    Michael and Derek are good friends, but they like to pull each other's leg sometimes. One day during the holidays they decided to go to London together. They went to the station and bought their tickets. When the train came in, Michael broaden in first and without knowing it, dropped his ticket in the platform as he got into the carriage(车厢). Derek, who was close behind saw the ticket fall and quickly picked it up. Without a word to his friend, he put it in his pocket.
    After they had been in the train a little while, they heard the ticket inspector coming down the corridor, shouting, "tickets, please!" Michael looked for his and of course couldn't find it.
    "Oh, dear, I can't find my ticket, Derek," he said.
    "Have another look, Michael, it must be somewhere," said Derek.
    "No, I can't find it anywhere. What shall I do?"
    "Perhaps you had better hide under the seat, then the inspector won't know you are here." So Michael crawled under the seat as fast as he could and lay perfectly still. Presently the door opened and in came the inspector, "Tickers please!" he said.

We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf. It stood outside a furniture(家具)shop. "Buy it,"she said at once. "We'll carry it home on the roof-rack(车顶架). I've always wanted one like that."What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too. As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, "There's a long line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake(超车)?" Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers(警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church(教堂). One of the officers came to me. "Right, sir," he said. "Do you need any more help now?"I didn't quite understand. "Thanks, officer," I said. "You've been very kind. I live just down the road."He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. "Well, well," he said and laughed. "It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was--er, something else."My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it's a bookshelf, but thanks again."I drove home as fast as I could.

“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You're shivering. Are you old? Do you want a cup of hot tea?”
“I'm not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”
“We are here to help you. Don't worry about anything. I don't know you. But I know many things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(马车).”
“Why, yes. You're right. But how do you know these things?”
“ I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.”
“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead. I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr Roylott is using my mother's money for expenses(开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”
Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen's story. He hears every detail.
Helen continues. “My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.”
“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes.
“No. He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.”
“Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?”
“My dear Mr Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead. That is why I am standing here in this room.”

At present, many foreigners show great interest in learning Chinese idioms (成语). Terry and Kate are among them. Most Chinese idioms have four characters. For example, qingchuyulan (bluer than indigo), and houjibofa (success comes with time and effort). Terry and Kate are now reading stories behind the Chinese idioms they have learnt recently.

In the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Huan of Qi led his army to help the State of Yan fight the enemies. They set out in spring. However, when they won the war and wert back home, winter began. Everything in the mountain was covered with snow. They walked and walked only to find they came back to the same place. The army felt hungry and cold. As that time, the minister Guan Zhong picked out some old horses and set them free. The horses started to walk by themselves. The army followed the old horses, Soon, they found their way and walked out of the mountains.

In the Spring and Autunm period, the Stute of Wu and the State of Yue didn't get along well. They were fighting for years. People in each state didn't have a good relationship, either. Oue day, the people of Wu and Yue happened to be on the same boat to cross a river. When the boat was in thus center of the river, a strong wind came. It seemed the boat would turn over anytime. Just then, they forget all the hatred between the two states and began to help and support each other just like they were family. In the end, they safely got to the river bank.
