The confusion

A man, who was loaded with parcels, went to the parking lot looking for his car.He had just done the shopping for his fiancee, for the Valentine's Day was drawing near.Tired and anxious to move fast, he suddenly forgot where he had just parked his dear car.All of a sudden, he saw one exactly like it.He thought it was bound to be his.He arrived fast and tried his key.It didn't work.He lost his temper and forced the lock.Worse still, he broke the key.“What a day!” he thought.But this marked the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes.He dropped the parcels and made them a tremendous mess.Infuriated, he deliberately broke the window of the car and went in.Precisely at that moment the owner of that car heard the alarm and went to the spot with a policeman.After that the man was arrested, realizing what a mistake he had made.He tried to explain that he was innocent and that he was just on an impulse, but it didn't work.He was asked to pay the damages.Soon afterwards, he was out of jail.As if this were not enough to reduce him to tears, his fiancee waited for him all day and went away forever.译文

混乱

一个左一个包右一个袋的人走到停车场找他的车。他刚为自己的未婚妻购完物，因为情人节就快要到了。他十分累，心里想着快些回家休息，但他突然忘记他把车停 在哪儿了。山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村，正当他愁苦时突然看到一辆车像极了他那辆，就像一个模子刻的。他想这一定是他的车，谢天谢地终于找到车了。他 迅速跑到车旁，掏出钥匙开锁。但锁没有反应。他发了脾气，试着用暴力开锁。更糟糕的事情发生了，他的车钥匙仅仅是一系列突发灾难的开端。

他一时急躁，把大包小包给掉在了地上，瞬间一团糟。他更恼火了，故意砸破那辆车的窗子，钻进车。恰巧的是，就在这时车主听见了汽车报警声，一位警察随同他来到现场。这个人被捕了，看了车牌才意识到他犯下了多大的错误。他试图解释自己是出于一时冲动，是无罪 的，但这并不奏效。他被要求支付赔偿金。不久之后，他终于出狱了。

这似乎不足以让那个人落泪，他的未婚妻等了他一整天，然后决定永远离他而去。

NEC3001

Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously.However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her.It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.The search proved difficult,for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening.Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes.Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country,this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape.The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught.It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

第四篇：新概念英语第三册 46-50 课后作文标准答案

Lesson 46 Do it yourself Key to Composition A possible answer Plan and ideas for composition(a)Title: The dripping tap Introduction: Dripping tap — didn't want to call in a plumber — charge a lot of money — so did it myself — surely a fairly easy job —what can go wrong? Development: First thing — turn off water at mains — couldn't find it — finally found it under the kitchen sink — never noticed it before — turned it off Turned on kitchen tap — stopped running — unscrewed tap — took off old washer — new washer wouldn't go on — cut it a little — went on, no problem — put everything back together — turned on mains — pleased — five minutes later, tap started dripping worse than ever Conclusion: Never again — will always call in professional Composition Friends have often told me that one of the simplest plumbing jobs in a house is changing the washer on a dripping tap.We had a drip-ping tap in the kitchen.It had been dripping for weeks.I didn't want to call in a plumber because they charge a lot of money, so I decided to do it myself.Surely it's a fairly easy job, I thought.What can go wrong? I really did not think that it would be difficult.I knew that the first thing I had to do was to turn off the water at the mains.Unfor-tunately, I couldn't find where to turn off the water.Was it under the sink in our kitchen? Or was it outside somewhere? Eventually I found it under the kitchen sink on a pipe coming up from the ground that I.had never noticed before.When I had turned off the mains tap, I turned on the kitchen tap until it stopped running.So far, so good!Then I gaily embarked on the task of unscrewing the tap and taking off the old washer.When I tried to put the new washer on, however, I realized that I had a problem.Whatever I did, it just wouldn't go on.So I cut it a little and it went on with no problem.Then I put everything back togeth-er and turned on the mains.I was so pleased with myself — until, five minutes later, the tap started dripping worse than ever.As a result of the experience, I have made a decision.I will never attempt to change a washer again, and I will call in a professional for any plumbing, building or electrical job that ever needs doing in the house.(291 words)

