Jimmy's father said when he saw it."His grandfather did," answered Jimmy's mother."Oh," said his father.Of course, Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made a terrible noise with it, but his mother did not mind. His father was working during the day, and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he did not hear the noise.But one of the neighbors did not like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy's house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him, "Hullo, Jimmy. Do you know, there's something very nice inside your drum? Here's a knife. Open the drum and let's find it.

Lesson 3Who Took the Money?Text AMr. Smith gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday-ten pretty pound notes. So the day after her birthday, Mrs. Smith went shopping. She queued for a bus, got on and sat down next to an old lady. After a while, she noticed that the old lady's handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad of pound notes exactly like the one her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag- the notes had gone!Mrs. Smith was sure that the old lady who was sitting next to her had stolen them. She thought she would have to call the police; but, as she disliked making a fuss and getting people into trouble, she decided to take back the money from the old lady's handbag and say nothing more about it. She looked round the bus to make sure nobody was watching, then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's bag, took the notes and put them in her own bag.When she got home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.´How did you pay for it?' he asked.´With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course,' she replied.´Oh? What's that, then?' he asked, as he pointed to a wad of ten pound notes on the table.Text B'Goodbye, darling,' said Mr.Mackin. 'I'll be late tonight.' Poor George, she thought. He was always in a hurry in the morning, and it wasn't unusual for him to come home late at night. He worked for a shoe company in Leeds. and there as such a lot of work that he normally stayed in the office till seven or eight.When George had left the house Mrs.Mackin sat down. in an armchair and turned on the radio. It was a few minutes past eight, and she heard the last words of the news :'...woman who escaped from Iceds prison yesterday is still free. The police warn you not to open your door to strangers. 'She turned off the radio. The housework was waiting for her. She made the beds and washed the dishes. There wasn't any shopping to do. and so she thought for a moment of all the Work in the garden.The Mackins lived in a house with a large garden in a suburb of Leeds. Behind the garden there were some trees. and then the open fields.Suddenly Mrs.Mackin remembered the news. She laughed uneasily. That prison is only 15 miles away, she thought. She didn't work in the garden, she mended her husband 's shirts instead And she carefully locked the front door and closed all the windows.It was getting dark. She turned on the lights in the livingroom. Then she noticed that she had turned on the lights in most of the rooms in the house.'How silly I am!' she said nervously and went into the other rooms and turned the lights on.The person at the door said something loudly. But she was so frightened that she didn'tunderstand a word.Additional InformationDo you believe in ghosts? I don't, eitlter-or at least I didn't until I heard a strange story the other day from Mr. Mike Paton, of 19 Marlborough llill.It all began on November 28, when Mr. Paton's eight-year-old son, Bob, was playing in the big back garden of his parents' house. He met an old man with a long white beard. The old man told Bob he was building the underground railway there, but Bob didn't believe him. Bob told me afterwards that he knew the underground ran under Marlborough Hill itself. The old man said there had been an accident the day before. Then he went away.At first the Patons didn't believe Bob's story. Mrs. Paton told me that Bob often made up stories about ghosts and monsters, like other children of his age. But Mr. Paton was curious and decided that he would go to the library to check up on the facts.He found that the railway company had started to build the line to the west of Marlborough Hill in 1881. but they had run into an underground river. Ten workmen had died in an accident and the Company had changed the direction of the line and built the present tunnel under Marlborough Hill. At first I didn't believe Mr. Paton's story either, so I did some research myself.Inspector Bright of the Metropolitan Police said it was natural to find tramps in the district in winter, but no one had reported one answering the description I had given him since last August.Mr. Joseph Griffiths of London Transport checked the files on the accident for me. He told me that the accident had apparently taken place on or very near the junction of Marlborough Hill and Woodstock Avenue on 27 November 1881. Mr. Paton's house stands on the corner!The source of this extraordinary story was not affected by the news. 'I told Mummy it was true,' young Bob Paton told me yesterday. When I left the house he was playing happily with his toy cars-in the garden!。

