All went well some years, and then a thief stole a lot of jewellery from his shop twice in one month at night.
Three weeks passed, yet the police still didn"t catch the thief. So Billy decided to try to do something about
it himself. He bought a good camera and fixed it up in his shop and put some cheap jewellery in front of it
for the thief, so that it could take a photo of anyone who stole the jewellery.
A few nights later the thief came, but he did not touch any of the cheap jewellery that Billy had put out
for him. He took the camera, which was worth 1500 dollars.

worked in a town and there was no team for him there, so he stopped playing.
Then he began to get rather fat, so he thought, "I have stopped playing football, and now I"m getting fat.
What am I going to do?" He thought about it for a few days, and then he said to himself, " I know, I"ll play
tennis."
He had a few lessons, and then played for a few months.
He met a nice girl at the tennis club (俱乐部) one day, and they played a game of tennis against another
young man and woman.
Jack played very badly and was very angry with himself. "I"ve never played as badly as this before," he
said to the girl.
"Oh," she said, "you have played before, haven"t you?"
B. tennis
C. table tennis
D. his lessons
and looked at his clock. It was twelve o"clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He
decided to go and find out. So he got out of bed, put on his dressing gown (浴袍) and went to the door.
When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That"s very strange." he thought. Then he went back
to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.
A few minutes later he heard the bell ring again. Mr Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to
the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel too angry.
Then he saw a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up. There were some words on it: " It is now after
midnight (午夜), so it is April Fool"s Day (愚人节). April fool to you!"
"Oh, it was the English boy next door!" Mr Lee exclaimed (惊叫) and almost smiled. He went back to
bed and fell asleep at once. The bell did not ring again.
B. after twelve o"clock
C. when the bell rang
D. when he saw the boy
In a New York street a small truck hit a big tree. The truck was full of glasses and they were 1 now.
The driver came out of the truck and looked at the broken glasses. He was very 2 . And people in the
street were 3 for him.
Then an old man walked to the driver, looked at him for a few 4 and said, "My poor boy, I think you
must 5 a lot for it."
"Yes," was the sad answer.
"Well, well," said the old man, "hold out your 6 . Here"s some money for you, and I hope all the people
around here will give 7 , too." With these words, he walked away.
The driver held out his hat and over a hundred people came and put their money in it. At last the
driver 8 a bag and put all the 9 in, Then he looked at the people and said, "Well, thank you very much. I"m working for that old man, all these 10 are made in his factory."
visit her. But she was 2 . She spent much time thinking about her 3 and about her dead husband. Her
children worried about her and asked Dr Green to see her.
Dr Green was a good doctor. She knew 4 people become set (顽固) in their ways and don"t like to
be told what to do. She decided to get to know Mrs White 5 she said anything. During the visit, Dr.
Green asked Mrs White to show her around the house. Mrs White happily 6 . As they walked from room
to room, Dr Green saw that there were a lot of beautiful violets (紫罗兰) in every window. She asked, " 7
do you have so many violets? Mrs white answered, "I love these flowers and they grow so fast that I have
more and more." When the visit was over, Dr Green said, "I have one suggestion (建议). When you hear a
friend or a neighbor is ill or getting married (结婚), give 8 one of your violets."
Later one of her friends was ill, so she took a violet to him in the hospital. She began to 9 more and
more of her voilets to her neighbors. She gave away so many that she became known as the 10 lady.
He was given the silver (银) cup.
"It isn"t rightly mine," he said, when he was holding the cup. "It was won two years ago when I was
on holiday in…
"A family was staying at my hotel (旅馆) at that time. Mrs Prag, the mother, was told that I played
chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. "He"s only ten." she said, "I"ve been told that he
plays quite well."
"Well, as you can guess, I wasn"t too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he
does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game
began. I hoped it would be quick and so it was.
"I soon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to
play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without
care. I gave my attention to the board."
"Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson," he said.
"When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister.I studied the board and
found I was driven into corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board,
then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten, oh so easily, by
a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner-in twenty-eight minutes.
"David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me.
To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games."

C. he had learned how to play chess from a child
D. he had learned a good game from a child
