TEXT
Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt.
8. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. 他醒来时，仍然躺在床垫上。
9. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. 年轻人看了一眼周围的碎木片和碎金属片，伤心地捡起了 床垫，把它拿进了屋。 Lay这里是lie的过去式。再次来复习lie和lay的区别： ①lie作“躺，卧、处于（位置）”解 时，过去式为：lay, 过去分词为：lain； ②lie作“撒谎”解时，过去式为：lied,过去分词为：lied； ③lay可作“放，摆，搁；产卵”解，其过去式和过去分 词均为：laid。
