24、 of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved.

It was a thin strip of vellum(羊皮纸)
25、on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”! The touchstone was a small pebble (鹅卵石)that could turn any common metal into pure gold.

28、 The days continued over a long period of time.One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done.

40、ecause this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories. “We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
41、I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays is vacaciones.
