serving dinner?” asked Mr Brown. “Yes, certainly sir,” answered the waiter. “We serve it until half past
nine.”
"What are the times of meals then?” asked Mr Brown. “Well, sir,” answered the waiter, “we serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine.”

about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and
saying, "You don"t say! You don"t say!" I was puzzled (困惑的), and I thought, "Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about." So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been
there?"
"Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is
"wonderful!" "Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit
it." As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, "You don"t say!"

"Well, I didn"t ask you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised.

are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.
Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi(伊拉克的)children begging
for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards
the capital, Baghdad (巴格达). We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the
same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad.
They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and
the terrible price paid by Iraqi children.
“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed?”asks the son of Abu
Singar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.
He tries to make him feel safe by saying, “The bombs(炸弹)are far away from us. The Americans
are fighting the soldiers. We"re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows it isn"t always true, little
else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from
the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.
Now things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are
hungry, sick, hurt or even dead.
