seats were needed for important government people and high rank (等级) officers in the army.
Mr. Brown worked for the government during the war. He acted as an ordinary cook but in fact he was
doing important secret work, and nobody was allowed to know how important he was except for a few very
top people.
One day Mr. Brown had to fly to London to give a report to some important people in the government
and army. He placed (预订) an order for a seat in a plane. But when Mr. Brown was about to get onto the
plane, an important army officer came to the airport at the last minute, and Mr. Brown's seat was given to
the officer, so Mr. Brown had to wait for the next plane which was to fly to London two days later.
It was not until he reached London that the high rank officer discovered that the man whose seat he had
taken was the very one whose report he had flown to the city to listen to!

Internet people can "farm" on a piece of "land" and "grow", "sell" or even "steal" "vegetables","flowers" and
"fruits". They can make some e-money and buy more "seeds"," pets" and even "houses". Of course, all those
are not true, you know, they are on the net!
I interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
A parent says she doesn't quite understand why they are so mad about the childish games. Maybe they
are just not confident enough to face the real world.
Many junior high school children say they enjoy putting some "bugs" in her friends "gardens" and they've
become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing.
Most young office workers think their work is too much for them and wish to relax for a while. Besides,
it gives them the exciting experience of being a "thief".
But almost all the teachers say it's just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours
on it that they can not pay attention to their study.

The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, ‘It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.’ Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, ‘She isn’t exactly friendly.’ Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways. The first important way is that they provide man with food，wood and other products. Trees provide man and animals with food to live on the earth. It’s not easy for man to live on the earth without trees.
The second important way is that trees give us shade. On a hot summer day，people are eager to（急于）have a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.
