Buried Treasure!

An old captain and a young sailor are talking at a bar. Captain: Boy, do you like adventure and danger? Sailor: Yes, sir.

Captain: our father was a good friend of mine. He even saved my life once. So, I’m going to do

you a favour. Come closer, boy. Take a look at this.

Sailor: A treasure map! Captain: Keep quiet. Now, you listen closely. About 10 years ago, I sailed with my crew to the

Caribbean. We carried a chest full of gold, jewels… treasure enough for a king! But those were dangerous times. I had to bury the treasure on the island of Bara Julip.

Sailor: Did you look for it later? Captain: No, I never had the chance. No, I’m too cold and want you to have the map. Sailor: I don’t know what to say. Thank you. Captain: you must be careful! There are mountains, lakes, forests, and rivers to cross. If the

animals don’t kill you, the hot weather might. Remember, there’s only one mountain pass. Cross the forest quickly. Be sure to cross the river in the north.

Sailor: I’ll do my best. Captain: Good luck, boy.

The fore babies

Anna, Bernard, Carmen and Diana, three girls and a boy, were all born in the same hospital on the same day last month. One day all of their four mothers asked a nurse to give them each a bath(洗澡), because their fathers were soon coming to the hospital to see their babies. But the nurse was new. She took off their name labels (标签)one by one when she bathed them, but she forgot to put any of them on again.

She knew only some things about each baby.

Only two of the babies have some hair, but they aren’t Anna and Carmen. Only one of the babies cries all the time but Anna is a happy baby.

One baby always quietly sucks its thumbs(吮手指)but has no hair at all. Its name is Anna. One baby always touches the right ear and cries a lot, but she isn’t the smallest baby. The fattest baby has no hair, and never cries. This baby doesn’t suck the thumb, too. One of the boys with the red hair never cries but moves here and there.

Old English Table Rules

Years ago, in England, the children of lords and ladies were brought up by servants in their own part of the house or castle. They only saw their parents at dinner time. There were many rules about how to behave at meal times. Everyone had his or her own knife, which was used for cutting food, spoons were setout on the table. Forks hadn’t been invented, so fingers were used to take food from dishes on the table. We all know fingers were invented before forks! These are some of the rules:

· Don’t clean your knife on the tablecloth. · Don’t carve the table with your knife. · Don’t spread the butter with your thumb. · Don’t drink out of the bowl. Use a spoon. · Wipe your spoon clean and take care it isn’t stolen.

· Keep your hands from dirtying the tablecloth, and don’t blow your nose on it. · Don’t put unwanted food back in the dish. · Don’t throw any bones on the floor. · Don’t blow crumbs out of your mouth. · Don’t grin, shout, or stuff your jaws with food.

True or False:

1. In old England, children were taught table manner by their parents.

2. Nowadays, we would find some of these rules still very popular.

3. People used their fingers because they didn’t have forks.

4. Put chicken bones on your plate.

5. The tablecloth was for wiping hands
