　　“Hello, my friend,” Fred said in a loud voice．“Please come and have a piece of bread．”

　　“Thank you very much．” Johnson got off the donkey and said gladly．” “But I have already had lunch．”

　　“I'm sorry．I'm talking to your donkey, not to you．” Fred said with a smile．

　　Johnson understood at once that the boy was playing a trick on him．He became angry, but he didn't show his anger．He just turned quickly to his donkey, held up the lash(鞭子)and hit it on the back．

　　“Before we set off, I asked if you had fiends in the town．You said again and again that you hadn't．Can you explain why the young man asked you to have the bread, then?”

　　The more the old man said, the less he could control his anger．He finally shouted, “I'll beat you to death if you dare fool me again!”

　　When I was at university (大學(xué)) I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass the exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Tea House than working in the library.

　　Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question we had to write “True” or “False”. While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very calm (鎮(zhèn)靜). Then he told me of his idea.

　　“It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty right to pass the test. I'll take a coin (硬幣) into the room. I haven't studied a Chinese book for months, so I'll toss (擲、扔) the coin. That way, I'm sure I'll get half the questions right.”

　　The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.

　　The next day, Fred saw the Chinese teacher at the school gate. “Oh, good,” he said. “Have you got the results of the test?”

　　The teacher looked at him and smiled. “Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute.”

　　Then he reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it. “I'm terribly sorry, Baines. You failed!”

　　Last week Fred had to go to New York. It was his first time there, and he didn't know his way around the city. He had a meeting at 10 o'clock, and he wanted to be there on time. The meeting was in the Peterson Building on 34th Street, but Fred didn't know where that was. Seeing two men standing on a corner, he asked them.

　　“Excuse me,” he said, “but can you tell me how to get to the Peterson Building on 34th Street?”

　　“Sure,” answered one of them. “You can get there in five minutes. Go to the next corner and turn left. Walk three blocks(街區(qū)) and there you are.”

　　But the other man said, “There's a better way. Go on the bus here at the corner. It stops right near the Peters Building.”

　　“Not Peters,” Fred told him, “Peterson.”

　　Then the first man said, “Oh, that's on East 34th Street, not West 34th. It's quite a distance(距離) from here. You will have to take the subway(地鐵).”

　　But the second man told Fred, “No, don't go by subway. Take the crosstown(穿城而過) bus. It goes to the Peterkin Building.”

　　“Peterson, not Peterkin.” Fred looked at his watch. It was almost ten o'clock. “Thanks a lot.” he said, “I think I'll take a taxi.”
