Where Is God?

 

A couple had two little boys, aged 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble. And their parents knew that. If any mischief (恶作剧) occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.

The boys’ mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining (管教)children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly(严厉地), "Where is God?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response(回答), sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God!!?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed(吼叫), "WHERE IS GOD!?”’

The boy screamed and bolted(逃跑) from the room, ran directly home and dove(扑,冲) into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time, dude. God is missing – and they think WE did it!"

Tie a knot ()in the equator(赤道)?

 

When Ted Hughes finished training college, he became a teacher in a primary school. His favorite subject was geography, because he had always wanted to travel, and he studied various parts of the world so that he could feel as if he knew them a little.

Ted liked children, and was always ready to have a joke with them, so they learnt a lot from him while at the same time having fun.

One September, he was having his first lesson with a class of boys and girls. And to start with he decided to ask them some general questions, so that he could see how much they already knew. He found that this was about the average for their age, and that some of the boys and girls had obviously heard that he enjoyed a joke and were ready to have some fun with him

"Where's Turkey"" Ted asked the first boy.

”Turkey, sir?" the boy answered. "You'll find it on the Christmas dinner table, sir"

”Very funny!" said Ted with a smile, while the class laughed loudly.

"Do you really know where it is?"

The boy did, in fact, know. "Part of it is in Southeast Europe and part in Asia, sir," he said.

"Good." said Ted. The next few pupils also had funny answers to Ted's questions. But they all knew the correct answers too.

Ted knew that there was one girl in the class who was very clever. She had entered the school on a scholarship that term, and it was her he turned to next.

"Well," he said, "now let's see if there's at least one of you who doesn't talk nonsense(废话)‘. What is the equator’'"

"It's an imaginary line drawn round the earth equally distant from the North Pole and the South Pole, sir," the girl answered at once.

"Good," Ted said. "Very good." But it sounded to him as if the girl had learnt this by heart, so he asked her another question to see whether he was right or not.

"Now, do you really know what that means'” he asked. "Could you, for example, tie a knot in the equator?"

The class laughed, but she answered, "Yes, sir"

"Oh, really'" Ted said with a smile.

"Yes, sir," the girl said "As the equator's an imaginary line, you could tie an imaginary knot in it."

This time Ted joined happily m the class's loud laughter.

The holiday flight

I am not a good traveler. I suffer from car sickness, sea sickness and air sickness. Sometimes I feel ill when I am riding a bicycle! Therefore I was hesitant before I accepted an invitation from my sister, Lucy, to join her for a holiday in Hawaii. The problem was the six hour flight from Tokyo. On the other hand, I had not seen Lucy for nearly two years, and a holiday in Hawaii was very attractive.(有吸引力的)

We met up in Narita Airport. The flight took off, and I experienced the usual queasy(想呕吐的) feeling in my stomach. I had taken some travel sickness pills but these never seem to do the ticket for me. I missed lunch and settled into my seat to try to sleep.

About four hours into the flight, I was woken by some violent bouncing(弹起的动作). The flight attendants were hurrying through the plane, telling people to sit down quickly and to fasten their seatbelts. Then suddenly the plane seemed to fall out of the sky. We must have dropped several thousand metres. I was thrown into the air before my seatbelt pulled me back again. The cabin lights went out and many people started screaming.

It seemed like ages, but was probably only few seconds before the plane was under control again.

There were still some bumps, but nothing as bad as before. My heart was pounding and I was very, very sick..

A few minutes later, the pilot’s calm voice came over the intercom. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, “I am afraid we hit some unexpected and severe turbulence(气流). We shall continue to Honolulu and expect to arrive there on schedule(按时) in a little over one hour’s time. Please keep your seatbelts fastened at all times for the rest of the flight.”

The history of the yo-yo

The yo-yo was first played in China, around three thousand years ago. The same principles of the hobby are found in the performances of acrobats(杂技演员) in modern China., where they spin pieces of wood on a string.

The hobby was popular in ancient Greece. A vase dating back to 500 BC has been found with a picture of a boy playing with a yo-yo on it. Also, a museum in Athens has a yo-yo from that time.

In the Philippines, around five hundred years ago, hunters threw rocks at wild animals to try to kill them. Each rock was attached to a string, which the hunter would pull to get the rock back. The  name “yo-yo” come from the Philippines. It means “come-come”.

In the twentieth century, people even played with a yo-yo in space. In 1985, astronauts on the Space Shuttle found that the yo-yo did not spin in the same way as on earth, because of the lack of gravity.(234 words)
