　　Linda and David have travelled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised(答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely.

　　But Linda has promised that she would ring. "However," she says, "‘it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it‘s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second (每秒六便士)。"

　　"If you‘re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat,‘ David says, "And one minute’s nearly four pounds(英镑). "

　　When a light passenger plane flew off course[1] some time ago, something was wrong with it and it crashed[2] in the mountains and its pilot[3] was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters,were unhurt. It was the middle of winter.Snow lay thick on the ground.The woman knew that the nearest village was kilometres away.She couldn‟t find anything in the snow but a suit-case[4]. When it grew dark, she turned the suit-case into a bed and put the children inside it, covering[5] them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes flying above and wanted to know how she could send a signal[6]. Then she had an idea. She wrote the letters „SOS‟ in the snow. Luckily, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a group of people arrived and they took the woman and her daughters to hospital at once.

　　Eating

　　An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you

　　to have lunch with him, you may say something like this,“I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have very little money." The other person may say,“OK, I‟ll meet you at McDonald‟s."

　　This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also

　　say,“Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s," or“I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They’re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn‟t pay for the meal. You may just say,“Thank you. That would be very nice."

　　American customs(1) about who pays for dates(2) are much the same as in other parts of

　　the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university(3) girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest(4).” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question cl...

　　Acrisius 阿克里西俄斯

　　Acrisius，king of Argos，was Hypermnestra' s grandson.He had one beautiful daughter， Danae by name. So much did he love her that he decided not to remarry after the death of his wife. But one day an oracle from Delphi prophesied that he would be killed by the son of Danae.He felt so upset that his love suddenly changed to fear and hatred. To avoid the disaster he built a tall bronze tower，wherein he shut Danae up with her nurse.he kept the key of the tower himself，and left only the roof open for Danae to take an occasional look at the blue sky above. One bright sunny morning Danae felt a childish joy at the sight of the clear，blue sky and longed for freedom when a golden shower of sunlight shot through the open roof and spread all over her.A wave of happiness spread all over her，and Zeus himself stood before her in his splendour and won her.

　　Some time later，a guard came rushing into King Acrisius' palace and told the astonished king that Danae had given birth to a son. The baby was called Perseus. Acrisius decided that both mother and son must die if he wanted to live himself. Very soon he had a great chest(箱子) built，where he put Danae and her son，and then set it adrift on the sea . Answering the sad prayers of the poor mother，Zeus had the chest swept onto the land of the Seriphos. Polydectes，king of the country，treated them at first with kindness，...

　　泰索尼斯 Tithonus

　　Every day，when Helios drove his wonderful horses and his fiery carriage across the sky，it was Aurora who opened the gates of pearl and drew back the dark curtains of the night;for Aurora was the goddess of the dawn .She was so beautiful that the whole sky became pink with pleasure when she appeared in the east.

　　On the earth lived a man called Tithonus，who loved Aurora so well that he never failed to leave his bed while it was still dark，to watch for her coming.Aurora loved Tithonus too，and one day she flew to the king of the gods，and begged of him that Tithonus might be given a cup of magic liquid ，and so become living forever.

　　Zeus allowed this request， and Aurora took Tithonus up to Mount Olympus to live in her golden house.

　　The goddess had forgotten to ask that Tithonus might never grow old.Therefore，the time came when gray hairs could be seen among his golden curls . Aurora was kind to him in spite of this，and continued to give him beautiful clothes，and to feed him on the food of the gods.Still， Tithonus grew older and older，and in time，after several hundred years，he was so old that he could not move at all.Little was left of him but his voice ，and even that had grown high and thin. Then he was so weak that he had to be shut up in a room，for safekeeping.Aurora felt so sorry to see him become weaker and weaker in this way that ...
