Blackbones Saves the School布莱克博恩拯救学校Part 1It was the first day of term at Abbey Park School. Class 4 sat in the neat rows. They sat up straight. Nobody talked or picked their nose. The Head, Miss Lupin, had told them to wait quietly for their new teacher.Suddenly the door flew open. The new teacher strode in .He had a black patch over one eye and a sword at his belt. His beard hung in thick dark curls.‘Ahoy, mates! The name’s Blackbones , Captain Blackbones!’ he bellowed.Blackbones sat down on top of his desk. He kicked off his black boots, showing a hole in one sock.Class 4 gasped as he pulled out his sword—and used it to sharpen a pencil.He pointed at Yasmin.‘You, matey, what lesson is it?’‘Please Captain, geography.’Blackbones stroked his beard.‘ Ge-og-ruffy. Never heard of it. We’ll start with Art.’Lessons began. They painted a skull and crossbones on the classroom door. With their rulers, they practiced sword fighting.Blackbones winked. ‘Now you looks like proper pirates. Let’s sail for the sea.’‘The sea’s miles away,’ said Adrian.‘And Miss Lupin doesn’t let us go on trips,’ said Yasmin.Tara had an idea.‘What about the school swimming pool?’‘Just the job! Set sail for the swimming pool!’roared Blackbones. He was enjoying himself. T eaching was far more fun than he’d expectedMiss Lupin was in the swimming pool with Class 3 when the door burst open.‘Captain Blackbones…!’ she began. But it was too late. Blackbones ordered his pirates forward. ‘Enemy ahoy!’Miss Lupin watched in horror as the pirates of Class 4 charged past her. They didn’t even stop to change into their swimsuits. They jumped straight into the pool yelling, ‘Yo ho ho!’Class 3 threw rubber rings at the pirates. The pirates threw back plastic floats. Blackbones was everywhere, waving his sword and shouting orders. It was just like the good old days.Part 2All of a sudden Miss lupin’s whistle split the air. Most of Class 3 were up on the diving board. The pirates were about to make them walk the plank.Blackbones pointed to his class .Rattle me cutlass, Miss lupin. Did I teach‘em well or not?’Miss Lupin turned to him with a face as black as thunder.‘Get those children down this minute!’She ordered.‘And you, Captain ,I want to see you in my office right away.’Blackbones spent all afternoon in Miss Lupin’s office. When he came back he threw his hat on the floor.‘Barnacles!’ he muttered.Tara and Yasmin had waited behind to see him.“What happened? What did Miss Lupin say ?”they asked.‘I’ve got to go ,shipmates,’ said Blackbones sadly .‘You mean Miss Lupin has sacked you? After only one day ?’The girls couldn’t believe itBlackbones sighed.‘I guess I’m no use as a teacher.’‘You’re the best teacher we’ve ever had ,’said Yasmin.Blackbones put on his hat.‘Kind of you to say so ,maties . But I’ve got to go by the end of the week ,right after the school fair.’Tara and Yasmin walked away sadly .If only they hadn’t fought Class 3 in the swimming pool. Now Blackbones was going .And they would never get a teacher like him again.As they passed Miss Lupin’s office they heard voices inside.‘We need £10,000—and that’s just to mend the roof!’ sighed Miss Lupin .‘This school was started by my Great Aunt Amelia. It’s been here two hundred years. Now I’ll have to close it down .’‘Maybe the school fair will go well this year ?’ said Miss Punter ,the games teacher.Miss Lupin shook her head .‘It will take a miracle to make £10,000.’The two girls were listening outside Tara grabbed Yasmin’s arm .‘That’s it!’She said .‘That’s how we’ll save the captain!’Next day Tara explained her idea to the rest of Class 4.All they needed was a way to make £10,000 at the school fair. The school would be saved. And Miss Lupin would be so pleased, she would give Blackbones back his job.‘We could sell cakes .I can them in cookery.’ said Fiona .‘Your cakes are like lumps of rock,’ said Mungo .‘Let’s kidnap Miss Lupin .We could demand £10,000 set her free,’ said Adrian .But no one could see anyone paying 10p for Miss Lupin , let alone £10,000.Blackbones looked up. He was mending the hole in his sock.‘Tea and cakes are for old folk,’ he said ‘Give me the sea breeze in my hair and a treasure map in my hand. That’s the life for a pirate.’Tara jumped up and clapped her hands.‘That’s it ! A treasure hunt .Great idea, Captain!’‘But we haven’t got any treasure.’ Yamin said .‘We don’t need any .We’ll just sell lots of maps. Each map will show the treasure in a different place. That’ll keep people digging all day.’ Said Tara . Part 3The day of the school fair arrived. Miss Lupin greeted the crows. She hopedthey would spend lots of money.‘But we’ll never make 10,000,’she sighed. I’ll have to close the old school down. What would Great Aunt Amelia say?’She passed the stall run by Class 4.Captain Blackbones was standing on a box. ‘Find the buried treasure!’ he was shouting. ‘Have a go, matey! Buy a map and dig for pirate gold!’‘What a good idea!’ said an old lady. ‘You look just like a real pirate.’Adrian and Yasmin were selling treasure maps. On every map was a skull and crossbones. An X marked where the treasure was. Blackbones had drawn the maps himself and they were selling like hot cakes.‘I thought I told you to forget about pirates,’ said Miss Lupin crossly.‘It’s a pirate treasure hunt,’ said T ara. It was the Captain’s idea.’Miss Lupin glared at Blackbones.‘Buried treasure! Stuff and nonsense! The sooner you’re out of this school the better.’But the treasure hunt was the star of the fair. Everywhere Miss Lupin went she saw people puzzling over treasure maps. It was only later that they began digging.Mr Bliss, the music teacher, came running up. ‘Miss Lupin….it’s the games field,’ he panted. ‘Come and look.’Miss Lupin went with him. The games field had gone. In every corner people were digging for buried treasure.It was the same story on the front lawn .Dads with pick axes had started onthe car park. Some were even taking up the floor in the school hall.Miss Lupin sat down on the grass. She felt ill. Her school looked as if it had been bombed.‘Excuse me,’ said a man with a spade. ‘Would you mind moving? I want to dig for treasure there.’Miss Lupin went to look for Blackbones.She found him counting out money.‘Rattle me cutlass! We made over 100!’He showed her the money. But Miss Lupin’s face had gone purple.‘Look what you’ve done to my school! It’s ruined! Ruined!’She swing her handbag. Blackbones dodged. He wasn’t used to fighting hopping mad headteachers .Just then, Miss Punter the games teacher came running up. Her face was caked in dirt and she was holding a silver box.‘Miss Lupin! Look, I found it! The buried treasure!’ she cried.‘But there wasn’t any……’Yasmin started to say. T ara tried to shut her up.Miss Punter opened the sliver box. Everyone gasped. Inside were sparking jewels and necklaces.‘The treasure map led me straight to them,’ said Miss Punter, ‘Just as it said, X marked the spot.’Miss Lupin read the name inside the silver box. ‘Great Aunt Amelia! These are her jewels! I always knew she’d hidden them somewhere.’She turned to Captain Blackbones.‘You clever, clever man. But how did you know where they were?’For a moment Blackbones was lost for words. Then he gave Miss Lupin a wink. ‘I felt it in me bones,’ he said.The school was saved. The money from the jewels paid for all the repairs. Miss Lupin had the roof mended. Miss Punter got a new games field.And as for Blackbones, the pirate teacher, Miss Lupin gave him a new job teaching the children to sail.This week he took all of Class 4 out in a boat called Salty Sal. They were last seen heading out to sea with the skull and crossbones flying from the mast.Blackbones was at the wheel, the sea breeze in his hair and a treasure map in his hand. Who knows when they will be back?’。

