全新版大学英语快速阅读第二册课文

Unit 1How to StudyThere is a lot of misunderstanding about studying. Most students have not been taught the principles behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number of hours he works in a day. If he doesn't do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour 's work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours' work he learns about twice as much (point 2). If he does more work he'll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three and a half hours' work in one day, he'll be so tired that he'll hardly remember anything: what he learns will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he 'd learn more (point 5).Now whatever the exact shape of the graph 's curve, made by joining these points, it must have a high point. Point "X" is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the optimum, the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time at the books and fatigue. Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can't escape it or ignore it. If you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum, you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best—and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.The skill in being a student consists of getting one 's daily study as near the optimum point as possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own. Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued, if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that's a pretty good sign you 've reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find their optimum at about five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less—but if you get in five hours' good work a day, you will be doing well.Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren't working? Before examinations some students do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one 's physical energy in order to cut the maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn't chopping. But the mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning. It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.When you 've finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in the chair thinking about the work—that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn't matter what—anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.有一个关于学习有许多误解。

大学英语创意阅读第二册课文译文翻译

Unit7 学语言的快乐一天里随便哪个时刻,来自全球几乎所有国家的很多人正在学习某一种新的语言。

学习的原因也许各不相司。

有的纯属兴趣,有的是为出国准备,而有的是找工作需要。

还有的纯粹由于语言是中小学、大学必修课。

不论出于何种原因,所有学语言的人都会感受到掌握一门语言的酸甜苦辣——而这总会让初学者不时处境尴尬。

就在上周我乘出租车去拜访一位朋友,决定试一下我近来学的几句广东话。

我凑上前去,拍了下司机的肩膀,告诉他去“四号公寓大厦”,我同事的住处。

司机的脸一下子白了,刹住车,大惊失色。

后来我才知道自己把“四号公寓大厦”的声调搞混了,说成司机已经死了。

学一门新的语言不只是多背单词和语法规则那么简单。

一个字,一个表达法的意义主要看它使用的语境。

同一个字用在此处恰如其分,在彼处可能牛头不对马嘴。

这可能就是用错了,还可能十分无礼。

更复杂的是,语言是个活的体系,老在发展变化。

字的意义变得极快,变得大多数人辨不出它们的字面意思。

英语的词汇丰富多样,习用语层出不穷,发音规则复杂,对初学者难度尤大。

母语不是英语的人完全可能因说话的语调错了显得态度粗野,得罪别人。

我们讲话的方式往往流露出我们的心境、个性、对听话人的态度以及我们说话时的心思。

说话人很容易就向听者发出错误信号,无意中造成尴尬局面。

一位西班牙人最近来我家吃饭,我妻子忙了一天备了一顿美餐。

吃完饭客人说饭菜“挺不错”。

我妻子一听这话就不愉快,认为客人很没礼貌。

而"quite"这个字有“非常”和“有点”的意思。

客人是说这顿饭菜非常不错,我妻子却理解成还可以!还有个问题是,不同国家的人对事物或人的名称的态度不同。

有人认为名称极为重要,而其他人却认为名称不过用来指人代物,方便准确。

其实,三百多年前英国著名作家威廉·莎士比亚就曾说过,“玫瑰换名照样芳香。

”像“foreigner"这个字看似没有什么不好的意思,可用在特定的场合会侮辱别人,伤害别人感情。

Chapter 1教育:社会的反思(杜亚-译)探访学校,在世界任何地方,你可能会注意到若干相似之处。

学生,教师,课本,黑板和考试无处不在。

然而,在任何其他国家相比一个国家的学校制度是不同于别的的系统。

它不能完全一样的,因为每个文化是不同的。

教育系统是一面镜子,反映文化。

看看学校系统,你将看到的社会结构及其文化价值。

墨西哥在墨西哥,教育系统反映了国家的许多方面。

相信国家能够通过教育实现人人平等的权利。

墨西哥的教育系统的基础是国家的宪法,并于1917年写的。

它要求教育是免费的,强制性的,具有普遍性。

它还指出,教育应支持民族团结,导致社会,经济和文化的人民改善。

在较低的水平,这意味着有该国丰富的文化历史的重视。

孩子写历史论文,参加各种活动,为国家节日,阅读有关国家英雄 - 特别是土著人。

然而,我们很难提供在农村地区,那里的土著人民仍然生活教育。

在这些地区的人民是贫穷和孤立的地理位置。

没有足够的学校,农村教师必须能够教小学所有6个等级。

此外,在一些土著人民的传统通常不包括上学。

日本日本高度重视教育。

一项统计数字反映了这一点:日本教育等放在重要的是,百分之88的学生不仅完成小学,而且高中。

公立学校都是免费和平等的,所有学生被认为是平等的,学习相同的材料。

对于社会的原因,很重要的一个学生获得大学学位,并从“大学学位的权利。

”为了实现这一目标,学生必须通过“考试地狱。

”有入学的所有大学困难的考试,到更好的小学和中学很多,甚至一些幼儿园!日本学生需要伟大的纪律,以使他们在学习的时间,他们需要自我控制放弃嗜好,体育和社会生活。

这些考试的结果会影响整个家庭,因为有很高的地位,社会地位或为整个家庭,当孩子考试分数高。

英国在联合王国(英国),教育系统反映了复合系统。

所有公立学校,小学,中学和大学,都是免费的,首先是平等的9年,所有学生学习相同的材料。

11岁时,学生参加考试的一个重要的国家。

在此之后,他们参加一个中学三种可能:学院的筹备,职业(就业培训),或全面(与两组的学生)。

According to the first three paragraphs: A major purpose of advertising is to inform us of new products or good bargains / help producers to sell their products. It is possible that advertising is becoming less effective because we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it. 2. According to the advertisement for Bantu Island: The more adventurous members of the family can visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern/ study the fascinating sea creatures of' that area. The less adventurous members can use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course or visit tile less adventurous places of interest ( in an airconditioned vehicle) such as a local lake. Ghosts are often seen around Lake Tall. Wood has been used to make the accommodation "units"The holiday is cheap because the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money. 