He had often dreamed of retiring inEngland and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a fine house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to plain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down whenhe sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for somany years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything exceptthe weather.Lesson 381 except [ik39。t230。pitl] 8 fantastic[f230。nd?d] 7 capital [39。steidi?m] 6 standard[39。g?v?nm?nt] 4 immense[i39。.

Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Ted wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried any more.At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train. Ted was most surprised when he heardthe news. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Ted was a boyof fifteen !Lesson 341 station [39。hed] 10 cliff[klif] 11 struggle[39。splein] ，敘述3 coast [k?ust] 4 storm [st?:m] 5 towards[t?39。rest] lesson33 Out of the darkness 沖出黑暗Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a smallboat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck arock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high upon the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the clifftowards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. Whenshe woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.Lesson 331 darkness[39。p] 5 simply [39。tei??n] 3 article [39。 gave39。gr230。help?] ，助手7 employ [im39。baisik(?)l] 4 save[seiv] 5 workshop[39。tai?] 2 pany[39。ni?li] 7 sight[sait] ，視域Lesson31 Success story 成功者的故事Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiencesas a young man.
