Sunday, October 16 Fine

Today was one of the best days of my life, as I did a skydive for the first time.

I was really nervous when I got onto the plane and it began to fly higher into the sky. All my family and friends were waiting in a field down below. To stop myself from feeling afraid, I had to keep telling myself why I was doing it.

I decided two weeks ago to take part in this skydive for charity because I wanted to raise money to build a library at my local school. I asked everyone I knew to sponsor（赞助） me. People

were very generous. Since then I have spent hours every day learning the skills.

It was not long before the day arrived and I was walking onto the plane. It seemed hours had gone by as we started on the runway and took off into the clouds, but it can only have been a few minutes. The teacher checked everything for us one last time before opening the door. The cold wind rushed in, and I felt my heart beat faster. Finally, it was my turn to jump. The teacher then put his hand on my back and pushed me out of the plane!

Suddenly, I was falling through the sky. I was probably around three kilometers above the ground and going at a high speed. The plane disappeared in a few seconds, and I was completely alone, with the ground getting closer and closer all the time. It may seem a strange thing to say, but I felt as if I were a bird and quickly forgot all my worries and fears. After around 30 seconds, I pulled the cord of the parachute（降落伞）on my back. I felt it pull me upwards as it opened, and then I began to float downwards to the ground below. Soon I landed in a field where my family were waiting.

I found it exciting to fall through the sky, but I was also very happy to have both my feet back on the ground again.

It was Tuesday evening, and the rain sounded like a drum as it hit the street outside. When I arrived at the house, I got out of the car and ran to the door. I knocked on it three times, 80 , and then knocked five times. The door opened quietly and a short man looked at me.

?You?re late,? Jim said.

?I had to 81 that I wasn?t followed,? I replied.

He turned and led me inside. I followed Jim to where Mike and Pete were sitting. I joined them, and looked down at the piles of paper that covered the table.

?Are these the plans?? I asked.

?Of course,? Pete smiled. ?Now we know exactly where the bank holds the money, the gold and the jewels.?

?And soon all of it will be 82 ,? I said, smiling back at him.

?This time next week, we?ll be sitting on a distant beach somewhere, and no one will ever find us,? Pete said.

We spent the next hour rewriting the 83 for Friday. We decided that Mike would go in before lunch, to find out where the guard was standing. Pete and Jim would run into the bank with their guns ten minutes later. I would wait in the car outside and be 84 to drive them away when they had filled their suitcases with as much money as possible.

It was still raining on Friday. At exactly eleven o?clock, the three men came running out of the bank, each of them holding a gun and a suitcase full of cash.

I started the car immediately and drove 85 through the streets. Pete, Mike and Jim were all smiling to themselves. That would soon change, however, when they realized that we were going straight to a factory where the police were waiting.

“There is no love which is more sincere than the love of food,” said Anglo-Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Like Bernard Shaw, many writers e 86 food very much, and they say and write interesting things about it.

British poet Owen Meredith(1831-1891) learnt a lot about food when he lived in Paris. He famously said, “We may live without friends, we may live without books, but civilized(文明的) men cannot live without c 87 .”

American writer Mark Twain also wrote a lot about food. “When you have t 88 watermelon,” he wrote, “you know what angels eat.”

American cookbook writer Alice May Brock has some simple rules about food from different

c 89 . “If you want to cook international food, it?s easy,” she wrote. “Put tomatoes on the plate and it?s Italian. Use soy sauce and it?s Chinese. A 90 wine to the recipe(食谱) and it?s French. Sour cream makes it Russian and lemon makes it Greek. But garlic makes it good! Cheers!”

Tea and coffee are even more i 91 for some people. There is a Chinese saying, “It is better to go without food for three days, than tea for one.”

American President Abraham Lincoln was often rude about the tea and coffee which was served to him. For example, he was in a Washington restaurant one day, and when the main meal was over, a cup of hot l 92 was placed in front of him. He drank a bit and was clearly angry. “Waiter,” he said, “if this is coffee, please bring me some tea; and if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.”

One Saturday afternoon, Tom and his sister, Viv, were having tea in a café. Tom was telling Viv about his history project. “On Monday I am giving a speech in front of the class. It will be about famous inventions,” Tom told Viv. “Let?s go to the public library and find a book on inventions,” suggested Viv. “We?ll call the library first to see what time it closes.” They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring ?1888?, the number for Directory Enquiries（电话号查询台）, there was a loud crash outside the phone box. A woman had dropped her shopping bags.

Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears. The shopping centre disappeared, and everything went dark. Suddenly there was a big bump. The telephone box stopped shaking and everything was quiet. Tom and Viv looked out of the window. They couldn?t believe their eyes! They were in the middle of a large field. Tom pushed the door and stepped outside.

“This is amazing!” he said. “I think we?ve travelled through time.”

Suddenly some men on horses appeared. They were wearing strange clothes. They saw the children and started riding towards them, shouting.

“Let?s get out of here!” Tom shouted. They ran back inside and closed the door behind

them.

“Those men look like people from the past,” Tom said. “You dialed the number ?1888? for Directory Enquiries. If we dial ?2010?, perhaps we?ll return home.”

Tom dialed the number. He was nervous, however, and dialed ?3010? by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear. “I don?t want to be in the future. I want to go home,” said Viv.

Tom quickly dialed ?2010?. Soon they were back in the shopping centre. Outside, a woman was picking up some shopping that she had dropped.

Tom recognized the woman. “We?re back! Let?s help that woman with her shopping,” he said.

“Thank you. You?re very kind,” the woman replied to Tom?s offer of help.

She turned to look at the children. Tom and Viv jumped in horror. The woman had three eyes…

93. What speech would Tom give in front of the class?

94. Did they know the telephone number of the public library? 95. How did they travel through time to the past?
