Additional Information
Do you believe in ghosts? I don't. either - or at least I didn't until i heard a strange story the other day form Mr Mike Paton, of 19 Marlborough Hill.
It all began on November 28, when Mr Paton's eight-year-old son, Bob, was playing in the big back garden of his parents' house. He met an old man with long write beard. The old man told Bob he was building the underground railway there, but Bob didn't believe him. Bob told me afterwards that he knew the underground ran under Marlborough Hill itself. The old man said there had been an accident the day before. Then he went away.
At first the Patons didn't believe Bob's story. Mrs Paton told me that Bob ofter made up stories about ghosts and monsters, like other children of his age. But Mr Paton was cu****s and decided that he would go to the library to check  up on the facts.
He found that the railway company had started to build the line to the west of Marborough Hill in 1881, but they had run into an underground river. Ten workmen had died in an accident and the Company had changed the direction of the line and built the present tunnel under marlborough Hill. At first I didn't believe Mr Paton's story either, so I did some research myself.
Inspector Bright of the Metropolitan Police said it was natural to find tramps in the district in winter, but no one had reported on answering the description I had given him since last August.
The source of this extraordinary story was not affected by the news. 'I told Mummy it was true,' young Bob Paton told me yesterday. When I left the house he was playing happily with his toy cars - in the garden!

Lesson 4
Musical Half-Notes
A musician who played Pop Music in a Club lived in a boardinghouse in the centre of London. He always used to get back to his room very late at night and sometimes in the early hours of the morning. He was so tired when he got back that he would sit on the edge of his bed, take off his shoes and throw them on the floor and say, "Thank goodness, another day is over." He would then get into bed and fall fast asleep.
But the poor lodger who had the room under the musician's was woken up each night, or early in the morning, by the two thuds that the two shoes made as they landed on his ceiling. Finally, he could not stand it any more and went and complained to the musician.
Naturally the musician was very upset and promised that, in future, after taking off his shoes, he would put them down as quietly as possible on the carpet.
The next day, he got back form his club at about one o'clock in the morning, went up to his room, sat on the edge of his bed, took off one shoe and threw it on the floor. He was just about to do the same with the other when he suddenly remembered the promise he had made the day before. So with great care he put the second shoe down silently on the carpet. Then he got into bed and fell fast asleep. An hour later, he was woken up by a violent knocking on his door. It was the lodger who slept in the room just under his.
"lease, please, please," the lodger pleaded, "drop the other shoe. I have been waiting for a whole hour for you to drop it. As soon as you do I can go to sleep."

Text B
Of all the men who ever liked fresh air, not one liked it more than James Wilson. He took long walks in the fresh air. He ran long distances in the fresh air. He played football and other games in the fresh air. He liked to climb mountains and breathe the fresh air at the top. He used to go to sit by the sea and watch the great waves int the fresh air. He always slept with his windows wide open. He had an open car with no roof, and he drove it madly through the fresh air.
If Wilson entered a room where the windows were shut, he immediately opened them. He did this even when snow was falling outside. If someone else shut the windows again, he walked out of the room in a manner which showed his opinions without any doubt. When he traveled by sea, he could usually be found in a place on board where the wild wind was blowing through his hair.
One winter Wilson went to Finland on business. Good hotels in Finland are heated during the cold winter, and this winter was even colder than usual. When Wilson reached his room in the hotel, he found that the windows were closed to keep the icy air out. He did his best to open one, but failed. It was absolutely impossible to open it : the manager had very wisely arranged that.
Wilson undressed and got into bed. he was a very angry man.
The bedroom was very pleasant. Two or three pictures on the walls showed views of some beautiful parts of Finland. There was no noise at all. The bed was really excellent, but Wilson could not sleep. He could not forget the closed window. No fresh air! It was terrible to think of!
He got out of bed and tried once more to open the window; but it was useless, and he sadly got back into bed.
At about one o'clock in the morning he was still awake, worrying about the air in the bedroom. He had turned over in bed two hundred and thirty-six times. He was very hot. As he turned over for the two hundred and thirty-seventh time, one arm came out of the bedclothes and hung down ****e the bed. His hand touched the floor. It also touched something on the floor. This thing was a shoe.

