Three men travelling on a train began a conversation about the world"s greatest wonders. "In my opinion," the first man said, "the Egyptian (埃及的) pyramids ( 金字塔) are the world"s greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools.

One afternoon, Henry, an old man from America, telephoned from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. He was going to stay with me. I was still at the office at the time, but I had prepared for his coming. After explaining where my new house was, I told him where I had left the key. As I was likely to be home rather late, I asked him to go into the kitchen and help himself to food and drink. Two hours later my friend telephoned me from the flat. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful meal. He had cooked two eggs and had helped himself to some cold chicken from the refrigerator. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice and he hoped I would join him. When I asked him if he had reached the flat without difficulty he answered that he had not been able to find the key, but luckily the living-room window just by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in.
