美洲 狮 是一种 体形似猫的大 动 物， 产 于美洲。
当 伦 敦 动 物 园 接到 报 告 说 ，在 伦南 敦以南 45 英里 处发现 一只美洲 狮时 ， 这 些 报 告 并没 有受到重 视 。可是， 随 着 证 据越 来 越多， 动 物 园 的 专 家 们 感到有必要 进 行一番 调查 ，因 为 凡是 声称 见 到 过 美洲 狮 的人 们 所描述的情 况 竟是出奇地相似。
搜 寻 美洲 狮 的工作是 从 一座小村庄 开 始的。那里的一位 妇 女在采摘黑莓 时 的看 见“ 一只大猫” ，离她仅 仅5 码远， ，她刚 刚 看 见 它 ， 它 就立刻逃走了。
专 家 证实 ，美洲 狮 非被逼得走投无路，是 决 不 会 伤 人的。事 实 上搜 寻 工作很困 难 ，因 为 常常是早晨在甲地 发现 那只美洲 狮， ，晚 上却在 20 英里外的乙地 发现 它 的踪迹。无 论它走 走哪儿 儿 ，一路上 总 会 留下一串死鹿及死 兔 子之 类 的小 动 物，在 许 多地方看 见 爪印，灌木 丛 中 发现 了粘在上面的美洲 狮 毛。有人抱怨 说 夜里听 见“ 像猫一 样 的叫 声” ；一位商人去 钓鱼 ，看 见 那只美洲 狮 在 树 上。
专家 们 如今已 经 完全肯定那只 动 物就是美洲 狮 ，但 它 是从 从哪 儿来 的呢？由于全 国 动 物 园 没 有一家 报 告 丢 了美洲 狮 ，因此那只美洲 狮 一定是某位私人收藏豢 养 的，不知怎 怎么设 设 法逃出 来 了。搜 寻 工作 进 行了好几 个 星期，但始 终 未能逮住那只美洲 狮 。想到在宁 静 的 乡 村里有一 头 危 险 的野 兽继续 逍 遥 流 窜 ， 真 令人担心。
Lesson 2
Thirteen equals one Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since. " One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o"clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of
a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.
"Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?" asked the vicar in surprise.
" I"m trying to repair the bell," answered Bill." I"ve been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise." "You certainly did give me a surprise!" said the vicar. "You"ve probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I"m glad the bell is working again."
"That"s the trouble, vicar," answered Bill. "It"s working all right, but I"m afraid that at one o"clock it will strike thirteen times and there"s nothing I can do about it."
"We"ll get used to that Bill," said the vicar. "Thirteen is not as good as one but it"s better than nothing. Now let"s go downstairs and have a cup of tea."
我 我 们 教区 的牧 师总 是 为各 各种各 各 样 的事 筹 集 资 金。但始 终 未能 筹 足 资 金把 教 堂的 钟 修好。
教 堂的 钟 很大，以前不分 昼 夜打点 报时 ，但很多年前遭到毁坏， 从 此便无 声 无息了。
一天夜里，我 们 的牧 师 突然被惊 醒了，大 钟 又在“ 打点” 报时才 了！他一看表，才 1 点 点 钟 ，可是那 钟 一 边了 敲了 13 下才停。牧 师 拿着一支 电 筒走上 钟 楼 想去看看究竟 发 生了什么 事情。借着 电 筒光。他看 见 一 个 人，马 上 认 出那是本地 杂货 店主 经 比尔. 威尔金斯。
“你 你 究竟在 这 上面干什 么 ，比尔？” 牧 师惊讶 地 问。
。
“ 我想把 这 口 钟 修好，” 比尔回答 说 。“ 好几 个 星期了，我天天夜 里到 钟楼 上 来 。
嗯 ，我是想 让你 大吃一惊。
。”
“你 你 确 实 使我大吃了一 惊 ！” 牧 师说 ，“ 也 许 同 时你 把村里所有的人都 吵 醒了。不 过 ， 钟 又能 报时 了，我还 是很高 兴 的。”
“ 问题 就在 这 里，牧 师 ，” 比尔回答 说 。“ 不 错 ， 钟 能 报时到 了，但是，恐怕每到 1 点 点 钟 ， 它总敲 要敲 13 下，对 此我已无能 为 力了。”
“ 大家慢慢就 习惯 了，比尔，” 牧 师说 。“13 如 下是不如 1 下好，但 总比 比 1 下也不敲强。
来 ， 咱们 下 楼 去喝杯茶 吧。