An idea came into his worried mind. Angry men act quickly, and the shoe was in his hand in less than a second. Where was the window? He could see something that looked like glass over there. He threw the shoe through the darkness with all the force of his strong right arm.
The shoe flew straight through the air and hit the glass in the middle. A terrible sound of breaking glass filled the bedroom, but to Wilson's sad heart is seemed like the sound of sweet and beautiful music.
"Now I have some fresh air in the room," he thought. "Now I need not die."
Five minutes later he was peacefully asleep. He did not move for many hours.
When the daylight came gently through the window, he awoke and lay with his eyes closed. Where was he? Oh, yes! He was in Finland; but what was the matter? Was anything wrong? There was something to worry about. What was it? Oh, the broken window! Yes, indeed. He would have to pay for that. How much? Was it a big piece of glass? He could not remember. He opened his eyes to look.
Slowly he turned them towards the window, and then he sat up suddenly in bed. He was very surprised: the window was not broken at all. The glass was all in one piece, just as good as it had been the night before. No fresh air was entering the room through that window.
What, then, had happened when he threw the shoe?
He turned his eyes to the side and saw a broken picture hanging on the wall. There was a shoe on the floor below it. He could see a lot of broken glass round the shoe, and there was more inside it.

Alice：It’s not really all that good. The bedroom is a little small for us.
Jason：Small but it should be enough for our needs, I think.
Alice：But there’s no hot water after 10 at night. Sometimes I like to have a hot shower before bed, especially in the winter. It feels good.

Alice：True, and I like the kitchen. It’s new and well equipped.
Jason：It has a great balcony with an incredible view of the park.

详细解说
“What do you think of…”这个句型可以用来询问别人对某事物的看法。
“have/take a hot shower ”表示“冲个热水澡”。例如： Mary loves 
having a hot shower after she’s been swimming. （玛丽喜欢游泳后冲个热水澡。）“洗冷水澡”则为“have/take a cold shower”，例如：It was such a hot night that I had a cold shower to refresh myself.（那个晚上好热，我冲了个冷水澡提提神。）

“be filled with sunshine”表示“阳光普照，充满阳光”。“be filled with  sth.”表示“被…填满，充满着…”，例如：The room is filled with the sound of children's laughter.（房间里充满了孩子们的欢声笑语。）

“be well equipped”表示“设备安装得很齐全、很完备”。另外，“be equipped with sth.”表示“安装/配备有某种设备”。例如：The rooms are equipped with video cameras.（这些房间都安装了摄像头。）

FUN 轻松：贴士
不应“依赖老师”
很多中国学生在学英语的时候，看似付出了“极大努力”：他们听课非常认真，笔记也做了厚厚的几大本，老师指定的习题都能按时完成。但几年下来，英语水平却没有明显的提高。这是为什么呢？我们知道，英语作为一门语言技能，和其他科目的学习存在着差别，除笔头练习外，更应注重个人的口、耳训练。而这类同学在学习时缺乏主动性，过于依赖老师。他们对于知识只是被动地接受，而不是主动地思考，更别提对所学内容的巩固强化和融会贯通了。英语学习的主体是学生自身，而不是老师，老师只是起了一个引导和辅助的作用。中国的那句古话“师傅领进门，修行在个人”说的就是这个道理。

Lesson 5
Is He a Hero?
"Fire! Fire!" What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house - the sort that burns beautifully - and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.
I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see flames all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.
I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I  saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man's coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.
"My baby! My baby!" she cried. The crowd cheered wildly as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was the Mayor's wife, and I had saved her baby. I was a hero!

Teresa went up to Mrs Webster's room, two stairs at a time. She was nearly at the top when she stopped and sniffed. A strong smell of gas was coming from that direction. Teresa ran up the remaining stairs and threw open the door. She put her hands over her mouth to stop a scream. Mrs Webster was lying on the floor near the sink. Her skin and lips had a pinkish colour and she appeared to be unconscious. The room was full of gas.

Additional Information
Who doesn't love sitting ****e a cosy fire on a cold winter's night? Who doesn't  love to watch flames curling up a chimney? Fire is one of man's greatest friends, but also one of the greatest enemies. Many big fires are caused by carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes, though, a fire can start on its own. Wet hay can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens : the hay starts to rot and begins to give off heat which is trapped inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That's why farmers cut and store their hay when it's dry.
Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the 17th century, a small fire which began in a baker's shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. And, of course, in 64 A. D. Nero fiddled while Rome burned! Even today, in spite of modern fire-fighting methods, fire causes millions of pounds' worth of damage each year both in our cities and in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master.
