Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ‘It’s none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'.

31 Success story成功者的故事

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

昨天下午弗兰克〃霍金斯向我讲述了他年轻时的经历。在他退休之前，弗兰克是一家非常大的事务公司头，但作为一个男孩，他曾经工作在一个小商店。他的工作是修理自行车，那时他一天工作十四小时。他积蓄多年，并在1958他买了属于自己的小作坊。在他二十几岁的弗兰克曾生产飞机零配件。那时他有两个帮手。在几年的小作坊已经成为一个雇用七百二十八人的大工厂。弗兰克回想着他早年的艰难经历和走过的漫长的成功之路。他正笑着的时候，门开了，他的妻子走了进来。她叫他去修理他们孙子的自行车! 32 Shopping made easy购物变得很方便

People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week!

人们不再像以前那么诚实了。偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候——尤其是在大的商店。侦探最近注意上了一位穿着体面的女人总是在星期一上午进入一家大商场。一个星期一，有商店里的人比往常少时，女人走了进来，所以侦探比较容易监视她。这位妇女先是买了几样小物品。过了一会儿，她选择了一个商店里最昂贵的衣服，把它递给了售货员包裹它为她尽快。妇人只是包裹，走出了商店没有支付。她被逮捕后，侦探发现原来那售货员是她的女儿。这个女孩给她母亲每星期一次免费的衣服!

33 Out of the darkness 冲出黑暗

Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

几乎过了一个星期，那姑娘才能讲述自己的遭遇。一天下午，她乘小船从海岸出发，在一只小船，遇上了风暴。傍晚，船触礁了，姑娘跳进了海里。然后她游在水里度过了一整夜之后。在此期间，她游了八英里。第二天清晨，她看见前方有灯光。她知道自己已经接近岸边了因为那灯光是在高高的悬崖上。到达岸边后，姑娘挣扎着往峭壁上爬去朝着她看到的灯光。她所记得的就是这些。过了一天她醒来时，她发现自己住院。

34 Quick work破案“神速”

Dan Robinson has been worried all week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Dan wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried anymore. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train. Dan was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Dan was a boy of fifteen!

丹鲁滨孙焦虑了整整一个星期。上周二他收到当地警察局的'一封信。他在信中说要在车站。丹很奇怪为什么警察局要他去，但他昨天去了车站，现在他不再担心了。在警察局里，一位面带笑容的警察告诉他，他的自行车被找到了。五天前，警察告诉他说，那辆自行车是在一个小村子里发现四百英里远。现在它被送到他乘火车回家。但最惊讶的是当他听到这个消息。但又感到非常好笑，因为他从未指望能找到这辆自行车。这是二十年前被偷走时，丹是一个十五岁的男孩!

35 Stop thief!捉贼!

Roy Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he has not regretted it. He is finding his new work far more exciting. When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested.

罗伊特伦顿曾经开出租车。不久前，然而，他成为一名巴士司机和他不后悔。他发觉自己的新工作令人兴奋的多。当他正开车在凯特福德街最近，他看见2个贼从一家商店里跑。其中一个提着一只装满钱的袋子。罗伊行动迅速，开车直冲窃贼。一个与金钱吓了一跳，他把包。当那两个小偷企图乘车逃跑时，罗伊驾驶他的公共汽车撞在了那。当那辆被撞坏的汽车，罗伊停下来，给警察打电话。小偷的车损坏严重，很容易辨认。不久之后，警察截住了那辆汽车，两人都被逮捕了。

38 Everything except the weather唯独没有考虑到天气

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.

我的老朋友，哈里森，住在地中海多年后回到英国。过去他常幻想退休后到英国，并计划在乡间安顿下来。他一回来就买了一栋房子并在那儿住下了。他几乎马上就开始抱怨天气，因为即使那时仍为夏季，它连绵，而且常常冷得要命。在阳光下生活了那么多年，哈里森感到震惊。他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过。最后，他再也忍受不。他还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子，离开了这个国家。他做了那么许多年。哈里森以为除了天气。 39 Am I all right?我是否痊愈?

