A diligent1 lad worked at a laboratory. The lab largely produced laser instruments. The lad’s job largely was to label the laser instruments. He liked his job at large and worked hard. He did not even rest on Labor’s Day. In his mind, hard work was a ladder to success. One evening, as usual, the lad turned off the lamps in the ladies’ room and men’s room. Then he laced up his shoes and went home. He lived in an inn. It was a nice inn except for the cold landlady2 and the boring landlord there. The landlady always wore a dress with delicate lace. The lad carried a lantern because the lane he took was dark. On the way, he heard something. He looked back then found a lamb. The lamb was lame3 in its lap. It seemed to lack good care. The lad did not know the animal’s language, but he touched it softly. At last the lad decided4 to adopt it even though he adopted a lark5 lately. The lamb followed him. It lagged behind because of its lame lap, so from time to time the lad waited for it to catch up with him. The landlady and the landlord would return by plane that night. Fortunately, the plane’s landing was delayed because of fog. Thus the lad could hide the lamb in time.

It was too weak to lift its limp paws. It was likely to be hurt by the fallen limb. Diana knew her limitations. In the light of her mother’s comments, her love had no limit. In fact, there was much likeness19 between her mother and her. Diana held the dog in her arms. The dog licked her hand. Its head touched her shoulder lightly. Diana went to a hospital. Only a limited number of hospitals were available to animals. A full moon lightened their path to the hospital. The doctor said the problem lied in its forelimb and it would not die. Diana’s heart lightened when she heard it. Two weeks later, the dog could walk with a limp. One day, there was some likelihood of rain. In a lift, Diana met a man who asked her if she had a cigarette lighter20. The man approached her and suddenly he took out a dagger21, "Give me your purse!"

The dog never lied, and it even saved her from danger. When they returned home, to reward the dog, Diana lifted the lid of the lot and took out a big bone for him.

A Madam lived in a magnificent palace. The magnitude of the palace was unbelievable. The Madam had no idea of machinery35 but she was mad for make-up. Like a magnet attracted nails, make-up attracted her. In this macroscopic world, nothing else interested her. The Madam majored in make-up skills. Every morning, she made out a list of fashion magazines and make-ups. She ordered her maids to buy them. At first the purchase team was made up of two maids. Finally, eight maids made it up . Did make-up make for looks? Yes, Make-up could make up for a lack of beauty. It was a magician who played magic. Make-up was necessary to maintain the Madam’s looks. Her good looks were mainly from make-up. The majority of her acquaintances thought the make-up magnified her beauty 10 times. So the Madam thought she got the magnetism36 she wanted. But her husband did not think she was magnetic as she hoped. Every time when he came back from the mainland, he hardly made out his wife. He shook his head and made for the study. The Madam could not make it out whether it was praise or criticism.
一位夫人住在一座宏伟的宫殿里。宫殿的巨大是难以置信的。这位夫人对机器没有任何概念，但她对化妆品却非常狂热。像磁铁吸引钉子一样，化妆品吸引着她。在这个宏观的世界，没有任何其他东西能够让她感兴趣了。这位夫人专攻化妆术。每天早上，她开列一个时尚杂志和化妆品的清单。她命令她的女仆去购买。起初，采购小组由两名女仆组成。最后，8名女仆组成了采购小组。化妆品有助于容颜吗?是的，化妆品能够弥补美丽不足。它是一个会施魔法的魔法师。化妆品对维持这位夫人的容颜很必要。她的美貌主要来自于化妆。她大多数熟人认为化妆品把她的美丽放大了10倍。于是这位夫人认为她得到了她想要的吸引力。但她的丈夫不认为她有她希望的那样是有吸引力的。每次他从大陆回来，他几乎辨认不出他的妻子。他摇摇头走向书房。这位夫人不能理解那是赞美呢还是批评。

特纳先生有结婚了，一家人住在一个中等大小的房子里。这位稳健的先生可是错误地结了婚，因为新的女主人是个女巫。实际上，她是一个魔鬼的情妇。每天夜里，她都盯着镜子问谁是世界上最美丽的女人。特纳先生有一个女儿名叫白雪。白雪是个模范女儿。她从来不恶作剧。但女主人仍然嘲笑她的穿衣方式。她伤害了白雪多次。孩子遭遇不幸，她觉得很痛苦。最后她离开了家。她的父亲动员了一个使团去搜寻这个失踪的女孩。但女巫用薄雾把他们带错路。当白雪15岁的时候，她像一个时装模特那样美丽。镜子也告诉了女巫这一点。她非常愤怒。在一次模拟的谋杀之后，她派出了一个猎人。猎人假装误解了他的命令。他放走了白雪。在一个温和的日子里，女主人在牛奶中放入了毒药并用勺子经它们混合起来。她装成一个老妇人并骗白雪喝了这混合物。女孩呻吟了一会后就昏迷过去。一个活动医疗队碰巧经过。白雪恢复了性命真是奇迹。这次，愤怒的女巫想要发射一颗远程导弹。警察在特纳先生的帮助下解释逮捕了她。
The ruler in this country was as monstrous57 as a monster. He did not know that a molecule58 is made up of atoms, so he forbade the others to go to school. He installed monitors everywhere to monitor the people. The monetary59 system became a government monopoly. The ruler was in no mood for thinking of modernization60. Every time his subordinates asked to see him, he always answered, "I am watching TV for the moment. I am busy at the moment. Wait for a moment. I will come in a moment." His subordinates waited and waited but could not see him. One day, the ruler wanted to build a monument to himself. He wasn’t modest at all. A huge mold was modified to build the monument. The moist season set in and the moisture made the builder work harder. The monument was done. The moment the ruler saw it, he cried with momentary61 excitement. Now he had another ridiculous request. He forced all the ministers to pay homage62 to the monument monthly! Nobody was interested in his monotonous63 show, but none of them dared to say that.
这个国家的统治者像怪物一样可怕。他不知道分子是由原子组成的，于是他禁止别人去上学。他到处安装监视器来监控人民。金融系统成了政府的一项垄断。统治者没有情绪来思考现代化。每次他的下属要求见他，他总是回答："我现在正在看电视。我此刻很忙。等一会儿。我马上就来"他的下属等啊等啊最后还是见不到他。一天，统治者像要给自己建一座纪念碑。他根本都不谦虚。一个巨大的模子被改造来建造他的纪念碑。潮湿的季节来了。湿气使建造更加艰难。但纪念碑还是造好了。统治者一看见纪念碑就因为瞬间的激动而大叫起来。现在他有另一个荒谬的要求了。他强迫所有的大臣每月一次参拜他的纪念碑！没人对他单调的表演感兴趣，但没人敢说出来。

