.1/9 Lesson 38 Everything except the weather 唯独没有考虑到天气 Why did Harrison sell his house so quickly?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 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.参考译文 我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区.过去他常幻想退休后到英国,并计划在乡间安顿下来.他刚一回到英国便买下了一幢房子住了进去.但紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气了.因为即使那时仍为夏季,但雨总是下个不停,而且常常冷得厉害.在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到惊奇.他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样.最后,他再也忍受不住,还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子,离开了这个国家.他多年来的幻想从此破灭.哈里森把每件事情都考虑到了,唯独没想到天气.New

party?Do you get really shy?Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when youre around other people.Experts have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention.Some kids are born shy.Some become shy later because of their life experiences.Its OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact,.9/9 everybody gets a little shy sometimes.Its just a case of how much.Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy.But some become so shy that they wont go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill.Some are afraid of meeting new people,so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesnt stop you from doing something you want to do,being shy isnt a very big problem.Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less.Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people.Some great people in history were shy,too.You see,being shy isnt all bad.But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it!If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise your spoken English in front of others,just do it!Theres nothing to be afraid of.Shyness Meaning To feel 1.or frightened Causes To be the 2.of attention To be born shy To have3.experiences Effects 4.effects To have red 5.To talk in 6.sentences To be7.of meeting new people Good effects To be quieter and 8.To be good at 9.with others Advice To
