（51）The farmer did not spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole. When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with his tractor and charged the driver a lot of money for doing this.

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements (广告) in the newspapers.
the
“Last week,” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a gift, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.” （54）“How did you write your advertisement,” asked a businessman..
“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper.
The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten pounds on leaving it at No.10 Broad Street”
“Now,” said the businessman, “I often
advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is very important. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.”
The businessman then took a piece of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the
man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.”
This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was surprised
when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and

Passage Four
（55）Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity. It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal, even while eating breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night. Whether he went to bed at 10 p.m. or 2.30 a.m. made no difference. Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket. Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.
Nearly all ‘speed reading’ courses have a ‘pacing’ element – some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book. You should soon notice your habitual wpm rate creeping up.
