Parson’s Pleasure

1 Cyril Boggis was a dealer in antique furniture. When he visited the old country homes to look for the hidden treasures, he always disguised himself as a parson and told

the homeowners he was collecting old furniture for charity work. The scheme worked well. In fact, it became a very profitable business.

2 One Sunday morning, Boggis parked some distance from the gate of a farmhouse. He never liked his car to be seen until a deal was made. A dear old clergyman and a large station-wagon never seemed quite right together.

3 Three men were chatting in the yard. When they caught sight of the small bellied man in his black suit and parson’s collar, they stopped talking and watched him suspiciously. The farm owner was a stumpy man with small shifty eyes, whose name was Rummins. The tall youth beside him was his son Bert. The short man with broad shoulders was Claud, a neighbour.

4 “And what exactly might you be wanting?” Rummins asked.

5 Boggis explained the aim of his visit, which was to collect pieces for the Society for the Preservation of Rare Furniture.

6 “We don’t have any. You’re wasting your time,” said Rummins.

7 “Now just a minute, sir,” Boggis said, raising a finger. “The last man who sa id that to me was an old farmer down in Sussex, and when he finally let me into his house, do you know what I found? A dirty-looking old chair in the kitchen that turned out to be worth four hundred pounds! I showed him how to sell it, and he bought himsel f a new tractor with the money.”

8 “Well,” Rummins said, “there’s no harm in you taking a look.” He led the way into an old, dirty living-room.

9 And there it was! Boggis saw it at once and gasped. He stood staring for ten seconds at least, not daring to believe what he saw before him. It couldn’t be true!

10 At that point, Boggis found the three men watching him intently. They had seen him gasp and stare. Boggis quickly staggered to the nearest chair and collapsed into it.

11 “What’s the matter?” Claud asked.

12 “It’s nothing,” he gasped. “I’ll be all right in a minute.”

13 “I thought maybe you were looking at something,” Rummins said.

14 “No, no,” Boggis said. “It’s just my heart. It happens every now and then. I’ll be all right.”

15 He must have time to think, he told himself. Take it gently, Boggis. Keep calm. These people may be ignorant but they are not stupid.

16 To a layman, what he had seen might not have appeared particularly impressive. But it was a dealer’s dream. Boggis knew it was one of the most valuable three pieces known as “The Chippendale Commodes”.

17 A few minutes later, Boggis began to move around the room examining the other furniture, one piece at a time. Apart from the commode he found nothing else.

18 “Nice oak table,” he said. “Not old enough. This chest of drawers”—Boggis walked casually past the commode—“worth a few pounds. A crude reproduction, I’m afraid.”

19 “That’s a strong bit of furniture,” Rummins said. “Some nice carving on it too.”

20 “Machine-carved,” Boggis replied frowning as though in deep thought. “You know what?” he said, looking back at the commode. “I’ve wanted a set of legs something like that for a long time. I’ve got a table in my own home, and when I moved house, the movers damaged the legs. I’m very fond of that table.”

21 He paused, stroking his chin. “These legs on your chest of drawers coul d be cut off and fixed on to my table.”

22 “What you mean to say is you’d like to buy it?” Rummins said.

23 “Well... it might be a bit too much trouble. It’s not worth it.”

24 “How much were you thinking of offering?” Rummins asked.

25 “Not much, I’m afraid. You see, this is not a genuine antique.”

26 “I’m not so sure,” Rummins said.

27 “It’s exactly what I thought, a Victorian reproduction.”

28 “How much would you give?” Rummins asked.

29 Bogg is looked at the commode, frowned, and shrugged his shoulders. “I think ten pounds would be fair.”

30 “Ten pounds!” Rummins cried.

31 “Make it fifty,” Rummins said.

32 “My dear man,” Boggis said softly, “I only want the legs. The re st of it is firewood, that’s all.”

33 “Make it thirty-five,” Rummins said.

34 “I couldn’t, sir, I couldn’t! I’ll make you one final offer. Twenty pounds.”

35 “I’ll take it,” Rummins snapped.

36 “Oh, dear,” Boggis said. “I shouldn’t have started this.”

37 “You can’t back out now, Parson. A deal’s a deal.”

38 “Yes, yes, I know. Perhaps if I got my car, you gentlemen would be kind enough to help me load it?”

39 Boggis found it difficult not to break into a run. But clergymen never run; they walk slowly. Walk slowly, Boggis. Keep calm, Boggis, there’s no hurry now. The commode is yours.

40 Back in the farmhouse, Rummins said to the other two, “Fancy him giving me twenty pounds for a load of junk like this.”

41 “You did very nicely, Mr. Rummins,” Claud told him. “You think he’ll pay you?”

42 “We don’t put it in the car till he does.”

43 “And what if it won’t go in the car? The clergymen always have very small cars.” Claud asked. “He’ll just back out and drive off.”

44 Rummins paused to consider this for a moment.

45 “I’ve got an idea,” Claud went on. “He told us that it was only the legs he was wanting. So all we’ve got to do is cut them off, then it’ll be sure to go in the car. All we’re doing is saving him the trouble of cutting them off when he gets home.”

46 “A good idea,” Rummins said, looking at the commode. Within a couple of minutes, Claud and Bert had carried the commode outside and Claud went to work with the saw. When all the legs were cut, Rummins called out, “We’re just in time!”

47 “Here he comes!”

