Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture(家具)and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.It was very difficult to get tickets for h

27、er show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painters bill (账单)

28、. At the bottom of it were these words: “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,” with this note: “After 5 p.m., I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.” 56.

34、nch drink wine every day. The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep mea

35、t because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish(生鱼). So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it.
