can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to
ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."
"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn"t remember this, he wrote these words down
on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every
now and then.
Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come
and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.
The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door
and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of
paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more." The man
was very surprised. He asked, "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?" "Burnt
yesterday evening."

is bigger than your dad"s." and "My mum is smarter than yours."
There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin. They were always boasting (自吹自擂). Gavin
was the worst. Everything in his home was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.
One day when they were walking to school, Harry said, "My father has a bath twice a week." Ted
spoke next, "That"s nothing. Having a bath twice a week means your father is dirty. My father has a bath
every day, sometimes twice a day."
Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say? He couldn"t say that his father had
a bath three times a day. He walked in silence. Ted smiled to Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were
sure that for once they had won.
They reached the school gate. Still Gavin said nothing.

was Sun. It is spelt S-U-N, just the same as the English word "sun", the sun in the sky.
England is a country with bad weather. It is often cloudy or misty and it rains now and again, so the

broken the law. So he asked the policeman: "Is there anything wrong with my passport? Do I have to go
back to China right now?" "Go back?" shouted the policeman, "Now you are here, we"ll never let you go
away." "What"s happened? What have I done?" asked the Chinese student in surprise. He thought he was
going to be arrested.

Two strangers were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the man was a
teacher, the other was a farmer.
They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said, "Let"s do something to pass the time." "What
do you want to do?" the teacher asked. "We can ask each other riddles," the farmer said. "You start." " Let"s
make the rules first," the teacher said. "And to make the game more interesting, let"s play it for money. If
we don"t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar." The farmer thought about this for a while,

a riddle, I"ll pay you 50 dollars." The teacher thought for a while, then he said, "OK. That"s fair. Who"ll
go first?" "I will," the farmer said. "Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two
legs when it flies?" The teacher thought and thought, "What has three legs when it walks, but only two
when it flies?" Then he said, "That is a good one. I don"t know the answer." He gave the farmer 100
dollars and said, "Tell me the answer. What is it?"
" I don"t know, either." The farmer said, and gave him 50 dollars.
