Passage One
Once a general had lost a battle and, in the company of a faithful servant, was trying to escape （逃跑） from the enemy. They were both extremely tired, hungry and thirsty, but they did not dare to go into any town for fear of being discovered and caught by the enemy.
Toward evening, they arrived at a mountain where there was a small cave.
"Let us hide here," said the servant. " Perhaps they'll lose our trail, and we'll be able to escape." The general agreed, and they entered deep inside the cave.
In the morning, they heard steps nearby. A group of soldiers were coming near the cave's entrance.
"Let's look in there," said one of the soldiers, getting ready to enter the cave.
"Don't be foolish," said another. " No one has ever entered here, I am sure."
"How do you know?"
"Don't you see a spider's web(蜘蛛网)?" said the other. "It covers the entrance from one side to the other. How could anyone enter?"
Everyone then looked and saw that there was really a cob-web which completely covered the entrance.
"It's true," they said. And they continued on their way.

Passage Two
I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!" Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother.
I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower (淋浴). I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls. But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!" But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.
