How did the policeman discover that the whole thing was a joke?It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire brigade to put out a nonexistent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in. Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims.When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information.The student did in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen. He threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seizethe pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a pay phone. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.参考译文谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。

新概念3Lesson 42 modern caveman

Lesson 42 modern cavemanCave exploration, or pot-holing, as it has come to be known, is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desire for solution or the chance of making an unexpected discovery that lures people down to the depths of the earth. It is impossible to give a satisfactory explanation for a pot-holer’s motives. For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climbers. They arouse instincts which can only be dimly understood.Exploring really deep caves is not a task for the Sunday afternoon ramber. Such undertakings require the orecise planning and foresight of military opertations. It can take as long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and to establish supply bases before a descent can be made into a very deep cave. Precautions of this sort are necessary, for it is impossinle to foretell the exact nature of the diffculties which will comfront the pot-holer. The deepest known cave in the world is the gouffre berger near gernoble. It extends to a depth of 3700 feet. This immense chasm has been formed by an underground stream which has tunneled a course through a flaw in the rock. The entrance to the cave is on a plateau I the Alps. As it is only 6 feet across, it is barely noticeable. The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by thedistinguished french pot-holer, Berger. Since its discovery it has become a sort of pot-holer’s everst. Thought a number of descents have been made, much of it still remains to be explore.A team of pot-holers recently went down the GB. After entering the narrow gap on the plateau, they climbed down the steep sides of the cave until they came to a narrow corridor. They had to edge their way along this, sometimes wading across shallow streams , or swimming across deep pools. Suddenly they came to a waterfall which dropped into an underground lake at the bottom of the cave. They plunged into the lake,and after loading on an inflatable rubber dinghy, let the curret carry them to the other side. T o protect themselves from the icy water, they have to wear special rubber suits. At the far end of the lake, they came to huge piles of rubble which had been washed up by water. In this part of the cave, they could hear an insistant booming sound which they found was caused by a small waterspout shooting down into a pool from the roof of the cave. Squzzing through a cleft in the rocks, the pot-holers arrived in an enormous carven, the size of a huge concert hall. After switching on powerful arc light, they saw salagmites-sime of them over forty feet high- rising up like tree trunks t meet the stalactites suspended from the roof. Round about, piles of limestone glistened in all the colors of the rainbow. In theeerie silence of the carven, the only sound could be heard was made by water which dripped continuously from the high dome above.Jan 30th。

新概念英语第三册第40课

新概念英语第三册第40课Lesson 40 in New Concept English - A Summer's ReadingSummer is a season that many people look forward to. It brings warm weather, longer days, and the perfect conditions for outdoor activities. However, for some, summer is also a great time to dive into a good book. In this lesson, we will explore the joys of summer reading and how it can enhance our language skills and broaden our horizons.Reading during the summer break is a fantastic way to unwind and relax. With no school or work commitments, we have the freedom to choose any book we desire and read at our own pace. Whether it's a gripping novel, an educational non-fiction book, or a collection of short stories, the options are endless. Engrossing ourselves in a captivating story can transport us to another world, providing a much-needed escape from the stresses of everyday life.Moreover, summer reading can have a significant impact on our language skills. For those learning English, reading books in the language is crucial in improving vocabulary and grammar. Constant exposure to English literature allows us to acquire new words and phrases organically, without the need for tedious memorization. Contextual understanding becomes natural, and our ability to comprehend complex texts grows with every book we read. Additionally, exposure to different writing styles and genres aids in the development of our own writing skills.Furthermore, reading during the summer can broaden our horizons and increase our knowledge about various subjects. By picking up books ondifferent cultures, history, or science, we can expand our understanding of the world around us. Through the pages of a book, we can immerse ourselves in the lives of others, gaining empathy and a broader perspective. Reading also stimulates critical thinking and encourages us to question and analyze ideas, fostering intellectual growth.To make the most of our summer reading, it is important to set aside dedicated time for it. Allocating a specific time every day, be it in the morning, afternoon, or evening, ensures that we make consistent progress. Turning off distractions such as phones, TVs, or computers can also help create a conducive reading environment. Finding a peaceful spot, whether it's a cozy corner of our home or a relaxing café, can further enhance the reading experience.Choosing the right books to read is equally important. It's essential to select genres and subjects that genuinely interest us. By reading books that resonate with our passions, we are more likely to stay engaged and motivated throughout the summer. Additionally, seeking recommendations from friends, family, or fellow book lovers can lead us to hidden literary gems that we may have otherwise overlooked.In conclusion, summer reading is a highly enjoyable and beneficial activity. It provides a means of relaxation, enhances language skills, broadens our horizons, and stimulates intellectual growth. By setting aside dedicated time, creating a conducive reading environment, and carefully selecting books, we can make the most of this wonderful summer pastime. So, grab a book, find a comfortable spot, and embark on a summer's reading adventure that will captivate and enrich your mind.。

Lesson1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered （adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。

