The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair.How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said.“OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said.“Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.” Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited.“What will you do with it?”I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it,”I said.“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,”he said.“Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind.I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it.”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said.Then, suddenly the penny dropped.“I know what you want.You want me to repair your chair.”“ You’re right, ”I said.“And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,’Would you mend this chair for me I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said.“We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble.But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣)by the whole thing. 1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.

While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination.So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye.They would have to sleep for years. European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments.The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant planets."If there was an effective technology, it could make deepspace travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month. What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely.Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleeplike state where they don’t age.They have now moved on to the small, nonhibernating mammals (哺乳动物) like rats.
