Help

　　

　　As policeman Bright stepped on to the little sailing boat, it rose and fell in the quiet water of the small fishing-port．

　　“Anybody home?” he called．

　　“Yes, come on down, ”a voice cried． “Who is it?”

　　Bright went down the steps, and was met at the bottom by a young man with a large cigar fixed between his very white teeth．

　　“Good evening． I'm from the police station． Can I talk to you for a minute?”

　　“Of course, ”the young man said． “What s it about? ”

　　“About James Roland． He was murdered this afternoon． ”

　　The cigar almost fell out of the young man’s mouth．

　　“But that’s impossible． I was talking to him only this morning． He’s one of my closest friend． ”

　　“Yes, sir． I know． That's why I have to ask you some questions． Where were you between two and four o’clock this afternoon?”

　　“Well－it was a fine day． About 12 o’clock , I went for a sail． Then, about two o’clock , the wind died out completely． Not a breath． Nothing． I couldn't move． ”

　　“Don't you have an engine?”

　　“No, I don't． After about an hour, I got worried． ”

　　“No radio?”

　　“No．”

　　“What did you do?”

　　“I found a large white blanket in the boat． I painted HELP on it in big black letters． Then I pulled down my flag, and put up the blanket instead．”

　　“Did anyone see it?”

　　“I was very lucky． An hour or two later, a man in a motorboat came along． He said he saw my HELP sign from about three miles away． He helped me back into the port． ”

　　“Can I have this man's name, please?”

　　“I didn’t ask． ”

　　“Very well, the name of his boat?”

　　“I didn't notice it． It was a red boat．”

　　“This part of the river is full of red motorboats, sir． ”

　　“I suppose it is． Sorry I can’t help you． ”

　　“Oh, but you can, sir． ”

　　“Oh? How?”

　　“Just come along with me to the police station, if you will． Are you ready?”

　　“But why?”

　　“Because I don’t believe a word of your story． ”

　　There are many different types of beer available in pubs．Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature．As a result, the British are famous for their warm beer!If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager．This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown．All beers are served as pints(500 ml)or halves(250 ml)．To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer．So, you could say“________．”

　　Gaining lasting happiness has long been a subject of interest for scientists and surveys alike．But what makes us really happy and what lasting benefits does happiness have?

　　Scientists from the University of Illinois found the people who are happy and positive about life live longer．The researchers found “clear evidence” that happiness is key when it comes to better health and longer lifespan(寿命)．

　　A British study, which tracked members of 40,000 households across the country, concluded that eating a family meal at least three times a week is the key to happiness because it helps build a strong connection between parents and their children．

　　Research has also suggested that happiness begins at 50．A study from Stony Brook University, New York, found that stress, anger and worry fade after your 50^th．Women were also reported to suffer greater stress, worry and sadness at all ages．

　　Money makes the world go round, but it is not the key to happiness, according to other studies．However, other studies have found money can ________ after all, but only if you spend it wisely．Indeed, that might be why a good holiday can improve your happiness levels “for up to two months” after－although the break has to be “very relaxing” to have such an effect．

[1] If you read a newspaper or listen to a newscast(news report) recently, you may hear or read a strange word, “staycation.” Staycation is a new word the American press(newspapers, radio, and television) is using to describe a vacation very close to your own home, or simply staying at home during your vacation. It is a combination of the words “stay” and “vacation”.

[2] According to many news reports, these staycations are very popular among American families this year. Why? The high price of gasoline for cars and airplanes has made it very expensive for Americans to travel compared to past years. When you combine this with the weak American dollar, it all adds up to people deciding to stay close to home during their traditional summer vacations. Of course, some places are more interesting to “stay home at” than others. And if you live in a very small town, well, you may just want to skip your vacation and save your time up to next year!

（E）

Most people agree that the direct, assertive(过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the US children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.

Some straight talks about the American personality must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and business to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.

Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the US like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual.

Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.
