Lesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs
These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as ?white-collar workers? for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he
took shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf?s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning onle half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise上升 in status is well worth the loss money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others别人 will call him ?Mr. Bloggs?, not ?Alf?.

Lesson 5 The facts
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their
readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed被叫 by a well-known magazine to write an article on关于文章用 the president?s palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article
began: ?Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president?s palace.? The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing伴随动作 him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile与此同时, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He set the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply. He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to(=didn?t) reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had
originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a fax from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax *in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president?s palace. *所有文字节目及纸上的信息都用“in”
