　　About Sea 关于大海

　　I live in a small village. I have never seen sea. But I see it many times in the TV. It is very beautiful. In my hometown, the water in the river is a little yellow and the river is small. But the sea is different. In the TV, I can’t see the end of the sea and its water is blue. It is amazing. It is said that is voice and wind of the sea are also very comfortable. My ten years birthday wish is to have a look at sea.

　　我住在一个小村庄。我从没看过海。但我在电视上看到过很多次。很漂亮。在我家乡，河里的水是有点点黄的。但是大海却是不一样的'。在电视上，我看不到海的尽头而且水是蓝色的。真的很神奇。听说大海的声音和海风也是很舒服的。我十岁生日的愿望就是去看海。

　　The Sea 大海

　　What do you know about the sea? Some people know about it, but others don't. The sea looks beautiful on a fine sunny day, but when there's a strong wind, it's very rough. What else do you know about it?

　　Of course, the sea is very big. In the world, there is more sea than land. Do you know Hainan Island? It's really very nice. We can see beaches, trees and the sea. We can swim and visit a lot of beautiful places.

　　When you swim in the sea, you feel that the water is salty.

　　At last, I tell you about the Dead Sea. Fish can't live in it, because it's dangerous. This sea is too salty.

　　The sea is nice, but sometimes it's not good.

　　你是怎么知道大海？有些人不了解它，但其他人没有。美丽的大海看起来是在一个阳光明媚的一天，但是当有一个强烈的风，它很粗糙。知道你还做了什么？

　　当然，海是非常大的.。在这个世界上，有更多的海洋资源。你知道海南岛吗？这真的很漂亮。我们可以看到海滩，树和海。我们可以游泳和参观很多美好的地方。

　　当你在海中游泳，你觉得这水是咸的。

　　最后，我告诉你一些关于死海。鱼不能生活在它，因为它是危险的。海水是咸的。

　　海是漂亮的，但有时是不好的。

　　WEALTH AND HAPPINESS 富裕 和 幸福

　　There is no same opinion among people as to the view of wealth. Some people may think that wealth is the most important and powerful thing in life, while some other people believe that there are many things that cannot be bought with wealth.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. There’s an old proverb, “Money can cure hunger, but it can’t cure happiness” which simply means wealth can buy us some material things but cannot make us happy and free from sadness or worries.

　　在人们看来，财富的观点是不一样的。有些人可能认为财富是人生中最重要和最重要的.东西，而另一些人则认为，有很多东西是无法用财富来购买的，而就我而言，我同意后者的观点。有一句古老的谚语：“钱能治好，但不能治好幸福”，简单地说，财富能给我们买点东西，却不能使我们快乐，不让悲伤和烦恼。

　　In fact, happiness, true love, friendship, time, health and so on are the most valuable things in the world and can never ever be bought with money. Those who just try their best to make money can’t realize the true meaning of life and will be the slaves for money. They can’t enjoy happiness, for they have lost everything, time, relatives, love except money. Then, what can money do? No one will share the happy moment with them.So, I think, money is not at all powerful while happiness is more important. If we always have happiness, we’ll never give up the belief to life.

　　事实上，幸福，真正的爱情，友谊，时间，健康等等都是世界上最有价值的东西，永远不会被金钱买来。那些尽自己最大努力赚钱的人，无法实现人生的真正意义，并将成为金钱的奴隶。他们不能享受幸福，因为他们失去了一切，时间，亲人，爱除了金钱。那么，钱怎么办？没有人会和他们一起分享快乐的时刻，所以，我认为，金钱不是万能的，而幸福更重要。如果我们永远拥有幸福，我们就永远不会放弃对生活的信念。

　　On-line Shopping Carnival 网络购物狂欢节

　　When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however,the young generations will consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In fact, on November 11th, 20xx, Tmall and Taobao(the biggest Chinese online shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has astonished the media at home and abroad.Apparently, people have more interests on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home media even suggest that November 11thshould be the Chinese on-line shopping carnival.

