58 A blessing in disguise?是因祸得福吗？

The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!

据说弗林利小村里有一棵被诅咒的树”。就因为报上提到的这棵树，所以现在来弗林利参观的增加。该树是五十年前种在教堂附近的，但只是近几年才得到了一个坏名声。这是说，如果有人摸了这棵树，谁就要倒霉；如果他摘了一片叶子，他就会死。很多村民相信此树已经害了不少人。人们曾请求教区的牧师叫人把树砍掉，但到目前为止他已经拒绝了。他指出，这棵树砍掉，但到目前为止他已经拒绝了。他指出，这棵树是一个有用的收入来源，因为全国各地的游客都来看这。尽管已说，游客们还是照常摘树叶和把他们的名字刻在树干上。到目前为止，还没有一个人突然死亡！

59 In or out?进来还是出去？

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and dark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.

我们的狗，雷克斯，过去常坐在大门外面，黑暗。每当它想到花园里来就吠叫，直到有人把门打开。由于邻居们对狗叫，我丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来的。雷克斯很快成了开门的专家。然而，当我出去购物的最后一周，我看见他在花

园门口。这次它叫着让人把它放出去！从那时起，他养成了另一个坏习惯。当他从外面把门一打开，就走进花园，等着门关闭。然后他就坐下汪汪叫起来，直到有人把它放出去。这以后他马上把自己放进来，然后又开始叫。昨天，我丈夫把门卸了下来，雷克斯很生气，此后我们再也见不到他。

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 post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

我的女儿，简，从来没有想过会收到一封来自荷兰同龄女孩。去年，当我们横渡英吉利海峡时，简把一张写有姓名和地址的纸放进一个瓶子。她把瓶子扔到海里。她再也没有想过它，但是十个月后，她收到了一封来自荷兰的女孩。现在两个女孩经常给对方写信。然而，他们还是决定利用邮局。这样会稍微多花点钱，但肯定是快得多。
