题目内容

What do you think Americans in the early twentieth century (1900--1925) did on weekends? What do they do on weekends now?

Then

Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends. Then, new inventions changed the weekends.

People used electric(电动的) streetcars to travel in cities. On weekends, they rode the streetcars to parks. Young people liked roller coasters.

The first movie lasted only one minute. Soon movies lasted longer. In the 1920s, movie theaters sold millions of tickets each week. In 1927, movies had sound. Sometimes, people stayed at home instead, and listened to another new invention — radio.

People in cities worked indoors during the week, so they wanted to be outdoors on weekends. Bicycling became a popular activity.

Now

With more time, money and inventions, people have many more choices.

They can visit large parks like Disney World and ride modern roller coasters that go higher and faster than ever before.

They can choose from lots of different movies at a multiplex (a building with many movie theaters) or watch a video at home.

Many people jog, bicycle, work out at the gym, or play sports. Others turn on their TV and watch sports.

The driver always listened to Einstein’s lecture, which the great scientist gave again and again. One day he told Einstein that he knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself. Einstein smiled and said, “Why don’t you give the lecture for me next time?” The driver agreed.

That evening both of them went along to the lecture hall. Nobody there knew Einstein. As the driver took his place on the stage everybody clapped. Then he started the lecture. Sure enough he didn’t make a single mistakes. It was a greet success, and when it was over, people clapped and clapped. Then he started to leave, shaking hands with everybody, while Einstein followed quietly a few steps behind.

Just before he got to the door, a man stopped them and asked the driver a very difficult question. The driver listened carefully. Of course, he did not understand a thing, but he nodded as if he did.
