Lesson 73:The record-holder 纪录保持着First listen and then answer the question.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Did the boy go where he wanted to?Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.New words and expressions 生词和短语record-holder 纪录保持者truant n. 逃学的孩子unimaginative adj. 缺乏想像力的shame n. 惭愧，羞耻hitchhike v. 搭便车旅行meantime n. 其间lorry n. 卡车border n. 边界evade v. 逃避，逃离★record-holder 纪录保持者n.+ v.+ er 构词法tennis player★truant n. 逃学的孩子，逃学者The three boys who are fishing over there are truants and ought to be sent back to school.play truant 逃学（英）the boy who played truant 逃学的孩子play hooky 逃学（美）be absent from class unpurpose 逃学（unpurpose adv. 故意的）He did it unpurpose.evade school 逃学★unimaginative adj. 缺乏想象力的想象，设想v. imagineimaginative adj. 有想象力的She is an imaginative painter.Painters should be imaginative.imagination n. 想象力-tive 一般是形容词的后缀；-tion 一般是名词的后缀★shame n. 惭愧，羞耻What a shame! 真可耻！Shame on you! 替你感到可耻！shameful adj. 令人羞愧shamed adj. 感到羞愧put sb. to shame 让某人感到羞愧对别人赞美的回答：Thank you.