Lesson 47 Too high a price? Key to Composition A possible answer.Plan and ideas for composition(a)Title: “You are what you eat” Introduction: Meaning of expression— applies to some — not to others Development: Plenty of fruit and vegetables — lean meat — keep healthy...Fatty foods and “junk foods”(beefburgers, etc.,)...Problem —physical health not simply result of diet — also metabolism, exercise and way of life/lifestyle — sit at desk day — watch TV — can't expect to be healthy

Conclusion: I eat well and sensibly — take exercise — still 150 pounds — too much for my age and height Composition It has often been said that “you are what you eat.” But what does that mean? It certainly does not mean that if you eat enough car-rots, you will begin to look like one!It means that you will be healthy if you eat healthy food, and your health will not be so good if you eat “junk food”.And obviously it applies to some people, but not to others.A friend of mine is mainly a vegetarian, she eats mostly fruit am vegetables, with some fish, and she is extremely healthy.She even has a meal occasionally with fried eggs, fried bacon and chips, but h doesn't seem to do her any harm.Basically she eats a diet which is 90% healthy.So, I suppose, she is what she eats.There is a problem, however, and it is this.Your physical health is not simply the result of what you eat and drink: it is also.partly a result of your own metabolism, the amount of exercise you take and the general way you live(your lifestyle, if you like).If you eat healthy food, but sit at a desk all day and then sit all evening watching television, then of course you can't expect to be really healthy.I eat well, I think.I eat fresh meat, fruit and vegetables when I can.I do not eat much fatty food, I do not eat much prepared food(frozen meals)and very rarely have a fried meal.I take regular exercise, particularly walking and cycling, and I don't drink much alcohol.But I still weigh ISO pounds, which is too much for my age and height.(276wards)

Lesson 48 The silent village Key to Composition A possible answer Plan and ideas for composition(b)

.Title: An unexpected swim Introduction: Reached the stream — no one there — no boat, no boatman Development: At first surprised — mistaken the place? walked along bank —definitely not there Tried to attract attention of anyone on other side — stranded Sat down on bank of stream'—discussed problem—wife suggested something — take off shirts, tie personal belongings in them — swim to other side Walked back to hotel Conclusion: Most surprising thing — walked into hotel still wet — no one said word Composition When we reached the stream where we had stepped out of the ferry and where the boatman said he would wait, there was no one.There was no boat and no boatman At first we were surprised and thought that we had perhaps mistaken the place where he said he would wait.We walked along the bank of the stream for a few hundred yards in one direction, and then in the other.He was definitely not there.I was worried that the villagers would be coming down the mountain after.us, but we couldn't see anybody, and the only noise was the noise of the running stream.We called across the stream to attract the attention of anyone on the other side, but nothing happened.It seemed that we were stranded.We sat down on the bank of the stream and just looked at each other

“Come on, ” I said.“We've been in worse situations than this.What about that time we got lost in the forest in Germany, and the time the car broke down in Australia?'* ”You're right, “ she said, cheering up.”There is something we can do.“ And, since I certainly couldn't think of anything better, we did just what she suggested.We both took off our shirts, tied our per-sonal belongings in them(purse, money, passport, keys and so on), tied the shirts round our waists, and waded into the water until we had to swim.And we swam to the other side, where we squeezed out our shirts and put them on again wet.Then we walked back to our small hotel in the town.Perhaps the most surprising thing was that when we walked into the hotel still wet from our swim across the stream, no one said a word!(301wards)

