题目内容

Old George bought the black gloves for just $35 ten years ago. They were made of lamb skin (羊羔皮), soft and warm and very strong. Until then, he had worn cheaper man-made material. Those gloves never lasted longer than three years. He first decided to buy the expensive gloves, because they would make him feel nice in front of others.

George never let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked new. Losing this favourite thing was almost like losing a child to him.

Bad luck! George lost his expensive gloves on New Year’s Day…

Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do without a pair of gloves. If he bought cheap ones again, he would have to replace (更换) them very soon. If he bought a new leather (皮革的) pair, it would cost $50 now. He was upset that people no longer returned things they found on the road.

After the holiday, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before taking the subway, he went into Value Mart (特价市场) again to see if his gloves had been returned to the Lost and Found Office.

“What colour are they?”the woman in the office asked again.

“Black,”he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer (抽屉) and took out a pair of men’s leather gloves.“Are they?”

“Yes! Those are mine!”George explained, with great joy in his eyes.

On an online forum （论坛）, some students are having a discussion. They are talking about whether it is better to use bicycles or to drive cars in the city.

Matthew 2018-11-21 20：22

I believe that nowadays, it is better to use a bicycle. First, bicycles are safer. A person can't reach a high speed on a bicycle. Secondly, cars damage the environment. They produce a lot of harmful gases. People are building more and more roads. Wildlife habitats（栖息地）are being destroyed.

Samuel 2018-11-21 20：25.

I don't agree with Matthew. Imagine you have a well-paid job and you choose to ride a bicycle to work. Your nice suit would become dirty and your hair would look messy（凌乱的）. You would not be able to meet your customers.

Nowadays, first impressions are everything. ·Just imagine what would happen if you came on a bicycle to sign a million dollar contract（合同）!