While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so. The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. When he was alone, he telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hosptial for another two weeks. Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient. 'No,' the patient answered, 'I am Mr. John Gilbert.'

当约翰〃吉尔伯特住院的时候，他问医生告诉他手术是否成功，但医生拒绝这样做。第二天，这位病人要了一个床头电话。他独自一人的时候，他给医院总机要求与米灵顿医生。当医生接电话时，吉尔伯特先生说他想询问一个病人的情况，一个名叫约翰〃吉尔伯特的先生。他问吉尔伯特先生的手术是否成功，医生告诉他手术了。然后他问吉尔伯特先生什么时候可以回家，医生告诉他，他必须在医院呆两个星期。然后米灵顿医生问打电话的人他是否是病人的亲属。”不是，”病人回答说，“我就是约翰。”

40 Food and talk进餐与交谈

Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.

'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'

'No,' she answered.

'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?' I asked.

'No,' she answered.

'Will you be staying in England?' I asked.

'No,' she answered.

In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

'Young man,' she answered, 'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!"

在上星期的一次宴会上，女主人要我坐在兰姆伯尔德夫人的旁边。兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材大，表情严肃的女人，穿一件紧身的黑衣服。她甚至不看的时候，我在她身旁坐下来。她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子，在很短的时间，她忙着吃。我试着跟她交谈。”一个新的戏剧要“球”很快，”我说。”你会去看吗?”不，”她回答说。”您今年去国外度假吗?”我问。”不，”她回答说。”您就呆在英国吗?”我问。”不，”她回答说。在绝望中，我问她是否吃得尽兴。”年轻人，”她回答说，“如果你多吃点，少说点，我们两个都会吃得好的!”

Notes on the text课文注释

1 在英语中，现在完成时主要用于以下两种情况:(1)表示在过去不确定的时间里发生的并与现在有着某种联系的动作:(2)表示开始于过去并持续到现在的动作。本课中萨姆的3句话属于第一种情况，正是因为他吃了饭、喝过了咖啡、也休过假，因此他谢绝了汤姆的邀请，并表示今年已无可能再次休假。现在完成时是由have的现在式加上过去分词组成。规则动词的过去分词与过去式相同，而不规则动词的过去分词则无统一的规律可言。从本课起不规则动词还将列出过去分词的拼写和读音。

2 I've already had lunch.注意already的语序。在一般情况下，它跟在助动词后面。

3 Excuse the mess.意思是:“乱七八糟，请原谅。”

4 have a holiday，度假。

have在不同词组中，意思不同。如:have lunch，吃午饭:have a cup of coffee，喝杯咖啡。

5 stay at home，呆在家里.注意名词home之前不加任何冠词。在诸如go home, arrive home 的`短语中，home是副词。

这3句都是祈使句。表示请求或命令的句子叫祈使句。祈使句中主语you常不出现，谓语动词用原形，句末用感叹号或句号。读时用降调。

2.I've just had a cup. 我刚喝了一杯。

21 Mad or not?是不是疯了

Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an 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 think 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.

飞机正在慢慢地把我逼疯了。我住在一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。机场是许多年前建的，但由于某种原因当时没有能够使用。去年，然而，它开始使用。超过一百的人肯定是被噪音逼得离家远去。我是少数留下来的人中的一个。有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞机撞倒。有人曾向我提供一大笔钱走了，但我决定留在这儿。大家都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。

22 A glass envelope玻璃信封

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of 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 write 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.

我的女儿，简，从来没有想过会收到一封来自荷兰同龄女孩。去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时，简把一张写有姓名和地址的纸放进一个瓶子。她把瓶子扔到海里。她再也没有想过它，但是十个月后，她收到了一封来自荷兰的女孩。现在两个女孩经常给对方写信。然而，他们还是决定利用邮局。这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得。

。最令人惊奇的是， 然而，是它能够在任何地方降落：雪，水，甚至刚耕过的田里。福塞特船长的第一名乘 客是位医生，他从伯明翰飞往一个偏僻的村庄在山。此后，福塞特上尉空运乘客到过许 多不寻常的地方。他把飞机降落在了一栋公寓楼的屋顶，在另一个场合，他降落在一个 废弃的停车场。机长福塞特刚刚拒绝了一位商人的奇怪要求。这个人想要飞往罗卡尔岛， 大西洋中的一个小岛，但福塞特机长没有带他因为这段旅程太危险了。

23 A new house新居

I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next 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 garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.

