The COVID-19 lockdown worried me.I worried about what the weeks and months ahead might look like.I decided to take the idea of "love the neighbour" seriously,though I had only On a Saturday morning,I made a sign that said, "Have a nice day, "and stuck it on my met them from the kitchen window.
   On a Saturday morning,I made a sign that said, "Have a nice day," and stuck it on my kitchen window,with a smiley face.A while later that day,the neighbour living across from me,taped up a sign on the window with a message for us. "Thank you.You too! "We went on like this for a few days ,back and forth,like an echo,and I thought of how this would be a nice story for us all:move from strangers in the beginning to good friends in the end.
   Somewhere around Day 5,I positioned"Beaker the Muppet"in the window,and they responded with a cute stuffed dog.Then I put a note of a Mary Oliver poem about spring to raise the bar.Maybe I was showing off.Sure enough,no"echo this time.
   The next day,Dewey was barking at their dog in the backyard.I saw one of the guys when I went out to stop my dog. "Sorry,we didn't find a poem," he said. "We meant to," he added,And then we never did." "That's okay,I replied.And we both went back inside.
   During the following days,I also ran into the neighbour in the driveway some times as we walked our dogs,and found the note already started to feel a little silly.What if my notes were a chore to them,and not a charm?
   For months,I had avoided my favourite blocks sidewalk that cut through my neighbourhood.Going for walks these days made me sad,or mad,because the story had no good ending.
   I kept thinking, "How do I love you,my neighbour,like I'm supposed to?I have decided after this is all over,I will finally have all my neighbours over for dinner.I will write this invitation on a piece of paper and stick it on my kitchen window for them to read,for old,bad times' sake.Maybe we can have a little laugh together about how we tried to be kind.We'll say even during the hard time,nothing can lock us.

  • 1.I had been in the city for some time and was coming home.I missed my boat and decided to travel on an old ship.I knew that it would not be a comfortable journey but I had no time to wait for another boat.
       Hardly had we left the port when I saw the dog Gulliver,the captain's favourite dog,for the first time.What a big dog it was!I had never seen one that could frighten me so much!
       On the third day the ship caught fire.Nobody tried to put it out.The ship began sinking and all the men rushed to the lifeboats.I saw no chance of getting away in a boat.Suddenly I remembered there was a life raft(橡皮救生筏) on the ship.I had no time,so I immediately rushed towards the raft and pushed it into the water.
       In jumping down onto the raft I hurt myself badly and was unconscious for some time.When I came to,I found there was no sign of a lifeboat.Every man who had been on board the ship must have gone down with her.I was the only one who was saved.
       Then I saw Gulliver was coming fast towards the raft.It struggled a long time before it managed to get onto the raft.I wanted to push it back into the water but did not dare to move.The dog shook itself,went to the other end of the raft and lay down.I did not dare to sleep that night.I must watch it.In the moonlight I could see its eyes were open.It was watching,too.

  • 2.When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation.I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses,because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice,but they came back with some funny stories.
       "We didn't stay at "bed and breakfast" houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."
       I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English,and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays",because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones".So they did not go to house where the sign outside said "VACANCIES",which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said "NO VACANCIES",because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result,they stayed at hotels!
       We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish,the word "DIVERSION" means fun.In English,it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun.Instead,the road ended in a large hole.
       English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee,I said "Thank you" in French.I meant that I would like some more.However,to my surprise,the coffeepot was taken away!Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No,thank you."

    (1)The writer's friends in Spain wanted to get advice about
    .
    A.the chance of learning English
    B.the way of going to England

    A.it would be convenient for them to have dinner
    B.it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
    C.they would be able to practise their English
    D.there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

    C.find that the road is stopped by lots of people

    C.he just wants to show his politeness

  • 3.The most frightening words in the English language are "Our computer is down".You hear it more and more when you are on business.
       The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry,I can't sell you a ticket.Our computer is down."
       "If your computer is down,just write me out a ticket."
       "I can't write you out a ticket.The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
       I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen.Then I asked her, "What do all your people do?"
       "We give the computer the information about your trip,and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."
       "So when it goes down,you go down with it."
       "That's right,sir."
       "How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
       "I have no idea.Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes,sometimes for two hours.There's no way we can find out without asking the computer,and since it's down it won't answer us."
       After the girl told me they had no backup (備用) computer,I said, "Let's forget the computer.What about your planes?They're still flying,aren't they?"
       "I couldn't tell without asking the computer."
       "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington," I suggested.
       "I wouldn't know what gate to send you to.Even if the pilot was going to Washington,he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket."
      "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
       "I wouldn't know," she said,pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT' knows. 'IT' can't tell me."
       By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines.The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down.Some people went white;some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

    (1)What could the girl in the ticket office do for the passengers without asking the computer?

    A.She could sell a ticket.
    B.She could write out a ticket.