3. According to the newspaper report onBantu Island: Bantu Island is really only a small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean. Swimming around the island would be very dangerous because of the many sharks. The swimming pool isn't very much in use because there is no water in it. The author doesn't believe the stories about Lake Tall because it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true. The author says the only reason your money "goes further" is that Bantu Island is a long way away go the money will be travelling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaninq of money lasting lounger as things are so cheap. 4. The advice the author gives in the last two paragraphs is to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information from an independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part B: Comparing the texts The Brochure 1 2 3 4 5 6 resort a shallow bay/ island paradise fascinating sea creatures deluxe air-conditioned transport individual, handcrafted units ancient and mysterious lake The Newspaper Article building site beachless bay/ hare rock hungry sharks open-backed jeep wooden huts dirty pondPart C:Interpreting the text1. Explain why the writer believes these two texts provide a "perfect example" of what he is trying to say. The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases, "legalized lying". The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously verymisleading—and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth. 2. Why were the visitors to Bantu Island made to pay for the "tours" beforethey got to the resort? Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not waist to go on any tours. 3. Did the first article give any information that was not true, as opposed to simply misleading? No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies —simply did not tell the whole truth or ,misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) -- it does not actually say that they don't have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say they are sharks, etc. 4. Explain fully what the writer means by the last sentence of the article. We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problem that is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, "special offers" on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsGetting the writer's purpose Which of the following do you think could be used to describe the tone of the newspaper article? humourous, aggressive, sarcastic Look at the two texts again and make notes in the table below of other examples of each category. Brochure A Layout Once in a Lifeti, me Newspaper Holiday A "Never- To-Be-Repeated" Holiday(This .means something very special -- so (This .means it only happens once special it cannot because it was so bad you would neverever be repeated. )do it again. ) A "Holiday" for NobodyA Holiday .for All the Family sea creatures brand-new cooled Choice of Information rare It omits any details of the size, etc. of the attractions (e.g. Lake Tall). No mention of having to wash in a small stream ( i. e. no plumbing or washing facilities in thehotel). ... you won't have a penny more to pay! -- A "Holiday" .for Nobody -- the inverted commas indicate that the writer .feels sharks half-built blasted They don't exist.The exclamation mark is supposed to showthe reader what a wonderful deal she / he is the word "Holiday" is not the correct getting with the holiday. word. The "Beauties of Bantu Island" --again the inverted commas suggest that Punctuation "Beauties" does not describe the reality of the Island. "Air-conditioned", "back-to-nature ", "resort", "lake", etc. all these show that the writer does not .feel the words are being used with their usual meaning and connotations. The two articles that follow are from the advertising manager of the restaurant and from a dissatisfied customer. Complete them by filling in the blanks with words or expressions that make the writers' attitudes clear.Come and Eat at the Luxurious and Relaxing "French Kitchen" Enjoy the wonderful selection of tempting dishes from our extensive menu. The magnificent view over the ocean will make it an evening to remember / cherish. Our highly-trained / professional / friendly and experienced / knowledgeable / polite staff will be delighted/pleased / thrilled to look after your every need and the reasonable / inexpensive prices will pleasantly surprise you. Don't delay / wait. Book now! You won't be disappointed / sorry. Anybody who is thinking of going to the new" restaurant" called the "French Kitchen", don't think again. I was tempted by the advertisement in this newspaper last week. Unfortunately/Regrettably, I can honestly/truthfully/realty say that I was very displeased by my decision.

