<div><font size="3"> I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film <em>Titanic</em> last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that ticket could be bought at the cinema box office (售票处) in Richland Hill every day between 10:00 and 4:00. Because I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返) trip in 45 minute.</font></div><div><font size="3"> Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip---- so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.</font></div><div><font size="3"> By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. it was not cheap, but I felt it would be worth to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was <u>delighted</u> to see that nobody was waiting in line. But quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"> Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough. What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered a lot because of this. But they never change this way.</font></div><div><font size="3">In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.</font></div><div><font size="3"><span>◆<span> </span></span>Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right ----neither too big nor too small.</font></div><div><font size="3"><span>◆<span> </span></span>Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.</font></div><div><font size="3"><span>◆<span> </span></span>Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.</font></div><div><font size="3"><span>◆<span> </span></span>Hide yourself and watch the monkeys.</font></div><div><font size="3"> As soon as you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.</font></div>
