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 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 !
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.
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.
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.
Lesson 7 Too late
为时太晚

The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all
morning. They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamond from
South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that
thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived,
some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while
others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the
plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives
were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To
their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!
Lesson 8 The best and the worst
最好的和最差的

Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly
everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but
Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works
harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's
garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a
wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard
work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always
win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
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.
Lesson 10 Not for jazz
不适于演奏爵士乐

We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord(
翼琴
).
It was made in Germany in 1681. Our clavichord is kept in the
living- room. It has belong to our family for a long time. The instrument
was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was
damaged by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys
too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked.
Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of
my father's.
Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another
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 me. While he was
eating, I asked him to lend me &2. To my surprise, he gave me the
money immediately. 'I have never borrowed any money from you,'
Harry said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'
Lesson 12 Goodbye and good luck
再见，一路顺风

Our ncighbour, Captain Charles Alison, will sail from Portsmouth
tomorrow. We shall meet him at the harbour early in the morning. He
will be in his small boat, l is a famous little boat. It has
sailed across the Atlantic many times. Captain Alison will set out at
eight o'clock so we shall have plenty of time. We shall see his boat
and then we shall say good-bye to him. He will be away for two
months. We are very proud of him. He will take part in an important
race across the Atlantic.
Lesson 13 The Greenwood Boys
绿林少年

The Greenwood Boys are a group of popular singers. At present,
they are visiting all parts of the country. They will be arriving here
tomorrow. They will be coming by train and most of the young
people in the town will be meeting them at the station. Tomorrow
evening they will be singing at the Workers' Club. The Greenwood
Boys will be staying for five days. During this time, they will give five
performances. As usual, the police will have a difficult time. They will
be trying to keep order. It is always the same on these occasions.
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!
Lesson 15 Good news
佳音

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 would receive an extra &100 a
year!
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
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!
Lesson 17 Always young
青年常驻

My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five
years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young
girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, 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.'
Lesson19 Sold out
票已售完

'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
'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.
'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 a small river that cuts across the park near my
home. I like sitting by the Wayle on 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.
Lesson34 Quick work
破案
“
神速
”

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.
Lesson36 Across the Channel
横渡海峡

Erna Hart is going to swim across the English Channel tomorrow.
She is going to set out from the French coast at five o'clock in the
morning. Erna is only fourteen years old and she hopes lo set up a
new world record. She is a strong swimmer and many people feel that
she is sure to succeed. Erna's father will set out with her in a small
boat. Mr Hart has trained his daughter for years. Tomorrow he will be
watching her anxiously as she swims the long distance to England.
Erna intends to take short rests every two hours. She will have
something to drink 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 the end of next year, they
will have finished work on the new stadium. The fine modern buildings
have been 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
seeing it ?' ' No,' she answered. 'Will you 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 one of my old
bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big
surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the
prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some
time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in
your spare time and read the carpet!'
Lesson53 Hot snake
触电的蛇

At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since
then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fire
are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people
carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground
carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also
quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning,
however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the
remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a
16,000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery.
The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up
the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The
snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks
down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.
Lesson54 Sticky fingers
粘糊的手指

After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to
market. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at
school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I
decided to make some tarts for tea. In a short time I was busy mixing
butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry.
At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been
more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers
and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Mrs Bates. It took
me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up
the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the
telephone, and on the door-knobs. I had no sooner got back to the
kitchen than the door- bell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This
time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered
letter !
Lesson55 Not a gold mine
并非金矿

Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new
machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been
used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The
