Lesson 85 Never too old to learn
Now that my former headmaster,Mr.Page,is retiring,pupils of the school will be sending him a gift and an album with the signatures of all those who have contributed.Many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour.After having completed forty years as a teacher,Mr.Page will devote himself to gardening,which will be a new hobby for him,but one is never too old to learn.
Lesson 86 Out of control
The moment the speedboat struck the buoy,both men were thrown into the water.As it moved off very quickly across the water,the men began to swim towards the shore.Turning in a circle,the speedboat came straight towards them.After it had just missed them,they swam until they were out of danger.When the boat returned it had lost speed.Soon all the petrol was used up and it floated across the water.
Lesson 87 A perfect alibi
At the time of the murder,the man claimed that he had been travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London and had arrived at work on time.When the inspector asked if a later train would get him to work on time,the man agreed it would but said that he always travelled early.The inspector suggested that he was lying because,that morning,the 8 o'clock train broke down,so the man must have caught the 8,25.
Lesson 88 Trapped in a mine
Six men who have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours may lose their lives because rescue operations are proving difficult.Since explosives might cause the roof of the mine to collapse,rescue workers are drilling a hole through hard rock,but progress is slow.Two hours ago,a microphone was lowered into the mine and the men have been in touch with their relatives.They are running short of food and drink but they are in good spirits.
Lesson 89 A slip of the tongue
The local cinema was packed because the P&U Bird Seed Company was presenting a free comedy show.As many of the artistes who should have appeared failed to turn up,the show was very dull.The funniest thing we heard came at the beginning from the advertiser who introduced the programme saying,'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company.Good ladies,evening and gentlemen!'
Lesson 90
Divers working on North Sea oil rigs are often terrified by giant fish that bump into them when they are working in deep water.These fish are not sharks or whales.On the contrary,they are favourite eating varieties that grow to unnatural sizes.Three factors have caused this to happen:the first is the warmth from oil-pipes;the second is the supply of plentiful food;the third is the absence of fishing round the rigs.本回答被提问者采纳
