25、an amusing experience last year. 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 langua

32、errible to be grown up! Lesson 18 He often does this! 他经常干这种事！ After I had had lunch at a village pub, 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 landlord came in. Did you have a good meal? he asked. Yes, thank you, I answered,

33、but I cant pay the bill. I havent got my bag. The landlord 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.

34、d. 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.

I might as well have them, I said sadly. Lesson 20 One man in a boat独坐孤舟 Fishing is my favourite sport. I often f

36、ish 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 emp

37、ty 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! Lesson 21 Mad or not? 是不是疯了 Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an

38、airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, 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 th

39、ink 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. Lesson 22 A glass envelope玻璃信封 My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl o

40、f 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 wri

41、te to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

42、t 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 ga

43、rden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.

46、refully, 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 s

47、poke 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 person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I dont understand them! Do they speak English?