我收到我妹妹的一封信昨天。她住在尼日利亚。在她的信中，她说她明年将到英国来。如果她来，她会大吃一惊。我们的国家现在是生活在一个美丽的新房子。这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前。房子是五个月前完工。在我的信中，我告诉她，她可以和我们住在一起。这栋房子里有许多房间，还有一个漂亮的花园。这是一个非常现代化的住宅，因此在有些人看来很古怪。它必须是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅。

24 If could be worse不幸中之万幸

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'

我走进饭店经理的办公室，坐了下来。我刚刚丢了50英镑，感到非常烦恼。”我把钱放在房间里，”我说，“可现在没有了。”经理深表同情，但却无能为力。”现在大家都在丢钱，”他说。他开始抱怨起这个邪恶的世界，但却被敲门声打断了。一个姑娘走了进来，把一个信封放在了他桌上。它包含了50美元。”我先生的房门外发现了，”她说。”好吧，”我对那位经理说，“这世界上还是有诚实可言的!”

25 Do the English speak English?英国人讲的是英语吗?

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, 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 spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?

我终于到达了伦敦。火车站很大，又黑又暗。我不知道去旅馆的路，所以我问了一个搬运工。我不仅讲英语非常认真，但很清楚的。搬运工，然而，看不懂我。我把问题重复了好几遍，他终于明白了。他回答了，但他讲得既不慢也不清楚。”我是个外国人，我说。于是他说得慢了，但是我不懂他。我的老师从来不那样讲英语!搬运工和我互相看了看，笑了。然后他说了一些话，我理解它。”你会很快学会英语的!”他说。我想知道。在英国，人们各自说着一种不同的语言。英国人彼此了解，可我却不懂他们的!他们说的是英语吗?

26 The best art critics最佳艺术评论家

I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.

'What are you doing?' she asked.

'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?'

She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was!

我是个学艺术的学生，画了很多画。有很多人装成很懂现代艺术。他们总是告诉你一幅画的。当然，有很多画是什么意思也没有的。他们只不过是漂亮的图案。我们喜欢它们就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布。我觉得小孩子们往往比任何人都更能欣赏现代绘画。他们观察到的东西更多。我的妹妹只有七岁，但她总能说出我的画是好还是不好。昨天她到我房里来了。”你干什么呢。她问。”我把这幅画挂到墙上，我回答。”这是一个新的。你喜欢吗。她用挑剔的目光看了一会儿。”这都是正确的，”她说，“但这不是颠倒的吗?”我又看了看。她是对的!这是!

27 A wet night雨夜

Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelled good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the campfire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water! They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent!

在下午晚些时候，男孩子们把帐篷搭在一个领域中。一旦这是，他们在篝火上烧起了饭。他们都饿了，而且食物闻起来很香。一顿美餐之后，他们讲故事、唱歌的.篝火。但过了些时候开始下雨了。孩子们感到累了，所以他们扑灭了火，爬进了帐篷。睡袋既暖和又舒适，所以他们都睡得很香。在半夜里，两个男孩醒来了，开始喊。帐篷里全是水!他们全都跳出睡袋，跑到外面。雨下得很大，他们发现地上已经形成了一个流。那小溪弯弯曲曲穿过田野，然后正好从他们的帐篷!

