He often asked people to work on his farm, but most people didnt want to work on farms along the coast because they worried about the bad storms from the sea. Finally, a short thin man, about forty, got to the farm. “Are you a good farmhand(农工)?” the farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows.” answered the little man. Although surprised by this answer, the farmer still had to take the man. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from morning to night, and the farmer felt pleased with the mans work.Then one night the wind cried loudly outside. Jumping out of bed, the farmer took a lamp(灯) and rushed next door to the farmhands sleeping. He shook the little man and shouted, “Get up! A storm is coming! Get everything ready before they are blown away!”The little man lay in bed and said calmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows.” Angry at the answer, the farmer decided to let him go away. He hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his surprise, he found that all of the things had been covered with tarpaulins(防水油布). The cows were in their houses, the chickens were in the coops, too. Everything was ready for the wind. Nothing could be blown away.The farmer then understood what the little man had meant, so he also went back to his bed to sleep while the wind was still blowing. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life? The farmhand in this story was able to sleep because he did well in his work and kept the farm safe in the storm.

He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part-close to six thousand dollars. The robber snatched them and turned to leave.Then while everyone watched the robber, George calmly lifted the top part of the money-box, took hills from the bottom part and put them into his own pocket secretly. The door was shut and the bank robber was gone. George fainted. As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George counted the money. He had eight thousand dollars. He was very happy. The next morning, while the others were examining the banks records, George was called into Mr. Burrows office and was introduced to Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of the bank. “Good morning, George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed, too.

You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century.
