Lesson 54 文本  Sticky fingers After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to market. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. So I decided to make some tarts for tea. In a short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, the telephone rang. Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Mrs Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the door-knobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the door-bell rang loud enough to wake the dead. This time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter !  文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. mix（1）vt. 使混和，拌和：I was busy mixing butter and flour.我忙着搅和黄油和面粉。You can mix some salt into the flour.你可以在面粉里和入一些盐。（2）vi. 交往，相处：I'm not going to mix with those people.我不打算和那些人来往。Mary doesn't mix much.玛丽不太和人交往。 2. recognize vt.（1）辨出，认出，认识：I recognized the voice of Helen Bates.我听出是海伦·贝茨的声音。Can you recognize the man beside Ian?你能认出伊恩旁边的这个人吗？（2）承认，确认，认可：It is recognized that Jane is the most intelligent girl among us.大家承认简是我们当中最聪明的女孩。He recognized Dan as one of his best firends.他承认丹是他最好的朋友之一。 二）课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.
