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 cant hear a word! I said angrily. Its 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.

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6个月了，他是一名工程师，目前他在做一个较大的工程，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,是澳大利亚的一个中心小镇，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，Scott先生已经发送了很多关于备件的请求和一些紧急的信息从一个汽修站到另一个汽修站。通过这种方式，他已经拥有了他自己的私人电话服务。Lesson 6 Percy Buttons 珀西巴顿斯I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street.

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 g:d 看守at the door, two others opened the parcel.

Nearly everybody enters for The Nicest Garden Competition each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Friths garden is larger than Joes. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joes 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!Joe Sanders的花园是我们镇上最漂亮的花园，最近每个人都在准备每年的举办的最美花园的比赛，而且Joe每次都会赢的比赛，Bill Frith 的花园大于Joe的花园，Bill要比Joe 要努力一些，种了很多的花朵和蔬菜，但Joe的花园会更加的有趣，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, Its 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.

The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged /损坏/by a visitor. She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings /线/were broken.

Harry worked in a lawyers 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!当Harry Steele进来时，我正在酒店吃晚餐，Harry几年前在律师事务所工作，但是现在他是银行上班了，他有着一份很不错的薪水，但他还是跟他的朋友们借钱，而且从来都没有还过，他看到我后，走过来然后做了下来。他从来没有找我借过钱，所以当他在吃饭的时候，我让他借我2美金。出乎意外的是，他立即就把钱给我了，Harry说我从来没有找你借过钱，所以，现在你要付我的餐费了。Lesson 12 Goodbye and good luck 再见，一路顺风Our neighbour, Captain Charles Alison, will sail from Portsmouth tomorrow.

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。除了几句话，我其他的法语都不会了，在整个旅途中，我们俩都没有交谈。当我快要开到小镇的时候，这个年轻人忽然用英语说真慢，“你会说英文”很快我意识到，他是英国人。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. Dont interrupt, he Said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &100 a year!秘书告诉我，H想要见我。当我进到他房间的时候，我感觉到很焦灼。当我进去的时候，他的头没有从桌子上离开。我坐下之后，他说生意很糟糕，他告诉我公司不能支付那么多薪水了。20人已经离开了，我知道轮到我了，H先生，我微微的说道，不要打断我，他说，然后他笑了笑说，我将增加额外的100美金一年。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 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!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。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/怨恨/ of this/尽管如此/, 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!我的阿姨Jennifer是一个女演员，她至少有35岁了，尽管如此，她在舞台上的时候就像一个小女孩一样，她将参演一个新剧，这次，她将饰演一个17岁的女孩，在这部剧中，她出现时必须穿着亮红色的裙子和黑色的长袜，去年在另外一个剧中，她不得不穿短袜和亮色的橘黄色的裙子，假如有人问她多大年龄，她总会回答说，亲爱的，变老肯定会非常可怕。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 wasnt 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 cant pay the bill. I havent 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. Im 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，小站的老板来了，食物还满意吗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.Im sorry, weve 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 Wednesdays 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. Its a waste of time. But they dont realize one important thing. Im 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 managers office and sat down. I had just lost &50 and I felt very upset. I left the money in my room, I said, and its not there now. The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. Everyones 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 gentlemans 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. Youll soon learn English! he said. I wonder. In England, each man speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I dont 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. Im hanging this picture on the wall, I answered. Its a new one. Do you like it ? She looked at it critically for a moment. Its all right, she said, but isnt 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 fi
