Реферат: Обучение аудированию на коммуникативной основе в 7, 8 классах общеобразовательной школы

 Later on, when I went to the dining car, Miss Bradley
was already seated, and the attendant placed me opposite
her.

  I think we may have exchanged half a dozen words at
dinner, when passing one another the sugar or the bread.
But they were certainly all we exchanged, and after we
left the dining-car, I did not see Miss Bradley again until
we reached Calais Maritime.

And then our acquaintance really began, and it began
entirely on my initiative. There were plenty of porters, and
I called one without difficulty from the window of the train.
But as I got off, I saw Miss Bradley standing on the platform
with two large very old suit-cases. The porters were passing
her by.

I am quite sure that had she been an even slightly attracive woman, I should not have gone up to her, but she was
so ugly and looked so helpless that I approached her, and
said:

"My porter has a barrow. Would you like him to put your
cases on it too?" Miss Bradley turned and looked at me.

"Oh — thank you. It is very kind of you."

My porter, without great enthusiasm, added her luggage
to mine; and in a few minutes we found ourselves on board
the Channel ferry.1

Before the boat had been under way for ten minutes, I
realized that Miss Bradley was a remarkable bore. Shyly
and hesitantly she kept on talking about nothing, and made
no remark worth taking notice of.

I learned that she had been in Italy a fortnight, visiting
her sister who was married to an Italian. She had never been
out of England before.

I did not look forward to travelling to London with her
for another four hours, so excusing myself I went along to
the booking-office on board the boat and booked myself a
seat on the Golden Arrow.

Miss Bradley was travelling by the ordinary boat train,
so this would mean that we should part at Dover.

At Dover I hired one of the crew to carry our luggage.

Normally, passengers for the Golden Arrow are dealt
with by the customs first, as the train leaves twenty minutes
before the ordinary boat train. When the boy asked if we were
going on the Golden Arrow, I hesitated and then said
"Yes".

It was too difficult to explain that one of us was and one
of us wasn't, and then it would get Miss Bradley through the
customs quickly.

As we went towards the Customs Hall, I explained care-
fully to her that my train left before hers, but that I would
see her through the customs; the boy would then take the
luggage to our trains, and she could sit comfortably in hers
till it left. Miss Bradley said, "Oh, thank you very much."

The boy, of course, had put our suit-cases together on the
counter, and Miss Bradley and I went and stood before them.
In due course the customs examiner reached us, looked at
the four suit-cases in that human X-ray manner which customs examiners must practise night and morning, and said,
"This is all yours?"

I was not quite sure whether he was speaking to me, or me
and Miss Bradley. So I replied, "Well — mine and this lady's".

The examiner said, "But you're together?"

"For the moment," I said rather foolishly, smiling at Miss
Bradley.

"Yes," said the customs man patiently. "But are you travelling together? Is this your joint luggage?"

"Well, no. Not exactly. We're just sharing a porter."

I pointed my cases out. I had nothing to declare, and
declared it. Without asking me to open them, the examiner
chalked the cases and then, instead of moving to my left
and dealing with Miss Bradley, moved to the right, and began X-raying somebody else's luggage.

The boy took my cases off the counter. I hesitated for a
moment, but then decided it was no use waiting for Miss
Bradley since we were about to part, so I said:

"Well, I'll say good-bye now, and go and find my train.
I expect the examiner'll come back and do you next. The
porter will stay and bring our luggage up to the trains
when you're through. Good-bye."

Miss Bradley said, "Oh... good-bye and thank you so
much." We shook hands and I left.

I found my seat in the Golden Arrow and began to read.

It must have been about twenty minutes later that I suddenly realized the train was due to leave in five minutes and
that the porter had not yet brought my luggage. I was just
going to look for him when he appeared, breathing heavily,
with my suit-cases. I asked him rather what he had
been doing.

"The lady is still there," said the boy, "and will be for so-
me time, I think. They are going through her things properly.'

"But why?"

"Well, they'd found forty watches when I came away, and
that was only the start, so I thought maybe you wouldn't
want me to wait."

I have often wondered whether, when Miss Bradley stood
so helplessly on the platform at Calais, she had already chosen me as the person to come to her rescue, or whether she
was just sure that somebody would.

Looking back, I think she must have chosen me. I am
fairly sure of that though exactly how, I have never been
clear. I am quite sure she never made the slightest effort
to make my acquaintance.

Honesty.

Honesty as the readers demonstrated by leaving eighteen wallets containing ₤ 30 around the country is both absent and alive in the most surprising places. The poor like Glasgow student Andrew Pride who had only had ₤ 10 to spend on food that week often found it in themselves to return the wallet. While those who are obviously much better off sometimes “trouser” the money without second thought.

Trouser is the right word here because it seems that women are far more likely to be honest than men. Two thirds of women who found a wallet handed it in compare to little more than half of men.
