16、tion of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summers road trip. As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip, I came across a book Jim Trelease

17、s The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem. I thought. So I put Roald dahls James and the Giant Peach into my bag.

18、r several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen. We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawlss Summer of the Mo

19、nkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach, We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (恢复）electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip.

20、 He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car.” Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And Im beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a littl

24、British-and especially the English-are bad at complaining. Because of British politeness rules, according to which conflict should be avoided, people either just do not complain, or sometimes bottle it up and then outpour it in another way in other unimportant situations. In fact, there is a TV prog

25、ramme which shows the British in typical situations where they would be perfectly reasonable in complaining, but they dont. In one scene, a woman reads a newspaper over peoples shoulders and the people say nothing or look embarrassed.The British are also well-known for putting up with bad service ev
