As Gas Prices Increase, So Do Hardships
By Julie Livingston
Staff Reporter
With gas prices at more than $4 per gallon, many Upton citizens are being forced to break their regular routine and change their way of living.
In the past, high gas prices meant Uptonites would postpone their weekend trip or even summer vacation, but today, Uptonites are changing more than travel plans.
"I started riding my bike to run errands in town," said resident Dale Brown. "But I still have to commute into the city for work, and I'm paying nearly double in gas. I may have to look for a new job."
Not only are people riding bicycles more, buses have been fuller than usual, and the gas prices are forcing the city council to discuss increasing ticket prices by 20 cents.
Still many people are driving as usual, but filling their tanks only half way. "I get calls a few times per week that they've run out of gas, so I drive out to where they are and bring them gas," said Marty Watson, owner of Marty's Gas Station. "It's a shame that [the gas] is not as affordable, so people fill up less and get stuck."

Who creates Fun Science？
听力原文： Few people can stand for the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the 18th century：he was born 6 years after the century began and died 10years before it ended．During this time，
he saw tile American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the new state. He was deeply interested in science and natural history and his experiments with electricity and lighting led directly to the invention of the lightening rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the founding up of a library, a university, a philosophical society and a fire prevention service. He worked hard to enable the American colonies to gain independence from Britain. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war, he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last contribution for he died late that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.

Luis,
Thanks for the notice. I went in the back room and was wondering what was going on with those cases of sun lotion. Since it was Patrick who ordered, I'll let him know what happened.
Since it's been pretty slow these days, I'll have him build a display to promote the sun lotion. I'm sure we'll get rid of it before the summer is over.
I hope you are enjoying your day off.
Regards,
Amanda

Aleem,
I'm sorry, but I won't be able to make today's meeting with the investors. I'm terribly sick and cannot get out of bed. I think it's the flu. If I'm able, I'm going to try to go to the hospital later.
Please apologize to Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Withers, and tell them that I will contact them later in the week.
Let me know how everything goes. I think it'll be a short meeting. Everything seems to be on track. Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Tina
