Lesson 1 A private conversation
私人谈话

Last week
I went to the
theatre. I had a very good seat.
The play was
very interesting.
I did
not
enjoy
it.
A
young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear
the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the
end,
I
could
not
bear
it.
I
turned
round
again.
'I
can't
hear
a
word!'
I
said
angrily.
'
It's
none
of
your
business,'
the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'.
Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch?
早餐还是午餐？


It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time.
Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside.
'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy.' I've just
arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.' 'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said.
'What are you doing ?' she asked. ' I'm having breakfast,' I repeated.
'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late ? It's one o'clock!''
Lesson 3 Please send me a card
请给我寄一张明信片


Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums/
博物馆
/ and sat in public
gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of
Italian. 'Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but
I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send
any cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards.
I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card !
明 信片总会消耗着我的度假时间。去年夏天，我去了意大利，参观完毕博物馆后我坐在公共公园里，一个友善的作家 教会我
一些意大利语，然后他借给我一本书，我看了几行，但是我一个字都不认识，每天我想着关于明信 片的事情，我的假期渡过

的异常的快，但是 我没有寄给我的朋友半张明信片，这是我在昨天晚上做的最大的决定，我起了很早，买了
37
张 明信片。我
整整花费了一天的时间在房间里，但是我没有写一张卡片。

Lesson 4 An exciting trip
激动人心的旅行

I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim
is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in
Australia.
He
has
just
bought
an
Australian
car
and
has
gone
to
Alice
Springs,
a
small
town
in
the
centre
of
Australia.
He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth.
My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.
我仅仅就收到过一封我弟弟，
Tim
的来信。他居住在澳大利亚，他在那边已经到了< br>6

一个较大的工程，他已经参观了一些澳大利亚的 不同的地方，他买了一辆澳大利亚的汽车去到
Alice
Springs,

一个中心小镇，他将去拜访
Darwin,
从这里他再飞去
Perth.
我的弟弟之前一直没有去过国外，因此他觉得这次的旅行非常的
激动人心。

Lesson 5 No wrong numbers
无错号之虞


Mr James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only
five miles from Silbury, but Mr Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve
pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance
in three minutes. Up to now, Mr Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages
from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.
Mr
James
Scott
有一间汽车修理站在锡尔伯里，现在他在平赫斯特又买了一个新的汽车修理站，平赫斯特距离锡尔伯里只有
5
英里远，但是
Mr Scott
没有弄到一个电话为他的新修理站，所以你买了< br>12
只鸽子，昨天一只鸽子邮了从平赫斯特到锡尔
伯里的第一封信息，鸽子一般
3
分钟可以覆盖全程，现在，

Lesson 6 Percy Buttons
珀西·巴顿斯

I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at my door. He asked me for a meal and
a glass of beer. In return for this, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs. I gave him a meal. He ate the
food and drank the beer. Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away. Later a neighbour told me
about him. Everybody knows him. His name is Percy Buttons. He calls at every house in the street once a month
and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.
我刚刚把房子搬到桥 街，昨天一个乞丐敲了我的门，他问我要了一餐饭和一杯啤酒，作为回报他倒立着唱歌，我给他了一份
饭 ，他吃完食物喝了一杯啤酒，然后拿了一片芝士放到他的口袋里离开了。后来我的令居告诉我关于他的事情，这里 的每一
个人都知道他，他叫
Percy Buttons.
他每个月都会叫这条街上每家给他一餐饭和一杯啤酒。

Joe
要努力一些，种了很多的花朵和蔬菜，但
Joe

有趣，他整理一条整洁 的小路，在小水池上搭一个木桥。我也很喜欢花园，但是我不喜欢努力工作。我每年也参加最美花园
比赛 ，但是我每次都是得到最差花园的奖金。

Lesson 9 A cold welcome
冷遇

On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had
gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and
then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing
happened. Suddenly
someone
shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The
clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch.
It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment everybody began to laugh and sing.
在周三的晚上，