Scrapman was made out of odds and ends that Winston had saved from old broken machines.His brain was made from a personal organizers that someone had thrown away going wrong..It still went wrong,but now Scrapman went wrong with it.‘Od ear,’said Scrapman.Winston was working late.So late, that he was having his supper heated over a gas ring in the shed. Scrapman was opening a tin of baked beans for him. At least he thought it was a tin of baked beans.‘V olly od beans,’said Scrapman.‘I can’t eat that,’said Winston,in a tired kind of voice.’Can’t you read what it says on the label?’Scrapman hung his head.He wasn’t very good at reading.He could read his name and a few really easy words but he couldn’t read what it said on the cat food tin.Scrapcat was watching from under the workbench.He didn’t eat cat food either because he was a mechanical cat and he worked on batteries,not cat food. Scrapman went and sat in the corner.He felt very sad .He wished he could read like Emma.Emma was his special friend.She was teaching him to talk like a human being.She had a picture book with wonderful stories in it about robots.These were mechanical men like him but they could do amazing things.They could drive rockets and walk on the moon an save people from fires and floods and earthquakes. Scrapman loved looking at the pictures, but he had to wait until Emma came round to find out what the stories were about.Scrapcat saw that Scrapman was sad,so he went and sat beside him.Winston opened a proper tin of beans and he put the tin of cat food in looking, Scrapman took it out.He’d bought it as a treat for Patch.Patch was Emma’s cat.He liked to come and play with Scrapcat while Emma was at school.He’d climb in through the window when Winston and Scrapman were busy.Then he’d show Scrapcat how to do useful cat things,like chas ing pieces of strig and hiding things under the workbench. Now,you may be wondering why Winston and Scrapman were so busy.They were working round the clock on Winston’s incredible invention.It was a wonderful flying machine that didn’t need petrol to ma ke it fly.It was almost finished.Just a few more nuts and bots to fix and it would be ready for a test flight.But where had those last few nuts and bolts gone?Chapter2At last,the day came for the first test flight.Winston had cleared a runway through the scrap-yard.The runway led out into a field,and beyond that there was another field,so there was plenty of room to take off.That morning,Winston took off one of his socks and hung it on a pole to test the wind direction.It was an east wind,steady and strong,just right for testing a plane.Emma arrived early with Patch.She’d brought a special picnic and a big bottle of fizzy lemonade to celebrate after the flight.She found Winston and Scrapman busy underneath the machine,making some last-minute checks.Scrapcat was running in and out through his scrapflap giving up-to-the-minute reports on the weather.By ten o’clock in the morning,Winston said that everything was ready.It was going to be cold up there in the sky,so he put on a thick jacket with a woolly lining over his overalls.And he wrote his special goggles to protect his eyes from the wind.‘Open the doors,’he said proudly to Scrapman.’Stand well back,’he said to Emma and Patch.And then,very carefully,Winston and Scrapman pushed the flying machine out into the open.A small crowd had gathered outside.People had heard about the flying machine.They had come to share in the excitement of seeing it take off for the first time.Winston held up a hand for silence.’Welcome,’he said.Then h e said something about this being a ‘historic occasion’ and everyone clapped and some people cheered.One little boy waved the sock on the pole like a flag.Winston climbed up into the flying machine and Scrapman started to climb up behind him.‘Stop.’sai d Winston.’You can’t come with me,Scrapman.You’re too big.The machine could never get off the ground with you in it.’’Winston tested the flaps and jiggled the joystick and looked in his mirrors to check that everything was working properly.Then he pulled down his goggles and turned up his collar.He waved proudly to the crowd.‘Chocks away.’he called out,and Emma and Scrapman pulled out the bricks from under the wheels.Winston started to pedal.The flying machine began to move forward.He pedalled faster and faster and the machine picked up speed. Everyone in the crowd held their breath as the flying machine shot down the runway.It got faster and faster.Winston was pedaling like mad and going red in the face.The machine reached the first field.It w as going very fast indeed,but it didn’t take off.It reached the second field going faster still and it got to the very end of that…But it still didn’t take off.‘Od ear,’said Scrapman.One hour later,Winston was ready to try again.‘I need your he lp, Scrapman,’he sai.He took off his warm woolly lined jacket and handed it to Scrapman. Scrapman looked hopeful. Maybe this time he would have a chance to go up in the incredible flying machine. But no such luck.Winston took off his boots,and his other sock and even his watch.He wanted to make the flying machine lighter.‘Scrapman,this time I want you to get behind and push,’he said.’The machine has to go much faster before it can get off the ground.’Scrapman handed Winston’s warm woolly jacket,the s ock and the watch to Emma and got his shoulder behind the machine. ‘Chocks away.’shouted Winston again.The machine got under way much faster this time.Scrapman was pushing as hard as he could.His legs were going so fast you could hardly see them.The crowd got excited and started clapping.The little boy waved the sock on the pole.The people cheered as the machine sped across the first field.And the next field.It was going so fast,it left Scrapman behind.By the time they had pedaled the machine back to the scrap-yard the crowd had given up and gone home. Scrapman and Winston pushed it back into the shed.One of the wheels had come loose.Winston said the machine probably needed a good oiling before it could fly.Winston seemed depressed.Emma l aid out the picnic on a cloth,but although they were very good sandwiches and nice fizzy lemonade,it wasn’t the celebration they’d been looking forward to.Then Scrapman remembered the tin of fppd he’d saved as a treat for Patch.And although everyone els e was depressed,Patch was happy.Winston spent the afternoon in the shed mending the wheel of the incredibl flying machine and oiling every joint.He had aworried look on his face and he said he didn’t want any help.He didn’t whistle while he was working,which was a bad sign. Scrapman and Emma sat on the grass feeling bored. After a while,Scrapman asked Emma if she would read him a story from her big picture book.‘Scrapman,you should try to learn to read.Than you could read the book for yourself,’sai d Emma.Scrapman didn’t feel like learning to read.He wanted to help Winston.More than anything,he wanted to fly up in the sky in the incredible flying machine.He felt cross.What was the point in reading about robots doing all these incredible things,when he wasn’t allowed to do anything?‘Look,Scrapman,’said Emma,pointing to a word on the page.’R.o.b.o.t.What does that spell?’‘I dun no,’said Scrapman crossly.‘Robot,’said Emma.’You see.It;s easy.’But it wasn’t easy for Scrapman.‘C.a.t,’said Emma,trying something easier.Scrapcat sat up and pricked up his ears and nudged Scrapman.“Cat?”asked Scrapman,“Very good.’said Emma,’Now how a b out d,o,g,?’‘I dun no.’said Scrapman.’You read the story,M,R,’‘Scrapman.you’re not even trying.’said Emma,,’I’m not going to read to you if you won’t try,’And she got up and cleared up the picnic,Then she picked up Patch and went home,Chapter 3That night,Winston finished work on the flying machine.He wiped h is hands on an oily rag and said with a sigh;’Scrapman,my old lad,it may never take off from the ground.But it’s a fine machine all the same.’And went off home for a good night’s sleep.Scrapman didn’t sleep.He sat turning the pages of the pages of the picture book and looking at the pictures.How he would love to have adventures and do brave things like the robots in the stories.He traced a finger along the words that Emma had been reading to him.