Lesson 9 A cold welcome 冷遇

On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and

a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike

twelve in twenty minutes’ time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the

clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing

happened. Suddenly someone shouted. ‘It’s two minutes past twelve! The clock has

stopped!’ I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the

New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.

I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘I can’t hear a word!’

I said angrily.

‘It’s none of your business, ’ the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!’

Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐？

It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘What a day!’ I thought. ‘It’s raining again. ’ Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I’ve just arrived by train, ’ she said. ‘I’m coming to see you. ’

1 Lesson40 Who’s who

It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than

anyone else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the

fire-brigade to put out a non-existent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting

student would ever indulge in, Students often create amusing situations which are funny to

everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill

outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two

students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he

had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go

away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a
