A young man went to a car showroom. He was wearing rubber boots and a dirty jacket. He needed a haircut badly and was unshaven. The young man examined an expensive car carefully and then turned to speak to the salesman.
"How much does this car cost?" he asked.
"One thousand two hundred and eighteen pounds," the salesman said.
"I´ll have sixteen of them. " the young man said.
The salesman smiled. He found it hard to be polite. "You are joking of course," he said," I´m afraid we can´t help you. This car is not for sale. "
The salesman showed his customer the door and the young man left the shop without a word. He went to a showroom on the other side of the street and took a handle of notes out of his pocket and paid for the cars. He explained that the cars were for himself and his colleagues working in a Norwe-gian fishing-boat. "We have all earned a lot of money this season," the man said," and we want to buy cars. "
Naturally, the second salesman was delighted.

The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜剧) ,that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical( 典型的)American way of life, except for one thing--he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation´s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to " serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman,who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles,could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. In-stead,Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic( 经典).
The film is 100% American. However, if you´ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job run-ning the country than the people in power, then you´ll enjoy Dave!
