Listening-听力
When the Ambassador of Escalopia returned home
for lunch,his wife got a shock.He looked pale and
his clothes were in a frightful state.
What has happened?'she asked.'How did
your clothes get into such a mess?'
'A fire extinguisher,my dear,'answered the
Ambassador drily.'University students set the
Embassy on fire this morning.'
'Good heavens!'exclaimed his wife.And
where were you at the time?'
'I was in my office as usual,'answered the
Ambassador.
The fire broke out in the basement.I went down
immediately,of course,and that fool,Horst,aimed
a fire extinguisher at me.He thought I was on fire.I
must definitely get that fellow posted.'
The Ambassador's wife went on asking
questions,when she suddenly noticed a big hole in
her husband's hat.
'And how can you explain that?'she asked.
'Oh,that,'said the Ambassador.'Someone
fired a shot through my office window.Accurate,
don't you think?Fortunately,I wasn't wearing it at
the time.If I had been,I would not have been able
to get home for lunch.'
