英文笑话

小明上英文课时跟老师说:May I go to the washing room? 老师说:Go ahead. 小明就坐了下来。

过了一会儿,小明又跟老师说:May I go to the...? 老师说:Go ahead. 小明又坐了下来。

他旁边的同学忍不住问:你不是跟老师说要上厕所吗?怎么不去?

小明说:你没听老师说Go ahead「去你个头」啊!

"I can always tell a graduate class from an undergraduate class," observed the instructor in one of my graduate engineering courses at California State University in Los Angeles. "When I say, 'Good afternoon,' the undergraduates respond, 'Good afternoon." But the graduate students just write it down."

“研究生班和本科生很容易就能区别开来,”在洛杉矶加利福利亚州立大学给我们研究生上工程学课的老师如此说。

“我说?下午好?,本科生们回答说?下午好?。研究生们则把我说的话记在笔记本上。”

A little girl is sitting on her grandpa?s lap and studying the wrinkles on his old face. She gets up the nerve to rub her fingers over the wrinkles. Then she touches her own face and looks more puzzled.

Finally the little girl asks, “Grandpa, did God make you?”

“He sure did honey, a long time ago,” replies her grandpa.

“Well, did God make me?” asks the little girl.

“Yes, He did, and that wasn?t too long ago,” answers her grandpa.

“Boy,” says the little girl, “He?s sure doing a lot better job these days, isn?t He?” On the first day of college, the dean addressed the students, pointing out some of the rules:

“The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male

dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time. Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you $180. Are there any questions?”

One student raised his hand and asked, “How much for a season pass?”

[笑话] 这正是我想要知道的What I want

A: We have got a new dog, would you like to come around and play with him? B: Well, I don't know. Does he bite?

A: That's what I want to find out.

Customer: Waiter, I've only got one piece of meat in my dish.

Waiter: Just a moment, sir, and I'll cut it in two.

Teacher: Walter, why don't you wash your face? I can see what you had for breakfast this morning.

Walter: What was it?

Teacher: Eggs.

Walter: Wrong. That was yesterday.

A

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that rage, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”

How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.

Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?

A single teacher would typically(典型地) have students in the first through eighth grades, and she taught them all. The number of students in the front, while the oldest students sat in the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history, and geography. Students memorized(记忆) and retold their lessons.

The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own. The teacher’s desk stood on a raised platform(讲台) at the front of the room, however, and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating. The bathroom was outside in an outhouse.

In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century. For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned more than a hundred years ago.

What else has changed about school since the 19th century? For more information, please visit our website: www. Locallygacy.com.

A great way for teens to cool off during the summer is at water parks. If you live near a water park, you might think about getting a season pass. This way you can go as often as you like.

Check to see if there are any water parks around you. Many are indoor facilities. So even if it isn’t warm enough where you live to swim outdoors, you can enjoy swimming in a temperature controlled area.

The prices are usually good. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $5. Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money. Older teens shouldn’t have much trouble finding jobs.

An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business. You can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers, etc.

Being that it’s summer, many people go on vacation and could use someone to look after their houses while they’re away. You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.

Teens love freedom. Sure you would like to get to such places as the small, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Check to see if your area has one for you teens.

Such a pass costs only $10 for the whole summer. The price is reasonable(合乎情理的) and also your parents don’t have to always drive.

56. Who is the text written for?

A. Teachers B. Parents C. Teens D. Travelers

57. What is NOT mentioned as a part tome job for teens?

A. Washing cars B. Feeding cats C. Walking dogs D. Watering flowers

58. If Sally goes to Water World with two friends, they should pay________.

A. $5 B. $10 C. $15 D. $20

59. A summer bus pass is helpful for teens to ______.

A. find part time jobs B. go out for fun

C. go to summer classes D. do outdoor sports

60. What’s the text mainly about?

A. Part time jobs B. A summer pass

C. Water park swimming D. Things to do in summer

Your parents might not realize how important their health is to you. Now it’s your chance to let them know!

Think about it before starting.

Before you talk with your parents, it helps to get clear on what you want them to do. __61__ Get more exercise? Get more sleep? If you want a parent to lose weight, you’d better find out the disadvantage of being heavy and how great they will feel after eating healthy food or exercising more.

___62_____

Pick a moment when everyone’s relaxed and there’s time to talk. Say something like: “Dad, I care about your health and I worry you’re so busy that you don’t have time for exercise.” Let parents know you are willing to make the change yourself. For example, say you’d be willing to walk together after dinner.