Lesson 3 An unknown goddess Some time ago ，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean （adj.爱 爱 琴海的；n.）
）island of Kea． ．An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini ．The city at one time must have been prosperous ，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization ．Houses--often three storeys high--were built of stone ．They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls ．The city was even equipped with a drainage system ，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets ． The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented
a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground.
Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity. 不久之前，在 爱 琴海的基 亚岛 上，考古工作者有一 项 有趣的 发现 。一 个 美 国 考古 队 在阿伊亚 亚. 依里尼海角的一座古城里考察了一座 庙 宇。
这 座古城肯定一度很繁 荣 ，因 为它有 曾享有高度的文明，房子一般有 3 层 层楼 高，用石 块 修建。里面房 间 很大， 墙 壁装 饰华丽 。城里甚至 还 敷 设 了排水系 统 ，因 为 在 狭 窄的街道底下发现 了 许许 多多陶土制作的排水管道。
考古工作者考察的 这 座 庙 宇 从前 公元前 15 世 世 纪 直到 罗马时 代一直是祭祀祈 祷 的 场 所。在 庙 中最神 圣的一 间 殿堂里 发现了 了 15 尊陶雕像的碎片。每一尊雕像代表一位女神，而且一度上 过 色。其中有一尊雕像，她 的 躯 体是在公前 元前 15 世 世 纪 的 历 史文物中 发现 的，而 她 那身 异处 的 脑 袋却 碰前 巧是在公元前 5 世 世 纪 的文物中找到的。
她 的 脑 袋一定是在古希腊 罗马时 代就 为 人所 发现 ， 并 受到精心的保 护 。却使在 当时 ， 它 也 属历 史悠久的珍奇之物。考古工作者把 这 些碎片重新 拼 装起 来 后， 惊 奇地 发现 那位女神原 来 是一位相貌十分摩登的女 郎 。
她高 身高 3 英尺， 双 手叉腰。身穿一 条 拖地 长 裙， 尽 管上了年 纪 ，但体 态 确 实优 美。不 过 ，考古工作者至今未能确定 这 位女神的身 份。

Lesson4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as" white collar workers" for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (n. 工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit.
Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf"s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she
never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him "Mr. Bloggs", not "Alf".
如今， 从 事体力 劳动 的人的收入一般要比坐 办 公室的人高出 许 多。坐 办 公室的之所以常常被 称 作“ 白 领 工人” ，就是因 为 他 们 通常是穿着硬 领 白 衬 衫，系着 领带 去上班。
许 多人常常情愿放弃 较 高的薪水以 换 取做白领 工人的殊 荣 ，此乃人之常情。而 这 常常 会 引起 种种 奇怪的 现 象，在埃尔斯米尔公司 当清洁 工的艾尔弗雷德 德. 布洛斯就是一 个 例子。
艾尔弗 结 婚 时 ，感到非常 难为 情，而 没 有 将 自己的 职业 告 诉 妻子。他只 说 在埃尔斯米尔公司上班。每天早晨，他穿上一身漂亮的黑色西装离家上班，然后 换 上工作服，当 当 8 个 个 小 时清洁 工。
晚 上回家前，他洗个 淋浴，重新 换 上那 身黑色西服。
两 年多以 来 ，艾尔弗一直 这样 ，他的同事也 为 他保守秘密。艾尔弗的妻子一直不知道 她 嫁 给 了一 个清洁 工，而且 她 永 远 也不 会 知道了，因 为 艾尔弗已找到薪 职 ，不久就要坐 办 公室里工作了。他 将来挣 的 钱 只有他 现 在的一半。不 过 他 觉 得，地位升高了， 损 失点 儿钱 也 值 得。
从 此，艾尔弗可以一天到 晚 穿西服了。
别 人 将称 呼他 为“ 布洛格斯先生” ，而不再叫他“ 艾尔弗” 了。

美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45 英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。可是，随着证据越来越多，动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查，因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。
搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时的看见“一只大猫”，离她仅 5 码远，她刚看见它，它就立刻逃走了。专家证实，美洲狮非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。事实上搜寻工作很困难，因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮，晚上却在 20 英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。无论它走哪儿，一路上总会留下一串死鹿及死兔子之类的小动物，在许多地方看见爪印，灌木丛中发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。有人抱怨说夜里听见“像猫一样的叫声”；一位商人去钓鱼，看见那只美洲狮在树上。专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪儿来的呢？由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮，因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏豢养的，不知怎么设法逃出来了。搜寻工作进行了好几个星期，但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。

