The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some tarts for tea. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Mrs Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter !Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 39。 has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore whereit is saidpirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went 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。 may reveal something of value fairly soon.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. 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 she did not like it. She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for.The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 39。. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near a church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck。Lesson59 In or out ？ 進(jìn)來(lái)還是出去？b)***縣人民政府會(huì)議紀(jì)要（2006年11月19日）。目前在中國(guó)境內(nèi)已經(jīng)投資了五家企業(yè)，所投資的公司生產(chǎn)的主要產(chǎn)品有：玉米淀粉、冰醋酸、巴豆醛、變性淀粉等以玉米為原料的產(chǎn)品。***有限公司為進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大在中國(guó)的投資，經(jīng)過多方調(diào)察研究選中***省******縣作為投資伙伴，擬投資15億元人民幣，建設(shè)年加工200萬(wàn)噸的玉米深加工項(xiàng)目。長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)為解決我國(guó)13億的吃糧問題做出了重要貢獻(xiàn)，但是與其他產(chǎn)糧大省比較，玉米加工水平存在較大差距，%,而玉米加工量占全國(guó)46%，%，玉米加工量占21%，而***%。因此玉米不能層值，“三農(nóng)”問題突出。過去農(nóng)業(yè)為我國(guó)工業(yè)發(fā)展做出了重大貢獻(xiàn)，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，現(xiàn)在我國(guó)已經(jīng)初步具備了工業(yè)反哺農(nóng)業(yè)，城市支持鄉(xiāng)村的經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力。***省玉米資源豐富，常年玉米產(chǎn)量均在1000萬(wàn)噸以上，而且增產(chǎn)的潛力還很大，因此發(fā)展玉米深加工工業(yè)，不僅有利于解決“三農(nóng)”問題，同時(shí)還可以變資源優(yōu)勢(shì)為經(jīng)濟(jì)優(yōu)勢(shì)，促進(jìn)地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，為振興***省經(jīng)濟(jì)增加新的亮點(diǎn)。 本項(xiàng)目規(guī)劃的建設(shè)規(guī)模為年加工玉米200萬(wàn)噸，生產(chǎn)淀粉、淀粉糖、冰醋酸、醋酸脂等。一期工程建設(shè)規(guī)模為年加工凈玉米60萬(wàn)，年工作日300天，每天24小時(shí)連續(xù)生產(chǎn)。為二期建設(shè)淀粉深加工產(chǎn)品預(yù)先奠定原料基礎(chǔ)。通過采用國(guó)內(nèi)先進(jìn)技術(shù)和設(shè)備，引進(jìn)國(guó)外專有技術(shù)和設(shè)備，實(shí)現(xiàn)玉米深層次地加工，生產(chǎn)淀粉糖及其玉米化工產(chǎn)品等。，可增加就業(yè)500多人，拉動(dòng)區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，增加地區(qū)財(cái)政收入。***縣位于***省西南部，松嫩兩江的左岸，境內(nèi)水、草、田三分天下，土質(zhì)肥沃、集中連片，素有“塞北江南”、“魚米之鄉(xiāng)”的美譽(yù)。2005年糧食產(chǎn)量60萬(wàn)噸，周邊肇州、肇東、蘭西、前郭、扶余、大安等縣的玉米鐘植面積825萬(wàn)畝，產(chǎn)量達(dá)454萬(wàn)噸，***又是周圍幾個(gè)市縣的玉米集散地地，玉米資源豐富。縣內(nèi)公路、水陸、鐵路暢通，交通運(yùn)輸十分方便。d)優(yōu)惠的政策扶植黨的十六大明確提出支持東北地區(qū)等老工業(yè)基地調(diào)整與改造，支持以資源開采為主的城市發(fā)展接續(xù)產(chǎn)業(yè)。由此看來(lái)，項(xiàng)目建成后不但具有一定社會(huì)效益，而且還有一定的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益和抗風(fēng)險(xiǎn)能力。主要技術(shù)經(jīng)濟(jì)指標(biāo) 序號(hào)指標(biāo)名稱單 位指 標(biāo)備 注1建設(shè)規(guī)模t/a618000年處理玉米2產(chǎn)品方案商品淀粉t/a408000粗玉米油t/a 18000 玉米蛋白粉t/a 32000 纖維飼料t/a1360003 總投資萬(wàn)元建設(shè)投資萬(wàn)元建設(shè)期利息萬(wàn)元0流動(dòng)資金萬(wàn)元4全年生產(chǎn)天數(shù)天3005全廠總定員人526管理、技術(shù)人員人52工人人4746全廠占地面積公頃507年均總成本萬(wàn)元8年均銷售收入萬(wàn)元9年銷售稅金及附加萬(wàn)元10年均增值稅萬(wàn)元11年均銷售利潤(rùn)總額萬(wàn)元12總投資利潤(rùn)率%13總投資利稅率%14總投資回收期年15貸款償還期年0（包括建設(shè)期）16財(cái)務(wù)內(nèi)部收益率%所得稅前17財(cái)務(wù)凈現(xiàn)值萬(wàn)元I=12%所得稅前18盈虧平衡點(diǎn)%達(dá)產(chǎn)年值 本項(xiàng)目符合國(guó)家的產(chǎn)業(yè)政策，建設(shè)大型玉米深加工企業(yè)，增加玉米加工層次，使玉米增值，有利于解決“三農(nóng)”問題。本項(xiàng)目二期規(guī)劃的產(chǎn)品中有20萬(wàn)噸淀粉糖，由于該項(xiàng)目遠(yuǎn)離糖的銷售市場(chǎng)，長(zhǎng)距離的運(yùn)輸會(huì)增加產(chǎn)品成本，不利于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。 世界玉米生產(chǎn)玉米是世界上三大谷物之一，產(chǎn)量高，增產(chǎn)潛力大，生產(chǎn)成本低。2003/，居糧食作物播種面積第二位，已經(jīng)超過小麥的產(chǎn)量，高居所有糧食品種之首。世界上主要的玉米生產(chǎn)國(guó)有阿根廷、巴西、中國(guó)、印度、墨西哥、歐盟和美國(guó)等諸多國(guó)家。世界各主要玉米生產(chǎn)國(guó)玉米產(chǎn)量見表21 世界各主要國(guó)玉米產(chǎn)量（萬(wàn)噸） 國(guó) 別01/02年02/03年03/04年04/05年05/06年所占比例%美國(guó)2414822880256282999227903中國(guó)1140812130115801280012700巴西35504500420035504400歐盟39683945398653354787墨西哥2040192821802
