　　Mr. and Mrs. Cooper arrive at London Airport at the end of a three-week holiday in Italy (意大利). It had been hot there, so Mr. Cooper has shaved off his beard. But his passport photograph shows him with his beard.

　　An officer looks at the photograph for a moment, and says: "Will you excuse me? Please sit down. I shall not keep you long."

　　Last summer I went to Miami Beach, Florida, where I stayed for two weeks. My friend John and I flew to Miami from New York in three hours. It was the first time for both of us to travel by air. We settled back in deep armchairs and enjoyed an unusual and breathtaking (使人吃惊的，非凡的) view (视野，景色) of the world. We went there because the rates were lower (较低的，降低) out of season. We stayed at a hotel on the beach. We slept late every morning and then had breakfast outdoors near the pool. When the weather was not too hot, we used to go sightseeing (观光，游览) in the morning. We visited the campus (校园) of the University of Miami, and the Everglades. In the afternoon, we used to go swimming in the ocean or the pool, lie in the sun, or go water-skiing. After dinner in the evening, we used to go dancing in a discotheque or enjoy ourselves in the night clubs. The weather was very good every day, and the two weeks went by only too quickly. We were both very sorry when we had to leave.
