Lesson82 Monster or fish? 是妖还是鱼？Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen,

Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing-boat was carried m

10、ter, Mr Wentworth Lane, was defeated in the recent elections. He is now retiring from political life and has gone abroad.

The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. No one knows how long it will last. The busmen have stated that the strike will continue

All the young men are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test. The students are going to take the test in two days time. Even so, people are going to find it diffic

Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast!Lesson85 Never too old to learn 活到老学到老I have just received a letter from my old school informing me that my former head- master, Mr Regmald Page, will be retiring next week.
