I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anythingnot even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 39。 You must give up fishing!39。 my friends say.39。 It39。 s a waste of time.39。 But they don39。 t realize one importa nt thing.

I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built during the war, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right. ?飞机正在逐渐把我逼疯。 我住在一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。 机场是许多年前 建的，但由于某种原因当时未能启用。 然而去年机场开始使用了。 有 100 多人肯定是被噪音 逼得已经弃家远去，我是少数留下来的人中的一个。 有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞 机撞倒。 他们曾向我提供一大笔钱让我搬走，但我决定留在这儿。 大家都说我肯定是疯了， 也许他们说的是对的。 Lesson22 A glass envelope 玻璃信封 My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the postoffice. Letters will cost a litt1e more, but they will certainly travel faster. ?我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄姑娘的来信。 去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时， 简把写有她姓名和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子，又将瓶子扔进了大海。 此后她就再没去 想那只瓶子。 但 10 个月以后，她收到了荷兰一位姑娘的来信。 现在这两位姑娘定期通信了。
