Lesson 41 Do you call that a hat?

'Do you call that a hat ?' I said to my wife. 'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered.' I need not remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.' 'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse !

Lesson 42 Not very musical

As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake-charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!

练习感悟：对于读的和原文一样长我现在能做到慢一秒或者正好或者快一秒，有时候这个条件很快达到，我还去试着能不能再读好一点。或者别快也别慢就正好。还是越来越有信心了。
