答案解析

Younger people and older people do not always agree with each other.
They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one spe-cial program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace.
Each summer,200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not only to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours every day. And people are free on week-ends, too. During the free hours some teenagers learn photography or paint-ing. Others sit around talking or singing. Each teenager has his own way to spend the free time.
It is necessary to make rules when people live together. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. When someone breaks the rule, the group will discuss the problem. They will ask "Why did it happen?", "What should we do about it?"
After the program, one of the teenagers told us that, "You stop think-ing only about yourself. You begin to think about the whole group. That' s what I' ve learnt from this program. "

An embarrassing experience
It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness,"Yes, hundreds of times. "
"And you have nothing to declare?"
"Nothing. "
"How long have you been out of this country?"
"About three months. "
"And during that time you have acquired nothing?"
"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "
He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.
"Where did you get that watch?"
I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?"
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.

A．In the early morning．