　　当人们提到11月11日，你想到了什么？对于老一辈的人来说，这一天和平常一样；然而，对于年轻人来说，这天不仅仅是“光棍节”，也是网络购物狂欢节。事实上，在今年的双11，天猫和淘宝（中国最大的网络购物平台）卖出了价值高达350多亿元的商品，这一数据惊呆了国内外的媒体。显而易见，大家对网络购物的热情超出了与单身好友共度“光棍”节的兴趣。有些国内的.媒体甚至建议每年的11月11日应该是中国的网络购物狂欢节。

　　In 20xx, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall andTaobao, had coined the term “Double Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their own festival. Instead of datinglovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then “11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.

　　在20xx年，天猫和淘宝的首席执行官马云，创造出了一个新词：“双11”，目的是为了鼓励单身朋友去做些与众不同的事情，以此庆祝他们自己的节日。没有情人约会，那就上网购物减轻自己的孤独感吧。调查显示:去年中国的网民有五亿六千四百万人，其中有一亿八千万的单身汉。而这些单身汉正好是网络购物的主力军。于是，“双11”被赋予了不同的意义，那就是网络购物狂欢节。

　　Comparing with the traditional shopping,the cyber shopping has more distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is acredit card. What we can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away, instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after springrains.

　　和传统的购物相比，网络购物有着更为明显的特点，这更符合年轻人的口味。人们不需要外出，只需点击一下鼠标，商品就会送到家。最棒的是你可以在任何时间任何地点进行购物。你只需一张信用卡。我们可以预测到在将来，网购不会淡出我们的生活，它就像雨后春笋，不断增长。

　　由此可知，新的价格是基于订购至少1000英镑之上的，所以选项D符合原文的意思，是正确答案。

　　2.Which is NOT the reason of reduction of the price at 5 percent?

　　A.The Japanese.producer holds a large quantity of stores and can’t sell them out.

英语短文阅读3

　　Every morning at approximately 8:48 a.m., I pass it—the brick building that I visited many times as a child and that once seemed so grand, now a miniature playhouse in my mind.

　　每天早晨，大约8点48分的时候，我都会路过那栋砖砌的建筑。小时候，我曾经多次造访过那里。那时，这栋楼看起来是那么威严宏大，可如今它在我心里就像一个微型的玩具小屋。

　　My father used to live there, along with 549 other inmates. When I’d visit, as I often did, we’d chat and laugh—through a glass wall, telephones in hand.

　　我父亲就曾住在那里，和其他549名囚犯生活在一起。我常常去探望他，每次去时，我们都有说有笑——只不过我和他之间隔着一堵玻璃墙，每人手里拿着电话。

　　For me, it was normal. It was all I knew. And I relished connecting with him. It was one of the most important relationships in my life, and still is today.

　　对我来说，这种交流方式很正常。因为我所知道的交流方式就是这样的。我喜欢这么和他聊天。那时候，和父亲的交流是我生命中最重要的情感寄托之一，直至今天也是如此。

　　Experts say the years before you turn 5 are the most important. I must be lucky then. The day he was arrested on drug-related charges, the day I smiled at the policeman in our home, the day that everything changed was six months before my sixth birthday.

　　专家说，每个人五岁之前的经历对其成长是最为重要的。要这么说的话，我肯定是幸运的。因为就在父亲因毒品案被捕的那一天、我冲着那个闯进我家的警察微笑的那一天、我的生活从此完全改变的那一天，我已经五岁半了。

　　Over the years, the weekly commutes to visit my father became rituals. Eventually, after several years, we were allowed real visits when he was moved to a lower-security facility—the kind of visits where you can hug and tickle, where a conversation’s connection doesn’t depend on the distorted and crackly voice coming through the telephone, where words can be freely exchanged without the clock ticking, reminding you that time is slipping, moving faster than it should, faster than you’d like.

