When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand! 　　New words and expressions 生词和短语 　　detective n. 侦探 　　airport n. 机场 　　expect v. 期待，等待 　　valuable adj. 贵重的 　　parcel n. 包裹 　　diamond n. 钻石 　　steal v. 偷 　　main adj. 主要的 　　airfield n. 飞机起落的场地 　　guard n. 警戒，守卫 　　precious adj. 珍贵的 　　stone n. 石子 　　sand n. 沙子 　　参考译文 　　飞机误点了，侦探们在机场等了整整一上午。他们正期待从南非来的一个装着钻石的贵重包裹。数小时以前，有人向警方报告，说有人企图偷走这些钻石。当飞机到达时，一些侦探等候在主楼内，另一些侦探则守候在停机坪上。有两个人把包裹拿下飞机，进了海关。这时两个侦探把住门口，另外两个侦探打开了包裹。令他们吃惊的是，那珍贵的包裹里面装的全是石头和沙子!

的和最差的 　　First listen and then answer the question. 　　听录音，然后回答以下问题。 　　Why is Joe's garden the most beautiful one in the town? 　　Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town! 　　New words and expressions 生词和短语 　　competition n. 比赛，竞赛 　　neat adj. 整齐的，整洁的 　　path n. 小路，小径 　　wooden adj. 木头的 　　pool n. 水池 　　参考译文 　　乔.桑德斯拥有我们镇上最漂亮的花园。几乎每个人都参加每年举办的“花园竞赛”，而每次都是乔获胜。比尔.弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大，他比乔也更为勤奋，种植的花卉和蔬菜也更多，但乔的花园更富有情趣。他修筑了一条条整洁的小路，并在一个池塘上架了一座小木桥。我也喜欢花园，但我却不愿意辛勤劳动。每年的花园竞赛我也参加，但总因是镇上最劣的花园而获得一个小奖!

冷遇 　　First listen and then answer the question. 　　听录音，然后回答以下问题。 　　What does 'a cold welcome' refer to? 　　On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted. 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing. 　　New words and expressions 生词和短语 　　welcome n. 欢迎;v. 欢迎 　　crowd n. 人群 　　gather v. 聚集 　　hand n.
