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!'





上星期我去看 戏。我的座位很好。发挥是很有趣的。我不喜欢它。一
青年男子与一年轻女子坐在我的身后。
他 们在大声地说话。
我很生气。
我听不见演员。我转过身。
我看着那个男人和女人生气。 他们没有注
意。最后，我忍不住了。我又一次转过身去。

的 谈话！

just arrived by train,'

she said. 'I'm coming to see you.'

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. Everyday I thought about
postcards. My holidays

passed quickly, but I did not send 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!

enters for 'The

Joe's garden is more

interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a

too, and I always win a

little prize for the worst garden in the town!

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.

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!'

回答。
除了几个单词外，

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 No Parking area. 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!

们街上的标牌。谨 此提请注意。
”如果你收到这样的请求，你不可能
不服从！

often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a

red dress and long

black stockings. Last year in another play,

wear
short socks and a
bright,

orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always

be terrible to be grown up!'

'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my

'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.





I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.





'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.





'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.





Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.





'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.





'Certainly,' the girl said.





I went back to the ticket office at once.

20 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!






钓鱼是我最喜欢的运动。我经常一钓 数小时却一无所获。但这并不
使我烦恼。有些垂钓者就是不走运。他们往往鱼钓不到，却钓上来旧
靴子和垃圾。
我甚至不幸运。
我什么东西也未钓到过——就连旧靴子
也没有。在河上 呆上整整一上午，然后空着袋子回家。
”你必须放弃
钓鱼！
”我的朋友说。
” 这是浪费时间。
”然而他们没有认识到重要的
一点。
我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣。我感兴趣的只是坐在船上什么都
没做！


21 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 years ago, 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.












飞机正在慢慢地把我逼疯了。我住在 一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜
不绝于耳。
机场是许多年前建的，
但由于某种原因当时没 有能够使用。
去年，
然而，
它开始使用。
超过一百的人肯定是被噪音逼得离家 远去。
我是少数留下来的人中的一个。
有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的
飞机撞倒。 有人曾向我提供一大笔钱走了，但我决定留在这儿。大家
都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her

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
little more, but they will

certainly travel faster.












我的女儿，< br>简，
从来没有想过会收到一封来自荷兰同龄女孩。
去年，
当我们横渡英吉利海峡 时，
简把一张写有姓名和地址的纸放进一个瓶
子。她把瓶子扔到海里。她再也没有想过它，但是 十个月后，她收到
了一封来自荷兰的女孩。现在两个女孩经常给对方写信。然而，他们
还是决定 利用邮局。这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得。


23 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.












我收到我妹妹的一封信昨天。她住在尼日利亚。在她的信中，她说

房子是五个月
前完工。在我的信中，我告诉她，她可以和我们住在一起。这 栋房子
里有许多房间，还有一个漂亮的花园。这是一个非常现代化的住宅，
因此在有些人看来很 古怪。
它必须是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅。




24 If 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

25 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 person
speaks a different

language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them!
Do they speak

English?

26 The best art critics
最佳艺术评论家


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 are 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

soon as this was

done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the
food smelled good.

After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the campfire.

began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put 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

a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has

31 Success story
成功者的故事


Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as
a young man.

Before he retired, Frank was 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 1958 he bought a small
workshop of his own. In his

twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had
two helpers. In a few

years the small workshop 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 grandson's bicycle!

32 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!

to her. One

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.

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 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.