‘R.o.b.o.b,’he spelt out. ‘Robot!’Maybe it wasn’t s o difficult after all.He sat trying to puzzle out the words of his favourite story Emma had read it to him over again so he almost knew it by heart.He couldn’t read all of the words but he could read enough to remember the story.He fell asleep with his head on the open page of the book.The next morning,Scrapman woke up and wondered where he was.Then he looked at book and remembered that he could read.He felt so proud of himself.Nothing was too difficult for him now.He felt as if he could do anything.He stood up and stretched and looked around the shed.The incredible flying machine was standing in the early morning light.The sun was shining on its fresh new paint.That’s when Scrapman had an idea.He would give Winston the biggest surprise of his life.H e wasn’t too big and heavy and clumsy to fly.He could do incredible things like the robots in the book.He would prove it.He would show the world.So Scrapman woke up Scrapcat and the two of them set to work.Very quietly,they opened the doors of the shed and pushed the incredible flying machine out into the yard.It was a fine morning.The bir ds were singing on the telegraph wires.Winston’s sock was stretched out in the breeze,showingthat the wind was set in just the right direction.‘O volly good,’said Scrapman and he went back into the shed.He put on Winston’s warm woolly jacket and went back to the flying machine.Scrapcat had already jumped up into the back seat and was waiting expectantly.‘Get down,Scrapcat,’said Scrapman. ‘Cats don’t fly.’And he mad e scrapcat jump down and wait on the ground. Scrapman tried to remember everything that Winston had done.He jiggled the flaps and wobbled the joystick.He checked in his mirrors.Then he learned out and gave Scrapcat a rather grand wave.‘Chocks away!’ he shou ted and Scrapcat pushed the bricks away from under the wheels.Scrapman started pedalling.The flying machine shot off down the runway.Scrapcat belted after it and with one giant leap he jumped in behind Scrapman.Scrapman didn’t notice.He was pedalling as hard as he could.The machine went faster and faster.Scrapman’s legs were going round like pistons,which wasn’t surprising b ecause they were pistons.They were going so fast that you couldn’t even see them.They were just a blur.And then ,as they got to t he first field, the flying machine started to lift very gently off the ground.Scrapman was so surprised that he stopped pedalling and the machine bumped down on the ground again.So Scrapman pedalled hard once more and sure enough,the machine started to lift off into the air.It lifted just high enough to clear the hedge at the end of the second field.Incredible as it seemed-they were in the air!But it wasn’t so incredible really because although Scrapman didn’t have a very good brain,he was very very str ong.he was ten times as strong as an ordinary man,which meant,unlike Winston, Scrapman could pedal fast enough to get the flying machine off the ground.The cows in the meadow stopped munching class when they saw the strange flying machine zooming over them and started moo-ing.The sheep ran in a little frightened woolly bunch to the far end of their field,baaa-ing to each other.The crows left the telegraph wires and flew in a noisy flock around the machine.‘Hip-hop-haroo,’shouted Scrapman. And Scrapcat pok ed his head out of the back seat and went:’Honk,honk.’Which made Scrapman jump so hard he swerved the plane so that it turned in a great circle and flew back across the scrap-yard.Chapter4Winston woke up to a strange noise. It sound as if a zoo had been let loose in the fields behind the scrap-yard .He went out in his pyjamas to see what the matter was.That’s when the incredible flying machine zoomed overhead.Winston rubbed his eyes, he scratched his head, his mouth fell open. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.There was the incredible flying machine. And it was up in the air. And-no-yes-that was Scrapman flying it.‘Come down,Scrapman!’shouted W inston and he waved his arms. But Scrapman couldn’t hear hi m.He just pedalled harder and the flying machine went faster.Emma was cleaning her teeth in the bathroom when the incredible flying machine went past her window. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Surely that couldn’t be Scrapman flying it? She dropped her toothbrush and ran out into the garden.‘Come down,Scrapman !’she shouted.And patch,who had seen Scrapcat in the back seat,would hi mself around her legs and miaowed loudly—cats don’t fly.Scrapman felt very proud when he saw Emma waving at him and pedalled faster still. And the flying machine rose higher. So Emma ran down the lane to Winston’s scrap-yard and Patch ran along behind her.When she got there,she found a worried crowd of people gathered round Winston.‘What are going to do?’ asked Emma.‘I don’t know,’said Winston.That’s when the police arrived. The chief policeman took his notebook out of his pocket and said,’You’ll have to get him down. We can’t have flying machines buzzing around the sky.It’s not safe.’‘But how?’ said Winston.’He’s too high up to hear me.’Thar’s when someone thought of calling the fire-engine.When the firemen came they stretched their ladder to its full length and Winston climbed up to the top.Next time Scrapman came round, Winston waved his arms and shouted, ‘Come down,Scrapman!’Scrapman heard hin this time.‘Od ear,’he said.You see,he knew how to get the flying machine up. But didn’t know how to get it down.Chapter 5Scrapman stared to panic,so he pedalled even faster.Now he was going so fast he was afarid he would hit something. He made wider and wider circles round the church and then he headed out into the open country.‘We must follow him,’said the chief policeman and he got back into his car.Winston and Emma and Patch jumped into Winston’s van and f ollowed the police car.The firemen got into the fire-engine and followed the van,and most of the people who had gathered to see what was going on,followed them.The police car went first with its blue light flashing and its siren blaring and the procession of cars followed. Off they went through the winding country lanes.They had to go very fast indeed to keep up with the flying machine.Od ear’od ear,’said Scrapman when he saw the police car and the fire-engine and all the cars chasing after him. He pedalled even faster.The flying machine led the procession miles out into the country and then it led them all the way back again.Emma looked out of the van window.‘Poor Scrapman,’she said. ‘he looks scared.I don’t think he knows how to come down.’‘But it’s simple,’said Winston.’He only has to slow down and the ma chine will come down.All he needs is a big open field to land in.’They were just driving up to Emma’s school playing field,There was a mowing machine in it and it had just started noisil y to mow the grass.‘Stop!’ shouted Emma.She ‘d had an idea.Winston screeched to a halt and Emma ran over to the man on the big noisy mowing machine.Winston didn’t know what was going on.He could see Scrapman up in the sky.The flying machine was coming closer and closer.He could see Emma waving her arms.Scrapman didn’t down immediately.He had to circle the field three times before the flying machine was low enough and slow enough to land.Everyone held their breath as it came to earth with a bump and a jolt-and then skidded to a halt.Emma ran across and out her arms around Scrapman, which was difficult because she only came up to his knees Scrapcat jumped out and Patch came over and licked his face in a friendly kind of way.Winston stood with his hands on his hips.Scrapman hung his head and waited to hear what Winston was going to say.Scrapman thought Winston was going to be very angry indeed.‘Well ,well,well,’said Winston.’I didn’t think the flying machine could ever get off the ground.’‘I dun no how it ever got down,’ said Scrapman.Then Winston slapped him on the back.’Well done,my old lad.So who taught you to read?’he asked.‘M.R.,’said Scrapman.‘In that case,’ said Winston,’I think Emma should be the very first person to go up with you in the flying machine.Just once,mind.Very carefully,round the church and back again.So Scrapman and Scrapcat and Patch and Emma climbed into the flying machine and Scrapman flew them in a perfect circle round the village.8-18 Scrapman and the Incredible Flying Machine废铁人与神奇飞行器第一章废铁人是一个机械人,他和Winston 一起居住,他拥有一个废弃物品场。