On the first morning, the sky was a mosaic64 of blue and white. The players mounted a high mountain. More or less they felt tired. At night, they lied down on the moss65 to sleep. Mosquitoes and mice visited them. The next day ,they needed to cross a river. It seemed that the mountainous waves would turn the ship over. A man was hurt. Martha suggested they stop to help him. But her motion was rejected. The others thought the situation became more and more urgent. Time lost return no more. Martha had a high standard of morality. Her moral sense let her made a decision.

His injuroes proved mortal. Even though man is mortal, Martha mourned for the dead friend.
玛莎想参加铁人赛。她的动机是想挣点钱和得到一个戴银底座的奖杯。她刚刚抵押了她的房子。她的竞争对手大部分是男性。每个选手分配到不超过5磅的食物。每个人必须充分利用它。每个人每顿仅仅能吃一口食物。第一天早晨，天空像一幅蓝白镶嵌的图画。选手们登上一座高山。或多或少，他们感到累了。晚上，他们躺在苔藓上睡觉。蚊子和老鼠来拜访他们。第二天，他们需要渡河。山一般的波浪似乎要把船儿打翻。有个人受了伤。玛莎建议他们停下来帮助他。但是她的提议被否决了。其他人认为形势越来越紧急，时间流失就不再回来。玛莎有高尚的美德。她的道德感让她做了一个决定。她退出了比赛护送伤员回去。玛莎背着伤员走在高速公路上。高速公路很脏，而且很危险。他们的移动很缓慢。路上，玛莎发现了一辆车子，但发电机是坏的。她花了一个小时修好。然后她开车飞快去医院，但那人已经死了。他受的伤势致命的。虽然人终有一死，玛莎还是哀悼那位死去的朋友。
Our town built a cinema recently. In a few weeks, the audiences multiplied tenfold. Last week I saw two movies. One was a musical. The other one was about an ancient Greek myth. This evening, there would be a thrilling movie. After my delicious supper, roast mutton and fried mushroom, I went to the cinema. It rained and the rain turned dust into mud. But a multitude of people had gathered at the gate of the cinema. I could hear someone murmuring in the crowd. The film began on time. It said about a famous musician. He had multiple achievements on music. One night the musician was murdered mysteriously in the municipal museum! Why he went there was a mystery to everybody. His wife was mute on the subject. The police suggested they give mutual67 support to each other. But she only kept on muttering to herself. At the end of the movie, the big and muscular killer68 appeared again!
我们的小镇最近建了一座电影院。几个星期内，观众倍增了10倍。上周我看了两部电影。一部是音乐片，另一部是关于古希腊神话的。今晚将有一部恐怖片。在吃过可口的晚饭，烤羊肉和煎蘑菇后，我去了电影院。天下着雨，雨水把尘土变成了泥浆。但众多的人已经聚集在电影院的门口。我可以听见有人在人群里小声抱怨。电影准时开演。电影说的是一个著名的音乐家。他在音乐上有多样的成就。一天夜里，这个音乐家在市政博物馆被人神秘地谋杀了！他为什么去那里对所有人来说都是件神秘的事情。他的妻子对此话题保持缄默。警方建议他们双方相互支持。但她只是自己咕哝着什么。在电影的结尾，那个高大而且肌肉发达的凶手又出现了！
A naval69 officer was of English nationality. He had served in the English Navy for many years. Once he came back home every time, some naughty boys followed him. They asked him to narrate71 his exciting navigation. This time , he told them a strange nation. There were two colors in their national flag, namely, blue and white. The native people were nearly naked in summer. It was quite natural for them to do that. They cared naught70 for it because they didn’t have nasty minds at all. But more and more people would visit that place; there was necessity for them to wear clothes. The situation would necessitate72 it . To add to their beauty, woman painted their nails and wore wooden necklaces around their necks. The native people had narrow range of interests. They liked to make their houses neat and take a nap in the afternoon. What in nature made the nation attract visitors? The native people were very na?ve. They were hospitable73 by nature.
