  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!

  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。

  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!

  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。
