【正文】 bout it,39。 my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror. 39。 We mustn39。t buy things we don39。t need,39。 I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once. 39。You needn39。t have said that,39。 my wife answered.39。 I need not remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.39。 39。 I find it beautiful,39。 I said. 39。A man can never have too into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that 39。The Revealer39。 may reveal something of value fairly soon. Lesson56 Faster than sound! 比聲音還快！ Once a year a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a RollsRoyce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them ! A few cars, however, pleted the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hourmuch faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting. Lesson57 Can I help you, madam? 你要買什么，夫人？ A woman in blue jeans stood at the window of an expensive shop. Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress was sold. The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned to the shop the following morning dressed in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other. After seeking out the rude assistant she asked for the same dress. Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time with great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said s many ties.39。 39。And a woman can39。t have too many hats,39。 she answered. Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse ! Lesson42 Not very musical 并非很懂音樂 As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snakecharmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz tunes and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 39。dance39。 slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz! Lesson43 Over the South Pole 飛越南極 In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R. E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty. Lesson44 Through the forest 穿過森林 Mrs Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her目 錄第一章 總 論 .............................................1一、項目概述 ..............................................1二、項目單位簡介 ..........................................1第二章 需求分析與項目建設的必要性 .........................3一、需求分析 ..............................................3二、項目建設必要性 ........................................6第三章 建設方案選擇 .......................................9一、建筑設計指導思想和原則 ................................9二、主體工程設計 .........................................10三、配套設施設計 .........................................11第四章 環(huán)境影響評價 ......................................14一、環(huán)境影響 .............................................14二、環(huán)境的主要污染物 .....................................14三、污染物處理方案 .......................................14第五章 節(jié)能與消防 ........................................16一、節(jié)能 .................................................16二、消防 .................................................16and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gon. Jasper hopes that she will turn motorists to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet! Lesson29 Taxi! 出租汽車！ Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 39。taxi39。 is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 39。Pilatus Porter39。. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed fi