大学英语创意阅读第2册第2单元答案

大学英语创意阅读第2册第2单元答案Unit 2 Schooldays: An Effective Education SystemUnderstanding the textPart A: Comprehending the textPart B: Interpreting the text1. Why, in paragraph 2 of the debate speech, does the speaker describe failing an examination as being like a "death sentence"?These exams "decide their .futures" and the penalties .for .failure are ".final". Also look at speech paragraph 6 -- the "threat of being a .failure .for life" is perhaps even worse than a death sentence.2. Why does the speaker mention the labour market in paragraph 4 of the speech? The labour market does not urgently need "newly qualified people ". There is no "hurry"; the situation is not critical.3. Why does the speaker introduce such exact figures in paragraph 7 of the speech? To compare the large number of lessons ("17,745") with the tiny result ("how little I knew at the end ... ")and also to say that "40-minute pieces of learning" and"little pieces of 9eography or history or biology" do not really add up to any substantial body of knowledge. Perhaps, too, the writer wants to show that mere statistics ("17,745 lessons") do not really prove that the results are good.4. What does the word "subjected" in paragraph 7 of the speech tell us about the speaker's attitude towards his own education?The word suggests an unpleasant experience. The writer was, when a child, the subject -- and the education system was the "boss". The results o.1~ the child's subjection were not good. Also look at speech paragraph 8 again: the system "can never be called e. efficient"; it simply helps the administrators and the bureaucrats.Developing your skillsPart A: Using reference markersCircle the letter of your choice.1. c)In the text, "schooldays" is related to "remember" -- "schooldays" is the object of "remember"; "them" is also the object -- of the second verb "remember". The pronoun "them" means exactly the same, in this sentence, as the noun "schooldays"2. b)Here, "it" is connected -- or linked -- to "this question" by the word "as". And "as it exists in Britain" specifies that the discussion is limited to present-day Britain.3. c)This is more difficult: those refers, here, to the "school children" mentioned in the previous sentence! So the link -- or the connection -- is more distant. All the words in this phrase giveclues to the link: "but", for example, is very important here because it indicates a limitation on what is being discussed. (The teacher might wish to point out that there are many small words which are very important in English --and "but" is one of these.A useful class exercise can be given in which each student-- or perhaps pair of students -- creates an original sentence in which "but" is an essential part. Y ou can emphasise that, although the word is "simple", it is often very important indeed in communication. )4. a)Here we need to go back to the subject of this long sentence -- namely " parents" !Find and circle five more examples of reference markers in the text. For e ach marker, draw an arrow to the part of the text it refers to. Compare your examples with those of a partner.·"But" (speech paragraph 4, line 26) does two jobs. It refers back to the whole subject of exams and pressures; it also signals that there is going to be a change of direction in the whole discussion.·"It" (speech paragraph 4, line 32) refers back to the "problem" if children "suddenly stop reading" -- and the paragraph goes on to say that this is not really a probl em. ·"So" (speech paragraph 4, line 36) is another small but very important linking word. Often -- as here -- it is used to "wrap up", or conclude, an argument.·"If" (speech paragraph 5, line 38) introduces a hypothetical situation. It raises the idea of imagining big changes and new conditions. Again, it's a small word 'with many uses.·In speech paragraph 8, ".for example" is perhaps a more simple instance of linking: here the inefficiency of the "presentsystem" is shown clearly by the example -- i. e. it "takes up to 11 years" to produce even basic results.Part B: Using discourse markers1. I've been really busy this week with five assignments to complete. However/Yet last week was easy as I only had one to do.Function: showing contrast2. Although there are some minor disadvantages, on the whole / in general / generally s peaking / overall, I prefer studying at university to secondary school.Function: generalizing3. Nobody is allowed in here except / except for / with the exception of the principal and the most senior members of staff.Function: introducing exceptions4. Y our progress seems to have been variable. Some assignments are OK, but as for / as regards your last written assignment ... it was a complete disaster!Function: focusing attention5. I've finished all my assignments so / and so / so now I can go to the cinema this evening and relax.Function: showing logical sequenceExtending your vocabularyPart A: W ords to note1. His carefree attitude sometimes makes people think he doesn't take his studies seriously enough.2. I really find the fact that so many students have copied this assignment totally intolerable. This is cheating!3. He seemed very receptive to my suggestion that he should focus more on his basic language skills.4. As this is a compulsory course, it is not possible for you to drop it.5. The consequences of cheating in an examination are usually very severe. In any case, anyone who cheats will fail.6. Clearly, the more motivated a student is to learn a language, the more successful he or she will be.7. I am appalled at the very high failure rate of the course! Everyone should pass.8. The student was frantically trying to remember where he put his textbook. He needed it immediately to complete his assignment.Part B: Expressions。

