Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn"t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）． I was quite wrong. The man wouldn"t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"
He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"
“Twenty pounds," I said.
“OK," he said, "I"ll give you twenty pounds."
“It"s got a slightly broken leg," I said.
‘"Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing."
Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.
“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."
“I"ll buy it," I said.
“What do you mean? You"ve just sold it to me," he said.
"Yes, I know but I"ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I"ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."
“You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."
“You"re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, "Would you repair this chair for me?""
“I wouldn"t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don"t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I"II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

John has a pet dog named Sunlight. He loves him very much. He ever told others that Sunlight was one of his family members.
One midnight, John’s house was on fire suddenly. John was sleeping and didn’t know what was happening. At that time, Sunlight noticed the fire and woke up John. John called the police. Soon the fire was put out by the police.
Now John often says to others, “ The dog is really my good friend. In the thick smoke and big fire, he could have run out of the house first, but he didn’t. No matter how dangerous it is, he first thinks of his owner.”
Today more and more dogs are wandering ( 流浪 ) in the street. Many people don’t want to keep their dogs because they move to another place. Even some people say that they can’t stand the dogs’ dirtiness. Animals are one part of our society. Maybe our pets will give us a hand like Sunlight someday.

While Nick was on the bus reading his newspaper, the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large envelope（信封）into his hands. "Here, take this!" the man said, stood up and got off the bus before Nick could say a word.
Nick sat there, holding the envelope. It felt heavy. There was paper inside, or money perhaps. "I"d better hand it over to the police," he thought. There was a police station close to his office. But, as he got off the bus, a man came to him. He seemed to be waiting for something. "He wants the envelope," Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly, and the man hurried after him. Nick managed to lose the man in the crowd（人群）．When he entered the police station, the man was no longer in sight.
Inside the police station, Nick handed over the envelope to the policeman who was on duty. The man opened it. The envelope was full of money, false（假的）money.“Clearly the man made a mistake," the policeman said. "He thought you were one of the gang（团伙）!”
“However," the policeman went on. "I"m afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this. We are trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we don"t want them to know that we have some of the money. So you mustn"t say a word to anyone-not even to your boss!"
