§ Lesson 13 ‘It’s only me’ “是我，别害怕”
What did the manexpect to find under the stairs?
After her husbandhad gone to work, Mrs Richards sent her children to school and went upstairs toher bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework that morning, for in theevening she would be going to a fancy dress party with her husband. Sheintended to dress up as a ghost and as she had made her costume the nightbefore, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of asheet, it was very effective. After putting it on, Mrs Richards wentdownstairs. She wanted to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear.
Just as MrsRichards was entering the dining-room, there was a knock on the front door. Sheknew that it must be the baker. She had todd him to come straight in if evershe failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Notwanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs Richards quickly hid in the smallstore-room under the stairs. She heard the front door open and heavy footstepsin the hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and a man entered.Mrs Richards realized that it must be the man from the Electricity Board whohad come to read the meter. She tried to explain the situation, saying' It'sonly me', but it was too late. The man let out a cry and jumped back severalpaces. When Mrs Richards walked towards him, he fled, slamming the door behindhim.

§Lesson 14 A noble gangster贵族歹徒
Q: How didHawkwood make money in times of peace?
There was a timewhen the owners of shop and businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums ofmoney to gangsters in return for 'protection'. If the money was not paidpromptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man out of business by destroyinghis shop. Obtaining 'protechon money' is not a modern crime. As long ago as thefourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkablediscovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their lifework destroyed by gangsters.
Six hundred yearsago, Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settlednear Florence. He soon made a name for himself and came to be known to theItalians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war witheach other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing topay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad,Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after burning down afew farms, would offer to go away if protection money was paid to them.Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italiansregarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, theFlorentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted which wasdedicated to the memory of 'the most valiant soldier and most notable leader,Signor Giovanni Haukodue'.

§ Lesson 15 Fifty pence worth of trouble 五十便士的麻烦
Q: Did George getanything for his fifty pence? What?
Children alwaysappreciate small gifts of money. Father, of course, provides a regular supplyof pocket-money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. Withsome children, small sums go a long way. If sixpences are not exchanged forsweets, they rattle for months inside money-boxes. Only very thrifty childrenmanage to fill up a money-box. For most of them, sixpence is a small price topay for a satisfying bar of chocolate.
My nephew, George,has a money-box but it is always empty. Very few of the sixpences I have givenhim have found their way there. I gave him sixpence yesterday and advised himto save it. Instead, he bought himself sixpence worth of trouble. On his way tothe sweet shop, he dropped his sixpence and it rolled along the pavement andthen disappeared down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled up hissleeves and pushed his right arm through the drain cover. He could not find hissixpence anywhere, and what is more, he could not get his arm out. A crowd ofpeople gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and butter, butGeorge was firmly stuck. The fire-brigade was called and two firemen freedGeorge using a special type of grease. George was not too upset by hisexperience because the lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his troublesand rewarded him with a large box of chocolates.
