'The play maybegin at any moment,' I said. 'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.

I hurried to theticket-office. 'May I have two tickets please ?' I asked. 'I'm sorry, we'vesold out,' the girl said.

'What a pity!'Susan exclaimed.

Just then, a manhurried to the ticket-office. 'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.'Certainly,' the girl said.

I went back to theticket-office at once.

'Could I havethose two tickets please ?' I asked.

'Certainly, 'thegirl said, 'but they are for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still wantthem?

'I might as wellhave them,' I said sadly.

知识笔记：

单词：1 、Sold out：卖光了，2、What a pity!：真可惜！，3、exclaimed：惊呼，

音标：/əʊ/ 口半开半合，舌后微升，过渡成双唇成圆形，发“欧”之长音。是字母o、oa和oe在单词中的发音。

练习感悟： 情绪时时刻刻都被惰性侵蚀着，总想着要放松一下，玩一下，这确实很可怕。