17Chapter1Danny MacDonald lived for football.He played it, watched it, talked and dreamed about it. It was his best lesson at school and his favourite game at break. At home lie kicked a football around the garden, and at the park he got together with his friends for a kickabout.You want to know if he was any good at football?He wasn’t brilliant, but he wasn’t bad. Sometimes he was on the school under-twelves team, and sometimes he wasn’t.When he was, he pretended he was playing for Lowgate United.Danny had the Lowgate home strip and the away strip. He also had the scarf, the pyjamas, the duvet cover, the notebook, the socks, and four walls full of posters .His favourite poster, on his bedroom door, was a shot of Keith Connolly belting in a winnerK eith Connolly was Lowgate’s captain and their star striker. When he joined them, they shot into the Premier League. He could make stunning goals out of nothing. He could whack a ball into the net with his left foot from inside his own half.Chapter 2One day in January, after school, Danny hurried through his homework. He wanted to watch TV. Keith Connolly was doing an interview on the local news programme.Danny hoped that the television wouldn't go fuzzy or lose the sound when Keith Connolly was talking. It was an old set, and it did things like that.It buzzed and flickered a bit, but at last Keith Connolly's smiling face appeared on the screen.‘What I really like about playing for Lowgate,’he said, ‘is the fans. They’re the best. They always turn out fo r us. It’s fantastic running on to the pitch to all that cheering and chanting.’Danny wished he could be in that crowd at Jam Street, the Lowgate ground, but the price of a single ticket was way above anything he could afford.There was no chance of the whole family going, or even just Danny and Gareth, his little brother.‘You won again on Saturday,’said the reporter. ‘Did the team go out to celebrate?’‘We went for a meal together,’ said Keith Connolly, ‘but I have to be careful about what I eat, because I want to stay fit. I love doughnuts…’Then the sound went fuzzy, and Danny jumped up and thumped the topof the set to make it come on again. He hadn't missed much. But he had missed something important.Keith Connol ly had been saying, ‘…but I’m not allowed to eat doughnuts.’Danny hadn’t heard that hit. All he heard was Keith Connolly loved doughnuts. And at the end of Danny’s street was a bakery. It sold the biggest, stickiest, jammiest gooey doughnuts ever made.Chapter 3When Danny went to bed, he lay wide-awake under his Lowgate duvet, making plans. He had to find a way of getting those doughnuts to Keith Connolly.In his house on the other side of the city, Keith Connolly waslying awake, too, under his Lowgate duvet. He was thinking of doughnuts. He wasn’t happy.He wished he hadn’t said anything on TV about doughnuts.Now,however hard he tried, stop thinking about them . Enormous gooey, sticky doughnuts, oozing with strawberry jam.But you can’t be a stop striker and eat doughnuts.The team lived on chicken, fish, vegetables, pasta, and fresh fruit. Doughnuts were made of all the things they mustn’t eat –He groaned, pulled the duvet over his head, and tried to sleep.Danny knew that doughnuts had to be eaten fresh. You can’t send them in the post.If he was going to get doughnuts to Keith Connolly,he would have to deliver them.He’d meet Keith Connolly face to face!He didn’t knew where Keith Connollylived,so he could’t take them to his house. And nobody was allowednear the team at training sessions.He’d have to go to ground on a match day, get to players’ dressing room,and hand them to Keith Connolly himself. He wasn’t going to leave them with a security guard .He might forget about them,or scoff them with his coffee.There were two problems.Firstly,to get into the ground,he’d need a match ticket.He addedit all up.If he used his Christmes money, saved his pocket money,and got paid for washing the car and walking next door’s Great Dane, h e could raise enough for a ticket.Hewould also have enough for the bus fare,and the doughnuts.The second was harder.Getting inside the players’ changing room at Jam Street was like breaking into a rock.There were security guards, and a dog that looked like its mother was a wolf and its father was a dinosaur. Danny would have to work out how to get past that lot.There was plenty of time . It would take weeks to save the money,so Doughnut Day would be some time in March or April.Chapter4Keith Connolly went to training every day, trying hard not to think about doughnuts.The more he tried, the more he thought about them.He couldn’t concentrate on training .He wondered what warm doughnuts with ice cream would be like .The very thought made him miss an easy header.The manager, Big Brian the Boss,noticed it. ‘Twenty press-ups, Connolly!’ he roared.But he had to roar it twice,because Keith was still thinking about warm doughnutsThe next Saturday afternoon,Danny settled down to watch the Lowgate match on television.It was terrible.He watched helplessly as Keith Connolly missed an easy penalty the post,and fell over his own feet.Low gate lost 3—0.For the rest of the season, Low gate went from bad to worse.Kelth lost pace and failed to score, Every pass sailed by him.Big Brian the Boss couldn’t understand what was wrong with Keith.He asked him time and time again, but Keith, wouldn’t tell.He couldn’t say,’The truth is,boss,I’m dying for adoughnut,’He’d feel stupid.Doughnuts followed him into his sleep. He dreamed of scoring in the World Cup by belting a doughnut to the back of the net.In the mornings ,he drove to the jam Street ground the long way round,so he wouldn’t smell the doughnut in the bakery.If he saw the security guards eating doughnuts he had to look away Even the BOSS’s head, which was bald and sun-tanned and oftenglistening with sweat, made him think of a golden brown doughnut sprinkled with sugar.His playing became worse and worse.Lowgate drew one week and lost the next.The fans talked about free transfers. Big Brian the Boss worried about relegation.Everybody at Danny’s school said Keith Connolly should be sold. Danny stuck by his hero.’What he needs is a doughnut,’ he though, as he washed cars and walked the Great Dane.Chapter 5On the morning of 16 March, Danny was up early.He had a ticket for the Low gate game against Sprint United. Sprint were having a brilliant season. Danny’s strip was spread out on the bed and he had bought a packet of dog chews. They might come in useful with the dog at the ground.He was at bakery door before it even opened.There was no point in getting just one doughnut. He bought four, glistening, puffy, jammy doughnutsPackets of four were on special offer. He put them in a sandwich box from the kitchen, so they didn’t get squashed, and so he wouldn’t have to see them all the time. They looked so good.He was too excited to eat much at lunchtime. All he wanted was to get on the next bus to jam Street.He was at the front door,with the box under his arm,when he heard a muffled sniff. He looked round.His little brother,Garerh was sitting halfway down the stairs. He didn’t say anything, but he rubbed his eyes quickly.‘What’s the matter?,kid?’said Danny.But he knew.‘Want to come,’said Gareth.Danny felt really bad.’Look,when you’re a bit older we’ll go to matches together.’He wished he could take Gareth with him.He thought of the doughnuts in the box.Four of them.Keith Connolly wouldn’t want four,would he?‘How about a doughnut?’he said,and he left Gareth,jammy and a bit comforted, sitting on the stairs eating a doughnut.Chapter6At the ground, Danny found his place. He had chosen a spot near to the exit,so that he could nip out at half time.He had the dog chews ready to bribe the guard dog.He’d have to dodge the security guards somehow.The cheering and chanting began,and the stamping and waving.Danny had to stand on tiptoe to see,but he was part of it.He clapped and shouted as the teams ran on to the pitch.Then the whistle blew and they kicked off.After that,he thought he’d rather not watch.Keith Connolly wasn’t playing.He was on the substitutes’ bench.After all his efforts,for all those weeks,he wouldn’t even see Keith Connolly p lay.If he’d been younger he might have cried.