Lesson 73 文本  The record-holder Little boys who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1600 miles. He hitch- hiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitch-hiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of boys who dream of evading school.  文本解析 一）词汇学习Word study 1.  creep vi.（1）爬行，匐匍，（像爬行似地）慢慢前进：A snake crept into the garden while she was writing a letter.她写信时，一条蛇爬进了花园。The old car crept along the country road.那辆旧车在乡间小路上慢慢行驶。（2）悄悄地／蹑手蹑脚地走；渐渐产生／出现：We crept upstairs so as not to wake Grandpa.为了不吵醒爷爷，我们蹑手蹑脚地上了楼。He noticed that age had crept on him.他发觉自己慢慢老了。 2. evade vt.（1）（巧妙地）逃脱，躲开：They ran after the thief quickly, but the thief managed to evade them.他们迅速追赶小偷，但小偷设法逃脱了。She evaded a blow from the man and then called out for help.她躲开了那人的一拳，然后便大声呼救。（2）回避，逃避（尤指不当地）：He always tries to evade paying taxes.他总是试图逃税。Many children dream of evading school.许多孩子梦想逃避上学。 二）课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.