我们教区的牧师总是为各种各样的事筹集资金。但始终未能筹足资金把教堂的钟修好。教堂的钟很大，以前不分昼夜打点报时，但很多年前遭到毁坏，从此便无声无息了。
一天夜里，我们的牧师突然被惊醒了，大钟又在“打点”报时了！他一看表，才 1 点钟，可是那钟一边敲了 13 下才停。牧师拿着一支电筒走上钟楼想去看看究竟发生了什么事情。借着电筒光。他看见一个人，马上认出那是本地杂货店主经比尔.威尔金斯。
“你究竟在这上面干什么，比尔？”牧师惊讶地问。
“我想把这口钟修好，”比尔回答说。“好几个星期了，我天天夜里到钟楼上来。嗯，我是想让你大吃一惊。”
“你确实使我大吃了一惊！”牧师说，“也许同时你把村里所有的人都吵醒了。不过，钟又能报时了，我还是很高兴的。”
“问题就在这里，牧师，”比尔回答说。“不错，钟能报时了，但是，恐怕每到 1 点钟，它总要敲 13 下，对此我已无能为力了。”
“大家慢慢就习惯了，比尔，”牧师说。“13 下是不如 1 下好，但总比 1 下也不敲强。来，咱们下楼去喝杯茶吧。”

）island of Kea． ．An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini ．The city at one time must have been prosperous ，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization ．Houses--often three storeys high--were built of stone ．They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls ．The city was even equipped with a drainage system ，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets． ． The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented
a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.
不久之前，在爱琴海的基亚岛上，考古工作者有一项有趣的发现。一个美国考古队在阿伊亚.依里尼海角的一座古城里考察了一座庙宇。这座古城肯定一度很繁荣，因为它曾享有高度的文明，房子一般有 3 层楼高，用石块修建。里面房间很大，墙壁装饰华丽。城里甚至还敷设了排水系统，因为在狭窄的街道底下发现了许许多多陶土制作的排水管道。
考古工作者考察的这座庙宇从公元前 15 世纪直到罗马时代一直是祭祀祈祷的场所。在庙中最神圣的一间殿堂里发现了 15 尊陶雕像的碎片。每一尊雕像代表一位女神，而且一度上过色。其中有一尊雕像，她的躯体是在公元前 15 世纪的历史文物中发现的，而她那身异处的脑袋却碰巧是在公元前 5 世纪的文物中找到的。她的脑袋一定是在古希腊罗马时代就为人所发现，并受到精心的保护。却使在当时，它也属历史悠久的珍奇之物。考古工作者把这些碎片重新拼装起来后，惊奇地发现那位女神原来是一位相貌十分摩登的女郎。她身高 3英尺，双手叉腰。身穿一条拖地长裙，尽管上了年纪，但体态确实优美。不过，考古工作者至今未能确定这位女神的身份。
Lesson4
The double life of Alfred Bloggs These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as" white collar workers" for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (n. 工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit.
Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf"s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she
never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him "Mr. Bloggs", not "Alf".
如今，从事体力劳动的人的收入一般要比坐办公室的人高出许多。坐办公室的之所以常常被称作“白领工人”，就是因为他们通常是穿着硬领白衬衫，系着领带去上班。许多人常常情愿放弃较高的薪水以换取做白领工人的殊荣，此乃人之常情。而这常常会引起种种奇怪的现象，在埃尔斯米尔公司当清洁工的艾尔弗雷德.布洛斯就是一个例子。
艾尔弗结婚时，感到非常难为情，而没有将自己的职业告诉妻子。他只说在埃尔斯米尔公司上班。每天早晨，他穿上一身漂亮的黑色西装离家上班，然后换上工作服，当 8 个小时清洁工。晚上回家前，他洗个淋浴，重新换上那身黑色西服。两年多以来，艾尔弗一直这样，他的同事也为他保守秘密。艾尔弗的妻子一直不知道她嫁给了一个清洁工，而且她永远也不会知道了，因为艾尔弗已找到薪职，不久就要坐办公室里工作了。他将来挣的钱只有他现在的一半。不过他觉得，地位升高了，损失点儿钱也值得。从此，艾尔弗可以一天到晚穿西服了。别人将称呼他为“布洛格斯先生”，而不再叫他“艾尔弗”了。
Lesson 5
The facts Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president"s palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: "Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president"s palace." The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but receiv...
篇四：新概念第三册课文
念英语第三册 43（New concept English third volumes 43）43 课充分的保险全保险
一、【文本】课文
保险公司通常愿意承保任何东西。确保公共财产或私人财产是世界上大多数国家的标准做法。不过，如果你举办露天游园会或游园会，在天气不好的情况下，同样有可能为自己投保。不用说，保险公司承担的风险越大，你要付的保险费就越高。听说平船公司对打捞沉船的费用提出索赔，这是很平常的事。但地方当局要求收回打捞一个凹馅饼盘的费用肯定是独一无二的。
诚然，这是一道不同寻常的馅饼盘，因为它有十八英尺长，六英尺宽。它是由地方当局购买的，以便为一年一度的博览会烤一个巨大的馅饼。馅饼委员会决定运输这道菜最好的办法是通过运河，所以他们为这次旅行投保。馅饼上市后不久，馅饼委员会就去当地的一家小餐馆庆祝。与此同时，一些青少年爬上盘子，举行了一个自己的小聚会。舞会证明了这一点超过了盘子的承受能力，因为宴会期间，它倾覆了，沉入了七英尺深的水中。
馅饼委员会打电话给一位当地修车厂老板，他来到一辆回收卡车抢救馅饼盘。十几岁的孩子们穿着湿衣服发抖，三个男人不断地潜入水中寻找盘子。他们毫不费力地找到了它，但把它从水中拖出来却成了一个严重的问题。盘子四边十分光滑，几乎不可能把缆绳和链条的边缘而不破坏它。最后，链条被固定在盘子的一端，一台大功率的绞车开动起来。盘子升到水面，轻轻地向运河岸边拉去。在令人忐忑不安的瞬间，盘子晃晃悠悠地上了岸，但它突然失去了平衡，又跌回水中。这些人现在不得不再试一次。这一次，他们把沉重的金属夹子固定在盘子的两边，这样他们就可以把铁链固定起来。这道菜现在必须垂直升降，因为一条边靠在运河边上。绞车又开动了，其中一个人开动了卡车。几分钟后，盘子成功地拖到水面上。
水流在它的边上奔流，并在运河中形成巨浪。有一种危险，波浪会从河岸的另一边反弹出来，然后把盘子再次放入水中。靠着极快的速度，人们在海浪返回之前设法把盘子搬到了陆地上。