礼尚往来

I was having dinner at a restaurant when Harry Steele came in. Harry worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but
he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays
it
back.
Harry
saw
me
and
came
and
sat
at
the
same
table.
He
has
never
borrowed
money
from

Lesson 14 Do you speak English?
你会讲英语吗？

I had an amusing experience last year.
After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to
the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got
into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words,
I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the
young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!
去年我有过一段非常有趣的经历，在我离开法国南部的小城镇时， 我驾车到下一个城镇，在路上，一个年轻人向我摇手。我
停下来了他请求让我带他一程，这时他就尽可能 快到进到车里，用法语向他说了早上好，他也用相同的语言回复了我。除了

Lesson 15 Good news

The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when. I went into his office. He did
not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me
that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn
had
come.
'Mr.
Harmsworth,'
I
said
in
a
weak
voice.
'Don't
interrupt,'
he
Said.
Then
he
smiled
and
told
me
I

Lesson 16 A polite request
彬彬有礼的要求

If you park your car in
the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets
you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During
a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car:' Sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a
You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you
receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
如果你把你的车停在了错误的位子上，交警会马上发现他，如有你 没有接到罚单，那么你就是非常幸运了。然而，这个不是
经常发生的，交警有时候是很有礼貌的，在瑞士 的一个假期中，我在我的车上发现一张纸条，先生欢迎你来到我们的城市，
这里不是停车区。如果你留意 下一下街道标识你可以享受这里。这个纸条只是一个提醒。假如你收到像这样的请求，你也不
会再去违反 了。

she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.
Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked
her how old she is, she always answers, 'My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!'

lesson18 He often does this!

他经常干这种事！

After I had had lunch at a village inn, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and now
it wasn't there ! As I was looking for it, the inn-keeper came in. 'Did you have a good meal ?' he asked. 'Yes,
thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.' The inn-keeper smiled and immediately
went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me. 'I'm very sorry,' he said ' My dog
had taken it into the garden. He often does this.'
在我在乡村小站吃完午餐后，我找了找我的包，我把它放在了靠在门边的椅子上，现在它不见了，当我在找的时 候，小站的

Just then, a man hurried to the ticket-office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
'Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked.
'Certainly, 'the girl said, 'but they are for next Wednesday's performance.
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
Lesson20 One man in a boat
独坐孤舟

Fishing
is
my
favourite
sport.
I
often
fish
for
hours
without
catching
anything.
But
this
does
not
worry
me.
Some
fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never
catch
anything-not
even
old
boots.
After
having
spent
whole
mornings
on
the
river,
I
always
go
home
with
an
empty
bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.' It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important
thing. I'm not really interested in fishing.
I
am only interested in sitting in a boat
and doing nothing at all !
Lesson21 Mad or not?
是不是疯了？

Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The
airport
was built during the war, but for some reason it could not
be used then. Last year, however, it came
into
use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people
left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of
money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
Lesson22 A glass envelope
玻璃信封

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were
travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She
threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from

a
girl
in
Holland.
Both
girls
write
to
each
other
regularly
now.
However,
they
have
decided
to
use
the
post-office.
Letters will cost a litt1e more, but they will certainly travel faster.
Lesson23 A new house
新居

I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to
England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now
living in a beautiful new house in the
country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I
told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very
modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.
Lesson24 It could be worse
不幸中之万幸

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost &50 and I felt very upset.' I left the money
in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's
losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock
at
the
door.
A
girl
came
in
and
put
an
envelope
on
his
desk.
It
contained
&5o.
'I
found
this
outside
this
gentleman's
room' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world !'
lesson25 Do the English speak English?
英国人讲的是英语吗？

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel,
so
I
asked
a
porter.
I
not
only
spoke
English
very
carefully,
but
very
clearly
as
well.
The
porter,
however,
could
not understand me; I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke
neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him.
My
teacher
never
spoke
English
like
that!
The
porter
and
I
looked
at
each
other
and
smiled.
Then
he
said
something
and
I
understood
it.
'You'll
soon
learn
English!'
he
said.
I
wonder.
In
England,
each
man
speaks
a
different
language.
The English understand each other, but I don't understand them ! Do they speak English ?

