by loud noises.
Manager Simon Lea says “you'll be able to hear a pin (大头针) drop” when he starts his first quiet hour at 8 am on Saturday May 7.
He decided to introduce it after seeing a boy with autism crying on the shop floor two weeks ago.
“This boy was kicking and shouting.His mum just didn't know what to do.She told me he has autism，” said Simon, a 39 year old father of two.“Then I gave him a ￡1 football.This boy looked at me and he started playing with the football.”
Because of the event, the manager decided to talk to a member of staff (员工) with an autistic child and disabled shoppers to see if he could do anything for them.
The result is the “quiet hour”， which will mean staff coming in an hour early at 6 am to prepare the shop for the May 7 event.
“It's all about helping people really.Six months ago I would have said ‘control your child’ even though I've got children.But learning about autistic and other disabled people has helped me think about how I can make it a better place to shop，” said Simon.“I myself suffered for many years with anxiety (焦虑)．I used to hate going into busy stores.There are a lot of people who have mental illness and we want to make the shop better for them.”

The law of supply and demand (需求) explains how the prices of goods and services are determined.Prices rise when there is an increase in demand.When there is an increase in supply, prices go down.
When the amount of goods being demanded is the same as the amount of goods being supplied, it stabilizes prices.However, if either side increases too much, it can create economic (经济的) problems.Tulip Mania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age when the prices of tulips rose and dropped rapidly.In the 1630s, the demand for these flowers increased so much that prices went out of control.
After tulips were introduced to the Netherlands, they became a symbol of wealth and position.As a result, the rare types were seen as valuable things and were traded at high prices.Soon, they grew in popularity as a trading product, and traders bought them to make a lot of money.Even ordinary people started to believe it was an easy way to make money and got involved (参与) in the trade of the tulips.
Prices kept on rising as more people wanted tulips.Some people began selling all of their possessions (财产) in order to buy them.And the prices became unbelievably higher than the value of the actual things.As the supply increased, however, some people thought the demand for tulips would not last and began to sell their tulips.Finally, prices dropped, and many were left poor with worthless tulips.

In schools and at home, most of us have been scolded or even got punished for daydreaming. The majority of people say that by daydreaming we waste our time and energy in
something that is nothing less than unproductive things. But many medical studies have showed something different. They've stressed on the fact that daydreaming works wonders on our imagination power, creativity and situation handling technique. In fact, many problems can be easily solved if we daydream.
The topmost benefit of daydreaming is that your mood gets the right improvement.By separating yourself from the world around you, you tend to enjoy the aloneness in your mind and get peace from daydreaming as you think about something that calms your senses. When you start imagining things while daydreaming, you tend to forget all the stress and tension. Instead, you get happiness from it and this happiness changes into a source of energy that helps you in working in a good mood.
Many psychologists have said that people who daydream tend to have a sharper memory.It's true that when you're daydreaming, you tend to get carried away to imagining various situations, either real or unreal. You tend to act differently in different situations, trying to satisfy your mind by doing what you want in your dreams. When your mind gets satisfied, you're in a better position to concentrate more in your work. Since daydreaming activates the nerves of your brain, you tend to have higher attentiveness and your ability to remember things develop.
When you daydream, you automatically imagine yourself as your heart says and therefore, you get to know yourself better. You also start realizing the mistakes you've made in life and you start trying your best to avoid repeating them. Such imagination techniques help you to connect yourself with your soul.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In schools and at home, most of us have been scolded or even got punished for daydreaming. The majority of people say that by daydreaming we waste our time and energy in
something that is nothing less than unproductive things. But many medical studies have showed something different. They've stressed on the fact that daydreaming works wonders on our imagination power, creativity and situation handling technique. In fact, many problems can be easily solved if we daydream.
The topmost benefit of daydreaming is that your mood gets the right improvement.By separating yourself from the world around you, you tend to enjoy the aloneness in your mind and get peace from daydreaming as you think about something that calms your senses. When you start imagining things while daydreaming, you tend to forget all the stress and tension. Instead, you get happiness from it and this happiness changes into a source of energy that helps you in working in a good mood.
Many psychologists have said that people who daydream tend to have a sharper memory.It's true that when you're daydreaming, you tend to get carried away to imagining various situations, either real or unreal. You tend to act differently in different situations, trying to satisfy your mind by doing what you want in your dreams. When your mind gets satisfied, you're in a better position to concentrate more in your work. Since daydreaming activates the nerves of your brain, you tend to have higher attentiveness and your ability to remember things develop.
When you daydream, you automatically imagine yourself as your heart says and therefore, you get to know yourself better. You also start realizing the mistakes you've made in life and you start trying your best to avoid repeating them. Such imagination techniques help you to connect yourself with your soul.
