When Dimitri came in from the fields, his wife told him what had happened. Dimitri at once set out to find the thief. He knew it would not prove difficult in such a small village. After telling several of his friends about the theft, Dimitri found out that his neighbour, Aleko, had suddenly acquired a new lamb. Dimitri immediately went 。喬治脫掉外套，卷起袖子，將右胳膊伸進(jìn)了陰溝蓋。對于有些孩子來說，少量的錢可以花很長一段時間。 is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters. Six hundred years ago, Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian citystates were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a citystate and, after burning down a few farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted which was dedicated to the memory of 39。理查茲夫人這才想到一定是供電局來人查電表了。盡管化裝服僅由一個被單制成，卻十分逼真。 5天后，一條油輪從那兒路過，搭救了他們。 最近有兩個人在一座珊瑚島上呆了 5天，他們真希望在那兒再多呆一些日子。ate like kings39。 “香水，嗯？ ”他譏諷地說道， “你剛才應(yīng)該申報，香水要上進(jìn)口稅的。 ”我自信地回答說。 As I expected, he did not believe me. 39。But it isn39。Not at all,39。由于沒有足夠的救生艇運(yùn)載所有乘客，結(jié)果， 1,500 人喪生。 “泰坦尼克 ”起航后的第 4天，它正行駛在北大西洋冰冷的海面上。這樣就加大了空氣阻力，并減少了它們著地時沖擊力帶來的震動。所有這些貓有一個共同的經(jīng)歷：它們都曾從高層建筑上摔下來過，但只有其中的 8只貓死于震蕩或跌傷。但是，它們又有自己神秘的生活方式。修道士們喜歡冬天，而不太喜歡夏天。幾百年來，圣伯納德修道院馴養(yǎng)狗拯救了許多翻越這道山口的旅游者的生命。約翰去找銀行經(jīng)理，經(jīng)理把約翰的錢包和紙幣的殘留物送到英國銀行在紐卡斯?fàn)柕囊粋€專門部門 ——殘鈔鑒別組。 這種事情在你身上出現(xiàn)過嗎？你有沒有把褲子塞洗衣機(jī)，然后又想在褲子的后兜有一張大面值的紙幣？當(dāng)你把褲子搶救出來時，你有沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)那張紙幣已經(jīng)變得比白紙還白？當(dāng)英國人犯這種錯誤時，他們不必感到絕望（而許多國家的人都有這種絕望的感覺）。就在轎車離開的時候，泰勒先生從店里沖了出來，跟在車后追趕，一邊還往車上扔煙灰缸、花瓶。泰勒先生站在櫥窗外凝神欣賞了幾分鐘就回到了店里。在傳真中他告訴編輯，就在他數(shù)通向15英尺高的總統(tǒng)府圍墻的 1， 084級臺階時，被抓了起來。 記者立即出發(fā)去核實這些重要的事實，但過了好長時間不見他把數(shù)字寄來，在此期間，編輯等得不耐煩了，因為雜志馬上要付印。Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president39。兩年多以來，艾爾弗一直這樣，他的同事也為他保守秘密。. 如今，從事體力勞動的人的收入一般要比坐辦公室的人高出許多。不過，考古工作者至今未能確定這位女神的身份。在廟中最神圣的一間殿堂里發(fā)現(xiàn)了 15尊陶雕像的碎片。 “13下是不如 1下好，但總比 1下也不敲強(qiáng)。 “我想把這口鐘修好， ”比爾回答說。 我們教區(qū)的牧師總是為各種各樣的事籌集資金。s nothing I can do about it.39。 39。 I39。 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.

We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boat which never es. Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find out. Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and tins of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every day, and, as one of them put it 39。但很少有人能有機(jī)會去弄個究竟。他們天天捕捉龍蝦和魚，正如其中一位所說，吃得 “像國王一樣好 ”。頭天晚上她已把化裝服做好，這時她急于想試試。突然貯 藏門開了，一個男人走了進(jìn)來。protechon money39。爸爸媽媽當(dāng)然經(jīng)常給孩子零花錢，但是，叔舅嬸姨也是孩子們額外收入來源。在他去糖果店的路上， 50便士掉在地上，在 人行道上跳了幾下，掉進(jìn)
