    Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
  “I don't sing,” said the man.
    But the lady told the waiter, “I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”
    The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”
    So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
    He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.

Prince Caspian's parents died. He lived with his uncle, Miraz, the King of Narnia and his aunt. Though he had wonderful toys, he liked best the last hour of the day when the toys had all been put away and Nurse would tell him stories.

He didn't care much for his uncle and aunt, but about twice a week his uncle would ask him to come and have a walk together.

One day, while they were doing this, the King said, "Well, boy, we must soon teach you to ride and use a sword. You know we have no children, so it looks as if you might have to be King when I'm gone. How shall you like that, eh?"

"I don't know, Uncle," said Caspian. "What do you wish?" asked the King. "I wish-I wish—I wish I could have lived in the Old Days," said Caspian.

Up till now the King had been talking in a tiresome way, which made it quite clear that he wasn't really interested in what they were saying, but he suddenly gave Caspian a sharp(锐利的) look.

"Eh? What's that?" he said. "What old days?"

"Oh, don't you know, Uncle?" said Caspian. "Once there was a White Witch(女巫) and she made herself Queen of the whole country. And she made it so that it was always winter. And then two boys and two girls came from somewhere and killed the Witch and they were made Kings and Queens of Narnia. And so they ruled for a long time and everyone had a lovely time, and it was all because of Aslan."

"Who's she?" said the King. If Caspian had been a little older, the tone(语气) of his uncle's voice would have warned him it would be wiser to shut up. But he talked on...

Max and his wife Mary went to bed one night,and left the front door open. 

"Get up and 1 the door. " Max said to his wife. 

"No,you're supposed to do that," said Mary to Max. 

"I can't do that," said Max. "I just said you must close it,and I2 go back on my word. "

"I never go back on my word,either," responded Mary. 

They reached an agreement that the first person to 3 should get the door closed. The wind blew awfully through the house. They shivered (哆嗦) in the cold but neither of them spoke. 

4 named Peter saw the open door and entered the house directly. He took the gold 5 . Mary bought them just several days ago and those valuable items made her look beautiful,but she did not say a word. He took all the pounds. Max did not prevent him,either. 

Peter lit a fire and cooked a big meal. Then he took away all the dishes,the glasses and other materials. Max and Mary still remained 6 . Peter left,without closing the door. 

The next morning,Mary went out early to get some food. Max sat alone on the 7 . A travelling barber (理发师) saw the door open and walked in. "Do you need a haircut? " He asked. Max said 8 so the barber came into the house and cut his hair. 

"Well,how do you like it? " He said when he finished. Max did not answer,so the barber cut off some more. "Well,I suppose it might be 9 to cut it all off completely," the barber suggested. Max did not want his hair cut anymore, 10 he was not going to speak. The barber cut all his hair. 

"Now," said the barber, "you must 11 me. " Max had no money so he didn't say a word. "What? " shouted the barber. He went to the fireplace,took some soot(烟灰) and blew it all over Max's 12 . Still,Max did not say a word. The barber went out of the house 13 ,leaving the door open. 

Some time later,Mary returned. She saw her husband sitting on the floor,with no hair and a 14 face,and shouted. "My poor Max! What happened? "

Max 15 suddenly,getting the victory, "You spoke first!" He said,walking around happily. Now,go and close the door!"
