.下载可编辑. Lesson 7 Mutilated ladies* 残钞鉴别组
Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever put your trousers in the washing machine
and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket? When you rescued
your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? People who live in Britain
needn't despair when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)!
Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which
deals with claims from people who fed their money to a machine or to their dog. Dogs,
it seems, love to chew up money!
A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John, runs a successful furniture
business. John had a very good day and put his wallet containing ￡3,000 into the

The reports received by London Zoo that a puma had been spotted forty-five miles
south of London were similar in nature. A woman picking blackberries saw it first,
but the puma moved from place to place,leaving a trail of dead deer and small animals.
Paw prints and puma fur were found as well. ‘Cat-like noises’were heard at night

was a puma. (79 words)
Lesson 2 Thirteen equals one 十三等于一
At one o'clock in the morning, the church clock striking the hours woke the vicar
up as it struck thirteen times. The vicar went into the clock tower, taking a torch
with him. He saw Bill Wilkins, the local grocer there and Bill explained he was trying
to repair the clock but hadn't succeeded because at one o'clock it struck thirteen
