Tom Jenkins enjoyed fishing and spent most of his time by the river.

He enjoyed being in the fresh air and being on his own. There was no one to trouble him and the time passed happily for him.

Unluckily, he was not a very good fisherman. He either fished in the wrong place, used the wrong bait(魚餌)or pulled in his line too quickly. Whatever the reason was, he never caught anything big enough to eat.

However, he did not like to admit this to his wife. He thought she would complain if she knew he was wasting his time. She would try to stop him from going fishing. She might even make him take her shopping. It was very important to Tom, therefore, that she thought he was a good fisherman.

For this reason, on the way home from the river he always visited the local fish shop and bought something. Then he told his wife he had caught it and they had a good fish for their dinner.

One evening, after yet another day's unsuccessful fishing, Tom stopped at the fish shop as usual on his way home. "I'll have three perch(鱸魚), please," he said to the shopkeeper. "And throw them to me, as usual, so I can tell my wife I caught them."

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "I suggest you take a nice salmon(鮭魚)instead."

"Oh why?"

"Your wife came in an hour ago and said, "When Tom comes in, make sure he 'catches' a salmon."

【題目】 My 14 year - old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second - hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $ 28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well.

John wore the coat to school the next day. After he came home, I asked, “Did the kids like your coat?” “They love it,” he said with a big grin. Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove.

One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.

【題目】 Cowboy hats are famous for their high crowns and wide brims. Cowboys like wearing the hats very much. Why do cowboys wear hats? Here's a brief history of the cowboy hat which should answer your question!

John Stetson, a young hat maker from New jersey, created the cowboy hat. Stetson happened to be on a trip, hunting for beavers (海貍). On this trip he used the beaver fur to make a hat. On the way he came across a cowboy who admired the hat and paid Stetson $5 for it. Ever since then, cowboys have been wearing "Stetsons" and similarly designed hats.

Why did cowboys like the Stetson hat so much? Maybe for the following reasons.

To protect against the weather. The wide brim of the hat keeps the sun light out of the eyes. It also helps to protect the face and neck from sunburn. The tall crown of the hat provided a pocket of air as insulation (隔離) to help keep heat in winter. The animal-fur felt hats are the most waterproot. It acts like an umbrella keeping the rain, and snow out of the face.

Cowboys sleeping out in the open air could sometimes use their hats to shut out any light if they happened to be catching some shut eye during the day. They could even make a pillow out of their hat when sleeping out on the ground at night. Sometimes, cowboy hats were used as water buckets () to feed horses if they were weaved (編織) tightly enough!

Many people in the West wear cowboy hats today because it can look pretty! For some this is yet another benefit to wearing the hat, but for others this is the only reason for wearing it. And why not? Just as you don't have to be a baseball player to wear a baseball cap, you don't need to be a cowboy to enjoy wearing a cowboy hat.
