| Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went t turning around that famous city. They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night. "Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr. Smith. "Yes,certainly, sir," answered the man. "We serve it until half past nine." "What are the times of meals then?" asked Mr. Smith. "Well, sir," answered the man. "We sever 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." "But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London!" said Mrs. Smith. | ||||

| Sometimes you make a wish but when it comes, you decide you don"t want it after all. That"s what happened with Mickey"s "birthday wish". Our family tradition is that you make a wish before you blow out the birthday candle. After he blew out the candle, Mickey told us that his wish was to win a prize in the Pine Ridge match. We quickly told Mickey that if you tell people your wish, your wish won"t come true. So we lit the candle again, and he made another wish. Mickey and Paul were both supposed to start playing at 5:30. When Mickey reported to the check-in table, the game organizers told him his opponent had phoned and said he was coming late. The officials told Mickey he could choose not to play-and be declared the victor of the first round of competition. But Mickey said he didn"t want to win by not playing. He wanted the experience of playing a great player. Finally, the beast showed up. He was tall, smiling and relaxed. His serve (发球) was like lightning. Mickey had some good returns, but he lost quickly, 6-1, 6-0. We congratulated Mickey on having some good returns and a few great serves. And we noted that he had won the first game. "I didn"t win that game," Mickey said. "I think he just gave it to me at the beginning because he arrived late." "It was a birthday present," I said, smiling. "No, I refused my birthday present," Mickey said. In his eyes, his "birthday present" had been the chance to win by his opponent"s forfeit. Mickey ended up winning the "consolation trophy"-a smaller prize we didn"t know existed until Mickey earned it by being undefeated in the consolation bracket. We"ll never know what Mickey"s second wish was-the wish he didn"t share with us. It seems to me that no matter how many birthdays you celebrate, as long as you enjoy challenges, you will never be "old". | ||||

| A. He tried his best and that was enough. B. He had no way to defeat his opponent. C. He was not satisfied with himself. D. He hated his opponent and was determined to beat him next time. | ||||

| It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas, but I had to stay to tidy the office.
