86 Out ofcontrol 失控As the mantried to swing the speedboat round, the steering wheel came away in hishands. Hewaved desperately to his companion, who had been water skiing for the lastfifteenminutes. Both men had hardly had time to realize what was happening when theywerethrown violently into the sea. The speedboat had struck a buoy, but it continuedtomove veryquickly across the water. Both men had just begun to swim towards the shore,when theynoticed with dismay that the speedboat was moving in a circle. It now came straighttowards them at tremendous speed. In less than a minute, it roared past themonly a fewfeet away. After it had passed, they swam on as quickly as they could becausethey knewthat the boat would soon return. They had just had enough time to swim out ofdangerwhen the boat again completed a circle. On this occasion, however, it hadsloweddownconsiderably. The petrol had nearly all been used up. Before long, the noisedroppedcompletelyand the boat began to drift gently across the water.87 A perfect alibi 极好的不在犯罪现场的证据'At thetime the murder was committed, I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train toLondon,' said the man.'Do youalways catch such an early train?' asked the inspector.'Of courseI do,' answered the man. 'I must be at work at 10 o'clock. My employer willconfirmthat I was there on time.''Would alater train get you to work on time?' asked the inspector.'I supposeit would, but I never catch a later train.''At whattime did you arrive at the station?''At ten toeight. I bought a paper and waited for the train.''And youdidn't notice anything unusual?''Of coursenot.''Isuggest,' said the inspector, 'that you are not telling the truth. I suggestthat youdid notcatch the 8 o'clock train, but that you caught the 8.25 which would still getyou towork ontime. You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 o'clock train did not run atall.It brokedown at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.'88 Trappedin a mine 困在矿井里Six menhave been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought tothesurface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are provingdifficult.Ifexplosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse.Rescueworkersare therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend tobring the men up ina special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil,they wouldhave completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling forsixteenhours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which wasloweredinto the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with theirclosestrelatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men arecheerfulandconfidentthat they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations areprogressingsmoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock,theywould loseheart.89 A slip of the tongue 口误Peoplewill do anything to see a free show -- even if it is a bad one. When the newsgotround thata comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. BirdSeedCompany, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and theremusthave beenseveral hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, theshow wasone of the dullest we have ever seen.

Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!"90 What'sfor supper?晚餐吃什么？Fish andchips has always been a favourite dish in Britain, but as the oceans havebeenoverfished,fish has become more and more expensive. So it com, es as a surprise to learnthat giantfish are terrifying the divers on North Seaoil rigs. Oil rigs have to be repairedfrequentlyand divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water,have beenfrightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work. Nowthey havehad special cages made to protect them from these monsters. The fish are notsharks orkiller whales, but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow tounnaturalsizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length. Three factors have causedthese fishto grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; theplentifulsupply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence offishingboats around the oil rigs. As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow andgrowin thelovely warm water. Who eats who?91 Threemen in a basket 三人同篮A pilotnoticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Stationnearby. Heinformed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery.Theofficer in the control tower was very angry when he heard the news, becauseballoonscan be agreat danger to aircraft. He said that someone might be spying on the stationandthe pilotwas ordered to keep track of the strange object. The pilot managed tocircletheballoonfor some time. He could make out three men in a basket under it and one of themwasholding a pair of binoculars. When the balloon was over the station, the pilotsaw oneof the mentaking photographs. Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and itlandednear an airfield. The police were called in, but they could not arrest anyone,for thebasketcontained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station!As theCommanding Officer explained , later, one half of the station did not know whatthe other halfwas doing!92 Askingfor trouble 自找麻烦It musthave been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake upmy wife byringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shedinthegarden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.I wasalmostthere when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows needcleaning atthis timeof the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw apoliceman.Iimmediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaningwindows atnight.''So do I,'answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you. Ihate tointerrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me tothestation?''Well, I'dprefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see. I've forgotten my key.''Yourwhat?' he called.'My key,'I shouted.Fortunately,the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as thepolicemanhad started to climb towards me.93 A noble gift 崇高的礼物One of themost famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenthcentury by the people of France.The greatstatue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years tocomplete.The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework whichhad beenespecially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the UnitedStates, asite had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen wasanisland atthe entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, astatue which was 151 feet tall hadbeenerected in Paris.The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By theend ofOctober 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officiallypresentedto theAmerican people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been asymbol ofliberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbourtomake theirhomes in America.94 Futurechampions 未来的冠军Experimentshave proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very earlyage. At aspecial swimming pool in Los Angeles,children become expert at holding theirbreathunder water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appeartobereluctant to enter the water. It is not long before they are so accustomed toswimmingthat theycan pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popularwiththeseyoung swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on thefloor ofthe poolseven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach theother endof the pool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push ordragthem. Somechildren can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breatheven once.Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will , tell.Meanwhile,they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards beforethey aregasping for air.95 A fantasy 纯属虚构When theAmbassador or Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock. He lookedpale and his clothes were in a frightful state.'What hashappened?' she asked. 'How did your clothes get into such a mess?''A fireextinguisher, my dear,' answered the Ambassador drily. 'University studentsset theEmbassy on fire this morning.''Goodheavens!' exclaimed his wife. 'And where were you at the time?''I was inmy office as usual,' answered the Ambassador. 'The fire broke out in thebasement.I went down immediately, of course, and that fool, Horst, aimed a fireextinguisherat me. He thought I was on fire. I must definitely get that fellow posted.'TheAmbassador's wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a bighole inher husband's hat.'And howcan you explain that?' she asked.'Oh,that,' said the Ambassador. 'Someone fired a shot through my office window.Accurate,don't you think? Fortunately, I wasn't wearing it at the time. If I had been, Iwould nothave been able to get home for lunch.'96 Thedead return 亡灵返乡,A Festivalfor the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerfuloccasion,for onthis day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed bytheliving. Asthey are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out forthem.Specially-madelanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way. Allnightlong, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laidout forthe deadis thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyonelivingto eat it.In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in thestreetsthe night before, are placed into the water when the festival is over.Thousands oflanternsslowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the otherworld.This is amoving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanternsdriftingaway until they can be seen no more.。
