Lesson 49 文本  The end of a dream  Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he  had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again. 文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1. sweep vt.（1）扫，打扫：She sweeps the floor/ the room every morning.她每天早上扫地／打扫房间。The room is swept clean.房间被打扫干净了。 （2）（风）吹，刮：A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof.一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来。The newspaper has been swept away by the wind.报纸被风吹走了。 2. smash vt., vi.（1）打碎，摔碎，（使）碎裂：The bed was smashed to pieces.床摔成了碎片。The man smashed a window and got into the room.那人打碎了一扇窗，然后进了房间。The cup smashed on the floor.杯子掉在地板上摔碎了。 （2）重击，殴打，猛砸／撞：Why didn't you smash the man with your fist?你为什么不用拳头狠狠揍那人一顿？A car smashed into the wall.一辆车撞到了墙上。 二）课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.
