新概念英语第三册Lesson1A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。

The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.''You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad t he bell is working again.''That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.''We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not as good as one, but i t's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'Lesson 3 An unknown goddess 无名女神一、【Text】课文Some time ago，an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea．An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini．The city at one time must have been prosperous，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization．Houses--often three storeys high----were built of stone．They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls．The city was even equipped with a drainage system，for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets．The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C.This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far,the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.Lesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs阿尔弗雷德。

Lesson15 Fifty pence worth of trouble
Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Father, of course, provides a
regular supply of pocket-money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra
income. With some children, small sums go a long way. If sixpences are not
exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money-boxes. Only very thrifty
children manage to fill up a money-box. For most of them, sixpence is a small price to
pay for a satisfying bar of chocolate.
My nephew, George, has a money-box but it is always empty. Very few of the
sixpences I have given him have found their way there. I gave him sixpence yesterday
and advised him to save it. Instead, he bought himself sixpence worth of trouble. On
his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his sixpence and it rolled along the pavement
and then disappeared down a drain. George took off
his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and pushed his right arm through the drain cover.
He could not find his sixpence anywhere, and what is more, he could not get his arm
out. A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and
butter, but George was firmly stuck. The fire-brigade was called and two firemen
freed George using a special type of grease. George was not too upset by his
experience because the lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his troubles and
rewarded him with a large box of chocolates.
appreciate [ә'pri:ʃieit] v.欣赏，感激
pocket ['pɔkit] 零用钱
rattle ['rætl] v.格格作响
thrifty ['θrifti] a.节俭的
nephew ['nevju:] n.侄子，外甥
bounce [bauns] v.弹起，跳起
pavement ['peivmәnt] n.人行道
stick [stik] v.卡住，夹住，不能再动
brigade [bri'geid] n.旅，(消防)队
grease [gri:s, gri:z] n.润滑油
孩子们总是喜欢得到一些零花钱。爸爸妈妈当然经常给孩子零花钱，但是，
叔舅婶姨也是孩子们额外收入来源。对于有些孩子来说，少量的钱可以花很长一
段时间。如果50便士不拿来换糖吃，则可以放在储蓄罐里叮当响上好几月。但
是能把储蓄罐装满的只有屈指可数的几个特别节俭的孩子。对大部分孩子来说，
用50便士来买一大块好的巧克力，是算不了什么的。
我的外甥乔治有一个储蓄罐，但总是空空的。我给了不少50便士的硬币，
但没有几个存到储蓄罐里。昨天，我给了他50便士让存起来，却拿这钱给自己
买了50便士的麻烦。在他去糖果店的路上，50便士掉在地上，在人行道上跳了
几下，掉进了阴沟里。乔治脱掉外套，卷起袖子，将右胳膊伸进了阴沟盖。但他
摸了半天也没找到那50便士硬币，他的胳膊反倒退不出来了。这时在他周围上
了许多人，一位女士在乔治胳膊上抹了肥皂，黄油，但乔治的胳膊仍然卡得紧紧
的。有人打电话叫来消防队，两位消防队员使用了一种特殊的润滑剂才使乔治得
以解脱。不过，此事并没使乔治过于伤心，因为糖果店老板娘听说了他遇到的麻
烦后，赏给他一大盒巧克力。
