Passage One
Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner did not know what to do. The price was reasonable and the food was of good quality, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.
Then the owner thought of an idea and did something to change all that. A few weeks later, his restaurant was always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a man came in with a lady, a smiling waiter would give each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man supplied the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu that he gave to the lady supplied a much higher price. So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous(大方) than he really was.

Passage Three
We were late as usual. My husband had insisted on watering the flowers in the garden by himself, and when he discovered that he couldn't manage he had asked me for help at the last moment. So now we had an hour to get to the airport. Luckily, there were not many cars or buses on the road and we were able to get there just in time. We checked in and went straight to a big hall to wait for our flight to be called.
We waited and waited but no announcement was made. We asked for information and the girl there told us that the plane hadn't even arrived yet. In the end there was another announcement telling us that passengers waiting for Flight LJ108 could get a free meal voucher(凭单) and that the plane hadn't left Spain for technical problems. We thought that meant that it wasn't safe for the plane to fly.
We waited again for a long time until late evening when we were asked to report again. This time we were given free vouchers to spend the night in a nearby hotel. The next morning after a bad night because of all the planes taking off and landing, we reported back to the airport. Guess what had happened while we were asleep! Our plane had arrived and taken off again. All the other passengers had been woken up in the night to catch the plane, but for some reason or other we had been forgotten. You can imagine how we felt! |
