24、eriencesBI had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me. It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expecte
25、d. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan. First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why
26、we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret. Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I
27、dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police. It was already eleven oclock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a
28、hammer. After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep.

31、er of 1503, during Christopher Columbus fourth and final trip America, his ship was seriously damaged in a storm. Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain. At first, the local people on the island were very kind t
32、o the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave
33、 the island, Columbus group was soon in serious trouble. Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on
34、the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last. Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local pe
35、ople were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing. The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first
36、, Columbus god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship.

40、ere, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both very angry. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I walked, no
41、t knowing what to do. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and no worry. But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We are different in our ways of thinking. He always force
42、s his opinions on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never turns a blind eye to it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered in the streets, without thinking anything in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night.