Come up with a plan together

Has your mom or dad agreed to your ideas? Well done! Let’s say the change your mom or dad agreed to is eating healthier food.__63_____ Examples are: I’ll eat five fruits every day. I’ll eat breakfast every morning.

Show your encouragement and understanding

It’s normal if your parents fail at first. If parents want to give up, encourage them to keep going. If you’re making a change together, you can say, “Well, I’m sorry. Let’s start fresh and go on with our plan tomorrow.” ___64______ Let your parents know you love and care about them for what they’re doing and that it means a lot to you.

What if a parent says “No”?

If parents don’t follow you ideas, ask them(gently): “Could you at least think about it for me ?” __65______How many times have you pushed back on something they asked you to do, but then later thought more about it?

Soon you’ll be grown and out of the house. Here’s your chance to set your parents on the right way. 根据材料内容,选出最佳选项。

A. Then give them a little time to consider.

B. Do you want a parent to eat better?

C. Work together to plan what they and you will do/

D. Offer your praise!

E. Talk to parents the same way you’d like them to talk to you.

篇三:英语新闻欧盟境内苹果产品两周内不喜欢可退货

英语新闻:欧盟境内苹果产品两周内不喜欢可退货

Next time you buy an app that you realize you don?t like, oryou're not a fan of a book you've just purchased, Apple will giveyou your money back.

以后如果不喜欢已购买的app或是书籍,苹果可退款。

Previously, refunds were made on a case-by-case basis andoften only with good reason, but the latest update meanscustomers don?t even have to explain why they want theirmoney back.

之前,退款仅限于个别案例,需要非常充分的理由。而最新规定意味着顾客无需解释原因就可获得退款。

All cancellations must be made in writing, within 14 days, and the updates only apply to customersin the EU.

退款必须于14天内书面申请,此项新规定只适用于欧盟顾客。

The updates came into effect on 16 December and have been made to comply with the mostrecent EU directive on consumer rights.

这项新规于12月16日开始实行,旨在与欧盟最新颁布的消费者权益法令保持一致。

This directive was passed in June and was designed to replace the previous consumer rightsdirective for customers across the union.

该指令于6月通过,代替之前的消费者权益法令。

Under the original directive, people who bought items online, on the phone, or by mail order, hada seven-day ?cooling off period? to decide if they wanted to keep or return the items.

最初的消费者权益法令规定,通过网络、手机购买或邮购商品的用户都有七天的“冷静期”来决定是否退货。

The new directive extends this to 14 calendar days.

新法令将期限延长至14天。

This means consumers can legally return the goods, for whatever reason, if they change theirminds.

这意味着,不论顾客出于何种原因改变了想法,他们的退货要求都是合理的。

The withdrawal period starts from the moment the user receives the goods, rather than when thepurchase is completed - which was previously the case.

退货期限从顾客收到商品算起,而之前的规定是从购买商品开始。

As Apple?s new terms explain:

?If you choose to cancel your order, you may do so within 14 daysfrom when you received your receipt without giving any reason.

苹果新规定:“如果你希望放弃所购买的商品,必须于收到商品起14天内做出决定,而无需提供理由。

?To cancel your order, you must inform us of your decision.?

如果决定放弃购买,请通知我们。

An exception is iTunes gift cards that have been redeemed.

但已兑换的ITunes礼品卡除外。

?To ensure immediate processing we recommend you use Report a Problem to cancel all items withthe exception of iTunes Match, Season Pass, Multi-Pass and, unless purchased

from a third partyor redeemed, iTunes Gifts and Allowances, which can be cancelled by contacting iTunes Support,?continued the terms.

条款还规定:“为了确保立即处理退款,建议您使用问题反馈单申请退还所有商品,

ITunesMatch、优惠套装和非从第三方处购买或是兑换得到的ITunes礼品和红包除外,这些商品可联系ITunes服务部申请退还”。

Once the cancellation notice has been sent and acknowledged, Apple will reimburse the customer?no later than 14 days? from the day on which it received the notice.

一旦顾客确认已发出取消购买的通知后,苹果公司将于收到通知起14天内予以退款。 文章出处:/html/dailyfocus/kaleidoscope/20150105/94981.html。

He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that rage, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”

How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they always stuck right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.

Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?