lesson26 The best art critics
最佳美术评论家

I
am
an
art
student
and
I
paint
a
lot
of
pictures.
Many
people
pretend
that
they
understand
modern
art.
They
always
tell
you
what
a
picture
is
'about'.
Of
course,
many
pictures
arc
not
'about'
anything.
They
are
just
pretty
patterns.
We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate
modern
pictures
better
than
anyone
else.
They
notice
more.
My
sister
is
only
seven,
but
she
always
tells
me
whether
my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. ' What are you doing ?' she asked. ' I'm hanging
this
picture
on
the
wall,'
I
answered.
'It's
a
new
one.
Do
you
like
it
?'
She
looked
at
it
critically
for
a
moment.'
It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside-down ?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was!
Lesson27 A wet night
雨夜

Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was
done, they cooked
a meal over an
open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelt good.
After a wonderful meal,
they told
stories
and sang songs by the camp fire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they pet out the
fire and crept into their tent.
Their sleeping-bags were warm and
comfortable,
so they all slept soundly. In
the
middle of
the
night, two boys
woke up and began
shouting.
The
tent was
full of water!
They
all
leapt out of their
sleeping-bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field.
The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent!
Lesson28 No parking
禁止停车

Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. He has just bought a new house in the
city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with motorists. when he returns home at night, he always
finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car
into
his
garage
even
once.
Jasper
has
put
up'
No
Parking'
signs
outside
his
gate,
but
these
have
not
had
any
effect.
Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him

what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. Jasper hopes that she will turn motorists to stone.
But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
Lesson29 Taxi!
出租汽车！

Captain
Ben
Fawcett
has
bought
an
unusual
taxi
and
has
begun
a
new
service.
The
'taxi'
is
a
small
Swiss
aeroplane
called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it,
however,
is
that
it
can
land
anywhere:
on
snow,
water,
or
even
on
a
ploughed
field.
Captain
Fawcett's
first
passenger
was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett
has
flown
passengers
to
many
unusual
places.
Once
he
landed
on
the
roof
of
a
block
of
flats
and
on
another
occasion,
he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man
wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because
the trip was too dangerous.
Lesson30
Football or polo?
足球还是水球？

The
Wayle
is

I

fine
afternoons.
It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. Some children were playing games on the
bank and there were some people rowing on the river. Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and
it went towards a passing boat. Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear
them.
The
ball struck him so hard
that
he nearly fell
into the
water. I
turned to
look at the children, but there
weren't any in sight: they had all run away! The man laughed when he realized what had happened. He called out
to the children and threw the ball back to the bank.
Lesson31 Success story
成功者的故事

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Frank is now the head of
a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles

and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1938 he bought a small
work-shop
of
his
own.
During
the
war
Frank
used
to
make
spare
parts
for
aeroplanes.
At
that
time
he
had
two
helpers.
By
the
end
of
the
war,
the
small
work-shop
had
become
a
large
factory
which
employed
seven
hundred
and
twenty-eight
people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling
when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their son's bicycle!
Lesson32 Shopping made easy
购物变得很方便

People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in
large
shops.
A
detective
recently
watched
a
well-dressed
woman
who
always
went
into
a
large
store
on
Monday
mornings.
One
Monday,
there
were
fewer
people
in
the
shop
than
usual
when
the
woman
came
in,
so
it
was
easier
for
the
detective
to
watch
her.
The
woman
first
bought
a
few
small
articles.
After
a
little
time,
she
chose
one
of
the
most
expensive
dresses
in
the
shop
and
handed
it
to
an
assistant
who
wrapped
it
up
for
her
as
quickly
as
possible.
Then
the
woman
simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out
that the shop-assistant was her daughter. The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !
lesson33 Out of the darkness
冲出黑暗

