4、 Jones the other day. So they were very angry with each other. For several days they did not speak to each other at all. One evening Mr. Jones was very tired when he came back from work, so he went to bed immediately after dinner. Of course he did not say anything to Mrs. Jones before he went upstai

5、rs. Mrs. Jones washed the dinner things and then did some sewing. When she went up to bed much later than her husband, she found a piece of paper on the small table near her bed. On it were the words, “Mother- Wake me up at 7 a.m. Father.” When Mr. Jones woke up the next morning, it was nearly 8 a.m

Goodbye. #Goodbye, Dad.2-2 Great Changes in Family LifeGreat changes have been made in family life because of scie

12、nce and industry. In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, fa

13、milies became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of ind

14、ustrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time, they may also

15、 raise other peoples children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.Lesson 33-1 Is This Your Car? Ben! You cant park here! Theres a double yellow line. #Oh, well be back in a few minutes. Its OK. #Oh, no. it isnt. Youll get a parking ticket if you park here. #No, I wont. Its half past

16、 five. All the wardens haven gone home. #Ben! #Yes? #Is this your car, sir? #Oh, My! Well, Im sorry, sir. Im just looking for a car park around. #Yes, he is. And he doesnt know the way well. But can you tell us where we can find a parking space near here, sir? #Theres one on the corner of the second

17、 block. But dont park your car by the roadside next time, sir. #No, no, we wont. Thank you very much, sir. #Youre really good, Ann! But we have to hurry, Im afraid. We must get back before 6. #But you mustnt drive too fast. #Take it easy, Ann. Dont be anxious. #Look Ben! A police car is following #E

18、xcuse me, sir. May I see your licence? #Of course, sir. Well er, Im sorry Ive left it at home. #In that case, youll have to take it to the police station within five days. #Butbut why? #You were speeding, sir. #But I was only dong 35! #Theres a 30 miles an hour speed limit on this road, sir. #Is the

19、re? #I didnt see the sign. #Well, sir. Weve been following you. #So you were doing 35, too. #No, sir. We were doing 60 miles an hour. Otherwise we couldnt catch you.3-2 I Rode to Work on My Motorcycle.When train fares went up for the third time in one year, I decided to buy a motorcycle to ride to w

20、ork. My idea was that, although I would have to pay for tax, insurance and gasoline, I would still spend less than on train tickets over the year. I might even save time on the journey from home to work. So I bought a small secondhand Japanese motorcycle. I began to learn to ride it. At first it see

21、med very difficult for me because I had never learned to ride an ordinary bicycle before. But I soon got used to it. I just fell off once or twice during the first few weeks, but after a while I felt reasonably confident and rode to work every day, even when it was raining. It is, of course, one of

22、the disadvantages, riding a motorcycle in the rain. To keep dry you have to dress up in waterproof clothes, which soon get very dirty. And its cold in winter too. But my journey to work takes me half an hour less than it used to take me on the train. Traffic jams dont worry me, and I dont have to wa

23、it on cold railway platforms for crowded trains. I dont know whether its any cheaper than public transport, though, for I soon got dissatisfied with my small motorcycle and bought a bigger, faster and more expensive one.Lesson 44-1 FineThirty DollarsThe 27th of June was Georges birthday. His brother

24、 Frank gave him thirty dollars as a birthday present. George was very happy. He and his girlfriend Nina went to the horse racing that afternoon. George took the thirty dollars with him in his pocket. They arrived at the races at 2p.m. George parked the car, and paid the man at the entrance gate. He

25、and Nina were both very excited when they stood in the grandstand. Suddenly George exclaimed, “Wheres my money-My thirty dollars? It isnt in my pocket. It is lost!” George and Nina searched everywhere for the thirty dollars. But they could not find the money. It was really lost. “Now Ive only two do

26、llars,” said George, “Only TWO dollars!” George was very unhappy. But Nina said, “George, Horse No3 was very good in the last race. My boss told me. Its called Sure Thing and the odds are 16 to 1.” George bet on Sure Thing. “Two dollars on Sure Thing, to win,” he said to the bookmaker. The last race

27、 started and Sure Thing was indeed a very good horse. She was very fast. Sure Thing won! George was very happy now. He collected his winnings from the bookmaker. “Now Ive got my thirty dollars again,” George said. On their way home, a policeman on a motorcycle stopped George car. “The speed limit he

28、re is 60 kilometers per hour,” the policeman said to George. “you speed was 70 kilometers per hour. Do you have a reason for exceeding the speed limit?” “No,” said George. “May I see your driving licence?” said the policeman. George gave his driving licence to the policeman. The policeman wrote a sp

29、eeding ticket and gave it to George. George looked at the ticket and saw the following words: “Fine thirty dollars.”4-2 Dont Forget to Lock Your BicycleTwo years ago I bought a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you dont have to worry about parking. You can leave it an

30、ywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front, I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, shopping, anywhere in fact. I use it mostly in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the rain is pouring down. It can als

31、o be very dangerous to go out by bicycle in these seasons, so you have to be very careful. Accidents are not the only problems though. One day I went shopping on it and when I came out of the supermarket I found my front wheel missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop! Now I have three strong

32、locks. My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He is not a keen cyclist but says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still prefers his car for longer journeys, but I think that all this sitting down is making him fat and lazy. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercise and fresh air, and cycling makes me feel a lot younger.Lesson 55-1 Do You Like Sports?Hello, sir. Can I help you? #YesEr, have you read about the World Cup in todays newspaper, Miss? #Yes, I have. #Are you interested in football? #Well, yes. #I am. Wonderful game, football
