英語故事英文作文範文：It Only Rings
Uncle Harry had no answering machine because hardly anyone ever called. Most of his friends and relatives were already dead. He had outlived them all, even though he smoked and drank most of his life. So much for all their talk about clean living, he sometimes thought.
The only person who talked to Uncle Harry regularly was his nephew Teddy. Teddy called several times a week, just for a few minutes to say hello and see if everything was OK. Some days Teddy had to call twice or more because Uncle Harry didn't answer the first phone call. When he finally did get through, Uncle Harry would chastise Teddy for his bad timing. “How do you always manage to call me when I'm in the bathroom?” he would ask.
Tuesday morning, Teddy let the phone ring ten times. He then hung up and went back to work. That afternoon he called Uncle Harry again. Again, no answer. A couple of hours later, he called again. Still no answer. He called Ira, Uncle Harry’s next-door neighbor.
“Hello,” said Ira.
“Hi, Ira, this is Teddy.”
“Hi, Teddy. How are you?”
“Oh, I’m fine, Ira. But I’m a little worried about Uncle Harry. I called him three times today and he didn’t answer once. I don’t think he could have been in the bathroom all three times, do you?”
“No, I don’t think so,” laughed Ira. “He does complain about that, doesn’t he? Anyway, I’ll go next door and see what’s up. If he doesn’t open the door, I know where he hides his spare key. I’ll call you back in a bit, okay?”
“Okay, Ira. Thanks a lot,” Teddy said.
A while later, Teddy’s phone rang. It was Ira. He sounded shaken. “Teddy, I’m sorry it took so long. I have bad news. Harry didn't answer the door, so I used his spare key. He was dead, Teddy. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, my gosh! That’s terrible!”
“I called the hospital, and they told me to call the coroner’s office. The coroner said they were busy, and wouldn’t be able to make it here until tomorrow or the day after.”
“What happened? Did he fall? Did he die in his sleep? Is he lying on the bed with a peaceful look on his face?”
“Not exactly, Teddy. He’s lying on the bathroom floor with a look of surprise on his face. We can move him to his bed later. But right now I’ve got to go home, Teddy. I think I might be in shock or something. I don’t feel right.”
英語故事英文作文範文：Avoid the Flu
Flu season occurs annually in countries that have cold weather in the winter. Although the influenza virus is alive throughout the world in all four seasons, it seems to have its greatest impact on humans during the winter. Scientists are not sure why. They think it’s because in the winter people are indoors and close together for longer periods of time. Also, the virus might be able to live longer and be stronger in colder weather. Finally, indoor air can dry up the mucous that helps protect people from the virus.
In the U.S., the virus is not something to sneeze at. It kills about 36,000 people annually ***most of them elderly***. It also causes almost 250,000 people to end up in a hospital bed annually.
Scientists develop a preventive flu shot for people to take as winter begins. This shot is not guaranteed to prevent flu; scientists can only guess at which virus might be the most dangerous in the upcoming season. The shot protects against only that particular virus. For those who do not get the shot, influenza spreads among them easily. It takes only a sneeze, a cough, or a touch. Victims frequently get ill from shaking hands, opening doors, or handling money.
Most infected people will have a fever, sore throat, and cough. But the symptoms are often mild and last for only a week. For many others, however, symptoms can be so severe and prolonged that victims end up in bed for weeks, or in the hospital, or in the cemetery.
英語故事英文作文範文：The Driving Lesson
“I think he’s finally beginning to like you,” Gwen said to her boyfriend Darren. “He told me that he enjoys his weekly driving lessons with you.”
“That’s nice to hear,” Darren replied. “He’s disliked me since the first day we met. I don’t know what I ever said or did. Maybe it’s because I’m the wrong color? Or because I’m old enough to be his grandpa? But it’s nice to hear that maybe we can eventually become friends. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten upset when I yell at him for his driving mistakes.”
“Oh, he doesn’t like that at all. I wish you wouldn’t yell at him during his driving lessons. It makes him upset and nervous.”
“You know, I try not to. But I get so irritated sometimes. He does things like drifting into the next lane. He sees the car in front of him but doesn't see the red stop light above him. He forgets to check his blind spot when he changes lanes. We’ve been practicing for at least 20 hours now, and he’s still making the same dangerous mistakes. Someday he might be driving you around, and one simple mistake could get both of you killed. I yell because he needs to wake up when he's behind the wheel. One second can be the difference between life and death.”
“Yes, I know. But he's just a kid. Besides, there are other ways to wake someone up.”