‘Subs’bench is the best place for Connolly,’said a man near Danny.’Then should sell him.’‘They should give him away,’said somebody else.’Free,in a packet of cornflakes.’Everyone laughed except Danny.Lowgate were playing two other strikers. Their names were Steve Hackett and Jim Mackay,but everyone called them Hack and Mack.They did their best,but it wasn’t working.Hack and Connolly were a good combination. Mack and Connolly were a killing combination.But Hack and Mack together just couldn’t get it right,and Sprint United were on top form.Danny winced as the first goal rocketed into the Lowgate net.When the second one floated into the top corner, he shut his eyes.When he opened them again,Keith Co nnolly was slipping away down the players’ tunnel.Chapter 7This was his chance.With the box of doughnuts under his arm,Danny bolted for the exit.He ran round the back of the players’ changing room.He ducked behind a dustbin. Two security guards stood on duty atthe door.Both of them looked big enough to stop a tank with one hand.One was listening to a radio,and the other was filling in the crossword in his newspaper.Between them lay The Dog.Call that a dog?Even lying down,it looked half as tall as Danny.It started at the dustbin, and stood up, snarling.‘Shut up,Vinny,’said one of the guards. ‘I’m listening to the match.’Danny took a dog chew from his pocket and dropped to his knees.He held out the chew.He took care not to look The Dog in the eyes.‘Good boy,’ he whispered. ‘Good lad, Vinny.Vinny was big, but he wasn’t really much of a guard dog. Hetrotted up to Danny. Then he sniffed the chew, decided he didn’t likeit, and growled again.Danny tried a chocolate flavoured one. Vinny still wasn’t interested.There were three doughnuts in the box. Keith Connolly wouldn’t eat three, would he? If Danny couldn’t get past this dog, he wouldn’t get any at all.Danny opened the box. Vinny sat down with his head on one side andhis tail wagging.When Danny put a doughnut in front of him, he took it lovingly between his forepaws. He settled down to lick off the sugar.The guards hadn’t even looked up. Danny threw his empty Coke canas hard as he could, and as it clanged and clattered the guards sprangto their feet. So did Danny.‘He went that way!’ he yelled, pointing. ‘And the other onewent – um –that way!’The guards raced in opposite directions.Danny dashed for thechanging room, and found himself in the corridor lined with closed doors.Just as he wondered which one to try, he heard the sound of afootie boot hitting the wall.He opened the door quietly, just a bit, and looked in. Keith Connolly flung his second boot against the wall.Then he slumped down on the bench with his head in his hands.For the first time,Danny felt shy,In front of him was a miserable, failed footballer.But he was still the great Keith Connolly.‘Excuse me,’ he said.Keith Connolly looked up.He didn’t seem surprised to see a stranger in the dres sing room.He didn’t even seem to care.‘Excuse me,Mr Connolly-er,sir,-er,Keith,’he saidawkwardly.’I’ve brought you some doughnuts.’8‘Doughnuts!You brought me doughnuts!’Keith Connolly stared so wildly that Danny couldn’t tell if he was furious, or just amazed.‘You said you like them,’he faltered.’ On television,you said you like them.So I’ve brought you some.’Keith Connolly went on staring as if Danny were a blue,three-headed monster.Then Keith laughed.’For three months,I’ve not had a single doughnut, so I’d stay fit.Then, d’you know what the Boss said to me just now?He said he doesn’t want me for next seaon.He’s putting me on the transfer list.So it won’t matter now if I eat doughnuts,willit?That’s very kind of you, son.What’s your name?’‘Danny,’He opened the box.Those doughnuts looked bigger,stickier and jammier than ever.Keith Connolly gazed at them as if he’d fallen in love.‘You choose first,Danny,’he said.‘No,they’re both for you,’said Danny with a great effort.He wished he’ d eaten more at lunchtime. ‘ I’m sorry there’s onlytwo.There should be four. But I gave one to my little brother,and one to the guard dog to keep him quiet.’Keith Connolly laughed again..‘Just as well,’he said,’I can’t eat more than one at a go. I’ l l eat one if you eat the other,right?’So Danny sat down beside Keith Connolly and they each bit into a doughnut.Keith Connolly closed his eyes,and a blissful smile spread over his face.Then neither of them said anything, except ‘Wow!’until they were licking jam and sugar from their fingers.Keith told Danny how much he had longed for a doughnut. Danny told Keith all about his family and playing footie at school. They were still talking, when the team came in.9‘Two rotten nil!’yelled Hack, bang ing the door.‘You’re useless!’shouted Mack.’Who’s that kid,and what’s the dog doing in here?’Vinny had followed them,looking for Danny.He was hoping to get another doughnut.Danny and the dogwere sent out.What Brian had to say to the team wasn’t fi t forthem to hear.They sat outside and Danny gave Vinny the doughnut box to lick.Then the team ran out for the second half.Danny had never seen a man so changed as Keith Connolly.He lookedon fire with energy.‘I hope they bring you on,’said Danny.’I’ll have to get back to my place now.’‘There’s room on the bench,’said Keith.’You can sit by me.’‘Oh,wow!’said Danny.Then everything started to happen.They security guards had been racing all over the stadium.At that moment they both ran in from different directions and walloped into Mack.Vinny thought he should do something on to the pitch,and trippedhim up.The two guards and two players lay rolling and shouting on the ground.Vinny trotted away and away and ate the doughnut box.‘Anyone hurt?’gasped Brian the Boss.‘I’m all right.I landed on him,’said one guard.‘Ouch,’said the other.‘I’ve broken my leg,’wailed Hack.Hack’s leg wasn’t broken at all,but he wasn’t fit to play.Mack hobbled about and said he could manage. ‘I suppose I’ll just have to play you,Keith,’ muttered the Boss.Keith ran onto the pitch with such a great smile,that everyone wondered what had happened tohim.Danny,sitting on the bench,was the only one who knew.10People still talk about the way Keith played that day,Every touch on the ball was a winner.The penalty kick was magic.The run past three defenders was stunning. And the goal that hit the top corner stuck so fast,they had to knock it out with the corner flag.Thirty seconds before the final whistle, one more impossible goal soared in from his left foot.Keith was carried shoulder-high from the pitch.‘Where’s Danny?’he shouted,as they disappeared down thetunnel.Danny ran behind them to the changing room.Then Brian the Boss appeared.The team put Keith down.The Boss took Danny’s collar in one hand and Keith’s in the other as he marched them to his office.‘Now tell me,’he said.’What’s going on?’So they told him.‘Well,if doughnuts make you play like that,you must havethem,’said the Boss.’As long as you don’t eat too many. Say, two a week? I’ll write it into your contract.’‘What contract? You said you were sacking me,’ said Keith.‘Don’t talk so daft.’ The Boss glared at Keith.’ You’re mystar player.’‘They have to be doughnuts from the bakery near Danny’shouse,’said Keith,smiling.‘And I want two free season tickets,every season,for Danny and his brother.Better make it four,so they can bring their mum and dad. Or a couple of their mates. In the Director’s Box,if that’s what th ey want .‘Is there anything else you’d like?’said the Boss.‘Yes,’said Keith.’The Cup.’Did they win the Cup?Of course they did.Keith was on top form,and Danny and Gareth cheered them on .The bakery won the Doughnut of the Year Award.It has queues around the corner, every Saturday morning.But Danny and Keith don’t have toqueue.Their doughnuts are delivered to their homes.Keith saw to that.By the way,after Keith scored four goals in that match against Sprint, he was given the match ball to keep. And I don’t need to tell you who he gave it to.。