Lesson 2Au Pair GirlText AGretel comes from Austria. She is eighteen years old. She is going to stay with the Clark family for a year. Gretel has come to England because she wants to improve her English. She works as an au pair girl. She helps Mrs. Clark in the house and attends English classes regularly in her spare time.Gretel hasn’t been in England long and everything is strange to her. She often compares life in London with life in Vienna. Some things are nicer in London; other things are not so nice. For instance, the shops are bigger in London than in Vienna and there is greater variety. But it's more expensive to enjoy yourself in London. It's expensive to have a meal at a restaurant or to go to a theatre.Gretel has got used to many things already, but she can't get used to breakfast in England. "You English eat so much in the morning," she often says. "Fruit juice, porridge, bacon and egg, tea, toast and marmalade! How can you face all that food so early in the day?"Text BMaria had decided that as soon as she had finished school she would become an au pair girl in London. Two of her friends had already spent a year with a family in Kensington, and told her they had had an interesting time and had managed to learn a lot of English. She was advised by her Head Teacher to get her parents' consent and to make all the necessary arrangements prior to her departure: have enough money for her return fare, know exactly what kind of a family she was going to live with and what they expected of her.Shortly after her eighteenth birthday Maria received a letter from Mrs. Hutchinson, the wife of an advertising executive, stating the terms on which she would be employed. The Hutchinson lived in a house in Chelsea. They had three children; two boys, aged fourteen and ten, both at boarding schools, the elder at a Public School in the Midlands and the younger at a Preparatory School in Surrey;The youngest child was a girl aged eight, and she went to the French Lycee in South Kensington. During term time Maria would have to take the girl to school in the morning and fetch her in the afternoon. She would have to help Mrs. Hutchinson in the house - washing up, making the beds, laying the table, dusting the rooms, answering the door, taking telephone messages, shopping and running errands.She would be guaranteed three evenings a week free and could attend English classes either from eleven till one in the morning or from half past one till four in the afternoon. She would receive 3 a week pocket money. Maria was delighted with the conditions and thought that they were fair. She also liked the look of the family, as Mrs. Hutchinson had thoughtfully enclosed a photograph with her letter.Additional InformationIt was nothing for a girl to be sent away to service when she was eleven years old. That meant leaving the family as she had never been parted from for a day in her lifebefore, and going to some place miles away to be treated like a dog. I've got nothing against girls going into good service.In my opinion, good service in a properly run big house was a wonderful training for a lot of girls who never would have seen anything different all the days of their lives if they hadn't gone. It was better than working on the land, then, and if it still existed now, I reckon I'd rather see any of my daughters be a goodhousemaid or a well-trainedparlourmaid than a dolled-up shop-assistant or a factory worker.But folks are too proud to work for other folks, now. Even if it's to their own advantage, though as far as I can see you are still working for other folks, whatever you're doing. Big houses didn't want littlegirls of eleven, even as kitchen maids, so the first few years had to be put in somewhere else, before you got even that amount of promotion.Big houses expected good service, but you got good treatment in return. It wasn't like that at the sort of place my friends had to go. Mostly they went to the farmers' houses within ten or twenty miles from where they'd been born. These farmers were a jumped up, proud lot who didn't know how to treat the people who worked for them. They took advantage of the poor people's need to get their girls off their hands to get little slaves for nearly nothing. The conditions were terrible.。

One of them said to Mrs. Brown, "The poor old gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned to us for help, sowe sent a car to bring him home." Mrs. Brown was very surprised, but she thanked the policemen and they left."But, Grandfather," she then said, "you have been to thatpark nearly every day for twenty years.

Lesson 208SWhat to Do About GrandmaText AHal Bohlman, his wife Judy, and their three children live in a small apartment. Hal works in the income tax division of the government where he is a public information officer. Their children are now 12, 10 and 5 years old. Their plan is for Judy to return to work after their youngest child starts elementary school next year. They hope to save up enough money to buy a house, since they feel their present two bedroom apartment is much too crowded.Last week, however,Judy's father died suddenly of a heart attack. They now have to decide what to do about Judy's mother,since Judy is the only child. Judy's father was the manager of a store in a large supermarket chain, so her mother will receive a modest but sufficient pension from the company.

Judy is afraid she might have trouble taking care of herself now that she is alone. She is living in the house that she and her husband owned. a three bedroom house in the suburbs of the same city where Hal and Judy live.Hal and Judy's mother never got along well in the past. But Hal realizes that Judy is worried about her mother.Text BThe huge population of China is indeed a very serious problem.The government has made great efforts to control the birth rate in recent years.'But the work has encountered strong resistance, especially in rural areas, where both economy and culture are still very backward, resulting in the birthrate rising again.Many people blame this on the feudal tradition that it was good to have more children to have more working hands.However, this is only half the story. In the countryside there are no pensions and no free medical care for the aged. Many young couples are afraid that once they are old. There will he nobody to care for them. So they want a son who can tend them all their lives.If we raise more funds for the elderly in rural areas and build more sanatoriums and other institutions for them, the farmers can put their minds at rest.The majority of young couples nowadays are well educated even in the poverty-stricken areas. Although the feudal influence is strong, they can understand the importance of family planning. What worries them most is their own old age.Additional informationMany Suicides Reported on Respect For Aged DayTragic suicides by aged persons were reported from across the country Monday when the nation celebrated Respect for the Aged Day, a national holiday.In the city of. . . , a 76-year-old woman was found to have hanged herself in her room at about 2 a. m. , her grandson reported to police.The woman, ... , had been suffering from tuberculosis and the hardening of the arteries in addition to the loss of eyesight, the grandson told police.In the city of. . . , a neighbor visited a 78-year-old man's home at 9 a. m. to find that he had gassed himself.
