A SERVICE CENTRE
    Look at this service centre. How busy everybody is!
    The man in the middle is mending shoes. At a counter on the right, a woman is showing an old man a towel and some soap. We see a girl at the door. She is going to do housework for the families in the neighbourhood.
    Two women are sewing by the window. One of them is making a shirt and the other is making a pair of trousers.
    The workers at the service centre help their neighbours in many ways. They play an important part in people's life.

               服务中心
    瞧这家服务中心，大伙儿多忙呀！
    中间这位男子正在修鞋，靠右边的柜台里，女售货员拿出毛巾和肥皂给一位老人看。还可以看见门口有一位姑娘，正准备去帮邻里各家做家务呢。
    靠窗有两位妇女在做针线活儿，一个做衬衣，另一个补裤子。
    服务中心的工人们在很多方面为四周邻居提供帮助，他们在人民生活中发挥着重要作用。