典范英语8第18本内容概括

典范英语8第18本内容概括Well, this story's about a group of kids who stumbled upon an old map in the school library. It was dusty and yellowed, but the mystery it held was irresistible. They decided to explore the place marked on the map an abandoned castle in the woods.One sunny afternoon, they packed their bags with snacks and adventure gear. The castle stood tall and gloomy, surrounded by tall trees and tangled vines. As they crept through the crumbling entrance, the sound of their voices echoed eerily in the silence.Deep inside, they found a hidden room. It was filled with ancient books and a dusty old trunk. They carefully opened the trunk and discovered a set of armor, a sword, and a scroll with an ancient message. It seemed like the castle had belonged to a knight long ago.The kids were fascinated. They decided to play a game,pretending to be the knight and his squires, defending the castle from imaginary foes. They even created their own stories and adventures within the castle walls.But as the sun started to set, they realized they had to leave. They carefully put everything back and said goodbye to their newfound adventureland. As they walked back to the village, they talked excitedly about what they had found and how they would remember this day forever.And that's the story a simple tale of curiosity, adventure, and the joy of discovery. It's a reminder that sometimes, the greatest adventures are the ones we create for ourselves.。

典范英语8书目In the realm of English literature, there exists a collection of books known as the "Exemplary English 8". These works are not only celebrated for their literary prowess but also for the profound impact they have had on readers across generations. Each book within this compilation holds its own unique power to captivate, enlighten, and provoke thought. Let us embark on a journey through these literary treasures, exploring their themes, characters, and enduring relevance.First on our list is George Orwell's "1984". Set in a dystopian future, this novel offers a chilling portrayal of a totalitarian regime where individuality is suppressed, and truth is manipulated. Through the eyes of protagonist Winston Smith, readers confront the dangers of unchecked government control and the erosion of fundamental freedoms. Orwell's stark warning about the dangers of authoritarianism resonates with audiences to this day, serving as a poignant reminder of the importance of vigilance in safeguarding democracy.Next, we encounter Harper Lee's timeless classic, "To Kill a Mockingbird". Set in the racially charged atmosphere of the American South, Lee's novel explores themes of injustice, empathy, and moral growth. Through the innocent perspective of young Scout Finch, readers confront the harsh realities of prejudice and discrimination. Atticus Finch, Scout's father, emerges as a moral compass, advocating for justice and compassion in the face of bigotry. "To Kill a Mockingbird" remains a powerful testament to the enduring struggle for equality and the capacity for goodness in the human spirit.Moving forward, we delve into the world of J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye". Narrated by the disillusioned teenager Holden Caulfield, this novel offers a raw and unfiltered exploration of adolescence, alienation, and the search for authenticity. Holden's cynical yet vulnerable voice resonates with readers as he grapples with the hypocrisy and phoniness of the adult world. Through his journey of self-discovery, Holden confronts the complexities of identity and the fleeting nature of innocence. Salinger's masterpiececontinues to resonate with readers, capturing the universal struggle to find one's place in an often-chaotic world.Our exploration of the Exemplary English 8 would be incomplete without mentioning Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Regarded as one of the earliest works of science fiction, Shelley's novel delves into themes of creation, ambition, and the consequences of playing god. Dr. Victor Frankenstein's reckless pursuit of knowledge leads to the creation of a monstrous being, whose tragic existence serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked scientific ambition. Through the creature's poignant narrative, Shelley prompts readers to question the limits of human hubris and the responsibilities that come with wielding power.As we continue our journey through the Exemplary English 8, we encounter Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights". Set against the rugged backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, this novel is a tale of passion, revenge, and the destructive power of obsession. The intense love story between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw transcends time and societal norms, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. Brontë's haunting prose and vivid imagery evoke the wild beauty of the landscape, mirroring the tumultuous emotions of her characters. "Wuthering Heights" stands as a testament to the enduring allure of forbidden love and the destructive force of unbridled desire.Continuing our exploration, we come to F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". Set in the opulent world of 1920s America, this novel offers a scathing critique of the American Dream and the pursuit of wealth and status. Through the enigmatic figure of Jay Gatsby, Fitzgerald exposes the emptiness and moral decay lurking beneath the façade of prosperity. The tragic love story between Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan serves as a microcosm of the hollow pursuits that characterize the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald's lyrical prose and keen social commentary paint a vivid portrait of a society intoxicated by excess and disillusionment.Next, we encounter Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre". A timeless tale of love, independence, and self-discovery, this novel follows the journey of its eponymous heroine as she navigates the challenges of Victorian society. From her tumultuousupbringing at the hands of her cruel aunt and cousins to her transformative experiences at Thornfield Hall, Jane's resilience and integrity shine through. The romance between Jane and the brooding Mr. Rochester defies conventions, highlighting the importance of equality and mutual respect in relationships. Brontë's richly drawn characters and impassioned prose continue to resonate with readers, inspiring generations with Jane's unwavering spirit.Finally, we conclude our journey with Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations". A sweeping tale of ambition, identity, and redemption, this novel follows the journey of young Pip as he navigates the complexities of Victorian society. From his humble beginnings as an orphaned blacksmith's apprentice to his unexpected rise to gentleman status, Pip grapples with the moral implications of his newfound wealth and privilege. Along the way, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, including the enigmatic Miss Havisham and the convict Magwitch, whose fates intertwine with his own in unexpected ways. Dickens' masterful storytelling and vivid depiction of Victorian England make "Great Expectations" a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers of all ages.In conclusion, the Exemplary English 8 represents a diverse array of literary masterpieces that have stood the test of time. From dystopian futures to Victorian romances, these novels offer profound insights into the human condition and the complexities of the world we inhabit. Through their enduring themes, richly drawn characters, and powerful storytelling, these works continue to inspire and provoke thought, cementing their place as timeless classics of English literature.。

典范英语8THE BIG CHANCE大好时机一‘Drink your tea’Ray Martin, the new boss of Smalltown Football Club, was very happy. It was almost half-time and his team were winning 1-0.Ray raced down to the changing room to talk to the team. Eleven cups of tea were waiting for the players.The team jogged in, looking tired but happy.‘Well done, lads,’ smiled Ray.‘You must be thirsty. Drink your tea while it`s hot.’‘In a minute, boss,’ said Steve the captain.Then Ray noticed one player after another taking their cups of tea into the shower room. When they came back the cups were empty.‘That`s funny,’ thought Ray. ‘Drinking tea in the shower.’Steve the captain picked up his cup. Ray followed him. In the shower room Steve was pouring his tea down the sink.‘What`s going on? ’said Ray.Steve leaped in the air and dropped his cup. The sound of the smashing cup brought the other players running.‘It was his fault,’ sobbed Steve. ‘He made me jump.’‘What shall we do?’ moaned Nick the goalkeeper. ‘Maybe we can glue it,’ said Steve. ‘Will somebody tell me what`s going on?’ said Ray. ‘Why are you all tipping your tea down the sink?’Nobody spoke. ‘Well?’‘Because it`s not very nice.’‘Why all the fuss about a broken cup?’‘Hilda,’ whispered somebody. ‘Who is this Hilda?’‘She makes the tea,’ hissed Nick.‘Then I shall go and tell her that the tea is not very nice.’‘Ssh,’hissed the team. ‘She will hear you.’‘She certainly will hear me,’said Ray. ‘Oh dear,’ said Nick.‘Fancy,’ said Ray. ‘A bunch of men, scared of a little old tea lady.’‘Er,’ said one player. ‘She`s not little.’‘She`s not that old,’ said another.‘And we`re not scared of her,’ said Steve. ‘We`re terrified.’‘That`s enough,’ said Ray. ‘Where will I find this Hilda?’‘At the tea stand,’said Nick. Ray strode towards the door. ‘Good luck,’ said someone. 二Ray meets HildaThe tea stand was an old caravan. Ray joined a quiet queue of fans. ‘I’d like one cup of tea please, with a dash of milk and no sugar, ’said a big man.‘You’ll get it how I make it and you’ll like it, ’boomed a voice from inside the caravan.The next man in the queue already had a cup of tea. ‘Excuse me, ’he said politely.‘Yes, ’boomed the voice.‘I’m sorry to bother you, ’continued the man. ’But this tea is not very nice.’‘What did you say?’The caravan began to tremble. The caravan rocked and shook. There was a great bang and the door flew off its hinges.There in the hole where the door had been stood Hilda. She wore a green skirt ,an apron, red boots and a jumper that said,‘Smalltown F.C.’‘Hilda, ’gasped Ray.Hilda stepped down from the caravan ,rolling up her sleeves.; She strode over to the man.‘Do you know what I do with great moaning minnies who come complaining about my tea?’‘I-I don’t know, ’stammered the man. ‘I do this, ’said Hilda.Hilda grabbed the man and threw him over her shoulder. She marched down towards the pitch.‘Help!’ cried the man. Hilda strode into the goal area.She lifted the man over her head and sat him on the cross bar. ‘Get me down, ’yelled the man. Hilda marched back to her tea stand.‘What are you looking at?’ she said to one supporter. ‘Nothing.’‘Is that cup on the floor yours?’‘I- er. ’‘Put it in the bin.’Hilda climbed back into the caravan.‘ Right ,’said Hilda. ‘Any more complaints?’‘I think I’ll talk to Hilda after the game, ’said Ray to himself. A group of fans helped the man down from the goalpost.‘Excuse me, ’Ray asked them. ‘But if the tea is so horrible, Why do you buy it?’One of the fans looked up towards the tea stand.‘ It’s OK, ’he said.‘ She’s looking the other way.’‘If you don’t buy a cup of tea, ’whispered another, ‘She comes out and makes you drink two cups.’‘So, ’said another, ‘it’s safer to buy a cup and tip it away.’Ray looked around. All over the terraces were puddles of tea. ‘She’ll have to go, ’said Ray to himself.Ray walked back to the changing room. The players had just left to start the second half . Instead of watching the game, Ray paced up and down. The game ended in a 3-1 win for Smalltown F.C.As the players trotted into the changing room, Ray patted them on the back.‘Right , ’he said bravely. ‘I’m off to see Hilda.’The players crowded into the shower room. Nick, the goalkeeper ,climbed up on Steve’s shoulders. He looked out of the window.‘What’s going on?’asked the others. ‘He’s reached the tea stand.’‘Yes.’‘He’s talking to Hilda. Oh no! He’s on his way back.’The players raced out of the shower room, leaving Nick hanging onto the window ledge.‘Oi , lads, ’yelled Nick. ‘Get me down!’The changing room door opened. In staggered Ray, with a tea urn rammed on his head.‘You told her, then, ’said Steve, as he pulled the urn off.The changing room door flew open and Hilda marched in.‘ Where do you think you are going with my tea urn?’Just then there was a terrific crash from the shower room.。

