    What was Frank's first job?
    Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

    First listen and then answer the question.
      聽錄音,然后回答以下問題。
    Who was the thief?
    People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week!
      New words and expressions 生詞和短語
    once adv. 曾經(jīng),以前
    temptation n. 誘惑
    article n. 物品,東西
    wrap v. 包裹
    simply adv. 僅僅
    arrest v. 逮捕
      參考譯文
    人們不再像以前那樣誠實了。偷竊的誘惑力比以往任何時候都更強烈 -- 特別是在大的商店里。一名偵探近注意上了一位穿著講究的婦女,她總是在星期一上午進入一家大商場。有一個星期一,當這位婦女走進這家商場時,里面的人比往常少,因此,偵探比較容易監(jiān)視她。這位婦女先是買了幾樣小商品。過了一會兒,她又選了商場里昂貴的一件衣服,把它遞給了售貨員。那售貨員以快的速度為她包好了衣服。然后,那婦女拿過包就走出了商場,根本沒有付錢。她被逮捕后。偵探發(fā)現(xiàn)原來那售貨員是她的女兒。那姑娘每星期“送”她母親一件免費的衣服!

    Why was the girl in hospital?
    Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.

    幾乎過了一個星期,那姑娘才能講述自己的遭遇。一天下午,她乘小船從海岸出發(fā),遇上了風(fēng)暴。天將黑時,小船撞在了一塊礁石上,姑娘跳進了海里。她在海里游了整整一夜才游到岸邊。在那段時間里,她游了8英里。第二天凌晨,她看到前方有燈光,知道自己已經(jīng)接近岸邊了,因為那燈光是在高高的峭壁上。到達岸邊后,姑娘朝著她看到的燈光方向掙扎著往峭壁上爬去。她所記得的就是這些。第二天她醒來時,發(fā)現(xiàn)自己躺在醫(yī)院里。
