[01:26.87]He put a sheet of paper into his typewriter, ;
[01:30.53]looked out of the window,and looked at his watch. It was noon. ;

[03:43.94]   A Bread in the     Routine ;
[03:47.50]Jonathan Rivers lived alone in a neat,two- storey, semi-detached house ;
[03:53.71]in Compton Street. ;
[03:55.78]Like many bachelors approaching middle age, ;
[03:59.81]he was getting rather set in his ways.He cau -ght the same train to London every morning, ;
[04:07.29]ate his lunch in the same crowded restau- rant near the office where he worked ;
[04:12.44]and always came home on the 6.00 train. ;
[04:16.47]People were so used to seeing Jonathan set off at a quarter past eight, ;
[04:22.57]dressed in a simple dark suit, ;
[04:25.07]wearing a black bowler -hat and carrying a rolled umbrella on his arm, ;
[04:30.80]that they said you didn't need to wear a watch if you lived in Compton Street. ;
[04:36.74]Ever since Jonathan had set up house in Compton Street, ;
[04:41.95]he had looked after it very carefully. ;
[04:45.18]He worked hard in the garden every Sunday ;
[04:49.00]and set out to impress the neighbours with his flower beds and lawn. ;
[04:54.15]Before he left the house in the mornings, ;
[04:57.65]he carefully closed all the doors downstairs, ;
[05:01.37]opened some windows to let the air in and locked the front door. ;
[05:06.30]Everything Jonathan did was tidy and systematic.One summer evening ;
[05:14.53]Jonathan returned home as usual at five minutes to seven precisely. ;
[05:20.15]When he opened the front gate he imme -diately noticed something strange. ;
[05:25.78]There was a heavy footprint in the earth in one of the flower beds. ;
[05:31.46]Jonathan was just going to blame the milkman or the postman ;
[05:35.97]when he noticed that one of the white lace curtains ;
[05:39.26]in the front room downstairs was out of place. ;
[05:42.92]Jonathan never left anything out of place. ;
[05:47.27]He walked up to the front door and opened it quietly. ;
[05:51.62]He listened carefully for a few moments but could hear nothing. ;
[05:56.29]The front-room door was half-open. ;
[05:59.79]Jonathan studied it thoughtfully, ;
[06:02.55]wondering if he had forgotten to close it that morning. ;
[06:06.43]He had never forgotten before. ;
[06:09.51]He stepped silently across the hall to the door and looked inside the room. ;
[06:15.93]The shadow of a man was clearly reflected on the far wall in the evening sunlight. ;
[06:22.67]He had obviously been standing behind the door since Jonathan's return. ;
[06:28.72]Jonathan grabbed the door-handle,slammed the door and turned the key. ;
[06:35.14]Then he calmly picked up the telephone in the hall ;
[06:39.44]and set about calling the police. ;
[06:42.52]The burglar,a tall, thick-set,bearded fellow, ;
[06:47.77]tried to climb through a window to get out but Jonathan had expected that. ;
[06:53.77]He set about him with his umbrella, using it like a sword. ;
[06:59.29]Three minutes later the police arrived on the scene. ;
[07:03.79]Jonathan was a little annoyed that he had to have dinner later than usual ;
[07:09.37]but on the whole he felt quite pleased with himself. ;
[07:14.52]   Lesson 23 ;
[07:46.46]    Text A Would You Like a Shave or a Haircut? ;
[07:52.25]A poor farmer who had always lived in the country ;
[07:57.08]and had never visited a big town won a lot of money,so he decided ;
[08:02.59]that he could now afford a holiday in an excellent hotel by the sea. ;
[08:07.48]When lunch-time came on his first day there, ;
[08:11.62]he decided to go and eat in the restaurant of the hotel. ;
[08:15.97]The head waiter showed him to his table,took his order and went away. ;
[08:22.65]When he looked at the farmer again, he had a surprise! ;
[08:26.85]The farmer had tied his table napkin round his neck. ;
[08:31.78]The head waiter was very annoyed at this and immediately ;
[08:35.76]told one of the other waiters in the resta -urant to go to the man ;
[08:39.69]and inform him,without being in any way insulting, ;
[08:43.30]that people did not do such a thing in restaurants of that quality. ;
[08:48.23]The waiter went to the farmer and said in a friendly voice, ;
[08:52.74]"Good morning,sir. Would you like a shave,or a haircut?" ;

[20:40.94]Mr and Mrs Williams had always spent their summer holidays in England in the past ;
[20:47.09]in a small boarding- -house at the seaside. ;
[20:50.70]One year,however,Mr Williams made a lot of money in his business, ;