-----典范英语 8-18Scrapman and the Incredible Flying Machine废铁人与神奇飞行器第一章废铁人是一个机械人,他和 Winston 一起居住,他拥有一个废弃物品场。

废铁人是用零碎部件做成的,是 Winston 从破旧机器上拆下来的。

他的大脑是用一个电子记事簿做成的,因为它老是出故障,有人扔掉了。

障,但是现在废铁人因它出故障。

它仍在出故“ oh,亲爱的,”废铁人说。

Winston工作的得很晚了。

太晚了,他在棚屋用煤气炉加热他的晚餐。

废铁人给他打开一听罐头烤豆,至少他认为它是一听罐头烤豆。

“很好的烤豆,”废铁人说。

“我不吃那个,” Winston说,声音有气无力地。

“你能读出标签上的说明吗?废铁人晃着头,他不擅长阅读,他只能读出他的名字和一点儿非常简单的单词,不了猫罐头上的说明。

但他读废铁猫正在工作台下看着。

他不吃任何猫食,因为他是一个机械猫,他靠电池工作,不是猫食。

废铁人走过去坐在角落里,他感到非常难过,他希望他能像Emma一样阅读。

是他特殊的朋友。

她在教他像人类一样交谈。

她有一本关于机器人奇妙故事的图画书。

他一样的机器人,但他们能做神奇的事情。

Emma 有像他们能驾驶火箭,在月球上行走,从火灾、洪水、地震中救人。

废铁人喜欢看那些图片,但他不得不等待直到 Emma 过来讲故事的内容。

废铁猫看到废铁人难过,于是他走过来坐在他旁边。

Winston 打开一听正儿八百的烤豆,他把那听猫食放进垃圾筒里。

趁他不注意的时候,废铁人把它取出来。

他拿出它是为了款待派奇的。

派奇是艾玛的猫。

当艾玛上学时,它喜欢来和废铁猫玩儿。

当温斯顿和废铁人忙碌时,它从窗户爬进来。

然后,它给废铁猫展示怎么做一些对猫来说有用的事情,像追逐线绳和工作台下藏着的东西。

现在,你可能奇怪温斯顿和废铁人为什么那么忙。

他们正在为温斯顿不可思义的发明而昼夜不停地工作。

它是一个不需要汽油就可以飞行的神奇的飞行器,它像自行车一样靠踏板驱动。

就快完工了,还有一些螺母螺钉需要装上,就可以试飞了。

但是,最后一些螺母和螺丝去哪儿了?第二章最后,首次试飞的日子来临了,温斯顿清理出一条跑道通过废品场。

跑道通向一块空地,再往前,有另一块空地,因此,有大量空间供起飞用。

那天早晨,温斯顿脱下一只袜子,悬挂在一根杆子上测试风向。

是东风,平稳有力,刚好适合测试飞行。

艾玛带着帕奇早早到了,她带来了一顿特殊的野餐和一大瓶柠檬汽水准备试飞后庆祝一下,她发现温斯顿和废铁人在机器下忙碌着,进行最后一刻检查。

废铁猫从废铁翻板门洞跑进跑出,报告最新的天气情况。

早晨十点,温斯顿说一切准备就续。

天空高处就要起风了,于是他在他的工装外面披了一件毛里子厚夹克,戴上他特殊的风镜防止风吹到眼睛。

“打开门,”他骄傲地对废铁人说,“往后站远点儿,”他对艾玛和帕奇说。

接着,温斯顿和废铁人非常小心地推动飞行器来到空地上。

一小群人聚在外面,人们听说了飞行器,他们赶来看它首次飞行,分享激动的时刻。

温斯顿举起一只手示意大家安静。

“欢迎,”他说,然后他说了一些关于这个“具有历史意义的时刻”的讲话,每个人都鼓起掌,一些人欢呼起来。

一个小男孩挥舞着杆上的袜子,像是一面旗子。

温斯顿爬上飞行器,废铁人跟着他爬。

“停止!”温斯顿说,“你不能跟着我,废铁人,你太大了,机器带着你无法从地面飞起来。

”“欧,天哪,”废铁人说,他爬下来时又大又笨拙。

艾玛走来伸手扶他,让他感觉好下些,废铁猫在他腿上蹭来蹭去。

温斯顿测试了副翼,摇动操纵杆,检测他的镜子,每个部位都正常运转着。

然后,他戴上防风镜,把衣领翻起来,得意洋洋地向人群挥了挥手。

“拿走楔子!”他喊道,艾玛和废铁人从轮子底下挪开砖块。

温斯顿踩下去踏板,飞行器开始向前移动。

他踩下加速踏板,机器加快了速度。

当飞行器飞快地驶过跑道时,人人都屏住了呼吸。

飞行器速度越来越快,温斯顿拼命踩着踏板,满脸通红。

飞行器到达第一块空地,它的确速度非常快了,但它没有起飞。

它仍高速到达第二块空地,直到到达空地的尽头⋯⋯但是它仍没有起飞。

“欧,天哪,”废铁人说。

一个小时后,温斯顿准备再次试飞。

“我需要你的帮助,废铁人,”他说,脱下他暖和的厚夹克,把它递给废铁人,废铁人充满信心的看着,或许这次他有机会坐上这架神奇的飞行器飞上天去。

但是他没那么走运,温斯顿脱下了他的靴子,他的袜子甚至摘掉手表,他要让飞行器更轻便些。

-----“废铁人,这次我需要你到后面去推。

”他说,“飞行器必须足够的快,才能飞离地面。

”废铁人接过温斯顿的厚夹克,靴子,袜子和手表,递给艾玛,把肩膀顶在飞机后面。

“拿走楔子!”温斯顿再次喊道。

这次飞行器非常快速地上路了。

废铁人用尽全力去推,他的腿跑的快得让人几乎看不见它们了,人群兴奋起来,开始鼓掌。

小男孩挥舞着杆上的袜子,当飞行器飞速穿快驶过第一块空地时,人们欢呼起来,接着是第二块空地,它跑的极快,把废铁人甩在了后面。

但是它仍旧没有飞起来。

之后,他把飞行器推回废品场时,人们已经放弃等待回家了。

废铁人和温斯顿把它推回了棚子。

温斯顿看起有一个车轮松动了,温斯顿说机器可能需要好好地打上润滑油它才能飞。

来很沮丧。

艾玛在一块布上摊开晚餐,尽管是非常好的三明治和泡沫丰富的柠檬水,这却不是在庆祝他们一直期待的事情。

废铁人想起了他保存下来款待Patch的那罐食物,每个人都很沮丧,只有Patch很开心。

