¡¡¡¡A man went to see his doctor one day because he was suffering (ÊÜ¡¡Ö®¿à) from pains in his stomach(θ) . After the doctor had examined him carefully, he said to him, ¡°Well, there's nothing really wrong with you, I'm glad to say. Your only trouble is that you worry too much. Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you in here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I'm going to give you. He was worried because he couldn't pay his tailor's bills. I told him not to worry his head about the bills any more. He followed my advice, and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now feels quite all right again. ¡±
¡¡¡¡¡°Yes, I know all about that, ¡± answered the patient sadly. ¡°You see, I'm that man's tailor(²Ã·ì).¡±

Sunday wants to write about West Hill in Sunshine Town for her history project. She is interviewing Mr.Hu, a 60-year-old man, who lives in West Hill. Read their conversation.
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Sandy: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ How long have you lived in West Hill, Mr.Hu? ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Mr.Hu: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ I¡¯ve lived here all my life. I met my wife here and ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡we got married. This area was called Taihe Village before. ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Sandy: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ When did they change the name? ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Mr.Hu: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ 5¡¡When ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡the West Hill underground station was built, the government started to ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡take down the wooden houses in this area. Since June 2000, Taihe Village ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡has become history. ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Sandy: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ What do you miss most about Taihe Village? ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Mr.Hu: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ 10¡¡I ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡miss many things about Taihe Village. I was a dentist and everyone in ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Taihe Village knew me well. Now, I'm old and I can only sell medicine to ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡people in the street. In the past, there were many stone and wooden ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡houses around here. Also, there were big trees in the village. The air ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡was very fresh. ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Sandy: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Did you have noise pollution from cars and trains? ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Mr.Hu: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ 15¡¡Yes, ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡but not very serious. ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Sandy: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ I¡¯ve heard that the food stalls were very famous ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡here. Is it true? ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Mr.Hu: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ 20¡¡Yes. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡The food stalls sold very good snacks but they all moved. That's why it ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡was easy to find mice here before. Everyone in the village was used to ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡seeing mice. We weren¡¯t surprised to see mice in the street at night. ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Sandy: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ That's terrible! ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Mr.Hu: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ 25¡¡We're ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡glad that it has improved so much but I really miss everything here in ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡the past. Many of my friends moved because the government gave them new ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡flats in new towns. I sometimes feel lonely. Every time I see a ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡chessboard, I think about them. ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
|
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Sandy: ¡¡¡¡ |
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Mr.Hu, thank you so much for the information. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Although the village has disappeared, it is still beautiful in your ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡heart. ¡¡¡¡ |