28 No parking禁止停车

Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. he has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners. When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

怀特是那些少有的相信古代神话的人。他刚在城里买了一幢新房子，但自从搬进去，就和汽车及车主们。当他夜里回到家时，总是发现有人把车停在他的门外。因为这个，他甚至一次也没能把自己的车开进车库。贾斯珀把几块“禁止停车”的牌子挂在大门外面，但没有任何效果。现在他把一个丑陋的石雕头像放在大门。这是我见过的最丑陋的一张脸。我问他那是什么，他告诉我那是蛇发女怪美杜莎，戈耳戈。贾斯珀希望她把汽车和车主们都变成石头。但没有一个变成石头!

29 Taxi!出租汽车

Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.

机长福塞特买了一个不寻常的出租汽车，开始了一个新的服务。这辆出租汽车是一架小型瑞士飞机，叫“皮勒特斯〃波特”。这架奇妙的飞机能载七名乘客。最令人惊奇的是，然而，是它能够在任何地方降落：雪，水，甚至刚耕过的田里。福塞特船长的第一名乘客是位医生，他从伯明翰飞往一个偏僻的村庄在山。此后，福塞特上尉空运乘客到过许多不寻常的地方。他把飞机降落在了一栋公寓楼的屋顶，在另一个场合，他降落在一个废弃的停车场。机长福塞特刚刚拒绝了一位商人的奇怪要求。这个人想要飞往罗卡尔岛，大西洋中的一个小岛，但福塞特机长没有带他因为这段旅程太危险了。

30 Football or polo?足球还是水球?

The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home. I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons. It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river. Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat. Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them. The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight: they had all run away! The man laughed when he realized what had happened. He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank.

wayle是一条小河横穿我家附近公园。我喜欢在晴朗的下午坐在河边。上周日是温暖的，所以我去河边坐着像往常一样。一些孩子在河岸上玩游戏，一些人在河上划船。突然，一个孩子狠狠地踢了一脚球，球便向着一个路过的船。岸上的一些人叫了船上的人，但他没有听见。球重重地打在他身上，他差点掉进水里。我转过头去看那些孩子，但也不见了，他们都跑了!这个人意识到发生了什么事时，他笑了。他大声叫那孩子把球还给银行。

Lesson71 A famous clock 一个闻名的大钟

When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C. If the Houses of Parliament had hot been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built. It is not only of immense size, but is extremely accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day. On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. Once, however, it failed to give the correct time. A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down !

当你旅游伦敦时，首要看到的东西之一即是“大本”钟，即那座从英国播送公司的播送中全国际都可以听到它的声响的闻名大钟。假如不是国会大厦在1834年被焚毁的话，这座大钟永久也不会缔造。“大本”钟得名于本杰明.霍尔爵士，由于当缔造新的国会大厦时，他担任缔造大钟。此钟不只外型无穷，并且走时也十分精确。格林尼治天文台的官员们天天两次派人纠正此钟。当大钟打点的时分，你可以从英国播送公司的播送中听到，由于钟塔上接了麦克风。“大本”钟许多出差错。可是有一次，它却把时刻报错。在钟塔上干活的一位油漆工把一只油漆桶挂在了一根指针上，把钟弄慢了!

Lesson72 A car called Bluebird “蓝鸟”轿车

The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2500 horse-power engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds of over 400 miles an hour. Following his father217;s footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm217;s son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.

出色的赛车选手马尔科姆.坎贝尔爵士是榜首个以每小时超越300英里的速度驾车的人。他于1935年9月在犹他州的邦纳维尔盐滩发明了一项新的国际纪录。他驾驭的“蓝鸟”牌轿车是专门为他制作的。它的车身长30英尺，有一个2,500 马力的发动机。尽管坎贝尔抵达了每小时超越304英里的速度，但他很难把轿车操控住，由于在开端的行程中爆了一只轮胎。竞赛完毕后，坎贝尔十分绝望地得知他的均匀时速是299英里。可是，几天今后，有人告诉他说弄错了。他的均匀时速实践是301英里。从那时以来，赛车选手已抵达每小时600英里的速度。许多年今后，马尔科姆爵士的儿子唐纳德踏着爸爸的脚印，也发明了一项国际纪录。同他爸爸相同，他也驾驭着一辆名叫“蓝鸟”的轿车。

Lesson73 The record-holder 纪录坚持者

Little boys who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day217;s fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1600 miles. He hitch- hiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitch-hiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of boys who dream of evading school.

