Mr Evens woke up early one morning, before the sun had risen. It was a beautiful morning, so he went to the window and looked out. He was surprised to see a well dressed，middle-aged professor, who worked in the university just up the road from Mr Evens's house, coming from the direction(方向) of the town. He had grey hair and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr Evens thought that he must have arrived by the night train and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi.

Mr Evens had a big tree in his garden，and the children had tied a long rope(繩) to one of its branches so that they could swing (蕩秋千) on it.

Mr Evens was surprised to see the professor stop when he saw the rope，and look carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was nobody in sight(看得見) ，he stepped into the garden, put his newspaper, bag and hat on the grass and took hold of the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope,his grey hair blowing all around his face,backwards running steps on the grass when the rope began to swing too slowly for him.

At last the professor stopped，put on his hat，picked up his newspaper and bag，and continued on his way to the university，looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.

Americans' Vans―Motor Homes

Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van(住房汽車) .

A small car can hold(容納) four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. A van holds seven persons easily, so a family with three children can ask their grandparents to travel together.

Mr King and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. There are seven seats in the van,two of them are used to put things on,for a family of five must carry many suitcases(手提箱) when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents' home,the suitcases are put into the two seats. And then they can carry their grandparents.

Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are travelling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are travelling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.
