这部小说的摘要包含了最精彩的场面。几个目击者看见了UFO!它看起来像一个巨大的圆盘。 UFO的尺寸是高6英尺，直径15英尺。它发出四散的光。光线很暗淡，他们看不清楚。于是他们去触摸它，然而它竟缩小了!突然地上的石头朝各个方向乱飞。一个目击者在这场灾难中残废了。UFO起飞并很快消失在空中。警方很有策略，他们通过人名地址簿找到了哈金斯教授。哈金斯教授很勤奋，他获得了太空研究方面的一个文凭。现在，他是一个著名的科学团体的主任。警方拜访哈金斯教授的那天，他正在进餐。只见他拿鸡块蘸黄油吃。这种油腻的食物可不好消化。警方问他如何区分UFO和飞机。他幽默地回答说：“UFO有外交豁免权。”警方说他的帮助对这事很重要。哈金斯教授打断他们冗长的演讲，答应帮助他们。很快消息在全国传播开来。不好的事情是新闻报道不一致。这使哈金斯教授陷于窘境。为了维护自己的尊严，他不得不在不利条件下工作。于是他夜以继日地用一台数字计算机工作着。

The chemist had something to do with a company. He worked for a research division of it. He distinguished himself as a great chemist. He was so crazy about diverse experiments that he disregarded his wife's feelings, which caused her in great distress. She was dissatisfied with his apathy. They had quite distinct ideas from each other and at last they divorced. their properties had been justly distributed. It's a fair division of everything. The divorce didn't disturb the chemist too much. Marriage was a thing he could do without. In fact, he thought this sort of thing should be done away with. As for his former wife, she would have nothing more to do with him. One day, the chemist dissolved some material in hot water. He tried to obtain another material by distillation. There was some distinct distinction between these two materials. Suddenly, he heard a cry, "Help!" The cry distracted him from his work. It's a boy in the ditch! The chemist dived into the ditch. Even though he felt dizzy, he did rescue the drowning child. But the newspaper distorted the facts, saying he pushed the boy down! The chemist wasn't angry at all. He had more interest in his experiment than the news.

Last week, we saw a documentary about two domestic animals. It seemed to be a farce and it made us doubled up with laugher. A donkey and a dove lived in a small domlitory. The donkey liked eating hot dogs and the dove liked playing with her doll. Somebody donated a black dress with white dots to the doll. They had faith in different doctrines, so they had a good many domestic troubles. From the very beginning their living together was doomed to failure. The dove was arbitrary. She always wanted to dominate others. The dome was her domain and she didn't allow others to get close to it. The worst thing was, she wagged her tongue day and night. But she met her doom after she made the donkey angry. The donkey disliked the dove there was no doubt about that. One day, the house next door caught fire. It was dangerous to stay at the doorway . Both of them escaped out of doors. Then the donkey took the dove down to the dock to see the ships. On the way, he persuaded her to take one dose of some kind of medicine. He's doubtful about whether he should do it. The dove took it and could speak no more than three words at a time. It was really magic medicine!
上周，我们看了一场关于两只驯养的动物的记录片。它看起来很像闹剧，我们都笑弯了腰。一只驴子和一只鸽子住在一个小宿舍里。驴子喜欢吃热狗，鸽子喜欢玩她的玩具娃娃。有人给她的玩具娃娃捐赠了一条带白圆点的黑裙子。他们信仰不同的教义，因此有许多家庭的纠纷。从一开始他们的相处就注定失败。鸽子很霸道，她总想要支配别人。圆屋顶是她的领域，她不准其他人靠近。最讨厌的是，她每天唠叨个不停。但自从她把驴子弄火了之后，她的劫数就到了。驴子不喜欢鸽子，这是无疑的。一天，隔壁房间着火了。站在门口是很危险的。他俩逃出，来到户外。然后驴子带鸽子去船坞看船去。路上，他设法让她吃了一剂药。他有些怀疑他是否一定要那样做。鸽子吃了药后每次说话就不超过3个字了。那可真是神奇的药啊!

A dramatist was asked to amend the play.He had painfully drawn up a first draft. Its drawback was obvious, so he locked it in a drawer. The boss dropped by him.They had a drastic dispute over the draft. After the boss left, the dramatist had a dozen buns for supper. Then he began to doze off. Suddenly he heard the drip of the water. Then he was surprised to find himself standing on a boat. The boat drifted helplessly along the drain until some people saw him. They helped him up. But the boat changed into a dragon all at once! The dramatist dreaded it so much that he dared not to see it. The others discussed draining the water first, and then they could drag it out of the drain. The dramatist sneaked away. He got on a train. The train drew in at 9 PM. When he opened the door of his house, he saw the dragon smiling at him ! The dramatist woke up with great fear. The dramatic dream inspired him a lot. He drew on all his talents to write an excellent play.
