§ Lesson 19 A very dear cat 一只贵重的宝贝猫

Q：Why was Rastus ‘very dear’ in more ways than one?

Kidnappers arerarely interested in Animals, but they recently took considerable interest inMrs Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady,hasshared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus leads anorderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always homeby seven o'clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs Ramsay gotvery worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.

Three day afterRastus' disappearance, Mrs Ramsay received an anonymous letter. The writerstated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if MrsRamsay paid a ransom of &1000. Mrs Ramsay was instructed to place the moneyin a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At first, she decided togo to the police, but fearing that she would never see Rastus again --theletter had made that quite clear--she changed her mind. She drew &1000 fromher bank and followed the kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the boxhad disappeared but Mrs Ramsay was sure that the kidnapper would keep his word.Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He lookedvery well, though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk.The police were astounded when Mrs Ramsay told them what she had done. Sheexplained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, hewas dear in more ways than one!

§ Lesson 20 Pioneer pilots 飞行员的先驱

Q：What was the name of the first plane to fly across theEnglish Channel?

In 1908 Lord

Northcliffe offered a prize of ￡1000 to the first man who would fly acrossthe English Channel. Over a year passed before the first attempt was made. OnJuly 19th, 1909, in the early morning, Hubert Latham took off from the Frenchcoast in his plane the 'Antoinette IV'. He had travelled only seven milesacross the Channel when his engine failed and he was forced to land on the sea.The 'Antoinette' floated on the water until Latham was picked up by a ship.

Two days later,Louis Bleriot arrived near Calais with a plane called 'No. XI'. Bleriot hadbeen making planes since 1905 and this was his latest model. A week before, hehad completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twenty-sixmiles. Latham, however did not give up easily. He, too, arrived near Calais onthe same day with a new 'Antonette'. It looks as if there would be an excitingrace across the Channel. Both planes were going to take off on July 25th, butLatham failed to get up early enough. After making a short test flight at 4.15a.m., Bleriot set off half an hour later. His great flight lasted thirty sevenminutes. When he landed near Dover, the first person to greet him was a localpoliceman. Latham made another attempt a week later and got within half a mileof Dover, but he was unlucky again. His engine failed and he landed on the seafor the second time.

[endif]§ Lesson 21 Daniel Mendoza 丹尼尔·门多萨

Listen to the tapethen answer the question below.

How many unsucessfulattempts did Mendoza make before becoming Champion of all England?

[if !vml][endif]Boxing matches were very popular in Englandtwo hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for Prizemoney. Because of this, they were known as 'prizefighters'. However, boxing wasvery crude, for there were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriouslyinjured or even killed during a match.

One of the mostcolourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza who was born in 1764.The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis of Queensberrydrew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prizefighter,Mendoza did much to change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he broughtscience to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He wasadored by rich and poor alike.

Mendoza rose tofame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. Thisattracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminentboxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick tolearn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned againsthim. The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument couldonly be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton where both men foughtfor an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he wasdefeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost fora second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beatHumphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highlysuccessful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earnedenormous sums of money and was paid as much as &100 for a single appear-

ance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After hewas defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. Hewas sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.

参考译文

两百年前，拳击比赛在英国非常盛行。当时，拳击手们不戴手套，为争夺奖金而搏斗。因此，他们被称作“职业拳击手”。不过，拳击是十分野蛮的，因为当时没有任何比赛规则，职业拳击手有可能在比赛中受重伤，甚至丧命。

拳击史上最引人注目的人物之一是丹尼尔.门多萨，他生于1764年。1860年昆斯伯里侯爵第一次为拳击比赛制定了规则，拳击比赛这才用上了手套。虽然门多萨严格来讲不过是个职业拳击手，但在把这种粗野的拳击变成一种体育运动方面，他作出了重大贡献。是他把科学引进了这项运动。门多萨在的全盛时期深受大家欢迎，无论是富人还是穷人都对他祟拜备至。

门多萨在14岁时参加一场拳击赛后一举成名。这引起当时英国拳坛名将理查德.汉弗莱斯的注意。他主动提出教授门多萨，而年少的门多萨一学就会。事实上，门多萨不久便名声大振，致使汉弗莱斯与他反目为敌。两个人争吵不休，显而易见，只有较量一番才能解决问题。于是两人在斯蒂尔顿设下赛场，厮打了一个小时。公众把大笔赌注下到了门多萨身上，但他却输了。后来，门多萨与汉弗莱斯再次在拳击场上较量，门多萨又输了一场。直到1790年他们第3次对垒，门多萨才终于击败汉弗莱斯，成了全英拳击冠军。同时，他建立了一所拳击学校，办得很成功，连拜伦勋爵也成了他的学生。门多萨挣来大笔大笔的钱，一次出场费就多可达100英镑。尽管收入不少，但他挥霍无度，经常债台高筑。他在被一个叫杰克逊绅士的拳击手击败后很快被遗忘。他因无力还债而被捕入狱，最后于1836年在贫困中死去。
