听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What was Frank's first job?
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

Lesson 4 An exciting trip 激动人心的旅行
I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.
我刚刚收到弟弟蒂姆的来信，他正在澳大利亚。
30： 威尔河是横穿过我家附近公园的一条小河。我喜欢在天气晴朗的下午到
河边坐坐。上星期日天气很暖和。于是我和往常一样，又去河边坐着。河岸
上有些孩子正在玩耍，河面上有些人正在划船。突然，一个孩子狠狠地踢了
一脚球，球便向着一只划过来的小船飞去。岸上的一些人对着小船上的人高
喊，但他没有听见。球重重地打在他身上，使他差点儿落入水中。我转过头
去看那些孩子，但一个也不见，全都跑了！当那个人明白了发生的事情时，
笑了起来。他大声叫着那些孩子，把球扔回到岸上。
31： 昨天下午弗兰克.霍金斯向我讲述了他年轻时的经历。在退休前，弗兰克是一家非常大的商业公司的经理，但他小时候却在一家小铺里做工。他那时的工作是修理自行车，并且通常是一天工作14个小时。他靠多年积蓄，于1958年买下了自己的一个小铺子。20多岁的时候，弗兰克曾生产飞机零配件。那时他有两个帮手。几年之后，小铺子已经发展成了一个雇有728人的大工厂。弗兰克回想着他早年的艰难经历和走过的漫长的成功之路，微笑了。他正笑着的时候门开了，他的妻子走了进来。她叫他去修理孙子的自行车。
32：人们不再像以前那样诚实了。偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈 -- 特别是在大的商店里。

The Wayle is a small river that cuts
across the park near my home. I like
sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons.
It was warm last Sunday, so I went and
sat on the river bank as usual. Some child-
ren were playing games on the bank and
there were some people rowing on the
river. Suddenly, one of the children
kicked a ball very hard and it went to-
wards a passing boat. Some people on the
bank called out to the man in the boat,
but he did not hear them. The ball struck
him so hard that he nearly fell into the
water. I turned to look at the children,
but there weren't any in sight:they had
all run away! The man laughed when he
realized what had happened. He called out to the children and threw the ball
back to the bank.

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was
telling me about his expcriences as a
young man. Frank is now the head of a
very large business company, but as a
boy he used to work in a small shop. It
was his job to repair bicycles and at that
time he used to work fourteen hours a
day. He saved money for years and in
1938 he bought a small work-shop of his
own. During the war Frank used to make
spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time
he had two helpers. By the end of the
war, the small work-shop had become a
large factory which employed seven hun-
dred and twenty-eight people. Frank
smiled when he remembered his hard
early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door
opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their son's bicycle!

People are not so honest as they once
were. The temptation to steal is greater
than ever before--especially in large
shops. A detective recently watched a
well-dressed woman who always went
into a large store on Monday mornings.
One Monday, there were fewer people in
the shop than usual when the woman
came in, so it was easier for the detective
to watch her. The woman first bought a
few small articles. After a little time, she
chose one of the most expensive dresses
in the shop and handed it to an assistant
who wrapped it up for her as quickly as
possible. Then the woman simply took
the parcel and walked out of the shop
without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop-
assistant was her daughter. The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !
33
Nearly a week passed before the girl was
able to explain what had happened to her.
One afternoon she set out from the coast
in a small boat and was caught in a storm.
Towards evening, the boat struck a rock
and the girl jumped into the sea. Then
she swam to the shore after spending the
whole night in the water.During that
time she covered a distance of eight miles.
Early next morning, she saw a light ahead.
She knew she was near the shore because
the light was high up on the cliffs. On
arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up
the cliff towards the light she had seen.
That was all she remembered. When she
woke up a day later, she found herself in
hospital.