Nearly a week passed before
the girl
was able to explain what had happened to
her. One
afternoon she set
out from
the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped
into
the
sea.
Then
she
swam
to
the
shore
after
spending
the
whole
night
in
the
water.
During
that
time
she
covered
a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because
the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light
she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

Ted Robinson has been worried all the week. Last Tuesday he received a letter
from the local police. In the
letter he was asked to call at the station. Ted wondered
why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the
station yesterday and now he is not worried any more. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that
his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village
four
hundred
miles
away.
It
is
now
being
sent
to
his
home
by
train.
Ted
was
most
surprised
when
he
heard
the
news.
He was
amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Ted
was a boy of fifteen !
Lesson35
Stop thief!
捉贼！

Rov Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus-driver and he was not regretted
it. He is finding his new work far more exciting. When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two
thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted
quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the
bag.
As
the
thieves
were
trying
to
get
away
in
their
car,
Roy
drove
his
bus
into
the
back
of
it.
While
the
battered
car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy
to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

but she will not eat any solid food. Most of Erna's school friends will be waiting for her on the English coast.
Among them will be Erna's mother, who swam the Channel herself when she was a girl.
Lesson37 The Olympic Games
奥林匹克运动会

The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time. As a great many people will be visiting the
country,
the
government
will
be
building
new
hotels,
an
immense
stadium,
and
a
fine
new
swimming
pool.
'They
will
also be building new roads and a special railway-line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the
whole area will be called 'Olympic City'. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By

designed
by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are
looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.
Lesson38 Everything except the weather
惟独没有考虑到天气

My
old
friend,
Harrison,
had
lived
in
the
Mediterranean
for
many
years
before
he
returned
to
England.
He
had
often
dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he
bought a fine house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even
though
it
was
still
summer,
it
rained
continually
and
it
was
often
bitterly
cold.
After
so
many
years
of
sunshine,
Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could
bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had
for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.
Lesson39 Am I all right?
我是否痊愈？

While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful,
but the doctor refused to do so. The following day, the patient asked for a bedside

telephone. When he was
alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. When the doctor answered the phone,

Mr Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr John Gilbert. He asked if Mr Gilbert's operation
had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr Gilbert would be allowed to
go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hospital for another two weeks. Then Dr Millington
asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient.' No,' the patient answered,' I am Mr John Gilbert.'
Lesson40 Food and talk
进餐与交谈

Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs Rumbold. Mrs Rumbold was a large, unsmiling
lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her
plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.

' A new play is coming to
be spending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked. ' No,' she answered.
' Will you be staying in England?' I asked. ' No,' she answered.

In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
' Young man,' she answered,' if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner !'
lesson41 Do you call that a hat?
你把那个叫帽子吗？

'Do you call that a hat ?' I said to my wife. 'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked
at herself in the mirror. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in
the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
' We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
'You
needn't
have
said
that,'
my
wife
answered.'
I
need
not
remind
you
of
that
terrible
tie
you
bought
yesterday.'
' I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.'
'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse !

Lesson42 Not very musical
并非很懂音乐

As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After
a time, we noticed a snake-charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have
a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the
baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began
to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play
jazz tunes and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell
the difference between Indian music and jazz!
Lesson43 Over the South Pole
飞越南极

In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R. E. Byrd, successfully flew
over
the
South
Pole
for
the
first
time.
Though,
at
first,
Byrd
and
his
men
were
able
to
take
a
great
many
photographs
of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their
plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men
to throw out two heavy
food sacks. The plane was then
able to rise
and
it cleared
the
mountains
by 400 feet. Byrd
now knew that
he would
be able to
reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there
were
no more mountains
in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.
Lesson44 Through the forest
穿过森林