概念英语第三册课文Lesson1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reportscame into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south ofLondon, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began toaccumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptionsgiven by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman pickingblackberries saw "a large cat" only five yards away from her. It immediately ran awaywhen she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human beingunless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for thepuma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twentymiles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer andsmall animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma furwas found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of "cat-like noises" atnight and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts werenow fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? Asno pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one musthave been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed toescape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is可编辑.disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quietcountryside.Lesson 2 Thirteen equals oneOur vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has nevermanaged to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clockwhich used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and hasbeen silent ever since. One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clockwas striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o"clock, but thebell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went upinto the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight ofa figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer."Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?" asked the vicar in surprise." I"m trying torepair the bell," answered Bill." I"ve been coming up here night after night for weeksnow. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.""You certainly did give me asurprise!" said the vicar. "You"ve probably woken up everyone in the village as well.Still, I"m glad the bell is working again.""That"s the trouble, vicar," answered Bill. "It"sworking all right, but I"m afraid that at one o"clock it will strike thirteen times andthere"s nothing I can do about it.""We"ll get used to that Bill," said the vicar. "Thirteenis not as good as one but it"s better than nothing. Now let"s go downstairs and havea cup of tea."Lesson 3 An unknown goddess可编辑
.Some time ago，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on theAegean（adj.爱琴海的；n.）island of Kea．An American team explored a temple whichstands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini ．The city at one time musthave been prosperous，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization．Houses--oftenthree storeys high--were built of stone．They had large rooms with beautifullydecorated walls．The city was even equipped with a drainage system，for a greatmany clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets．The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worshipfrom the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times.

She stood threefeet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt whichswept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far,the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.Lesson4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs可编辑

From now on, he will wear a suit all day and otherswill call him "Mr. Bloggs", not "Alf".Lesson 5 The factsEditors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide theirreaders with unimportant facts and statistics.