Unit1终身难忘的假期旅游不管我们身在何处,无论我们在做什么,我们身边都包绕着广告。

有些广告是有用的--------能告诉我们当前新产品的信息,哪儿物美价廉。

制造商利用广告来推销产品,不然生意将会做不成。

其实,曾经有人说过:“商人们赚到大笔大笔的钞票得益于广告的功劳。

”然而,现在的广告是否太泛滥了?可以说广告的效应已经事与愿违,因为大量的广告是误导人的。

我们大多对广告视而不见。

或许大作家H.G.Wells更确切地道出了其中的真谛:“广告是合法化了的谎言。

”请让我举一个我认为是绝好的亲身经历的例子,我当时想找一个好的地方带我的家人去度假。

我查找旅游指南,并自认为找到了一个十全十美的假日。

广告打的招牌是“终生难忘之旅”。

不要再犹豫!马上订票。

“终身难忘之旅”,莫失良机。

我太激动了,跑回家告知家人。

家人都说这是我们度假的理想之地。

然而就在订机票前一天,我在地方小报上读到—篇小文章,写的就是这个地方。

写文章的记者去参加了假日之旅,发现旅游指南虽未撒谎,其描述却大为失真。

“不堪回首”的假日——海滨流浪汉的栖身之地一个岛屿不错,这是个岛屿,但天堂在哪儿?这个修建一半的“旅游胜地”位于印度洋中部的一块荒礁石上,坐落在海湾边上,并无海滩,整日被刺骨的寒风袭击,使你感到台风倒成了清爽的微风。