Lesson 49 The ideal servant Key to Composition A possible answer Plan and ideas for composition(b)Tide: It is a good thing domestic servants have become a great rarity.Introduction: Domestic servants still exist — work for film stars, pop stars, other famous people—but very few — great age of servants is past Development: Reasons why small number of domestic servants: small number of big houses needing domestic servants — many country ? houses in Britain — bought by National Trust — many helpers voluntary Houses owned privately — now run much more efficiently — open gates to general public Such large houses — some domestic staff — but employ other people Conclusion: Personally pleased — no more/very few domestic servants

Most work for someone else — but ”servant“ idea connected with past centuries Composition Domestic servants still exist, but nowadays, instead of working for rich old ladies, they only work for members of the royal family, aristocrats, film stars, pop stars, successful businessmen and other rich and famous people, and there are really very few of them.The great age of domestic servants is past.There are many reasons why there is such a small number of domestic servants now-The first thing, of course, is that there are very few families that own big houses that need domestic servants.Many of the large country houses in Britain that need servants have been bought by an organisation called the National Trust and many of the people who help to run these properties are voluntary.They are cer-tainly not ”servants“ and they believe that they are helping to preserve the heritage of Great Britain.The houses that are still owned privately are row run much more efficiently than they used to be, and very few entertain guests as they used to do.Instead, they open their gates to the general public, and so they need the same staff that major entertainments need.True, such large houses have some domestic staff, but they employ many other people who would not like to think of themselves as ”dom-estic servants“ — waiters and waitresses in their cafes, cleaners, car park attendants, ticket collectors, guides, office staff, and so on.I am personally pleased that there are so few people in domestic service now.Moat of us work for someone else, it's true, but the whole idea of being a ”servant“, a ”domestic servant“, is an idea connected more with past centuries than the twentieth or twenty-first centuries.(279wards)

Lesson 50 New Year resolutions Key to Composition A possible answer Plan and ideas for composition {a)Titles Broken resolutions Introduction: New Year resolutions — made to be broken? — some people serious — most know they won't succeed — so ridiculous res-olutions ，Development: Last time made list of resolutions — five years ago — always do college work on time — keep room tidy — have nothing to do with girls in nearby college — write home once a week — wash clothes regularly — have haircut once a month — Im-possible!— girlfriend helped —? eventually gave up in despair

Conclusion: Don't make New Year resolutions any more — little point — why break habits — years to establish

Composition：

, Are New Year resolutions made to be broken? f think so.Some people are serious about them of course, but most know that they won't succeed in keeping them.That's probably why they make resolutions such as ”I must be polite to Aunt Harriet“ when they only see Aunt Harriet twice a year!— or ”I must cut down on my smoking" when they only ever have a cigarette after a family lunch on Sundays!Such resolutions, then, are not only ridiculous, but hardly resolutions at all!The last time I ever made a list of resolutions was five years ago.I remember now that I resolved always to do my college work on time, to keep my room tidy, to have nothing to do with the girls in the nearby girls' college, to write home at least once a week, to wash my dirty clothes regularly and to have a haircut once a month.What was I thinking of?!For most college students such resolutions would be impossible — and of course they were for me!

I kept three of the resolutions for a week, and a girlfriend from the nearby girls' college helped me to keep two more(the ones about keeping my room tidy and washing my dirty clothes regularly!)for another week.After that, I gave up in despair.Instead, I resolved just to try to be just a little bit more tidy and a little more thoughtful, generally.I don't bother to make New Year resolutions any more since I have proved to myself and others that I can't keep them.There seems to be little point in breaking habits which have taken years to establish.(279 words)

第五篇：新概念英语第三册40课笔记(逐句)

It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else.Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax.Inviting the fire brigade to put out a non-existent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in.Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims.When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill.As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not take him seriously.He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people.Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information.The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on.Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away.When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen.He threatened to remove them by force.The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help.Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen.As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill.The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper.He threatened to call the police.At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest.Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station.Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a pay phone.Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else.practical['præktɪkl]adj.实际的；实用性的practical joke 恶作剧
