题目内容

　　Small children like to eat snow. Sometimes they make snow cones (圆锥状的东西) . But eating snow can be dangerous. The snow may be full of lead (铅) .

　　The air in cities has a lot of lead in it. Country air may have less. Most of the lead comes from cars. Snow falls and it soaks (吸收) up the lead from the air. More lead is trapped in the snow on the ground.

　　Even a little lead in the body can be dangerous. Lead can harm the brain. The body gets rid of lead very slowly, so bits of lead can build up.

　　Children often lick (舔) icicles (冰柱) hanging from a roof . That is even more dangerous than eating snow. The water in icicles runs off the roof and picks up lead. The lead builds up as the icicles grow longer.

　　We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the book-shelf. It stood outside a furniture shop.

　　“Buy it, ” she said at once.

　　“We'll carry it home on the roof-rack (车顶架). I've always wanted one like that. ”

　　What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.

As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

　　After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake (超车)?”

Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers (警官) inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church (教堂) . One of the officers came to me.

　　“Right, sir. ” he said. “Do you need any more help now?”

　　I didn't quite understand. “Thanks officer,” I said. “You've been very kind. I live just down the road. ”

　　He was looking at our things: first at the flowers then at the bookshelf. “Well, well, ” he said and laughed. “ It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was…er something else.”

　　My wife began to laugh. Suddenly, I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it's a bookshelf, but thanks again, ” I drove home as fast as I could.

An Honest Man

　　Jim was a young man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter (木匠) . He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates , too. They also made fun of him a great deal but he never got angry with them and would only laugh.

　　But Jim's one great shortcoming (缺点) was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush (脸红) even when he was telling the truth.

He spoke in a high voice. “Hello, ”he said nervously (神经紧张地). “I'm afraid Jim can't come to work today. He isn't feeling very well. ”

　　Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn' t see him just at that moment because his hands were trembling (发抖) and his face was bright red.

　　“Thank you for letting me know, ”said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, “Just a moment, madam, who' s speaking”.

The Train Ride－143 Years Later!

　　The year was 1839. Vice (副……) President Richard M.. Johnson was in New York City on his way to Philadelphia. He was expected(希望) at a meeting at 6:30 that evening. When did he begin his trip? At noon! In 1839, it took six and one-half hours by train and ferry(渡船) to get from New York City to Philadelphia. That wasn't so bad. In 1817, the trip took three days!

　　If this were a cold winter day, Vice President Johnson would have started much earlier. The Delaware River might freeze over. There would be no ferry and he would have had to walk across the ice.

　　Today, it's possible to leave New York City on the 9:00 a. m.train and be in Philadelphia at 10:29 a. m. In fact, some people live in New York City and work in Philadelphia. They use the train schedule(时刻表) below.

　　How do you read the train schedule? Suppose(假设) you're in New York City and you want to go to Princeton. Run your finger down the list of cities to find Princeton. Next, move your finger to the right. You will see the times that trains arrive in Princeton. Then run your finger up to the times listed across from New York. That's when the trains leave New York. Make your choice and enjoy the ride !

1．A doctor's office in Philadelphia opens at 9:00 a. m. What time must the doctor leave New York City to get there on time?

2．Suppose Vice President Johnson rode today's trains. What time would he have to leave New York to be in Philadelphia by 1:30 p. m. ?