即便你是游泳高手,离家前一定要投高额保险。

你得从大约十五米高的悬崖上跳下去,下面似乎是饥饿的鲨鱼群觅食的好地方。

无人敢问津的“假日”一点不假,此地确有个游泳池(里面确实配有滑梯、跳板),而且真的配有嬉水池。

不幸的是没有水。

该岛似乎常年干旱,连刮胡子的水都没有,更不用说给游泳池蓄水。

至于别的“娱乐方式”。

有块小草坪,有几个坑,插有旗子作标示。

或许大洋中的这块巨礁是够“天然的”。

“班图岛的美景”哪有什么美景!甭提什么旅游。

“空调”交通工具是—辆敞篷吉普车;塔利湖是个脏水池,连青蛙都淹不死。

动物“稀有”得一只都见不到;你要参观水下洞穴的话还必须是位经验丰富的戴水肺的潜水员(更别提随时出没的鲨鱼群了),这真是让人“难以置信”。

好一个宾至如归你如是本地人,生活在博尼欧荒野地带,指南的描述是无可指责的!还绝对真实。

这儿根本就没有一流旅馆,你也甭指望有一流的居住条件。

“套间”是木制的小房子。

有条小河流(偶尔)流过旅游胜地,游客不得不去小河洗漱,这就是营造的所谓“回归自然”的氛围。

让你多花钱的假日游好啦,我想班图岛路途不近吧。

越远越好。

一言以蔽之,有谁还在考虑这“终生难忘的恶梦”,我建议他马上去报名参加“生存训练课程”班培训。

或许你还没注意到,指南没提到食品。

原因很简单——压根就没有。

看来…班图岛显然不是我们理想的度假场地。

幸好我看到了这篇报道,否则。

我准带我的家人去了,不仅没有一丁点儿乐趣,还非常危险。

教训是深刻的:仔细阅读所有广告.从中获取尽可能多的信息。

事情往往不想看起来的那么回事!Unit2有效的教育制度人无论活多大,总忘不了学生时代——可在多少人的记忆中它是快乐的、无忧无虑的呢?社会对年轻人期待过高,一旦没达到我们的期望值,我们就总爱把他们贴上“失败者”的标签。

可是,谁该受到责备呢?孩子们无可责备,该责备的是社会,这可能吗?英国同样存在这样的问题,下面是就这一问题的辩论纪录。

演讲者的话有多少适合你受教育的经历,在多少程度上你赞同他的观点?“主席先生,女士们,先生们:毫无疑问,一个富有爱心、有责任感的社会的最大愿望就是做些重要的、有意义的事情,去改善年轻人的生活。

