19、young son a game. ' He s only ten. ' she said, I've been told that he plays quite well.'"Well, as you can guess, I wasn't too happy. A player likes the opponent（ 对手）to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board（ 棋盘）in the garde

20、n. I hoped it would be quick-and so it was.”I soon knew that David Prig was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall. The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece（棋子）without care. I gave my attention to the board.”Call me when you

21、 are ready, Mr. Watson,“ he said.When I was ready, I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board, and found I was driven into corner.

26、BThere are plenty of possible reasons why you don't have any flowers near you. Perhaps, youjust don't like them. Or maybe someone nearby doesn 't. Maybe you re at work, and flowers are not allowed. Assuming（假定）the problem is only that you don't have time to go out and get flowers,you

27、 may be surprised to learn just how easy it actually is.It s good to get flowers for yourself, but even better to be given them. I m sure you know this, just as I'm sure there s someone special in your life who feels the same way. So why not take the chance to make someone happy, and get them so

28、me flowers? I know, you would, but it s just too much trouble. Well, that s where you Ye wrong!It s a good excuse, and while it might have worked in the past, I m afraid it doesn 't work any more. Perhaps you are really too busy to go into town and get some flowers. On the other hand, the fact t

29、hat you are reading this clearly shows that you have enough time to go online. Nowadays, you can buy anything pretty well online, and yes that includes flowers.By the way, there s another point to consider here.Price. I'm sure you ve noticed that you can usually get things cheaper if you buy onl

30、ine, and flowers are no exception（ 例夕卜）.For the same price as a few roses, you could have a full bouquet （串, 束）of flowers picked and arranged by an expert.So why are you still here? Go online, and hunt down some flowers! There are plenty of flower shops available（可禾 1 用的）,and you should have no trou

In the past, most men worked 12 hours a day, six days a week. But today, working a 40-h

35、our week, do people enjoy more leisure time?No, at least we don 't feel it. It might because we waste half of all our leisure time watching television. A survey （调查） found that nearly three out of four adults would prefer to watch a movie at home than at the theater. A majority of the survey s r

36、espondents said they were just too busy“ to go to the theater. So if you want more free time: turn it off.The modern technology also changes the way of leisure. Technology makes it easier to get what we want. You had to go to the theatre to hear classical music before. Now with CDs or MP3,you can li

37、sten everywhere you like, but also without other audience to share your pleasure.Work-related technology can also affect leisure time and enjoyment. You can feel that your time is never entirely your own. New surveys suggest technology kills the leisure time. For centuries, we have believed that new

38、 labor saving devices （设备） will give us more time to explore the arts or visit friends and family. But technology almost never does what we expect. Almost all of us have less leisure time than ever. Computers and communication technologies are destroying the idea of leisure.According to a new study

44、s and thousands of villages where he can hide. There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself. Besides, he s usually richwith stolen money.Money can make it easier to hide. With money, the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize. Money

45、 can pay for a hideout（躲避）in some far-off place. But the criminal knows what happened to public enemies such as John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Machine Gun Kelly.

54、oduce a mucus （黏液）over their skin to keep themselves wet.Different types of frogs have different feet which are suited to their habitats and lifestyles.

56、ut suddenly, catch insects and then roll back into their mouths. Frogs actually have teeth.
