Hundreds of people lined up at Grand Central Terminal yesterday,but they weren’t there to catch a train.They came to New York City’s famous railroad station to trade in old dollar bills for the new George Washington Presidential $1 coin.   

    The gold--colored coin is the first in a new series by the U.S.Mint(造币厂)that honors former U.S.Presidents.The Mint will issue four Presidential $l coins a year through 2016.Presidential $1 coins will come out in the order in which each President served.The George Washington coin is the first to be released.John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison coins will come out later this year.

A New Look

    Not Just for Collectors 

    Becky Gross,16,was one of the first people to put a Presidential coin in her pocket.She and her mother,Karen Martin,were visiting New York from London,England,on the day the new coins were released.They say t he coins make a great souvenir.

But the coins aren’t just for collectors.“The new Presidential $l coins are an educational and fun way to learn about former President s,”says U.S.Mint director Edmund Moy.They have practical uses too.At Grand Cent real Terminal,Moy kicked off the coin exchange by placing a Presidential $1 coin in a New York City parking meter.

Phonetics Professor Henry Higgins first meets Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl, near the Royal Opera House, late on a cold March night. Eliza is selling flowers. Higgins is out on his endless search for new dialects of London’s speech.
     Higgins makes a bet with Colonel Pickering that he can turn the cockney(伦敦腔)flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a lady within three months. To do so, he must change her thick London accent, teach her to speak proper English and teach her manners.
     Higgins looks upon her not as a person but as raw material for his experiment. He trains Eliza for weeks. When no progress is made, Eliza, loses her courage, Higgins loses his temper, and even Pickering’s patience wears thin.
     At last she improves. In order to test Eliza, he decides to introduce her to his mother’s guests at the Ascot Race Meeting. Eliza proves to be a success. Pickering and Higgins are very proud, and neither of them takes into account Eliza’s personal accomplishments in the matter. Eliza has absorbed the sophistication(世故)and the courage to see the unfairness of  this, and she blows up, demanding recognition. The Professor is astonished. It is as though a statue has come to life and spoken. Eliza rushes out of the house angrily.
     Higgins discovers that he is hurt because Eliza leaves him. He meets her at his mother’s flat where she has gone for advice. They argue violently and she storms out. It is only a moment after her departure that Higgins finally wakes up to the fact that Eliza has become an entirely independent and admirable human being. He realizes that he will have a difficult time getting on without her.

A. He is buying some flowers.

A. To become very excited.
