Dick was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when there was an earthquake(地震). Luckily his sister had taken him to see their aunt in the city and they were not at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt, who was not rich, they grew up but they lived a hard life. Dick’s sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女). After Dick finished middle school, he found a job in a hotel and began to work there.
   One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to stay in hospital. He said to the nurse, “ I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward for me, please.”
   “Can’t any body help you?” she asked.
   “No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s a nun and she’s poor, too.”
   “I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest person in the world, you know!”
“ Well, then,” Dick said with a smile, “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and send the bill to my brother-in-law(姐夫).”

When you come to Auckland as a foreigner,you’ll easily find a traditional pub(酒吧)either in small towns or in big cities. In these pubs many different kinds of drinks such as wine, beer, coke, coffee, and juice are served. You can find out the local culture. However, if you don′ t know the pub culture, you may feel embarrassed or even get into trouble.
Most pubs in Auckland have no waiters, so you have to go to the bar to get your own drinks. Those who don’t know this may wait a very long time before they realize they would have to fetch their own drinks. While you are standing in front of the bar waiting for service, you are able to chat with others who are also waiting for service. The bar counter(柜台)is possibly the only place you can find in Auckland to talk friendly with strangers. But while you are chatting with others or talking about what you want to order, you mustn’t block all the entrance to the bar.
Remember, you’ll never go into the pubs unless you are over 18.
