Lesson 16 A polite request 浆鏈夌ぜ鐨勮?姹
If you park your car in the wrong place,a traffic policeman will soon find it.You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.However,this does not always happen.Traffic police are sometimes very polite.During a holiday in Sweden,I found this note on my car:'sir,we welcome you to our city.This is a "No Parking" area.You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs.This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this,you cannot fail to obey it!

My aunt Jennifer is an actress.She must be at least thirty-five years old.In spite of this,she often appears on the stage as a young girl.Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.This time,she will be a girl of seventeen.In the play,she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.Last year in another play,she had to wear short socks and a bright,orange-coloured dress.If anyone ever asks her how old she is,she always answers,'Darling,it must be terrible to be grown up!'

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 wasn't there!As I was looking for it,the landlord came in.
'Did you have a good meal?" he asked.
'Yes,thank you,' I answered,'but I can't pay the bill.I haven't 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.
'I'm very sorry,' he said.'My dog had taken in into the garden.He often does this!'
Lesson 19 Sold out 绁ㄥ凡鍞?畬
'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office.'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
'I'm sorry,we've sold out,' the girl said.
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then,a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said,'but they're for next Wednesday's performance.Do you still want them?'
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
Lesson 20 One man in a boat鐙?潗瀛よ垷
Fishing is my favourite sport.I often fish 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 empty bag.'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing.I'm not really interested in fishing.I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
Lesson 21 Mad or not?笉鏄?柉浜咟br/>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.
Lesson 22 A glass envelope 鐜荤拑淇″皝
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.
Lesson 23 A new house鏂板眳
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.
Lesson 24 It could be worse 涓嶅垢涓?箣涓囧垢
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!'
