概要写作。阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

    When a consumer finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单),or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results.

    However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favour, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.

    Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

    Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo(立体音响) does not work.”

    The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or she can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.

我现在也是童年

陈祖芬

    ①十来岁的时候,我想把全世界的童话书都买下来。

    ②那时我有多少钱呢?我没有零花钱,没有压岁钱。不过,我从来没想到我是没有钱的,我只以为我是有钱的。因为,每次考试成绩下来,我考一个五分,妈妈就会给我五角钱。那时候,考试是五分制,两分是不及格,五分就是优秀。如果我得到两三个五分,妈妈就会给我两三个五角钱。一个拥有两三个五角钱的人,那是怎样的有钱啊!我拿上钱调头就往书亭跑,激动万分地看着一本本童话书,想着怎么买回“全世界”。或许,谁也想不通五角钱怎么能买下全世界?能,当然能。因为我心目中的全世界,就是这个小书亭,而且是这个小书亭里的童话书。

    ③我每次把“全世界”买下来,读完,就放在小衣柜里。我年年买童话,可是我的“全世界”一直没怎么增加。怎么回事?对了,总有同学跟我借书。借的时候说好要还的,后来就忘了还我了,后来我也不记得是什么时候被什么人借走的。或许,书都跑进我的身体里,化进我的身体里了

    ④中学的时候,我常常生病在家,一个人躺在床上。那时候,没有电视,只能痴痴地望着斑驳的天花板。我在斑驳间看出无穷的图案,小仙女、小天使、小公主,还有森林、城堡、宫殿。美丽的、梦幻的故事天天在那里发生,我的“全世界”搬到了我家天花板上:天花板上的世界,把我的病床生涯,变得无边无际地绚丽。有童话的地方,就有美丽。

    ⑤童话是一条河,点点浪花跳动着智慧与真情;童话是一幅画,色彩光影调和着缤纷的诗趣与美丽;童话是一首诗,字里行间寄托着人类的未来与希望。我徜徉在童话的世界里。

    ⑥我喜欢洋娃娃,妈妈用布包上棉花再画上眼睛鼻子,给我做了一个。我上高二的时候还抱着这个娃娃去学校,后来就被批评了:你想想,你已经是高二学生了,怎么还这么幼稚,还抱着布娃娃上学?

    ⑦幼稚的双胞胎姐妹,叫做:天真。人长大了,就不可以天真了吗?

    ⑧长大了以后,我去欧洲、美洲,我去香港、台湾,我买回来的,大都是童话书和玩具。有一次在伦敦逛市场,看到了一只塑料大皮鞋,那是一个做成皮鞋状的童话小屋。我小时候的“全世界”里,有一本书就叫《大皮鞋》,封面上画的那只鞋,竞和伦敦市场上的这只一模一样。我好像在这里又看到了童年的梦,我拍着手又叫又跳。卖货的英国妇女,当即把大皮鞋的售价涨了一英镑还是半英镑。

    ⑨进入21世纪的时候,有报纸叫我写有关文章,我写了篇《三高世纪和玩具总动员》.我是觉得,社会越是现代化、数码化,越是应该唤醒童真。有天真,才有比尔•盖茨,才有爱迪生,才有无穷无尽的想象力和创造力。不信?看看比尔•盖茨那张永远长不大的娃娃脸。

    ⑩中国内地第一位登上《福布斯》封面的马云,是世界经济论坛选出的全球l00位未来领袖之一。马云是电子商务网站阿里巴巴的创办人。但是关于电脑,他只会浏览和收发邮件。

他自称不I也不T,一个不懂IT的人是怎样当上IT英雄的?他成功前,有人说他是傻子,是疯子。而我想,他是孩子,是一个用自己的创造写IT童话的孩子。虽然他已经40多岁了,但他说:“我现在也是童年。”

    ⑪我嘛,现在有多一些的钱来买“全世界”了。我的工作间是个玩具屋,是个童话世界。我近期写的一部长篇小说《你知道我在等你吗》,是个成年人的童话。有人读了说:祖芬的书越写越少儿化了。或许,我是把少年时代我家天花板上的童话搬进书房了。

    ⑫我高兴,“我现在也是童年”。
