Lesson14 A noble gangster 贵族⽍徒 新概念3课⽂内容： There was a time when the owners of shops and

businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money to gangsters in return for 'protection'. If the money was not paid

promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroying his shop. Obtaining 'protection money' is not a

modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery

that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters. 600 years ago, Sir

John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and

came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood

used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business

was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if

protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded

him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of 80, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted which

was dedicated to the memory of 'the most valiant soldier and most notable leader, Signor Giovanni Haukodue'. 新概念

Collecting 收藏

People tend to amass possessions, sometimes without being aware of doing so.

Indeed they can have a delightful surprise when they find something useful which they

did not know they owned. Those who never have to move house become indiscriminate

collectors of what can only be described as clutter.They leave unwanted objects in

drawers, cupboards and attics for years, in the belief that they may one day need

just those very things. As they grow old, people also accumulate belongings for two

other reasons, lack of physical and mental energy, both of which are essential in

turning out and throwing away, and sentiment. Things owned for a long time are full

associations with the past, perhaps with relatives who are dead, and so they gradually

acquire a value beyond their true worth.
