The porter, 6 , could not understand me; I repeated my question several times and 7 last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly 8 clearly. 'I am a 9 (foreign),' I said. Then he spoke 10 (slow), but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I 11 (look) at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. 12 England, each man speaks a different language. The English understand each other, 13 I don't understand them ! Do they speak English ?lesson26 The best art critics 最佳美术评论家I am 1 art student and I paint a lot 2 pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you 3 a picture is 'about'. 4 course, many pictures arc not 'about' anything. They are just pretty 5 (pattern). We like them in 6 same way that we likepretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures 7 (good) than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, 8 she always tells me whether my pictures are good 9 not. She came into my room yesterday. ' What are you doing ?' she asked. ' I'm 10 (hang) this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it ?'

Lesson 65 文本Jumbo versus the policeLast Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and acpanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He, should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a sidestreet as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'文本解析一〕词汇学习Word study1. let 一般作及物动词，主要含义是“允许〞、“让〞，后面可以跟不同的小品词，有时意义变化不大，有时那么变化较大。
