新东方新概念面授课笔记（1-30） lesson 1

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 (to) 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 des criptions given by people who claimed宣称 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观察 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 it. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of about ?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成功 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.

Lesson 2 Thirteen equals one

Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.

One night, however, our vicar woke up with s start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o?clock, but the bell

struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer. 同位语

?Whatever are you doing up here Bill?? asked the vicar in surprise.

?I?m trying to repair the bell,? answered Bill. ?I?ve been coming up here night

after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.?

?You certainly did give me a surprise!? said the vicar. ?You?ve probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I?m glad the bell is working again.? ?That?s the trouble, vicar,? answered Bill. ?It?s working all right, but I?m

afraid that at one o?clock it will strike thirteen times and there?s nothing I can do about it.?

?We?ll get used to that, Bill,? said the vicar. ?Thirteen is not as good as one, but it?s better than nothing. Now let?s go downstairs and have a cup of tea.?

Lesson 3 An unknown goddess

Some time ago, an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea. An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini. The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization. Houses – often three storeys high – were built of stone. They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls. The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.

The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship（朝圣之地） from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one

statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its

missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very

old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood (was) three feet high and her hands rested on her hips. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far到目前为止, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

Lesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs

These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as ?white-collar workers? for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.

When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he

took shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf?s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning onle half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise上升 in status is well worth the loss money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others别人 will call him ?Mr. Bloggs?, not ?Alf?.

Lesson 5 The facts

Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their

readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed被叫 by a well-known magazine to write an article on关于文章用 the president?s palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article

began: ?Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president?s palace.? The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing伴随动作 him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.

The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile与此同时, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He set the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply. He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to(=didn?t) reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had

originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a fax from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax *in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president?s palace. *所有文字节目及纸上的信息都用“in”

The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time此时 of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr. Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since eight o?clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a

background of black velvet. After gazing(=admiring) at the display for several minutes, Mr. Taylor went back into his shop.

The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the

jeweller?s. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the windows of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr. Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began

throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a

fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr. Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.

Lesson 7 Mutilated ladies* 残钞鉴别组

*Has it ever happened to you? Have you ever曾经 put your trousers in the washing machine and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket? When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white? People who live in Britain needn?t despair绝望 when they make mistakes like this (and a lot of people do)! Fortunately for them, the Bank of England has a team called Mutilated Ladies which deals with claims from people who fed（幽默） their money to a machine or to their dog. Dogs, it seems, love to chew up money!

A recent case concerns Jane Butlin whose fiancé, John, runs a successful furniture无复数 business. John had a very good day and put his wallet

containing ￡3,000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping. Then he and Jane

went horse-riding. When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the

microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé?s wallet as well. Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes

turned to ash! John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle:

the Mutilated Ladies! They examined the remains and John got all his money back. ?So long as只要 there?s something to identify, we will give people their money back,? said a spokeswoman for the Bank. ?Last year, we paid ￡1.5m on 21,000 claims.?

*疑问句、否定句开头不可模仿

*Damaged bank notes. The Queen?s head appears on English bank notes, and ?lady? refers to this.

Lesson 8 A famous monastery

The Great St. Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2,473 meters, it is the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St. Bernard, which was founded in the eleventh century, lies位于 about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St. Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travelers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs, which were first首次 brought from Asia, were used as watchdogs even in Roman times. Now that既然 a tunnel has been built through the mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, but each year, the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveler is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel, there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot.

During the summer months, the monastery is very busy繁华, for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars. As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure. In winter, however, life at the monastery is quite different. The temperature drops to –30o and

very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks prefer winter to summer(,) for they have more privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the

monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young people, who love the peace of the mountains, always receive a warm welcome at St. Bernard?s monastery.

Lesson 9 Flying cats

Cats never fail to(=aways) fascinate human beings. They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well. They never become submissive like dogs and horses. As a result, humans have learned to respect feline independence. Most cats remain suspicious of

humans all their lives. One of the things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives. Apparently明显的, there is a good deal of truth in this idea. A cat?s ability to survive falls is based on fact.

Recently the New York Animal Medical Centre made a study of 132 cats over为期 a period of five months. All these cats had on experience in common: they had fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock or injuries. Of course, New York is the idea理想的 place for such an interesting study, because there is no shortage of tall buildings. There are plenty of high-rise windowsills to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys, yet only suffered from a broken tooth. ?Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers,? a doctor said. It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure

themselves. In a long drop, they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more. At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs like flying squirrels. This这一切 increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground.

Lesson 10 The loss of the Titanic

The great ship, Titanic, sailed for航向 New York from Southampton on April

10th, 1912. She was carrying 1,316 passengers and a crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At that time(then), however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever曾经 been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for shi had sixteen watertight compartments. Even if即使 two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.

Four days after setting out出发, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what had happened. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below在下面, the captain realized to his horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for five of her sixteen watertight compartments had already been flooded! The order to abandon ship was given and hundreds of

people plunged into the icy water. As由于 there were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1,500 lives were lost.

Lesson 11 Not guilty

Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days近来, but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel and have nothing to declare. Even really honest people are often made to被弄得 feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he was five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. When I

returned from abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.

?Have you anything to declare?? he asked, looking me in the eye直勾勾地盯着. ?No,? I answered confidently.

?Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please?? 表生气 ?Not at all,? I answered.

The Officer went through翻 the case with great care仔细. All the things I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer?s face light up. He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.

?Perfume, eh?? he asked sarcastically. ?You should have declared that. Perfume is not exempt from import duty.?

?But it isn?t perfume,? I said. ?It?s hare gel.? Then I added又说到 with a smile, ?It?s a strange mixture I make myself.? As I expected, he did not believe me. ?Try it!? I said encouragingly.

The Officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. He was

greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.

Lesson 12 Life on a desert island

Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite相反. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is an

element of truth in both these picture, but few of us have had the opportunity to find out.

Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Island to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove(is) to be a problem. The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobster and fish every day, and, as one of them put it ?ate like kings?. When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.

Lesson 13 ?It?s only me?

After her husband had gone to work, Mrs. Richards sent打发 her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any

housework that morning, for in the evening she would be going to a fancy-dress party with her husband. She intended to打算 dress up as a ghost and as she had made her costume the night before, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was very effective. After putting it on, Mrs. Richards went downstairs. She wanted to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear.

Just as Mrs. Richards was entering the dining room, there was a knock on the front door. She knew that it must be the baker. She had told him to come

straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs. Richards quickly hid in the small storeroom under the stairs. She heard the front door open and

heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly the door of the storeroom was opened and a man entered. Mrs. Richards realized that it must be the man from the

Electricity Board who had come to read the metre. She tried to explain the

situation, saying ?It?s only me?, but it was too late. The man let out a cry and jumped back several paces. When Mrs. Richards walked towards him, he fled, slamming the door behind him.
