【課文】
A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby. He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery. The officer in the control tower was very angry when he heard the news, because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft. He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object. The pilot managed to circle the balloon for some time. He could make out three men in a basket under it and one of them was holding a pair of binoculars. When the balloon was over the station, the pilot saw one of the men taking photographs. Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield. The police were called in, but they could not arrest anyone, for the basket contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station! As the Commanding Officer explained later, one half of the station did not know what the other half was doing!

【課文】
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home. I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman. I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.
'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'
'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see. I've forgotten my key.'
'Your what?' he called.
'My key,' I shouted.
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.

“可我更愿意呆在這兒，”我說(shuō)，“您瞧，我忘帶鑰匙了�！�
“什么?”他大聲問(wèn)。
“鑰匙!”我喊道。

【課文】
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.

世界上的紀(jì)念碑之一的自由女神雕像是在19世紀(jì)時(shí)由法國(guó)人民贈(zèng)送給美國(guó)的。這座由雕像家?jiàn)W古斯特.巴索爾地設(shè)計(jì)的巨大雕像是用10年時(shí)間雕像刻成的。這座雕像的主體是用銅制成的，由艾菲爾特制的金屬框架支撐著。在雕像被運(yùn)往美國(guó)之前，必須為它選好一塊場(chǎng)地，同時(shí)必須建造一個(gè)基座。場(chǎng)地選在了紐約港入口處的一個(gè)鳥(niǎo)上。到1884年，一座高度達(dá)151英尺的雕像在巴黎豎立起來(lái)了。第二年，它被拆成若干小塊，運(yùn)到美國(guó)。到1886年10月底，這座雕像被重新組裝起來(lái)，由巴索爾地正式贈(zèng)送給美國(guó)人民。從那時(shí)起，這座偉大的紀(jì)念碑對(duì)通過(guò)紐約港進(jìn)入美國(guó)定居的千百萬(wàn)人來(lái)說(shuō)就一直是自由的象征。
