This happened in London. It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold. He coughed day and night, so he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As he did not know much English, he took out his dictionary and looked up the word “cough”. But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce(发音) the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word “plough”. He remembered that it was pronounced[plau]. So he thought that c-o-u-g-h must be pronounced [kau].

Then he put on his coat and hat and went to a chemist's shop(药店).When the man in the shop asked him what he wanted, the Frenchman said, “I want something for my‘cow’ , please.” The man in the shop looked at him. Had he heard him correctly?

“I beg your pardon, sir?” he asked.

The Frenchman repeated, “I want some medicine for my‘cow’.”

“For your cow?” asked the man, “are you a farmer?”

“A farmer?” said the Frenchman in surprise, “What makes you think I'm a farmer? I come from Paris. I'm not a farmer.”

“But where is your cow?”

“It's here!” answered the Frenchman. He put his hand on his chest(胸口) and began to cough. “Here it is,”　 he said, “I've a very bad ‘cow’ here.”

Then the man in the shop understood what the Frenchman meant. He wanted some medicine for his cough.

1.The Frenchman said, “I want something for my‘cow’, please.” Here by the word ‘cow’ he meant _______.

A. cow　　　 B. cough　　　 C. medicine　　 D. cold

2.What made the man in the shop think the Frenchman was a farmer?

A. The Frenchman looked like a farmer.

B. The word ‘cough’ was pronounced [kau] by him.

C. The Frenchman said he came from a farm in Paris.

I finally did it! This morning I went bungy jumping!

At first I was scared. The river was so far below. So I stood and watched other people jump from the bridge, about 43 meters above the river. Some looked terrified. Others were laughing and joking. Many of them screamed all the way down to the water.

At last I had the courage to take my turn. The assistants strapped (扎) a harness(全套装备)around my body and a bungy rope around my ankles. I stood on the edge of the platform.

I stopped worrying and dived off the platform.

I dropped down much more quickly than I expected. As I went down, I thought, what if the bungy rope breaks?

Suddenly I came to a stop, and my head dipped in the river. Then I bounced back up into the air. I bounced up and down gently a few more times and then the boat came and some people puled me on board and unstrapped my ankles.

I did it! I jumped off a bridge! I'm so proud of myself.

This sad story happened on a cold winter evening. It was so cold and snow was falling so heavily that the roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. Being outside in such weather was very unwise. However, Peter Lee had to walk home from work. Peter walked with difficulty along a country road, the cold wind beating against his chest. He thought, “If I wear my coat backwards, maybe, it will be a little bit warmer for me.” He stopped walking, took off his coat, and put it on backwards. “That’s much better,” he said to himself happily. Walking on through the thickly falling snow, he was thinking about drinking a cup of warm coffee by the burning fireplace.

A few minutes later, a car knocked down Peter. The driver hadn’t seen him soon enough. When he tried his best to put on the brakes (刹车), the car skidded (打滑) on the icy road. The frightened driver got out of the car and ran to see how the poor man was.

After a while, a police car arrived. A policeman went up to see Mr Lee who was lying on the ground. He told the driver, “I’m afraid he’s dead.”

The driver was so surprised. “This can’t be the case, because I hardly touched him. Check my car carefully. There’s not a mark on it.”

The policeman said, “I’m sure he’s dead.”

“It’s impossible,” the driver said anxiously. “As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying on the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood.”
