W: I hope I’m not interrupting your work, Paul. You must be very busy at this time of the day. M: Not at all. Come in, Come in, Mrs. Finch. I’m just tasting a few of the dishes we’ll be serving this rooming. W: That looks interesting. What exactly is it M: That one is fish—in a special sauce. One of my new creations, actually. W: I’m looking forward to trying it.M: I do hope you’ve enjoyed your stay with us. W: Very much, indeed. We both find it very relaxing here. M: Well, I’m sure there’s lots more you’d like to ask, so, please go ahead. W: Thanks. I notice that you have a sort of team of helpers. How do you organize who does that Surely, it’s difficult with so many talented people M: Everyone contributes ideas, of course, and to a certain extant shares in the decision-making. We all have our different specialties and different ways of doing things, but that’s a great advantage in a place like this. If there is any disagreement, I have the final word. After all, I own the business and I’m the boss. But it happens rarely. I’m glad to say. W: Have you had them with you for long M: Net all of them, no. Alan’s been with me for about five years. I used to have a restaurant on the east coast. Then I got the offer to do a lecture tour of Australia and New Zealand, you know, with practical demonstrations, so I sold the business, and then Alan and I looked a- round for two young chefs to take with us. Tom and Martin have been working for me ever since. Chefs are not a problem, but I’m having a lot of trouble at the moment finding good, reliable domestic staff. W: How long did the tour last M: We were away for over two years in the end because more and more organizations wanted to see the show, and one thing led to another. W: Had you been considering this present venture for long M: For some time, yes. During the tour I began to think it might be interesting to combine the show idea with a permanent establishment, and so here we are. W: And what made you choose this particular sport M: Quite a few people have been surprised-you’re not the first. It does seem a bit out of the way, I know, but I didn’t want to start up in London. There’s far too much competition. Then I decided to go for a different type of client altogether-the sort of person who wants to get away from it all; who loves peace and quiet, and beautiful scenery but also appreciates good food. When I saw the farmhouse I couldn’t resist it. I was brought up not far from here so everything just fell into place. W: To go back to the food, Paul. Do you have a large selection of dishes to choose from or are you always looking for new ideas M: Both. A lot of the dishes had already been created on the tour, but I encourage my staff to experiment whenever possible. I mean I can’t keep serving the same dishes. The people who come here expect something unusual at every course, and some guests, I hope, will want to return. W: I know two who certainly will. M: It’s very kind of you to say so. Is there anything you’d like to know W: As a matter of fact, there is. Your grapefruit and ginger marmalade tasted delicious. Could you possibly give me the recipe M: It isn’t really my secret to give. It belongs to Alan, but I’m sure if you ask him he’ll be glad to oblige you — as long as you promise not to print it in your magazine. Paul feels all right keeping serving the same dishes.

What’s the man’s attitude toward the TV now()
Throughout history, people have been the victims of pickpockets. Today, pickpocketing is one of the most rapidly increasing crimes. Pickpockets are increasing in number and developing better methods to apply their skill. Approximately, one million Americans lose money to pick- pockets every year, and no one is really safe from a skilled pickpocket. His victims, or "marks" as they are called, can be rich or poor, young or old. During the 18th century, pickpockets were hanged in England. Large crowds of people would gather to watch the hanging which was supposed to be a warning to other pickpockets. However, in time the practice was continued. The reason: while people were concentratively watching the hanging of a pickpocket other pickpockets skillfully stole the money of the spectators! Police officials say that most efficient pickpockets come from South America. Many of these expert pickpockets are trained in special schools called "Jingle Bell School". A pickpocket graduates from a J. B. S. when he is able to steal a wallet from a dressed dummy (mannequin) that has bells inside its pockets. Even the most well-dressed, respectable person may he a pickpocket. Some of the favorite places of pickpockets are banks, airports, racetracks, supermarkets, elevators, and train and bus stations. Usually a pickpocket will work with another pickpocket as his partner; Another kind of pickpocket works outside or inside bars and specializes in stealing from persons who have had too much alcohol to drink. The pickpocket that specialized in stealing from women is called a "purse snatcher". To avoid being the victim of a pickpocket, it is important to be very cautious and alert when in the midst of large gatherings of people. Where is the least likely place for pickpocketing()

Humanity’s primal (原始的) efforts to systematize the concepts of size, shapes, and number are usually regarded as the earliest mathematics. However, the concept of number and the counting process developed so long (67) the time of recorded history (there is archaeological (68) that counting was employed by humans as far back as 50,000 years ago) that the (69) of this development is largely conjectural (好推测的). Imaging how it probably came (70) is not difficult. The argument that humans, (71) in prehistoric times, had some number sense, at least (72) the extent of recognizing the concepts of more and less when some objects were (73) to or taken away from a small group, seems fair, for studies have shown that some animal possesses such a (74) . With the (75) evolution of society, simple counting became necessary. A tribe had to know how many members it had and how many enemies, and shepherd needed to know (76) the flock of sheep was decreasing in size. Probably the earliest way of keeping a count was by some simple tally (计算, 记录) method, (77) the principle of one-to-one corre-spondence. In (78) a count of sheep, for example, one finger per sheep could be (79) . Counts could also be (80) by making scratches in the dirt or on a stone, by cutting notches in a piece of wood, or by tying knots in a string. (81) , perhaps later, an assortment of vocal (82) was developed as a word tally against the number of objects in, a small group. And (83) later, with the development of writing, a set of (84) was invented to stand for these numbers. Such an imagined development is (85) by reports of anthropologists in their studies of present-day societies that are (86) to be similar to those of early humans.
