Mr. White works in an office. He’s able and can easily deal with all kinds of matters.    60   . Of course he’s often busy and has no time to do the housework. His wife does all at home.
Last Friday, their daughter was hurt in a traffic accident and had to be in hospital. Mrs. White had to look after her there and she couldn’t go home to take care of the house and her husband. When Mr. White was at home alone, he never cooked meals.    61   .
Yesterday morning, before Mr. White got up, the telephone rang.    62   . His friend told him to write down an important telephone number. But he could find neither a pen nor a piece of paper. At this moment, he found there was much dust (灰尘) on the table and he wrote the number on it with his forefinger (食指).    63   . In the afternoon, his wife came back to look for a sweater for her daughter. When Mr. White returned from work and saw his wife cleaning the table,  he rushed to her while shouting, “Stop!” But it was too late!

Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.

    He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would .a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆)along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day 1 will go there and see this wonderful place.”

    One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.

    As the afternoon went on, he began to know how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch (门廊).As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.