He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams,but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram informing the journalist that ifhe did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply,the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A weeklater, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had thepoor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had atlast been allowed to send a cable in which he informed the editor that he had beenarrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall whichsurrounded the president"s palace.Lesson 6 Smash-and-grabThe expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. Atthis time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of ajewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had beenworking busily since 8 o"clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and可编辑
.rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazingat the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on andits horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler"s.One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their facesjumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this wasgoing on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out ofthe window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves wasstruck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds tonotice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled backinto the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylorrushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible tostop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.Lesson 7 Mutilated ladiesChildren often have far more sense than their elders. This simple truth wasdemonstrated rather dramatically during a civil defence exercise in a small town inCanada. Most of the inhabitants were asked to take part in the exercise duringwhich they had to pretend that their city had been bombed. Air-raid warnings weresounded and thousands of people went into special air-raid shelters. Doctors andnurses remained above ground while Police patrolled the streets in case anyonetried to leave the shelters too soon.可编辑
.The police did not have much to do because the citizens took the exerciseseriously. They stayed underground for twenty minutes and waited for the siren tosound again. On leaving the air-raid shelters, they saw that doctors and nurseswere busy. A great many people had volunteered to act as casualties. Theatricalmake-up and artificial blood had been used to make the injuries look realistic. A lotof People were lying "dead" in the streets. The living helped to carry the dead andwounded to special stations. A Child of six was brought in by two adults. The childwas supposed to be dead. With theatrical make-up on his face, he looked as if hehad died of shock. Some people were so moved by the sight that they began to cry.However, the child suddenly sat up and a doctor asked him to comment on hisdeath. The child looked around for a moment and said, "I think they"re all crazy!"Lesson8 A famous monasteryThe Great St Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy.

15.
The hunt went on for several weeks,

念英语第三册的课文 (36)（The text of new concept English third volumes (36)）新概念英语第三册的课文 (36)（The text of new concept English third volumes (36)）
我们比我们过去那么轻信。在十九世纪，一位小说家会通过向读者呈现一系列巧合来结束他的故事，其中大部分是离奇离奇的。读者愉快地接受了一个事实，一个默默无闻的女佣实际上是英雄的母亲。失踪了很久的兄弟，以为他死了，其实一直活着，并且正在策划搞垮主人。凡此种种，不一而足。现代读者会觉得这种天真的解决办法完全不能接受。然而，在现实生活中，有时情况确实会导致巧合，除了十九世纪的小说家，任何人都会发现这种巧合。
当我是个孩子的时候，我的祖父给我讲了一位德国出租汽车司机Franz Bussman，发现一个弟弟被认为已经死了二十年前。他和妻子一起徒步旅行时，弯腰去见一个工人。他们走后，Bussman 太太说工人酷似她的丈夫甚至暗示他可能是他的弟弟。弗兰兹对这个想法嗤之以鼻，指出他的兄弟在战争中被杀了。尽管巴斯曼夫人这个故事，她认为有一百万的机会，她可能是对的。几天后，她派了一个男孩去问那个工人，他的名字叫 Hans Bussman。不用说，这人的名字叫 Hans Bussman，他真的是弗兰兹失散多年的兄弟。兄弟俩团聚后，汉斯解释说他还活着。他在战争结束后负伤，被送进医院，与部队分离。医院遭到轰炸，汉斯步行回到了西德。与此同时，他的部队失踪了，他所有的记录都被毁了。汉斯回到了他的家，但是房子被炸毁了，附近的人都不知道居民的情况。假设他的家人在空袭中丧生，汉斯在离他五十英里远的一个村庄定居。

Reference translation
We don"t trust people as easily as we used to. In nineteenth Century, a novelist at the end of the novel with a series of coincidences most is far fetched to the reader, highly unlikely. Readers happily accepted the fact that an obscure maidservant was really the hero"s mother; a long lost hero"s brother, who was presumed dead, was really alive all the time and are plotting to bring about the hero; and so on, modern readers would find such naive solution totally unacceptable. However, in real life, sometimes there are coincidences, which are not believed by anyone except the novelist of the nineteenth Century.
When I was a kid, my grandfather told me about a German taxi driver, Franz. How to find the Basman is believed to have died in 20 years ago, the brothers. Once, he went hiking with his wife. On the way, he stopped to talk to a worker, and then they walked on. Bussman commented on the workmans close resemblance to her husband and even suggested that he might be her husband"s brother. Franz was dismissive of this, pointing out that his brother had been killed in the war. Though Mrs. busssman fully acquainted with this story, but she still thinks the possibility of their ideas are still millionth. A few days later, she sent a boy to ask him if his name was Hans. Needless to say, the man"s name was Hans Bussman and he really was Franz"s long lost brother. When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained the course of his survival. At the end of the war, he was wounded and sent to the hospital and lost contact with the troops. The hospital was bombed, and Hans walked back to West germany. At the same time, his troops were defeated, and all his files were
destroyed by the war. Hans returned home, but the house had been destroyed, the original tenants next door neighbours who do not know the whereabouts of Hans that his family had been killed during an air raid, then a village in the distance of 50 miles away to settle down, until the day.