There are presently 500 million cars on earth, or one car for every ten people. Sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars, making it the world's biggest manufacturing industry. 汽车工业是20世纪最赚钱、最有影响力的产业之一。目前世界上有5亿辆车，或者说每10人就有1辆车。汽车工业的销售额达一万亿美元左右，从而成为世界上最大的制造业。 3 The car, and the roads it travels on, will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century. The key to tomorrow's "smart cars" will be sensors. "We'll see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act," predicts Bill Spreitzer, technical director of General Motors Corporation's ITS program, which is designing the smart car and road of the future. 汽车及其行驶的道路，将在21世纪发生重大变革。未来“智能汽车”的关键在于传感器。“我们会见到能看、能听、有知觉、具嗅觉、会说话并能采取行动的车辆与道路，”正在设计未来智能汽车和智能道路的通用汽车公司ITS项目的技术主任比尔?斯普雷扎预言道。 4 Approximately 40,000 people are killed each year in the United States in traffic accidents. The number of people that are killed or badly injured in car accidents is so vast that we don't even bother to mention them in the newspapers anymore. Fully half of these fatalities come from drunk drivers, and many others from carelessness. A smart car could eliminate most of these car accidents. It can sense if a driver is drunk

The Virtues of Growing Older （长大变老有好处） Our society worships youth. Advertisements convince us to buy Grecian Formula and Oil of Olay so we can hide the gray in our hair and smooth the lines on our face. Television shows feature attractive young stars with firm bodies, perfect complexions, and thick manes of hair. Middle-aged folks work out in gyms and jog down the street, trying to delay the effects of age. 我们所处的社会崇尚年轻。连篇累牍的广告劝我们买希腊配方的洗发水和玉兰油，这样的话，白发无处可寻，面部的皱纹也能被抚平。电视节目上尽是体魄强健，肤色无暇，头发浓密的年轻明星。而中年人则在体育馆里锻炼，在马路上慢跑，尽量不让岁月过早地留下痕迹。 Wouldn't any person over thirty gladly sign with the devil just to be young again? Isn't aging an experience to be dreaded? Perhaps it is unAmerican to say so, but I believe the answer is "No." Being young is often pleasant, but being older has distinct advantages. 不是所有三十出头的人都会为了重获青春而心甘情愿地与魔鬼订立合约吗？长大变老难道不可怕吗？说它不可怕可能不是美国人的回答，但我却认为长大变老不可怕。青春年少令人愉悦，但长大变老也有明显的好处。 When young, you are apt to be obsessed with your appearance. When my brother Dave and I were teens, we worked feverishly to perfect the bodies we had. Dave lifted weights, took megadoses of vitamins, and drank a half-dozen milk shakes a day in order to turn his wiry adolescent frame into some muscular ideal. And as a teenager, I dieted constantly. No matter what I weighed, though, I was never satisfied with the way I looked. My legs were too heavy, my shoulders too broad, my waist too big. When Dave and I were young, we begged and pleaded for the "right" clothes. If our parents didn't get them for us, we felt our world would fall apart. How could we go to school wearing loose-fitting blazers when everyone else would be wearing smartly tailored leather jackets? We could be considered freaks. I often wonder how my parents, and parents in general, manage to tolerate their children during the adolescent years. Now, however, Dave and I are beyond such adolescent agonies. My rounded figure seems fine, and don't deny myself a slice of pecan pie if I feel in the mood. Dave still works out, but he has actually become fond of his tall, lanky frame. The two of us enjoy wearing fashionable clothes, but we are no longer slaves to style. And women, I'm embarrassed to admit, even more than men, have always seemed to be at the mercy of fashion. Now my clothes ---- and my brother's ---- are attractive yet easy to wear. We no longer feel anxious about what others will think. As long as we feel good about how we look, we are happy.

Unit 2语法指导与练习 语法指导之一 询问时间及时间表达法 【教材原句】 1.——What time do you usually take a shower,Rick? ——I usually take a shower at six forty. 2.——What time does Rick eat breakfast? ——He eats breakfast at seven o’clock. 3. ——When do your friends exercise? ——They usually exercise on weekends. 以上例句，是由疑问词和引导的，用来询问时间的特殊疑问句及其相应的回答。（what time；when） 【语法透析】 一、如何用when与what time询问时间 When与what time都可以用来询问时间，意为“什么时候”，但它们并不完全等同。在不同的语境下，它们的使用还是有一定讲究的。What time用来询问具体的时间点；when既可以用来询问具体的时间点，还可以用来询问时间段。也就是说，它们有时可以互换，有时却不能，具体用法如下： 1.询问做某事的时间（钟点）时，两者可以互相替换。例如：——When /What time do you go to school?——I go to school at seven o’clock. 2.询问钟表所表示的具体时间（钟点）时，即几点几分，只能用what time，而不能用when。例如：——What time is it now，Jack?——It’s eight thirty. 3.询问事件发生的年份、月份、日期等非钟点性时间时，只能用when，而不能用what time。例如：1)——When was your brother born?——He was born in 1995.2)——When is Teachers’Day?——It’s September10th. 【拓展记忆】用what time提问时间，答语应包括具体的时间点；用when提问时间，答语则不一定为具体的时间点；用when提问时间，回答若是具体的时间点，则可以用what time替换。 【试题链接】——do you go to school? ——At 7:00 in the morning. A.What B.How C.What time D.How old (what“什么”；how“怎样”；what time“什么时间”；how old“多大”。由答语“At 7:00 in the morning.”可知问句是对具体时刻提问，故选C。) 【试题链接】——did you visit the Science Museum? ——Three months ago.. A.When B.Where C.What D.Which (答语“Three months ago.”意思是“三个月前”，由此可知询问的内容应为“何时”，故选A。) 二、时间表达法
