Lesson 7

Text A After a Heavy Snowstorm

One night there was a heavy snowstorm, and in the morning Mr Smith's garden was full of deep snow. Mr Smith wanted to take his car out, so he paid a man to clean the path from his garage to his gate. He said to this man, “Don't throw any snow on that side, because it will damage the bushes in my garden; and don't throw any snow into the street, or the police will be angry. ”Then Mr Smith went out.
一天晚上下起了一場大雪，第二天早上Mr Smith家的花園就積滿了深深的雪。Mr Smith想把他的車取出來，所以他雇了一個人來清理從車庫到大門的那條小路（上的雪）。他跟那個男人說：“不要把雪扔到路邊，因為那將毀壞我花園里的灌木；也不要把雪扔到街上，不然警察會生氣的?！闭f完Mr Smith就出去了。

When he came back, the path was clean and the snow from it was not on the bushes, or the fence, or the street. Mr Smith was very pleased until he opened the garage to get his car out! The garage was full to the top with all the snow from the path, and his car was somewhere under it all!
當他回來時，小路已經被清理干凈了，那些被清理的雪既不在灌木叢中，也不在籬笆中，也不在街上。Mr Smith很滿意直到他打開車庫去取車！車庫里竟然堆滿了來自小路上的積雪，而他的車就在雪下面的某個地方！

A Better Mailman!

I worked as a mailman for a short time. However, I am afraid of dogs and I had a lot of trouble. One day I tried to deliver some letters to a big house. I started to open the gate and all of a sudden a huge dog ran toward me. It growled and barked at me, so I threw the letters over the fence. The dog picked them up and carried them into the house. The dog was a better mailman than I was!
