I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth-so I decided that myapproachmust be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry. Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenlythe penny dropped.“I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you repair this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But III repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.31 .

The other frogs kept telling them to stop, the hole was too deep, they would die, it was no use to try. Finally, one of the frogs followed what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs shouted at him to stop and just wait to die. He jumped even harder until finally he succeeded(成功). The other frogs were surprised and said, Didnt you hear us? The frog told them that he was deaf and that he thought they were encouraging（鼓励） him all the time.The story teaches us a lesson: There is the power（力量）of life and death in the language we use, and in what we say, and in how we say it.So be careful of what you say.34 .

The Internet has become so popular that 90 percent (百分比) of 12- to 17-year-olds in the United States use the Internet, and about half of these kids use it every day. They visit chat rooms and send e-mails. They go to website to get information for their homework. “Kids are now living in a virtual (虚拟的) world,” says Greenfield an expert (专家) at University of California. “As the Internet is becoming more and more important for our life, we should worry about one question: Is the Internet good or bad for kids?”“Its to answer the question because the Internet involves (涉及) so many things,” says Justine, who is from Northwestern University. “They include online computer games, news, messages and even e-mails to your grandmother.” So more and more people believe that the online world can be helpful in some ways, but dangerous in others.“Although its not easy to tell whether (是否) its good or bad,” says Justine, “the Internet, at least, is very useful and can be used widely by everyone in the world.38 .

When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth.At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 oclock in the morning and sets at 6 oclock in the evening. For six months the North Pole(北极) is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.43 .