逃学的孩子们都缺少想像力。他们一般可以做到的，最多也即是安静地钓上一天鱼，或在影片院里坐上8个小时，一遍遍地看同一部影片。而有那么一个小男孩，他在逃学时期旅游了1,600英里，从而使上述全部逃学的孩子们都相形见绌了。他搭便车到了多佛，天快黑时钻进了一条船，想找个本地睡觉。第二天早上他醒来时，发现船在这段时刻现已到了加。当男孩从船里爬出来时，谁也没有发现他。从那里他又搭上货车到了巴黎。司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡，就把他丢在了郊外。男孩截住的下一辆车，没有像他期望的那样把他带到巴黎市中心，而是把他带到了法国和西班牙鸿沟上的佩皮尼昂。他在那儿被一个差人捉住了，今后被当局送回了英国。他无疑为不计其数愿望躲避上学的孩子们发明了一项纪录。

Lesson74 Out of the limelight 舞台以外

An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.

216;This is a wonderful place for a picnic,217; said Gloria Gleam.

216; It couldn217;t be better, Gloria,217; Brinksley Meers agreed. 216;No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don217;t we come more often ?217;

Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry.

216;Now you gut out of here, all of you!217; he shouted: 216; I217;m sheriff here. Do you see that notice ? It says221; No Camping221;-in case you can217;t read !217;

216; Look, sheriff, 216;said Rockwall,217; don217;t be too hard on us. I217;m Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.217;

216; Oh, is it ?217; said the sheriff with a sneer. 216;Well, I217;m Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast !217;

一辆古旧的轿车停在一条干枯的'河床边，一群闻名男女艺人下了车。他们戴着墨镜，穿戴旧衣裳，格外当心以防他人认出他们。但他们很快就发觉，扮装的作用有时过火完美了。

“在这个本地野餐简直太妙了，”格格利亚.格利姆说。

“是再好不过的了，格格利亚。”布林克斯利.米尔斯表明赞同，“没有记者，没有影迷!咱们为啥不常常来这儿呢?”

“此刻，其他两位艺人，罗克沃尔.斯林格和默林.格里夫斯，现已把两个大食物篮子提到了一片树荫下。当他们都已组织舒当令，一个陌生人呈现了。他看上去十分愤慨。“你们都从这儿走开，全都走开!”他大叫着，“我是这儿的司法长官。你们看到那个布告牌了吗?上面写着‘制止野营’211;除非你们不识字!”

“好了，好了，司法官，”罗克沃尔说，“别使咱们尴尬。我是罗克沃尔.斯林格，这位是默林.格里夫斯。”

“噢，是吗?”那位司法长官冷笑一声说道，“好，我即是布林克斯利.米尔斯。我还有一个姓名叫格格利亚.格利姆。如今你们赶快滚吧!”

lesson75 SOS 呼救信号

When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark. she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early ,next morning she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters217; SOS217; in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.

不久前，一架轻型客机偏离了航线，在山区坠毁，飞翔员丧生。机上仅有的乘客，一位年青的妇人和她的两个女婴却平安无事。此刻正值寒冬天节，地上积着厚厚的雪。这位妇人知道，即便近期的村庄也稀有英里远。天亮下来的时分，她把提箱当作小床，把两个孩子放了进入，又把全部能找到的衣服都盖在了孩子们身上。夜里，天冷得凶猛。这位妇人尽或许地挨近孩子，乃至自个也想钻进箱子里去，仅仅箱子太小了。第二天一大早，她听到头顶上有飞机飞过，但不知道怎样才干发个信号。后来她有了一个主见。她在雪地上踩出了“SOS”这3个字母。走运得很，一位飞翔员看到这个信号，用无线电给近期的乡镇发了报。不久，一架直升飞机飞抵飞机失事现场，来解救这几个幸存者。
