您好:1Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If
explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse.
Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine.
They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a
hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have pleted the job in a few
hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have
a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two
hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with the closest relatives.
Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and
confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations
are progressing *** oothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through
the hard rock, they would lose heart.
六个人被困在矿井里十七小时.如果不把他们尽快的表面,他们可能会失去他们的生命.然而,事实证明营救工作非常困难.如果用炸药爆破,震动会使矿井的顶部倒塌.所以救援人员钻了一个洞矿井的北侧.他们打算将这些人在一个特殊的胶囊.如果不是有一层坚硬的岩石下的土壤,他们已经完成工作了几个小时.事实上,他们已经钻了十六个小时,他们还有很长的路要走.与此同时,一个麦克风,这是两个小时以前放下井去,使这些人能与他们最亲近的亲属保持联系.虽然他们已耗尽了食物和饮料,但这些人的心情很好,坚信他们很快就会滚出去.他们被告知救援行动进展顺利.如果他们知道钻透坚硬的岩石,他们会丧失信心.

People will do anything to
see a free show--even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a variety
show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company,
we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must
have been several hundred people present just be- fore the show began.
Unfortunately, the show was one of the llest we have ever seen. Those who
failed to get in need not have felt disappointed as many of the artistes who
should have appeared did not e. The only funny things we heard that evening
came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously
very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As
soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the
poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and
Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen !'
人们会做任何事去看一场免费的演出——即使是坏的.的消息传开后,综艺节目将在我们当地影院演出的消息传开后,我们都赶紧跑去观看.我们必须排几个小时的长队去肯定已有好几百人了——演出开始之前.不幸的是,这次演出是我们所看过的最乏味的.那些没能进来的人不需要感到失望,因为很多应该出场的专业演员都没有来.我们听到的唯一有趣的事情,晚上从广告商开始时的方案.显然他神经十分紧张,他在麦克风前局促不安地站了好几分钟.当他打开他的嘴,每个人都大笑起来.我们都知道那位可怜的人应该说什么,但他实际上说的是:“这是poo和Ee食鸟公司.好女士们,晚上好!”

Though Brazil is one
of the richest countries in the world, much of it has not yet been developed.
It was mainly for this reason that the Brazilian government decided to have a new city built 600 miles north-west of Rio de Janeiro. Designed by the great
architect Lucio Costa, the new city, Brasilia, replaced Rio
de Janeiro as the capital of Brazif in 1960. Brasilia has been
carefully planned for modern living. Its wide roads, which can take fourteen
lanes of traffic, have been kept
away from living areas.
Children do not have to cross busy streets to go to school. Housewives can
visit-shopping centres on foot, for in these specially designed living areas,
cars are unnecessary. At first, the government had great difficulty in
persuading people to leave Rio and to settle in Brasilia. Since 1960, however, the population
has been growing all the time. Brasilia
has quickly established itself as the capital of the country. The idea to have
the capital moved so far inland will have a great effect on the future of Brazil.

A pilot noticed a balloon
which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby. He informed the
station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery. The officer
in the control tower was very angry when he heard the news, because balloons
can be a great danger to aircraft. He said that someone might by spying on the
station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object. The
pilot managed to circle the balloon for some time. He could make out three men
in a basket under it and one of them was holding field-glasses. When the
balloon was over the station, the pilot saw one of the men taking photographs.
Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield.
The police were called in, but they could not arrest anyone, for the basket
contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station!
As the Commanding Officer explained later, one half of the station did not know
what the other half was doing !
一个飞行员发现了一只气球,它像是附近的一个皇家空军基地.他马上通知了基地,但那里的人没有一个能解释的谜.控制塔上的*得知这一消息后,非常气愤,因为气球有可能给飞机造成极大的危险.他说可能有人对基地进行侦察和命令那个飞行员跟踪那个奇怪的飞行物.飞行员设法绕着气球转了一段时间.他把篮子里有三个男人和一个拿着双筒望远镜.当气球飞临车站,飞行员看见有一个人在照片.此后不久,气球开始降落,并在一个机场附近着陆.*被召来了,但他们却不能逮捕任何人,因为筐里是个国会议员和基地指挥官!正如指挥官后来解释说,基地的这半边不知道另一半的人在做!

It must have been about two
in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the
door-bell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the
garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.
I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,' I don't think the
windows need cleaning at this time of the night.'
I looked down and nearly
fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering
in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
'So do I,' answered the
policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a
man when he's busy working, but would you mind ing with me to the station ?'
'Well, I'd prefer to stay
here,' I said. 'You see, I've forgotten my key.'
'Your what ?' he called.
'My key,' I shouted.'
Fortunately, the shouting
woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to
climb towards me.
我回到家时,肯定已是凌晨两点左右.我试图唤醒我的妻子,按响了门铃,但她睡得很熟,所以我有一个梯子,从花园的棚子里,把它靠在墙边,开始向卧室的窗口爬去.我几乎没有时的口吻说,“我看不必在晚上的这个时候擦窗子.”
我低头一看,差点从梯子上掉下来时,我看到一个*.我立刻后悔我做了这样的回答,我说,“我喜欢在夜里擦窗子.”
“我也是的,”*用同样的声调回答.”请原谅我打断你的话.我恨打断一个人当他忙着干活,但请您跟我到车站吗?”
“好,我宁愿呆在这儿,”我说.”你看,我忘记带我的钥匙了.”
“什么?”他叫.
“我的钥匙,”我喊道.”
幸运的是,这喊声惊醒了我的妻子打开窗子就在*开始向我爬来.
