26、The best art critics最佳美术评论家I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures.Many people pretend that they understand modern art.They always tell you what a picture is 'about'.Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything.They are just pretty patterns.We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else.They notice more.My sister is only seven,but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not.She came into my room yesterday. 'What are you doing?'she asked.'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,'I answerd.'It's a new one.Do you like it?'She looked at it critically for a moment.'It's all right.'she said,'But isn't it upside down?'I looked at it again.She was right!It was!
28、Jasper White is one of those rare peoplewho believes in ancient myths. He hasjust bought a new house in the city,but ever since he moved in, he has hadtrouble with motorists. when he returnshome at night, he always finds that some-one has parked a car outside his gate.Because of this, he has not been able toget his own car into his garage even once.Jasper has put up' No Parking' signs out-side his gate, but these have not had anyeffect. Now he has put an ugly stone headover the gate. It is one of the ugliest facesI have ever seen. I asked him what it wasand he told me that it was Medusa, theGorgon. Jasper hopes that she will turnmotorists to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
54、After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to shops. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some meat pies. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!
58、The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a ‘cursed tree’.Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near a church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!
63、She was not amusedJeremy Hampden has a large circle of friends and if very popular at parties. Everybody admires him for his great sense of humour -- everybody, that is, except his six-year-old daughter, Jenny. Recently, one of Jeremy's closest friends asked him to make a speech at a wedding reception. This is the sort of thing that Jeremy loves. He prepared the speech carefully and went to the wedding with Jenny. he had included a large number of funny stories in the speech and, of course, it was a great success. As soon as he had finished, Jenny told him she wanted to go home. Jeremy was a little disappointed by this but he did as his daughter asked. On the way home, he asked Jenny if she had enjoyed the speech. To his surprise, she said she hadn't. Jeremy asked her why this was so and she told him that she did not like to see so many people laughing at him!
68、Lesson 68 Persistent 纠缠不休I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning.‘Hello, Nigel,’ I said. ‘Fancy meeting you here!’‘Hi, Elizabeth,’ Nigel answered. ‘I was just wondering how to spend the morning--until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?’‘No, not at all,’ I answered. ‘I'm going to…’‘Would you mind my coming with you?’ he asked, before I had finished speaking.‘Not at all,’ I lied, ‘but I'm going to the dentist.’‘Then I'll come with you,’ he answered. ‘There's always plenty to read in the waiting room!’
</p></p>70、Red for danger 危险的红色During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador. 74、An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes， they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered， disguises can sometimes be too perfect.‘This is a wonderful place for a picnic，‘said Gloria Gleam.‘It couldn‘t be better， Gloria，‘Brinksley Meers agreed.‘No newspaper men， no film fans! Why don‘t we come more often?‘Meanwhile， two other actors， Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves， had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable， a stranger appeared. He looked very angry.‘Now you get out of here， all of you!‘he shouted.‘I‘m sheriff here.
Do you see that notice? It says"No Camping"---- in case you can‘t read!‘‘Look， sheriff，‘said Rockwall，‘don‘t be too hard on us. I‘m Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.‘‘Oh， is it?‘said the sheriff with a sneer.‘Well， I‘m Brinksley Meers， and my other name is Gloria Gleam.Now you get out of here fast!‘
83、After the elections The former Prime Minister ,Mr .Wentworth Lane ,was defeated in the recent elections.He is now retiring from political life and has gone abroad .My friend,Patrick,has always been a fanaticai opponent of Mr.Lane's Radical Progressive Party.After the elections,Patrick went to the former Prime Minister's house.When he asked if Mr.Lane lived there,the policeman on duty told hin that since his defeat, the ex-Prime Minister had gone abroad.On the following day ,Patrick went to the house again.The same policeman was just walking slowly past the entrance ,when Patrick asked the same question.Though a little suspicious this time,the policeman gave him the same answer.The day after ,Patrick went to the house once more and asked exactly the same question.This time ,the policeman lost his temper."I told you yesterday and the day before yesterday,"he shouted ,"Mr.Lane was defeated in the elections.He has retired from political life and gone to live abroad!" "I know,"answered Patrick ,"but I love hear you say it !"
89\People will do anything to see a free show -- even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, as many of the artists who should have appeared did not come.The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!"
