Tracy sat at the kitchen table daydreaming. She was thinking about the used bike she planned to buy. She was making a list of things she wanted to do to fix up the bike. On her list, Tracy had written new seat, paint, and bell. Then she thought, "I want to make sure drivers see me on my bike. I"ll add reflectors (反光镜) to my list." Tracy"s dad walked into the kitchen. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Oh, I"m just thinking about the bike I want to buy", Tracy said. "I had hoped to earn enough on my paper route the first week to buy it, but I only made fifteen dollars. I hope the bike is still there after I get paid next week." "Well, if you would like to earn the money tomorrow, you can help me," Tracy"s dad said. "Doing what?" Tracy asked eagerly. "I"m washing windows in the morning," her dad said. "I could use five dollars" worth of help." Even though it was a Saturday, Tracy got up quite early. She washed the inside of all of the windows. By twelve o"clock, she finished and had the money in her hand. Just as she was ready to leave, her mom called to her, "Tracy, did you make your bed?" Tracy rushed to her bedroom and made her bed. Finally, she headed for the door. She raced down the street to where the bike was for sale. Luckily, It was still there. The owner noticed Tracy looking at the bike. "Would you like to buy it?" asked the owner. "I sure would! I have twenty dollars," Tracy answered, pulling the money out of her pocket. Within minutes Tracy rode away wearing a huge smile. She circled the block several times. She wanted her friends to see her on her new bike. |

Last September I decided to fly from my hometown, Phoenix, to visit my sister in Seattle. I wanted to take my dog Rosie with me, so I spoke to my vet (兽医) before I booked the tickets. Rosie would have to travel in a large wooden box, and I wanted to check that she would be OK. The vet said that Rosie would be fine because it was only a short flight. When the plane landed in Seattle at five o"clock, I asked the flight attendant if I could stay in my seat until Rosie was taken off the plane. The flight attendant told me to get off the plane immediately, and that I should wait for Rosie at the baggage claim area (行李认领处). So I went to the baggage claim area and waited until all the baggage had been taken off the plane. Soon I was the only person waiting and there was still no sign of Rosie. After forty-five minutes, I asked a woman who worked for the airline if she could find out where my dog was. After I"d waited another thirty minutes, she told me that the plane was now flying to Los Angeles. Rosie was still on the plane! It wasn"t until eleven thirty that night that the airline found Rosie in Los Angeles. There were no more flights that night so she had to spend the night in her box at Los Angeles airport. I got Rosie back the next morning, but by this time she had been in her box for over eighteen hours. Poor Rosie! |
