题目内容

There was once a man who couldn't sleep well because he was afraid that there was a stranger under his bed. He thought that as soon as he went to sleep, the stranger would come out from the bed and rob(抢劫) him. He was worried that the stranger might even kill him!

Every night, after he got into bed, the man had to get up again and looked under the bed. There was never anyone there, but as soon as he got back into bed, he had to get up and looked under the bed again. This went on for hours until at last he fell asleep from exhaustion.

The time came for the man to get married. He didn't tell his wife about his fears but she soon found out because he kept her awake all night.

"You must go to see a doctor," she told him. "He will make you become well. You won't have such silly fear again."

The man did as his wife told him. He told the doctor his problem, and the doctor said, "You can be well again, but it will take about two years. You must come and see me three times a week. The cost for each visit will be $ 75. "

The next day the man called the doctor and said, "l won't need to visit you again. I'm well now."

The doctor was amazed. "How?" he asked. "Who made you get well?"

My Year Abroad

This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.

Mariko Okada – Tokyo

My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.

Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!

Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

Studying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my home stay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!

There is a new sport in America. It’s a game called “Earthball”. “Earthball” is like a huge beach ball. While you are playing the game, you should try to keep the ball in the air if possible. As the ball is so big, lots of people have to play together. A man called Stuart Frand invented the game. There are no winners or losers in the game. The idea is just to enjoy yourself as much as you can.

“Earthball” is just one of the games in a “New Game Festival”. The festival was first held in the countryside near San Francisco, in the USA; Perhaps other countries can follow the example of the men from California and have festivals to try out new games－it sounds like a good idea.