达到此目的的最明显不过的办法就是把孩子们从无法接受的考试和筛选的压力中解放出来。

十三四岁的年幼孩子就被筛选?被迫参加考试,自己的前途就这样基本上被决定了。

对大部分孩子来说,这个年龄段是最不适合接受正规教育的年龄,可他们却被迫参加考试,失败了得接受无法挽回的惩罚,如同被判死刑一样。

中学孩子们的生活被考试所主宰了。

一些学校确实提供不少有趣的课程,可只是针对那些失败者的。

于是父母们继续催促、劝诱、威胁、强孩子们继续考试,或者拼命去找这类擅长逼孩子们考试的“好”学校,因为我们的高等学府需要这个。

可是,有这必要吗?为何如此心急?劳务市场并没有巴望着要用刚培养出来的年轻人。

为什么要给他们施加这无法忍受的压力?他们要的是什么?十三至十六岁的年龄段是大多数孩子们最厌学的阶段。

长大成人这件事就足以他们应付的了,他们需要时间和空间。

有的孩子学习积极性极高,遍览群书,可到了这个年龄阶段,往往突然不读书了。

这并不意味着他们从此放弃读书,顺利的话,他们过了十六七岁就能走出这个阶段。

但是对于观有的考试筛选制度来说,这个年龄已经太晚了。

孩子十四岁时没走上正道,一生就给毁了。

有的孩子,你要由他去,可以在床上磨蹭半天,穿衣又是半天,父母拿他们真是没辙,但过了这段时间就没事了。

可我们为什么要选择这个年龄段,要么毁了他们,要么让他们成才?如果我们去掉十六岁时筛选的压力,高中教育就会大变样。

大约从十三岁起,孩子们就有选择学与不学的自由,或者选择部分时间学习。

他们想学什么课程、学多久.由他们自己定。

或者他们有权选择什么也不做;学校会提供他们闲坐的地方。

他们要是想去艺术室待上半天或排练戏剧什么的,随他们去好了。

在英国,这类学校办了几十年,可在现有制度下,要鼓励孩子们发展自己的兴趣,不一心一意读书本,孩子们得到的惩罚将十分严重。

原始的教育制度是把知识强行灌进孩子们的脑子,它似乎已被另一种制度所取代:拿一辈子做个失败者去威胁孩子。

这制度同样不为富有爱心的社会所接受。

想起自己五岁至十八岁就上17745节课,按道理这个年龄段是脑子接受力最强的时候,可学完之后脑子一片茫然,这是多大的时间、金钱和人力浪费!我简直不敢相信。

学校的课时,每节课为四十分钟,这种课程设计不鼓励孩子集中注意力认真读书。

学生在学校就如同流水线上的轿车,一会儿给你装点地理,一会儿给你安点历史或生物知识。

大多数孩子在这种条件下没法集中精力学习。

让比自己懂得多的人,或者说至少是以为比自己懂得多的人来教自己已足以让学习劲头打的学生产生叛逆感。

这种制度存在的唯一理由是让行政管理方便,让校方的官僚作风滋生,而绝不是高效率管理。

比方说,要求十六岁的孩子参加的初级英文考试为什么需要用十一年去教?老师真心教,孩子真心学,一年左右的时间就够了。

有谁听孩子们的意见;当他们真有机会谈谈对教育的看法,也常常只写老师爱看的内容,因为他们担心自己的观点与老师不合,会得个下及格。

但是这一切在慢慢地改变。

英国成立了全国学生会来帮助学生向校方表达他们的真实意见。

学生会说受教育不应是强迫的,学生应不去听乏味的课,应让做其他工作的人轮流上讲台授课。

如果能找到工作,学生可以到社会上去打工。

也应鼓励成年人来学校学习,让学校和社区相互增进了解。

他们说在这种宽松的制度下孩子们通常会更学有所得,与成人和校方采取更合作的态度。

学生们讲他们会学到更多的东西,我不知道这种想法是否正确。

但我肯定他们一定会更快乐。

我倒非常怀疑他们会学得更少,我们不该对十三四的孩子唠叨个没完,说他们不没日没夜地学习,一辈子就完了。

女士们,先生们,我坚信你们将不得不同意我今天的提议。

今天的制度对我们的孩子有害,我们必须改变它。

Unit3蛇皮袋年轻人身着警服,英俊潇洒,目光掠过小小的咖啡桌,望着他的父母。

屋外狂风劲吹,片片雪花击打窗户。

客厅里的炭火通红,温暖舒适。

年轻人的祖父退役后一直独居在这屋里。

老人的妻子遭遇不测,死于买房当日。

咖啡桌上放着个金属盒,他们在整理祖父旧衣物时在他衣柜最里面找到的。

盒里有个小口袋,像是用蛇皮做的,里面有些古怪的骨头。

斯莱德先生,年轻人的父亲,在读一封藏在盒里的信。

亲爱的亚瑟:你如在读这封信,我便知道自己已从这诅咒中解脱出来了,它毁了我的生活,而今我已不在人世了。

我还知道你已找到蛇皮口袋和袋里那些可怕的东西。

求你听我将对你说的话,切勿重复我的过失。

这是个魔袋!我退役前在印度服役,袋子是我从一位很老的圣人那儿拿来的。

他快要死了,临死前对我说袋子能满足我的一切愿望——但生活就是这样,你得为你到手的东西付出代价。

他还叫我万不可毁了袋子,否则全家将有灭顶之灾。

我用过一次袋子,他的话灵验了——我买下了这幢房子,却以我爱妻的生命作代价。

袋子会给你带来你需要的一切——但代价太高。

儿子,你得答应我把它藏起来,决不能用它——一次也不行!千万不能像我经不住诱惑!“我一直以为祖父年岁大了,脑子不好使了,原来他一直为祖母的死伤心。

好像祖母的死他难辞其咎。

”年轻人对他的父母说。

“反正,这袋子的样子挺怪的,是不是?”“我不喜欢这个袋子,”他妈妈一边说着一边伸出手把盒子的盖子盖上了。

“我认为你应该照他说的做,把它藏起来,然后忘掉这件事。

”“也许你是对的……,”斯莱德先生自言自语地应了一声,拿起金属盒夹在腋下。

“明天再说吧,该回家了。

天晚了,托马斯,你还要上班。

记住啊,你该当夜班!”亚瑟·斯莱德夜不能寐。

最近几个月他生意清淡,家里开销入不敷出。

他老在想楼下餐桌上的金属盒。

信上说袋子能满足他的所有愿望。

莫非那些话是老人丧妻后,神志恍惚说的些糊涂话——或许他可以还清房款,再也不必为钱发愁。

他悄悄溜下床,拾梯而下,摸向厨房。

有股无形的力量在牵引他。
