M: You were going to tell a story about how you came to Melbourne and you walked in to this pub for the first time.
W: My first experience of that kind of separation of men and women, which I never had any understanding about...I never knew about that...and my first experience was in Melbourne. Down on the corner was this pub and I am going to go in with the boys and have a beer and then I thought, imagine all the girls. There are no girls here. There are only men. Where are all the girls? Well, women are not allowed in this bar here. It's only men.
M: Public bar...the women and children used to sit in the Ladies' Lounge. It was so awfully ugly, right? And unappetizing. Bad light and totally ugly, right? So no woman with respect for herself would sit in there...
W: All right and here comes then Germaine Greer...arrives...some years later.., she arrives on the scene. And the next time I visit a pub was in Esk and two women walked into the public bar and said "we would like a beer" and they can't get served in that bar and they said "no, we are not going to move" and there were a lot of things about police and all sorts of things coming in to it and it was...in the newspaper.
M: And they chained themselves to the bar, didn't they? Oh, that was in Coronation Drive, Regatta Hotel.
W: Yeah, well, they did it up in Esk too. It was on then.
M: Right, she chained herself to the Regatta Hotel bar.
W: The Regatta Hotel bar. That's famous.
M: I wonder if she's still around.
W: Anyhow...But that was just a talk.
M: No, but that's absolutely right. And that was in 1972.
W: But it was that type of thing.
M: It's only bloody...sorry...more than 30 years ago...

In the playground Bob showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked love ly. I wished I had been the one to sit by the table. It was really a beautiful watch, gold by the look of it. The headmaster came outside then, and the doctor was with him. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a while the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.
The headmaster said, "I've got a little job for boys. This doctor, who was giving us a talk just now, has lost his watch in the playground. It happened before, he says- it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you? See if you're clever enough to find it. I promise that the boy who does so will get a useful reward."
Of course, Bob was not going to miss a chance like that. He's just about the luckiest boy in the school rewards just drop into his hands. We all walked about the playground, looking here and there for the watch. And I wasn't at all surprised when Bob bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the doctor.
"Where are you going?" I called out, though I knew very well where he was going. The next minute there was Bob, all smiles, handing over the watch to the old doctor and hanging about for the reward.
But the doctor did not seem at all pleased. In fact he looked quite ready to thrust (插入) a knife in Bob's heart-until the headmaster burst out laughing. Bob told me later the old man hadn't even said "Thank you" for the watch.
The thing that puzzled us most of all was that Bob didn't get any reward. When he mentioned to the headmaster about k, the old man said, "Ah, yes, we mustn't forget that. I said ' a useful re ward' , didn't I?" Then he gave Bob a big sheet of paper and told him to write a composition on the harm of smoking. Bob says he hasn't got any idea of what to write.
While the doctor was talking about the harm to smoking, the two boys were______.
A.not thinking about anything
B.thinking about the harm of smoking
C.thinking about the watch and how to get it, perhaps
D.thinking that the headmaster was very clever
"Well now, dad." she said, "I'm going to have you all to myself for a whole week. You must be very obedient."
"I hope you aren't going to boss me, Molly. You're walking me out of breath already. We mustn't pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry."
They crossed the street to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the doctor's patients.
"We've just been seeing my wife and her daughter off to London. They've gone up for a week."
"Dear me, to London, and only for a week!" said Mrs. Goodmays, with surprise. "It seems hardly worth the packing. It'll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister."
"Yes," said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the ease.
"I'll miss Cynthia."
"And you, Dr. Gibson. I hope you won't feel like a widower once again. You must come and have supper with me one evening. What about Tuesday?"
Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Molly's shoes, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old lady's satisfaction.
A moment later, Molly said to him, "How could you go and waste one of our precious evenings? We've got five now, I've been planning all sorts of things for us to do together."
What were Molly's feelings as they walked home?
A.She wished she had gone to London too.
B.She was delighted to be alone with her father,
C.She was looking forward to Mrs. Gibson's return.
D.She hated being apart from Cynthia.

"Oh, I don't know. Things you used to like. "she looked at him boldly. "Forbidden things now."
Her father's eyes lit up, but his face remained serious. "I'm not going to be pulled down, Molly. With hard work and sensible guidance I've reached a very fair height of civilized behavior, and there I'm going to stay."
"Oh, no, you're not. We're having bread and cheese for supper tonight, in armchairs in front of the TV ! And you shall wear your dressing-gown at breakfast tomorrow — and every morning for a week !

The White House is really white. It is painted every year. And it seems very white, because it's got beautiful lawns all around it,【58】 many trees and shrubs. The grounds【59】 about four square blocks. I mean, they're about two blocks long【60】 each side. The part【61】 the President lives and works is not open to the public. But the part we saw was beautiful.

The walls are covered with silk【63】. There are【64】 old furniture, from the time【65】 the White House was first built. And everywhere there are paintings and statues of former presidents and other famous people from history.
