|

[00:11.05]How did the dream end?
|
||||
[00:15.15]Tired of sleeping on the floor,
|
||||
[00:18.01]a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.
|
||||
[00:24.98]For the first time in his life,
|
||||
[00:28.05]he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress.
|
||||
[00:35.22]Because the weather was very hot,
|
||||
[00:38.62]he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.
|
||||
[00:43.36]He slept very well for the first two nights,
|
||||
[00:48.00]but on the third night, a storm blew up.
|
||||
[00:53.12]A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.
|
||||
[01:02.03]The young man did not wake up
|
||||
[01:04.44]until the bed had struck the ground.
|
||||
[01:08.46]Although the bed was smashed to pieces,
|
||||
[01:12.03]the man was miraculously unhurt.
|
||||
[01:16.21]When he woke up, he was still on the mattress.
|
||||
[01:20.84]Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him,
|
||||
[01:25.72]the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house.
|
||||
[01:31.82]After he had put it on the floor,
|
||||
[01:34.56]he promptly went to sleep again.

[00:09.59]Why did the writer not get off the bus at Woodford Green?
|
||||
[00:16.09]I love travelling in the country,
|
||||
[00:18.92]but I don't like losing my way.
|
||||
[00:22.63]I went on an excursion recently,
|

[00:25.41]but my trip took me longer than I expected.
|
||||
[00:30.20]'I'm going to Woodford Green,'
|

[00:32.63]I said to the conductor as I got on the bus,
|

[00:36.84]'but I don't know where it is.'

[00:40.50]'I'll tell you where to get off.' answered the conductor.
|

[00:46.00]I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside.
|

||||
[01:23.32]'It doesn't matter,' I said. 'I'll get off here.'

[01:28.45]'We're going back now,' said the conductor.

[00:10.28]Why did Hugh's diet not work?
|
||||
[00:15.33]My friend, Hugh, has always been fat,
|
||||
[00:19.77]but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.
|
||||
[00:26.32]He began his diet a week ago.
|
||||
[00:29.61]First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.
|
||||
[00:36.88]The list included most of the things Hugh loves:
|
||||
[00:41.30]butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate, and sweets.
|
||||
[00:48.64]Yesterday I paid him a visit.
|
||||
[00:51.97]I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever.
|
||||
[00:59.28]He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk.
|
||||
[01:05.80]It was obvious that he was very embarrassed.
|

[01:10.03]When I asked him what he was doing,
|

[01:12.70]he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk.
|

[01:17.78]He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally.
|
||||
[01:25.59]Then he showed me the contents of the parcel.
|
||||
[01:29.35]It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!

[00:09.89]What is the writer's carpet made of?
|

[00:14.42]We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.
|
||||
[00:22.27]I have been trying to get my new room in order.
|
||||
[00:27.17]This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
|

[00:34.01]To make matters worse,

[00:36.02]the room is rather small,

[00:10.58]What caused the fire?
|
||||
[00:14.44]At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California.
|
||||
[00:21.11]Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began.
|
||||
[00:27.63]Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away.
|
||||
[00:37.96]Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully,
|
||||
[00:42.32]but were not able to find any broken glass.
|
||||
[00:46.80]They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire.
|
||||
[00:53.01]This morning, however, a firemen accidentally discovered the cause.
|
||||
[00:59.38]He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16, 000-volt power line.
|
||||
[01:09.98]In this way, he was able to solve the mystery.
|
||||
[01:14.65]The explanation was simple but very unusual.
|
||||
[01:20.03]A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires.
|
||||
[01:27.83]The snake then wound itself round the wires.
|
||||
[01:31.74]When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.

|

[00:10.19]What did the team find?
|

[00:14.25]Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.
|
||||
[00:20.36]A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented
|
||||
[00:25.28]and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.
|
||||
[00:32.07]The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where--it is said--pirates used to hide gold.
|
||||
[00:41.97]The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.
|
||||
[00:49.07]Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.
|
||||
[00:57.25]The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground.
|
||||
[01:08.51]Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep.
|
||||
[01:14.14]They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.
|
||||
[01:20.66]The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk.
|
||||
[01:31.21]In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

[00:30.67]One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.
|
