Sometimes bad things can change into good ones. Key: 1.× 2.× 3.√ 4.× 5.× 6.√ 7.× 8.√ 7 We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf. It stood outside a furnitureshop. “Buy it, she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack. I’ve always wanted one like that. What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too. As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake? Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officersinside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me. “Right, sir, he said. “Do you need any more help now? I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer, I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live just down the road. He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well, he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was--er, something else. My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a bookshelf, but thanks again. I drove home as fast as I could. 查看更多

  In Western countries, Christmas is usually a time for families to get together, have a big dinner and exchange(交换)presents.In Kirkwall, the capital town of the Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland, Christmas Day is also when about 200 men have a fight over a small ball.They call it a game!

  The ball is called the "Ba".It is made of leather and cork.There are two teams, the "Uppies" and the "Doonies".The Uppies try to get the Ba to touch a wall up the town.The Doonies try to get the Ba down to the sea.This game has been played for more than 150 years and is getting more popular.Whether you are an Uppie or Doonie generally depends on family traditions(传统).Male(Men)tourists can choose any team.The two teams start in the middle of the town.A guest is asked to throw up the Ba at one o’clock in the afternoon.

  The Ba moves either by one team pushing the other or by someone putting it under their jersey(sweater)and running with it.You can kick or throw it but it's too heavy to go far.There is no time limit.The shortest ever game was only a few minutes.However, the longest ever was more than six hours.

  There are no rules and the Ba can go anywhere.The Ba and all its players sometimes pass through somebody's house.Because of this, many shops and homes are protected by barricades.Surprisingly, few people get hurt.There are mostly tourists who get caught in the game when it suddenly moves quickly.There is no referee but the players control each other.If someone is too rough(粗暴), they are told to leave.

  After the game, the winning team chooses a person to keep the Ba.This can often result in arguments and even fights within the same team.When the winner has been decided, many people go to his house for a big celebration afterwards.