Mrs Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had
rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her
handbag.
In
the
struggle,
the
strap
broke
and,
with
the
bag
in
their
possession,
both
men
started
running
through
the trees. Mrs Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to
run. When
she
caught up
with them, she saw
that
they had sat down and were going through the contents
of the bag,

so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. 'The strap
needs
mending,' said Mrs Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'
Lesson45 A clear conscience
问心无愧

The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost. Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost
his wallet while taking his savings to the post- office. Sam was sure that the wallet must have been found by one
of
the
villagers,
but
it
was
not
returned
to
him.
Three
months
passed,
and
then
one
morning,
Sam
found
his
wallet
outside
his
front
door.
It
had
been
wrapped
up
in
newspaper
and
it
contained
half
the
money
he
had
lost,
together
with a note which said:
'A thief,
yes, 'but only 5o per cent a
thief!'
Two months
later, some more money was sent
to Sam with another note:' Only 25 per cent a thief now!' In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way.
The last note said:' I am 100 per cent honest now!'
lesson46 Expensive and uncomfortable
既昂贵又受罪

When
a
plane
from
London
arrived
at
Sydney
airport,
workers
began
to
unload
a
number
of
wooden
boxes
which
contained
clothing. No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. It suddenly occurred to
one of the workers to open up the box. He was astonished at what he found. A man was lying in the box on top of
a pile of woollen goods. He was so surprised at being discovered that he did not even try to run away. After he
was
arrested,
the
man
admitted
hiding
in
the
box
before
the
plane
left
London.
He
had
had
a
long
and
uncomfortable
trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for over ten hours. The man was ordered to pay
&345 for the cost
of the trip. The normal price of a ticket is &230 !
Lesson47 A thirsty ghost
嗜酒的鬼魂

A
public
house
which
was
recently
bought
by
Mr
Ian
Thompson
is
up
for
sale.
Mr
Thompson
is
going
to
sell
it
because
it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from
the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved.

Though Mr Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said
that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested
that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him
that they will not accept the inn even if he gives it away.
Lesson48 Did you want to tell me something?
你想对我说什么吗？

Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist had just pulled out one of my
teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton-wool. He
knew I collected birds' eggs and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was
and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises.
Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but
could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton-wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him
that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.
Lesson49 The end of a dream
美梦告终

Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time
in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very
hot,
he
carried
the
bed
on
to
the
roof
of
his
house.
He
slept
very
well
for
the
first
two
nights,
but
on
the
third
night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.
The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the
man
was
miraculously
unhurt.
When
he
woke
up,
he
was
still
on
the
mattress.
Glancing
at
the
bits
of
wood
and
metal
that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he
had put it
on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.
Lesson50 Taken for a ride
乘车兜风

I love travelling in the country, but I don't like losing my way. I went on an excursion recently, but my trip
took me longer than I expected.
' I'm going to Woodford Green,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus,'
but I don't know where it is.' ' I'll tell you where to get off,' answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking
round, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.

' You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said. 'This is as far as we go.' ' Is this Woodford Green ?' I
asked. 'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly.' I forgot to put you off.' 'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get
off
here.'
'We
are
going
back
now,'
said
the
conductor.
'Well,
in
that
case,
I
prefer
to
stay
on
the
bus,'
I
answered.
Lesson51 Reward for virtue
对美德的奖赏

My friend, Herbert, has
always been fat, but things got so bad
recently
that he decided to
go on a diet. He began
his
diet
a
week
ago.
First
of
all,
he
wrote
out
a
long
list
of
all
the
foods
which
were
forbidden.
The
list
included
most of the things Herbert loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate, and sweets. Yesterday I paid
him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Herbert was still as fat as ever. He led me into
his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I
asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet
was
so
strict
that
he
had
to
reward
himself
occasionally.
Then
he
showed
me
the
contents
of
the
parcel.
It
contained
five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
Lesson52 A pretty carpet
漂亮的地毯

We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new
room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is
rather
small,
so
I
have
temporarily
put
my
books
on
the
floor.
At
the
moment,
they
cover
every
inch
of
floor
space
and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry
