新概念英语第三册第31课:A lovable eccentricLesson 31 A lovable eccentric可爱的怪人Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。

Why did the shop assistant refuse to serve Dickie?True eccentrics never deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves. They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary. This invariably wins them the love and respect of others, for they add colour to the dull routine of everyday life.Up to the time of his death, Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town. He was a shrewd and wealthy businessman, but most people in the town hardly knew anything about this side of his life. He was known to us all as Dickie and his eccentricity had become legendary long before he died.Dickie disliked snobs intensely. Though he owned a large car, he hardly ever used it, preferring always to go on foot. Even when it was raining heavily, he refused to carry an umbrella. One day, he walked into an expensive shop after having been caught in a particularly heavy shower. He wanted to buy a $300 watch for his wife, but he was in such a bedraggled condition than an assistant refused to serve him. Dickie left the shop without a word and returned carrying a large cloth bag. As it was extremely heavy, he dumped it on the counter. The assistant asked him to leave, but Dickie paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager. Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely. When Dickie was given the watch, the presented the assistant with the cloth bag.It contained $300 in pennies. He insisted on the assistant's counting the money before he left -- 30,000 pennies in all! On another occasion, he invited a number of important critics to see his private collection of modern paintings. This exhibition received a great deal of attention in the press, for though the pictures were supposed to be the work of famous artists, they had in fact been painted by Dickie. It took him four years to stage this elaborate joke simply to prove that critics do not always know what they are talking about.参考译文真正古怪的人从不有意引人注意。

Lesson 31 A lovable eccentricKey to CompositionA possible answerA true eccentricMr. Chew is a man who has lived in our small town for years. He is a large man (some would say "fat"), he has a round face, a big black moustache and a bald head. He always wears the same clothes—black trousers, a white shirt and a red waistcoat, and is always po-lite to everyone he meets.He owns an antiques shop near the river, and he lives "over the shop". No one knows where he gets his things, but there are always lots of different interesting antiques in the shop window every week.Mr. Chew is interested in politics, too. Every week he puts up strange notices in his shop window to passers-by. Usually the notices are trying to make people save a local building or stop a plan to build a road through the town. Every time there is a national election, he automatically stands for parliament and gives speeches almost every day in the town park saying what he would do if he were Prime Minis-ter. (He usually says he would make sure that antiques dealers did not have to pay Income Tax and that no cars should be allowed into our little town at all. ) Every year he gets a few votes, but not enough to worry the serious candidates.For most people Mr. Chew is a harmless eccentric, and everyone likes talking to him. After all, he is someone who adds colour to the dull routine of their daily lives. (248words)Lesson 32 A lost shipKey to CompositionA possible answerThe last dayThe journey has gone well so far. We are now on the way to Russia and hope that we shall arrive with no more problems. But we are watching the sea and sky. The convoy successfully fought off an air attack early this morning. No ships were lost and we managed to shoot , down threeenemy aircraft before they broke off the attack.At 10 a. m. this morning we were attacked by a U-boat. This was the first time we had been attacked and for most men on board this was the first time they had been in action at sea. We were fortunate, but the ship ahead of us, the Dauntless, was torpedoed and sunk. After the ship sank, there were hundreds of men in the sea. We picked up as many survivors as we could in the Karen. In fact in [ the end we picked up 720 men, which meant that 50 men lost their lives in the attack on the Dauntless,The Karen was packed with men, many crowded on the open decks, when we turned and attacked the U-boat. Depth charges were I dropped and the U-boat was put out of action.It is now 3. 15 p. m. , the light is already beginning to fade and storm clouds are gathering. We are about to be attacked by a second U-boat, this time from the north. The captain has just announced —(239words)Lesson 33 A day to rememberKey to CompositionA possible answerMistaken identityWe have all experienced days when everything seems to go wrong. Things certainly went wrong for Ray, a friend of mine, one day last month. It all started, as these things do, with a simple case of "mistaken identity". Ray had been shopping and was loaded with par-cels when he got back to the multi-storey car park to look for his car. He knew he was on the correct level, but he couldn't see his car any-where.Then, suddenly, while he was looking, he saw one exactly like it. It was a red Nissan. It was exactly the same as his own car, and naturally he mistook it for his own. Still holding the parcels, he felt in his jacket pockets and found his key. He tried to open the driver's door, but the key just wouldn't turn. He couldn't understand it. In the end, he forced the lock — and naturally broke the key.At that point he dropped the parcels as well. This infuriated him. The only way he could get into his car was to break a window, so he deliberately smashed the window of the car. As he was putting his hand in, the owner came back and saw him. The owner rushed to-wards Ray, held him against the car, and called a policeman on his mobile phone.When Ray was arrested, he tried to explain, but the police did not believe him — until they found Ray's car on a level below! (246words)Lesson 34 A happy discoveryKey to CompositionA possible answerAn antique shop"The Antique Shop" has been in the little street near the church for years. As you look at it from across the road, it draws you to-wards it. It has one large window display designed to attract all sorts of customers. There is expensive glass, porcelain and jewellery to at-tract people with a lot of money; there is second-hand furniture, modem silver and other things (hardly antique!) to attract those with not so much.When you enter the shop, a little bell rings and the owner, a little grey-haired old lady called Mrs, Century, comes out from a room at the back and greets you like a lost relative! She greets everyone the same and always with a smile.The shop sells all kinds of antiques. There are shelves full of old books along the back of the shop. There are two large tables in the middle of the shop covered with pieces of glass and porcelain. Then, around the walls on the floor are large pots, brass statues and things. There are lots of painting on the walls, too. At the weekend, the shop usually has five or six customers in it at one time. You might find a professional antique collector, a holiday couple and a young mother (with child in pram) looking for a cheap antique for her husband's birthday.We all like looking for unusual things and hope to find a bargain one day. You might find one in Mrs. Century's "Antique Shop". (249words)Lesson 35 Justice was doneKey to CompositionA possible answerA burglary that went wrongThere is a large jewellery store in the town that I have often wanted to rob. A few weeks ago I started planning the theft and kept a close watch on the shop. I noticed when people went in and out, when they started and finished work, and so on. And I noticed the chimneys, too.One night I climbed onto the roof of the store and looked for a way in. One of the chimneys seemed wide enough for me to get in, ss I started climbing down. Very soon, however, I got stuck and had to climb out again. I didn't give up. I looked around, found another chimney that looked quite wide at the top and climbed down that one. Again I got stuck.This time, however, I was really stuck. I could climb neither up nor down. At first I struggled to try to free myself, but I couldn't get out. Then I started to get scared and started sweating. I tried to calm myself by quietly counting and thinking of pleasant things. But nothing worked and finally I started shouting for help. Nothing happened, everything was dark and silent, and I got more and more frightened.I think I went to sleep because I suddenly realized that light was shining down the chimney. I shouted and shouted. Eventually I heard tapping and was finally freed by Fire fighters who had smashed a hole in the chimney. (240words)Lesson 36 A chance in a millionkey to CompositionA Possible answerThe pastWhen the war finished, Franz Bussman did everything he could to get information about his brother Hans. With no information, he reluctantly assumed his brother was dead, and gave up the searchWith no family, and having been unable to find his brother, Franze found it difficult to settle down. Over the years he moved from place to place and from job to job, never staying very long in one place.When he met Anna (now Mrs. Bussman), he was working as a waiter in a hotel. He and Anna got married and Franz settled down at last. He moved from the dinning room into the kitchen of the hotel and became a cook. But this did not last very long. He was talking to a friend one day, a taxi driver, who suggested that they should go into partnership So they did, and Franz became a taxi driver. He and the friend drove taxis themselves, but they also soon owned four more taxis and employed four drivers.He visited his home town once to visit his old house, but it was a sad visit. There was a large modem block of flats where his family house used to be. ' And although he spoke to some of the apartment owners, no one remembered him or his family. Now that he has finally found his brother Hans, he and Anna are planning to invite Hans to come and live near them and work as a taxi driver in the company. (250words)Lesson 37 The Westhaven ExpressKey to CompositionA possible answerA disastrous train journeyWhen. I finally boarded the train. I was looking forward to a pleasant journey to the village of Slowleigh where my friends live. I sat in my seat, got out a book and was already reading when the train startedAccording to the timetable, the train was due to arrive in Slowleight at 4. 30. I had been so interested in my book that I had a shock when I looked at my watch. It was almost 4. 30. I closed my book and waited for the train to slow down. It didn't. In fact, the train was going very fast —and that was Slowleigh, wasn't it?! The train went straight on. I asked the other passengers why the train hadn't stopped and they told me it was the express to the city. I didn't believe it.Then the ticket collector came along. He looked at my ticket and I tried to explain, but in the end I had to pay the full fare to the city.By the time we arrived in the city it was six o'clock. The journey had lasted two hours and I was miles away from my original destination. I rang my friends and said I would get a fast train back. Then I checked the timetable: there was no fast train back to Slowleigh, only a slow one, at 7 o'clock. By the time I finally reached Slowleigh Station, it was nine o'clock at night. My pleasant little train journey had taken 4. 5 hours! (250words)Lesson 38 The first calendarKey to CompositionA possible answerStudying the pastFuture historians will have plenty of sources from which to learn about twentieth-century man. Not only will they have the written word, they will also have films, videos, audio cassettes, CDs and . CD-ROMs. In fact, they will have so much source material that they will hardly know where to start!If they study all the material available, they will be able to build up a complete social and political history of our time. They will know exactly how we dressed, what we ate in every different country and they will know exactly what our homes were like. They will know what our towns and cities were like and what forms of entertainment we enjoyed. In fact, they will not only learn about our forms of en-tertainment, they will be able to enjoy a lot of them, too — our music, plays, musical shows, video games, our art, our literature, . . . . And they will be able to read and see the news day by day as it happened.They will learn in detail the way we fought our wars — the way we used jet fighters, helicopters, ships and tanks. They will be able to learn every detail of great moments in history, and everything about leading figures of the time as well as the lives of ordinary, men and women.In future, the study of history will provide interest and excitement for a lot of people, the past will be brought to life and history will no longer be boring.(249 words)Lesson 39 Nothing to worry aboutKey to CompositionA possible answerBruce remained unperturbedIt was typical of Bruce to announce "cheerfully" that there was no oil in the engine! For the restof us, it was a disaster. We all got out and began shouting at him and then at each other. What could we do? We were standing in the middle of a very large pool up to our ankles in water with a car that was useless.We tried to push it, but of course it was absolutely impossible. All we managed to do was to push it deeper into the soft mud. In the end we all walked to next village where we tried to get a taxi so that we could take some oil (and petrol) back to the car.We couldn't find one driver who would take us over the rough road. Fortunately there was a small garage and we paid a large sum of money to the garage owner to rent a jeep. With a can of oil and an extra can of petrol we all climbed in and set off.When we eventually got back to the pool, we attached a rope from the jeep to the car and pulled the car out of the water. We were not surprised to find that the engine was badly damaged, and would not even start with the oil we had brought back. Disaster again, but Bruce was undismayed!(230 words)Lesson 40 Who's whoKey lo CompositionA possible answerArrest the policeThe policeman who accompanied the workman lo the pay phone still did not realize that they had been the victims of a practical joke. When he and the worker returned to the scene of the hoax right outside the university gates, the other workman was still quarrelling with the police and resisting arrest.Following the worker's call to the police station, it was not long before more police arrived on the scene — and it is at this point that the story becomes very complicated! The workmen told the police who had just arrived that the first lot of policemen were actually stu-dents dressed up as policemen. The second lot of police therefore threatened to arrest the first lot of police, but before they did so, they asked for their identity cards. The first lot ignored this request and said that they really were policemen, but that the workmen were stu-dents. The workers had to prove their identity, too, they said.None of them had to prove their identity by showing identity cards, because at this point two or three of the policemen started laugh-ing, and then the workmen started laughing, and in the endthey were all laughing. They finally realized that they had all been victims of a hoax — and not one of them could remember what the student had looked like. "After all, " said one workman, "they all look the same tome. " (237 wards)。
