This incident makes me ashamed and leaves me a deep thought. The pickpocket has posed a great threat to residents’ and visitors’ property safety. Undoubtedly, it is an urgent thing to take action to prevent pickpocket. However, it cannot depend on the police only. Instead, it needs our mon efforts. We can not shut our eyes and mouths to the pickpocket any more. It should be kept in our minds that our forces are far beyond those thieves. An Early Morning Walk One morning I got up very early， and everything around was very quiet. The sun had just risen， shining brilliantly and everything seemed to be covered with a layer of golden silk. There were only some birds singing occasionally in the tall trees. I strolled along the street toward the park， breathing the fresh air and feeling extremely happy. When I arrived at the park， I found， to my surprise， that there were so many people there. Men and women， boys and girls， all were enjoying themselves in their various activities. Some were doing morning exercises， some were playing badminton and some old people were having their tea while talking to each other cheerfully. I wandered around the park. To my delight， I found a few middleschool students talking to each other in English in one corner of the park. I went up and spoke to them in English. We soon became friends. I was very glad to find another opportunity to practice my spoken English. On the way home， I realized that an early morning walk really was good and healthful. Taking early morning walks makes one healthy and wise A Most Unlucky Day I had a streak of tough luck yesterday. Everything， it seemed to me， went wrong. And I simply couldn’t understand why all the bad things happened to me in one single day. In the morning， as luck would have it， my alarm clock didn’t ring， and with an aching head I woke up half an hour later than usual. I was in such a hurry that， when making an omelet， I got my fingers burnt and splashed the omelet all over the floor of the kitchen. Having no time for my breakfast at that point， I rushed out of my house with an empty stomach and hurting fingers. I had intended to catch the 7:30 subway， but somehow I couldn’t make it. I became very nervous at the mere thought of being late for my English class， because my English teacher is very strict and demanding， and he gets angry whenever any student is late for his class. After getting off the 7:40 subway， I raced all the way from the station to my school， thinking it would be impossible for me to flag a taxi at this hour of the day. At the corner of the street near my school， I abruptly bumped into a man and， worse luck， broke the glasses I had bought for 500 yuan just last week. With scarcely any time to receive or offer an apology， I just kept on running and running. At long last， I arrived at the school only to find， with great sadness mixed with some relief， that the school was empty and the classrooms were all locked. It was Saturday. My ill luck showed no sign of ing to an end. When I returned home greatly frustrated， I found myself locked out. In my hurry I had forgotten to bring the key with me. Just my luck! Go on a Mediterranean Journey My wife and I have always enjoyed traveling by sea，and last year we decided to go on a Mediterranean journey. Although our holiday was rather expensive we thought that the high standard of acmodation， the firstclass food and the many interesting places we saw were well worth the price we paid. We found that most of the other passengers were friendly and interesting， but there was one man， a Mr. James， who irritated and annoyed us. Whatever subject we talked about， it seemed that he was an expert at it. He had， apparently， read more books， visited more countries and studied more languages， than anyone else had. After a few days， we ate our meals in silence， because nobody wanted to begin a conversation that would soon be taken over by this man. Then my wife had an idea. She suggested that we might think of an unusual subject， look it up in an encyclopedia and then talk about it at dinner. If it were an unusual subject， Mr. James could not possibly know anything about it. The subject we chose was “English Agriculture in the Eleventh Century.” At dinner that night we discussed this subject with great enthusiasm. A Famous Clock When you visit London， one of the first things you will see is Big Ben， the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the . If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834， the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parl
