many thieves. He was promoted (提升) to the rank of officer last month. Now he works harder.
It was Mrs Scott"s birthday yesterday. The woman thought her husband was very busy,and she decided to
hold a small party only with her husband. Mr. Scott agreed with her and they didn"t invite any friends of theirs
to the party. At noon he didn"t go home for lunch and went to a shop. There he bought an expensive diamond
necklace for his wife. He hoped to put it on her neck with his own hands at the party. To his sorrow, a rich
woman"s house was broken into and some jewellery was stolen, and at once he was sent there to solve the cas
e (案件). When he came back to his office, it was late at night. He was tired and hungry. He brought out the
necklace and was going to leave when he was asked to answer a telephone. Several minutes later when he came
into his office, he found the necklace was gone, and he saw the case (盒子) only on his table. He became very
angry and called all the policemen in and told them about it. But nobody acknowledged (承认) having stolen the
necklace.
"I"ll give you a chance," said Mr. Scott, "All the lights will be tumed off. The man who took the necklace
away will be able to put the necklace into the case in the dark."

"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one
side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up
in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another
space: happy and care-free.
But now...I don"t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in
our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever he do something
wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there
is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As
I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me
company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still
on.
I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they
were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can"t stand his outrageous (蛮
横的)words:"I can"t throw you away, let alone these old papers!"
All the lights were off except father"s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn"t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never
showed any mercy or any moment of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep
and then tucking (帮助盖被子) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has
become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I
had never been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.
I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it"s second to
none. |

July 16th was a bad day for Mr. Arthur Johnson. In the morning, he set out from his home in Santa
Barbara, Califomia. It was the start of his summer holidays and he decided to visit Wends at Las Vegas,
then he hoped to go fishing in Lake Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas.
Johnson"s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car went wrong
and he tried to repair it. Then, to make matters worse, his attempts to start the car used up the battery (电

stopped and tried to help him. When both men failed, Williams promised to telephone a workshop to ask it
to send a truck to pull the car away and repair its fuel pump.
Johnson left the keys in his car and sat in the shade of a large tree. Soon he fell asleep. While he was
sleeping, a repair truck arrived from San Pedro (the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on,
Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. He started to walk back towards San Pedro
but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.
Johnson looked like a man wanted in Los Angels for robbery, so the police detained him at San Pedro
for the night. The next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los Angeles. They drove to San Pedro and

My husband hasn"t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It"s funny now but it wasn"t
at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I
bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop-that cheap self-service place
with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table
to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking
youngsters, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair coloured bright red at the front. Not so unusual these
days.What did suprise me was that he"d started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed (苦恼). However, to avoid (避免) trouble-and really I was rather uneasy about
him-I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The
boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn"t
start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, "Well, I shall have the
last piece." and I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This woman"s crazy!"
Everybody stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready
to leave. My face turned red-as red as his hair-when I realized I"d made a mistake. It wasn"t my chocolate that
I"d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper. |

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out
of the kitchen, complaining, "Mom, I can"t peel potatoes. I have only one hand."
Mom never looked up from sewing. "You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told
me. "And don"t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!"
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the
monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids
behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her "we"ll see about that" look. The next
afternoon, she took me back to school. On the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
"Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right
hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every
rung I reached. I"ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing
with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room."
Mom," I said, weeping, "none of the boys would dance with me."
For a long time, I didn"t hear anything. Then she said, "Oh, honey, someday you"ll be beating those boys
off with a bat." Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her
cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears. |
