想念的地图

假如想念是一张地图，打开思念的地图，你也许会发现，不管这张地图有多么复杂，想念的起点也是终点。小孩子想念的是亲人，长大了，想念的是恋人，后来，想念的对象又变成了亲人。人生最初的想念和最后的想念几乎是一样的，无论我们走多远，也是殊途同归。

想念一个人到底是什么滋味？如果可以不要想念一个人，是不是会比较自由？想念一旦展开，我们都是不自由的。当我老了，当一切都结束，远方不再有想念，那时候我会感受到能够想念一个人，也被人想念，这张地图是漂亮的。

学习重点：殊途同归

Life's too short to read the small print, right? The small print, sometimes called the "fine print" is the name for the terms and conditions you find on websites, contracts and other documents.

The size of the text is often a little smaller and there can be quite a lot of it. For these reasons, some of us don't read it all — even though we know it can be very important.

A company from the UK decided to test how many people really do read the small print.

The company, called Tax Policy Associates, hid a little surprise in the privacy policy on its website, offering to send a nice bottle of wine to anyone who read it.

It was the idea of company founder Dan Neidle. He wrote in the policy: "We will send a bottle of good wine to the first person to read this."

The policy was posted online in February, but the company was only contacted about the wine in May!

He told the BBC that it was a "childish protest" because "all businesses have to have a privacy policy" even though no one reads them.

Neidle added: "Every tiny coffee shop has to have a privacy policy on their website, it's crazy."

He said that the person who found the sentence about the wine had been writing their own privacy policy, and they were looking for examples.

That lucky person was sent a bottle of French red wine and the sentence offering the free wine has now been taken out of the policy!