Lesson41 Illusions of Pastoral peace 宁静田园生活的遐想The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me. City born and city bred, I have always regarded the country as something you look at through a train window, or something you occasionally visit during the week-end. Most of my friends live in the city, yet they always go into raptures at the mere mention of the country. Though they extol the virtues of the peaceful life, only one of them has ever gone to live in the country and he was back in town within six months. Evenhe still lives under the illusion that country life is somehow superior to town life. He is forever talking about the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cock crow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures. This idyllic pastoral scene isonly part of the picture. My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter evenings which are interrupted only by an occasional visit to the local cinema-virtually the only form of entertainment. He says nothing about the poor selection of goods in the shops, or about those unfortunate people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work. Why people are prepared to tolerate a four hour journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country is beyond my ken. They could be saved so much misery and expense if they chose to live in the city where they rightly belong.If you can do without the few pastoral pleasures of the country, you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer. You never have to travel miles to see your friends. They invariably live nearby and are always available for an informal chat or an evening's entertainment. Some of my acquaintances in the country come up to town once or twice a year to visit the theatre as a special treat. For them this is a major operation which involves considerable planning. As the play draws to its close, they wonder whether they will ever catch that last train home. The city dweller never experiences anxieties of this sort. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. There is so much variety that you never have to make do with second best. Country people run wild when they go shopping in the city and stagger home loaded with as many of the necessities of life as they can carry. Nor is the city without its moments of beauty. There is something comforting about the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at week-ends when the thousands that travel to work everyday are tucked a way in their homes in the country. It has always been a mystery to me why city dwellers, who appreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to live in the country.宁静的乡村生活从来没有吸引过我。

Lesson1A puma at largePumas['pju:mə] are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted（发现）forty-five miles（mile[mail]）south of London, they were not taken seriously(严肃的，当真的['sɪrɪəslɪ] ). However, as the evidence（['evidəns]证据，证明）began to accumulate（累积，积攒[ə'kjumjə,let]）, experts from the Zoo felt obliged([ə'blaidʒd]感激的，迫使,有必要)to investigate（[in'vestigeit]调研，研究）, for the descriptions（描述，说明书[dɪ'skrɪpʃən]）given bypeople who claimed[kleim] to have seen the puma were extraordinarily（[iks'trɔ:dnrili]非常，格外地）similar.The hunt[hʌnt] for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries （blackberry黑莓['blæk,beri]）saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed（确定的，习惯的[kən'fɝmd]）that a puma will not attack （进攻，努力地着手于[ə'tæk]）a human being unless it is cornered['kɔ:nəd]（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed（看到，注意到，观察，评述评论[əb'zə:v]）at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening.

新概念第三册课文翻译及学习笔记Lesson42

新概念第三册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson42 【课文】Cave exploration, or potholing, as it has come to be known, is a relatively new sport. Perhaps it is the desirefor solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discoverythat lures men down to the depths of the earth. It isimpossible to give a satisfactory explanation for a pot-holer's motives. For him, caves have the same peculiar fascinationwhich high mountains have for the climber. They arouseinstincts which can only be dimly understood.Exploring really deep caves is not a task for theSunday afternoon rambler. Such undertakings require theprecise planning and foresight of military operations. It cantake as long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and toestablish supply bases before a descent can be made into avery deep cave. Precautions of this sort are necessary, for itis impossible to foretell the exact nature of the difficultieswhich will confront the potholer. The deepest known cave inthe world is the Gouffre Berger near Grenoble. It extends toa depth of 3723 feet. This immense chasm has been formed byan underground stream which has tunnelled a course througha flaw in the rocks. The entrance to the cave is on a plateauin the Dauphine Alps. As it is only six feet across, it isbarely noticeable. The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French potholer, Berger. Since its discovery, it has become a sortof potholers' Everest. Though a number of descents havebeen made, much of it still remains to be explored.A team of potholers recently went down the GouffreBerger. After entering the narrow gap on the plateau, theyclimbed down the steep sides of the cave until they came to a narrow corridor. They had to edge their way along this,sometimes wading across shallow streams, or swimmingacross deep pools. Suddenly they came to a waterfall which dropped into an underground lake at the bottom of the cave.They plunged into the lake, and after loading their gear on an inflatable rubber dinghy, let the current carry them to the other side. To protect themselves from the icy water, theyhad to wear special rubber suits. At the far end of the lake,they came to huge piles of rubble which had been washed up bythe water. In this part of the cave, they could hear aninsistent booming sound which they found was caused by asmall water-spout shooting down into a pool from the roof ofthe cave. Squeezing through a cleft in the rocks, thepotholers arrived at an enormous cavern, the size of a hugeconcert hall. After switching on powerful arc lights, theysaw great stalagmites —some of them over forty feet high--rising up like tree-trunks to meet the stalactites suspendedfrom the roof. Round about, piles of lime-stone glistened in allthe colours of the rainbow. In the eerie silence of the cavern,the only sound that could be heard was made by water which dripped continuously from the high dome above them.【课文翻译】洞穴勘查——或洞穴勘探——是一项比拟新的体育活动。