[21:00.52]while they went around and saw the sights of that famous city. ;
[21:04.02]They flew to Rome,and arrived at their hotel late one evening. ;
[21:09.33]They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, ;
[21:13.26]because in the boarding-houses they had been used to in the past, ;
[21:17.13]no meals were served after seven o'clock in the evening. ;
[21:20.63]They were therefore surprised ;
[21:22.81]when the clerk who received them in the hall of the hotel ;
[21:25.62]asked them whether they would be taking dinner there that night. ;
[21:29.39]"Are you still serving dinner then?"asked Mrs Williams. ;
[21:33.63]"Yes,certainly, madam,"answered the clerk. ;

[24:23.87]B:I've no idea.Oh   yes,and the most   ridiculous thing. ;
[24:29.13]  He asked me what I   had for breakfast   this morning. ;
[24:32.68]A:Oh well,that's it.   They obviously   think you're a   desperate criminal ;
[24:38.20]  and you have to   steal to eat.I   should think you'll   get thirty years. ;
[24:43.40]B:Hmm.Thank you   very much. ;
[24:47.60]   Lesson 27 ;
[25:18.75]    Text A  The Shopping List ;
[25:22.57]Mrs Black was having a lot of trouble with her skin, ;
[25:26.92]so she went to her doctor about it. ;
[25:29.79]He could not find anything wrong with her,however, ;
[25:33.18]so he sent her to the local hospital for tests.The hospital, of course, ;
[25:38.59]sent the results of the tests direct to Mrs Black's doctor, ;
[25:42.73]and the next morning he telephoned her ;
[25:45.60]to give her a list of the things that he thought she should not eat, ;
[25:49.26]as any of them might be the cause of her skin trouble. ;
[25:53.40]Mrs Black carefully wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, ;
[25:58.65]which she then left beside the telephone while she went out to a ladies'meeting. ;
[26:04.49]When she got back home two hours later,she found her husband waiting for her. ;
[26:10.70]He had a big basket full of packages beside him, ;
[26:14.68]and when he saw her, he said,"Hullo,dear. I have done all your shopping for you." ;
[26:20.78]"Done all my shopping? "she asked in surprise "But how did you know what I wanted?" ;
[26:26.73]"Well,when I got home, I found your shopping list beside the telephone," ;
[26:31.72]answered her husband, ;
[26:33.63]"so I went down to the shops and bought everything you had written down." ;
[26:39.30]Of course,Mrs Black had to tell him ;
[26:42.65]that he had bought all the things the doctor did not allow her to eat! ;
[26:48.11]    Text B  Under Terrible     Strain ;
[26:54.27]Betty and Jean are on their way to work. ;
[26:57.77]BETTY:What was the   party like last   night,Jean? ;
[27:01.06]JEAN:Not bad at all,   thanks.There were   one or two intere   -sting people there. ;
[27:06.21]  Why couldn't   you come? ;
[27:08.28]BETTY:Well,I couldn't   get away from work   early. ;
[27:11.73]  And when I got home   I had a headache,so   I had to go straight   to bed. ;
[27:17.04]  But I was over-tired   because I wasn't   able to get to   sleep for hours. ;
[27:23.25]JEAN:What a shame.   Why didn't you   take a sleeping   pill? ;
[27:27.97]BETTY:I don't like   them. ;
[27:29.98]  I used to take them   when I had to work   overtime,you know. ;
[27:33.59]JEAN:How many did   you use to take? BETTY:Three every   night. ;
[27:38.47]JEAN:Good heavens.   Why did you take   so many? ;
[27:42.72]BETTY:Because I was   under a terrible   strain. ;
[27:45.32]  The doctor said they   weren't very strong. ;
[27:48.03]  Anyway,I used to   feel awful the   next morning. ;
[27:51.69]JEAN:I'm sure you   did. ;
[27:53.49]BETTY:The doctor   said I had to   be careful. ;
[27:55.88]JEAN:He was quite   right. ;
[27:57.79]BETTY:So I stopped   drinking coffee   late at night   instead. ;

[28:15.14] A Language Mix-Up ;
[28:18.06]Two young British tourists were traveling in France ;
[28:23.05]when a policeman stopped their car and gave it a search. ;
[28:27.72]He found a bag of white powder which looked suspicious. ;
[28:33.29]"Drogue?" asked the heroin-conscious policeman. ;
[28:37.33]"Yes,dogs,"they responded,and promptly found themselves in jail. ;
[28:44.54]Analysis of the powder revealed that it was a chemical ;
[28:49.53]which gives off a smell, ;
[28:51.34]used to discourage dogs from using the sides of the car as a toilet. ;
[28:56.96]The tourists were set free, ;
[28:59.99]after promising to take a few French lessons ;
[29:03.28]before their next vacation in France. ;
