A letter of reply is sometimes a most treasured thing. Here is a story that tells about this common and natural human feeling.

The busiest woman in Labrador during one bitter cold Christmas not very long ago, was an Australian nurse named Kate Austen. But Nurse Austen was not too busy to write with a long, friendly letter for every gift of food or clothing received for poor villagers in the north of Australian. Among the gifts was a box of knittings (毛線編織品) for children, knitted and sent by a woman in Toronto.

Nurse Austen, was busy, and not feeling too well that winter. She could have written just ordinary routine notes of acknowledgement. But that was not her way. She sat down and wrote the woman in Toronto a real letter telling all about the village, and the names of the children who were wearing the knitted gloves and caps, and what they said when they got them, and how they looked when they wore them. She wanted the woman who had knitted and sent all those lovely knittings “to see how much happiness and warmth she had created.” Not long after, she received the following answer from Canada.

Dear Miss Austen,

Your letter made me happy. I did not expect such a full return, I am eighty years old, and I am blind. There is little I can do expect knit, and that is why I knit so many caps and sweaters scarves. For sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or book as I could collect. But never before in all that time have I had a personal letter picturing the village and telling me who is wearing the clothing and what they said. I did not suppose that ever in my lifetime I should receive a letter like that. My God bless you.

Sincerely yours, Laura N. Russell

試題分析:回信有時是很珍貴的。這里有一個故事講述了人類的這種普遍自然的感情。

不久以前一個寒冷的圣誕節(jié),護士凱特?奧斯汀在寫一封封長長的、親切的信,感謝為這個地處北澳大利亞邊區(qū)荒涼、貧困的村落寄來食品和衣服的每一位捐助者。在這些寄來的東西中,有一箱毛線編織品,是多倫多的一位婦女親手給孩子們織的。她坐下來好好地寫了一封信,告訴加拿大的那位婦女村里的情況,哪些孩子戴上了寄來的毛線手套和帽子,以及他們戴上新手套和新帽子時說的高興話和那種快活的樣子。奧斯汀要讓那位親手編織了這些可愛的毛線織物并把它們寄來的婦女“知道她創(chuàng)造了多少幸福和溫暖”。不久,她收到了這封來自加拿大的回信。來信表示了對奧斯汀的感謝,同時表明她捐贈的東西很多,已分發(fā)到敘利亞,或亞美尼亞,或長江上游地區(qū)?墒菑膩頉]有人給她寫過一封親筆信,給她描述一些村里的事,告訴她誰穿上了寄去的衣服,以及他們說了些什么。她萬萬沒有想到,在她的一生中竟會收到一封如此珍貴的回信。

There was once a farmer who had a fine olive orchard(橄欖果園). He was hard-working, but his three sons hated farm work. When the farmer was dying, he called the three sons to him and said, "My sons, there is a pot (罐子) of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you want it."

The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the gold was hidden; but he would tell them nothing more.

After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold; since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money.

They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. But no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it. The three sons were rather disappointed to have all their work for nothing.

The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard bore more fruit than they had ever given; when it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.

And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said, "There is gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you want it."
