Lesson 57 Can I help you,madam
Though the woman in jeans hesitated for a moment,she entered an expensive shop and asked to see a
dress that was in the window.On being told by an assistant that the dress was sold,the woman returned the following morning dressed in a fur coat.The assistant was eager to serve her this time.After making him bring her almost everything in the window,the woman finally bought the dress she had first asked for.
Lesson 58 A blessing in disguise
The number of visitors to the village of Frinley has increased because there is said to be a 鈥榗ursed
tree鈥 near the church.Since the villagers believe that if anyone picks a leaf he will die,they have asked the vicar to have the tree cut down.As the tree is a useful source of income,the vicar has refused to have the tree cut down.Meanwhile,though tourists have been picking leaves,not one of them has come to harm.
Lesson 59 In or out
Our dog,Rex,used to sit outside the front gate and bark so that someone would open it.Ever since my husband trained him to open the gate himself,Rex has developed another bad habit.He barks when he is in the garden so that someone will let him out.After this he lets himself in and barks until someone opens the gate again.Now that my husband has removed the gate,Rex has disappeared.
Lesson 60 The future
The writer visited a fortune-teller at a village fair who told him that a relation was coming to see him.She added that a woman he knew well would speak to him when he left the tent and he would follow her out of the fair.This came true because his wife spoke to him when he went outside.She told him they had to meet his sister at the station and she led him out of the fair.
Lesson 61 Trouble with the Hubble
When the Hubble telescope was launched into space in April 1990,the pictures it sent us were very
disappointing because the main mirror was faulty.Four astronauts will soon be making the necessary
repairs,and eventually,pictures from the Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe.
Lesson 62 After the fire
It took the firemen nearly three weeks to get the forest fire under control.Now that all the great trees had been burnt,there was danger that heavy rain would cause serious floods which would destroy the surrounding villages.To prevent this,the forest authorities ordered grass-seed which was sprayed over the ground by planes for nearly a month.By the time that it began to rain,the grass had taken root in many places.
Lesson 63 She was not amused
When Jeremy Hampden,who is greatly admired for his great sense of humour,was invited to make a
speech at a wedding reception,he immediately agreed to do so.Since the speech contained a lot of
funny stories,it was a great success.When his six-year-old daughter,Jenny,wanted to go home after
his speech,Jeremy was disappointed.She had not enjoyed it because she did not like to see so many
people laughing at him.
Lesson 64 The channel tunnel
The tunnel,which the French engineer,Aime Thome,planned to build under the English Channel in
1858,would be ventilated by tall chimneys built above sea level.An Englishman,William Lowe,
suggested a better plan two years later.Passing trains would solve the problem of ventilation in his
proposed double railway-tunnel because they would draw in fresh air behind them.Though work began
forty-two years later,it was stopped because the British feared .
Lesson 65 Jumbo versus the police
After having decided to take some presents to a children鈥檚 hospital,the circus owner,Jimmy Gates,
dressed up as Father Christmas and set off down the main street of the city riding an elephant called
Jumbo.On being told that he was holding up the traffic,Jimmy agreed to go at once but Jumbo refused
to move,so fifteen policemen had to push him off the main street.As he had a good record,however,
Jumbo was not arrested.
Lesson 66 Sweet as honey!
The Lancaster bomber was not too badly damaged when it crashed on a remote island in the South Pacific.Then the wreck remained undisturbed for twenty-six years until it was rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island.The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France,where a group of enthusiasts will be having it restored.They will have to have three of the engines rebuilt,but the fourth engine is still in perfect condition because a colony of bees had turned it into a hive and it was totally covered in beeswax.
Lesson 67 Volcanoes
Tazieff,the Polish scientist,went to Lake Kive in the Congo in 1948 to observe a new volcano which he called Kituro.After taking photographs,he had to leave almost at once because a river of liquid rock threatened to surround him.He escaped just in time but he returned two days late when the volcano had became quiet.This time he climbed into the mouth of Kituro in order to take photographs and measure temperatures.
Lesson 68 Persistent
Even though Elizabeth tried to avoid meeting Nigel Dykes,she was not able to do so.As he always insisted on accompanying her,she had to think of a way of preventing him from following her around all morning.When she told him she was going to the dentist,he said he would come with her because there was always plenty to read in the waiting room.
Lesson 69 But not murder
Mr.Eames had driven successfully through heavy traffic during his third duiving test when the examiner instructed him to drive out of town.He told him to suppose that a child would suddenly cross the road in front of him.Mr.Eames would have to stop the car within five feet when the examiner tapped on the window.Though he tapped loudly,Mr.Eames did not react quickly enough and was told that he had just killed the child.
Lesson 70 Red for danger
A drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring during a bullfight and shouted rude remarks and waved a red cap.Ignoring the matador,the bull charged at the drunk,but he stepped aside to let it pass.The crowd cheered and the drunk bowed.Just after this,three men dragged the drunk to safety while the bull looked on sympathetically before it once more turned its attention to the matador.
Lesson 71 A famous clock
After the Houses of Parliament were burnt down in 1834,Sir Benjamin Hall was made responsible for the construction of a huge clock,which became known as Big Ben.It is very accurate despite its immense size,for offcials from the Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day.This clock,which has rarely gone wrong,can be heard on the B.B.C.when it is striking,because microphones are connected to the clock tower.
