It’s a pleasant
dream, but everything
depends on “if”!
by
train. Sally was very excited because she had
never traveled on a train before. She sat near
the
window and asked questions about
everything she
saw. Suddenly, a middle-aged
lady got on the train
and sat opposite Sally.
“Hull, little girl.” She said. Sally did not
answer,
but looked at her curiously.
The
lady was dressed in a blue coat and a large,
funny hat. After the train had left the
station, the
lady opened her handbag and took
out her powder
compact(粉盒). She then began to
make up her
face.
“Why are you doing
that?” Sally asked.
“To make myself
beautiful,” the lady answered.
She put away
her compact and smiled kindly.
“But you are
still ugly.” Sally said. Sally was
amused, but
I was very embarrassed!
Lesson143 A walk
through the woods
I live in a very old town
which is surrounded by
beautiful woods. It is
a famous beauty spot（风景
地点）. On Sundays,
hundreds of people come
from the city to see
our town and to walk through
the woods.
Visitors have been asked to keep the
woods
clean and tidy. Litter-baskets have been
placed under the trees, but people still throw
their
rubbish everywhere. Last Wednesday, I
went for a
walk in the woods. What I saw made
me very sad.
Lesson139 Is that you, John?
Mr. Grimes: Is that you, John?
John Smith:
Yes, speaking.
Mr. Grimes: Tell Mary we shall
be late for dinner
this evening.
John
Smith: I’m afraid I don’t understand.
Mr.
Grimes: Hasn’t Mary told you? She invited
betty and me to dinner this evening. I
said I would be at your house at six
o’clock, but the boss wants me to do
some
extra work. I’ll have to stay at
the office. I
don’t know when I shall
finish. Oh, and by the
way, my wife
wants to know if Mary needs any
help.
John Smith: I don’t know what you’re
talking
about.
Mr. Grimes: That is John
Smith, isn’t it?
John Smith: Yes, I’m John
Smith.
Mr. Grimes: You are John Smith, the
engineer,
aren’t you?
John Smith: That’s
right.
Mr. Grimes: You
John Smith:
work for the Overseas
Engineering Company,
don’t you?
No, I don’t. I’m John Smith the
telephone engineer and I’m repairing
your
telephone line.
Lesson141 Sally’s first
train ride
Last week, my four year old
daughter, Sally, was
invited to a children’s
party. I decided to take her
I counted seven
old cars and three old refrigerators.
The
litter-baskets were empty and the ground was
covered with pieces of paper, cigarette-ends,
old
tyres, empty bottles and rusty tins. Among
the
rubbish I found a sign which said:” Anyone
who
leaves litter in these woods will be
prosecuted.(处
罚)”!