他一脸担心温斯顿在棚子里花了整个下午为神奇飞行器修理轮子并润滑了每个接合处。

的表情,但他说他不需要任何帮助。

当他工作时没有吹着口哨,似乎有种不详的征兆。

过了一会儿,废铁人问艾玛,她是否可以给他读废铁人和艾玛坐在草坪上觉着无人聊,一个大图画书上的故事。

“废铁人,你要试着去学识字,那么你就可以自己看书了,”艾玛说。

废铁人不喜欢识字,他要去帮温斯顿的忙。

最重要的是,他想要坐上神奇飞行器飞上天空,他感到生气,在他不被允许做任何事时,对于能做所有这些令人难以置信的事情的机器人来说,识字有什么用?“看,废铁人,”艾玛说,指向页面上的一个单词,“R-o-b-o-t,这拼出来是什么?”“我不会,”废铁人不高兴地说。

“机器人,”艾玛说,“你看,这很容易。

”但是它对废铁人来说不容易。

“C-a- t, 艾”玛说,试些更容易的词,废铁猫坐起来竖起它的耳朵,轻轻碰了碰废铁人。

“猫?”废铁人问。

“完全正确,”艾玛说,“现在拼一下 d.o.g怎么样?”“我不知道,”废铁人说,“你读读那个故事,艾玛。

”“废铁人,你连试都不试,”艾玛说,“如果你不试我不会给你读的。

”她起身把晚餐收拾起来,然后抱起派奇回家了。

第三章那天晚上,温斯顿做完了飞行器的工作。

在一块油腻腻的抹布上擦了擦手,叹了一口气说,“废铁人,我的老伙计,它可能永远不会从地面飞起来了,但是它仍然是一架好机器。

”他要回家去好好睡一觉了。

废铁人不睡觉,他坐着翻看图画书,盯着看图片。

他多么热爱历险,就像故事中的机器人一样勇敢。

他用一根手指沿着艾玛读给他的那些词移动。

“ R.o.b.o.t,他拼”读出来,“机器人!”可能它并不是那么难。

他坐着冥思苦想地试着拼读他最喜爱的故事里的单词。

艾玛一遍又遍地给他读,因此,他几乎会背了。

他不能读出所有的单词,但他能读出故事中记得的大部分。

他的头压在打开的页面上,入睡了。

第二天早晨,废铁人醒来,奇怪他在哪儿。

然后,他看了看书,想起来他能阅读了,他为自己感到很自豪,现在没有什么事能难倒他了,他觉着只要他去做。

他站起来,伸了伸懒腰,看了看棚子周围。

神奇飞行器正立在晨光中,阳光正照耀在它新刷的漆上。

这时,废铁人有一个主意。

他要给温斯顿他一生中最大的惊喜。

他不是又大又重又笨拙到无法飞行,他能做不可思议的事情,就像故事中的机器人一样。

他能证明,他要展示给全世界。

于是,废铁人叫醒废铁猫,他们俩开始工作了。

非常安静,他们打开棚子的门,把神奇飞行器推到院子里。

那天早晨天气晴朗,鸟儿在电报线上唱歌。

温斯顿的袜子在微风中飘动,显示出风吹过来的方向正好。

废铁猫已“非常好,”废铁人说,他走回棚子,他披上温斯顿的棉夹克,返回飞行器。

经跳进后座,正在期待地等候。

“下去,废铁猫,”废铁人说,“猫不能飞,”他让废铁猫跳下去,在地面上等着。

废铁人试着去想温斯顿做的每件事,他轻摇着副翼,摇动操纵杆,检测他的镜子,然后,他探身出去,向废铁猫使劲一挥手。

“拿走楔子!”他大喊着,废铁猫从轮子下推开了砖块。

废铁人开始踩踏板。

飞行器在跑道上飞驰起来。

废铁猫在后紧追,用力一跃,它跳进废铁人后面。

-----废铁人没注意到,他正在尽全力踩踏板。

飞行器越来越快,废铁人的腿像活塞一样转动着,这也没什么好奇怪的,因为他的腿本身就是活塞。

接着,在他们到达第一块空地速度太快了甚至看不到他们,他们如同一个模糊的影子,时,飞行器开始轻轻地升起,离开了地面。

废铁人再次努力踩踏废铁人惊讶极了,他停止踩踏板,机器敦了一下落到地上。

于是,板,果不其然,飞行器升入了空中。

它升起来的高度刚刚好擦过第二块空地尽头的树篱。

它看起来如此神奇—他们在空中!他比但是它并不是真正的神奇,因为,尽管废铁人没有一个好大脑,他非常非常强壮。

普通人强壮十倍,这就是说,不像温斯顿,废铁人能够踩踏的快到足以使飞行器离开地面。

草地上的奶牛们当看到奇怪的飞行器唰地一下飞过头顶,停止嚼草,开始哞哞地叫。

绵羊因受到惊吓而跑到远远的田头挤成一个小毛团,此起彼伏咩咩直叫。

乌鸦飞离电线,在飞行器四周叽叽喳喳地成群地飞。

“嘻哈,好啊!”废铁人喊着,废铁猫从后座伸出他的头发出“嘀嘀”的声音。

吓了废铁人一大跳,废铁人突然转向,飞机转了一个大圈,调头飞过废品场。

第四章温斯顿被一种奇怪的噪声吵醒了,它听起来好像动物园里的动物被放出来了,在废品场后面的空地,他穿着睡衣跑出来看出了什么事。

这时神奇飞行器唰地一下飞过头顶。

是神奇飞行器,温斯顿揉了揉眼睛,挠了挠头,目瞪口呆。

他不敢相信他所看到的。

在空中飞,还有-不 -是的 -是废铁人在驾驶它。

“下来,废铁人!”温斯顿挥舞着胳膊大喊,但是废铁人听不到,他在更加用力地踩着踏板,飞机飞得更快了。

当艾玛正在浴室涮牙时,神奇飞行飞过她的窗户,她无法相信她的眼睛,无法确定那是废铁人在驾驶着,她扔掉牙刷,跑到花园里。

“下来,废铁人!”她大喊,还有派奇看见废铁猫在后座,它紧紧抱住她的腿,大声地喵喵叫—猫不能飞。

废铁人感到很自豪,当他看见艾玛在向他挥手,依旧快速踩着踏板,飞行器升得更高了。

于是,艾玛顺着小巷跑到温斯顿的废品场,派奇在后面跟着跑。

当她到那儿时,她发现一群担忧着的人群围在温斯顿的周围。

“我们该做些什么?”艾玛问。

“我不知道,”温斯顿说。

“你必须让他下来,我们不允许不一会儿,警察到了,警察长从口袋里拿出笔记本说,有飞行器在天上嗡嗡地飞,很不安全。

”“现在?”温斯顿说,“他太高了听不到我说话。
