　　The good man believed the tiger. He 4 the door of the cage. The tiger jumped out. “How stupid you are,” the tiger 5 , “Now I am going to eat you.” “Wait!” the man cried. “It's wrong for you to eat me. Let us ask others what they think.” “You may ask 6 others,” the tiger said.

　　The good man asked a tree. The tree said, “I give shade. Yet I am cut down. Let the tiger eat 7 .” Next, the good man asked a bird. The bird said, “I hurt no one. Yet people hunt and kill me. Let the tiger eat you.” For the last time the good man asked the road. The road said, “I don't care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too well 8 me. Yet all day long people step on the road without even a ‘thank you’.”

　　The tiger was ready to eat the good man. 9 a dog came by. “What 10 ?” asked the dog. The man told the dog the whole story. “I don't understand,” said the dog. “The tiger wants to eat you because you put him in the cage” “No, no,” said the man. “ 11 put him in a cage.” “Oh,” the dog said, “he is going to eat you because you don't have a cage.” “Stupid dog!” the tiger said, “ 12 you understand? I was in the cage. This man let me out.” “Oh, I see,” the dog said. “When the man was in the cage, you let him out.” “I was in the cage!” the tiger cried. “Like this!” with that, he jumped back into the cage. 13 , the dog closed the door of the cage. Oh, the dog laughed.

　　The good man said, “ 14 I understand!” The good man and the dog walked off and the tiger looked sad. If he waited long enough, perhaps, 15 good man would come by.

December 25, 2006          Dear Rose,          How are you?          I like your programmes very much. They're very interesting and I can learn a lot from them. I like travelling and I have won a free four-week trip to England, but I know little about the British way of life. Would you please write to tell me something about the British meals?          Thank you.                                                                                                                                   Yours,                                                                                                                                 Wang Lin                                                                                                                         January 1, 2007          Dear Wang Lin,         It's very helpful to know something about the British meals before travelling. In many English houses, people eat four meals a day. They are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.         Breakfast takes place at any time from 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning. They usually have eggs, bread with butter, cheese and so on. English people drink tea or coffee at breakfast. Lunch comes at one o'clock. It can be a hamburger or a three-course (三道菜) meal. Afternoon tea is between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm. Dinner begins at about half past seven. The first course is soup. The next is often meat or fish with vegetables. Then come fruits of different kinds: apples, pears, bananas and so on. But not all English people eat like that. Some of them have their dinner in the middle of the day. Their meals are breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. And all these meals are usually simple.          Wish you a good time in England!                                                                                                                                  Yours,                                                                                                                                   Rose