　　那之后许多年，我每星期都会坐车去探望父亲，这已经成为一种习惯。终于，在几年后，父亲被转到一所防卫不那么严格的监狱，我们这才被允许“真正”地探望他：我们可以互相拥抱，互相胳肢；可以直接对话而不再依赖电话里那种有些失真又沙哑的声音；可以自由地交谈，没有时钟在一旁嘀嗒嘀嗒，提醒我们时间在一点点溜走，而且那时钟总是走得特别快，比你希望得快。

　　We’ve always shared a sense of understanding, my father and I. We can look at one another and know what the other is thinking. We get each other.

　　父亲和我之间一直有那么一种默契。我们看着对方，就知道彼此心里在想什么。我们心有灵犀。

　　You’d think his absence would have prevented him from making rules, enforcing discipline and participating in the day-to-day of my childhood, but that wasn’t so. He wrote me every week, and I often go back and read what’s left of the folded, disintegrating letters. He’d tell me stories and I’d draw him fashion designs.

　　也许你会觉得，既然父亲没在家，他肯定没办法给我立规矩或是管教我，在我的童年生活里，他肯定也没办法天天陪着我，但实际情况却并非如此。他每个星期都会给我写信，那些留着的信现在已经折痕累累、支离破碎，但我还时常回过头去读一读。他会在信里给我讲故事，而我会给他画服装设计的图样。

　　1In person, we’d talk, not just speak. His life lessons, never cliché but always earnest, struck a chord with me and I soaked up every word. He told me that not having a father had been a detriment to his ego and that he’d overcompensated by feeling infallible well into his 30s. He spoke of the shame he’d caused his family and how there were times when he almost cracked, being isolated from his family, from love, from who he used to be.

　　见面的时候，我们会倾心交谈，而不仅仅是闲聊瞎扯。他会和我分享他的人生经验，句句真挚中肯，从不老生常谈，他说的每一个字都让我深感共鸣，我把这些话牢记心间。他告诉我，他从小没有父亲，这让他的自尊深受伤害，而三十多岁时，他又走到另一个极端，过于自信，觉得自己永远是正确的。他还谈到自己的所作所为让家人蒙受的耻辱，他说自己好几次都几近崩溃——因为远离家人，远离关爱，无法做回曾经的自己。

　　Other children looked forward to Saturdays, long stretches of time when their fathers would take them to swimming or hockey lessons, to the park for a walk or for an ice-cream cone. I could barely sleep with anticipation, getting up as early as 5 a.m. to hop in the car for the two-hour drive ahead.

　　别的孩子们都盼着过周六，期待在那长长的闲暇时间里，他们的父亲会带他们去学游泳或上曲棍球课，去公园里散步或买冰淇淋甜筒。而我每周五晚会因满心期待而难以入睡，周六早上我会五点起床，跳上汽车，然后坐两个小时的车去探望父亲。

　　The ice cream I was missing paled in comparison with the sweet joy of simply “being” with my dad. To have our chats, to share outdoor barbecues with my father and other families who would gather. Most children have school friends and neighbourhood friends. I had those too, but I also had my jail friends, the girls and boys with whom I would run around and play tag, not truly comprehending why these individuals probably understood me and my life far better than anyone else.

　　不过，只要能和父亲“待”在一起，我就感到甜蜜而快乐，相比之下，没吃上冰淇淋就显得微不足道了。我可以和父亲聊天，和父亲以及其他周末在这个地方相聚的家庭一起在户外烧烤。大多数孩子的朋友是学校的同学或是附近的邻居。我也有这样的朋友，但我还有一帮在监狱里结识的伙伴。这些伙伴中有男孩也有女孩，我们一起东奔西跑，一起玩捉人游戏，那时我并没有真正理解，为什么这些孩子可能会比其他人更能理解我和我的生活。

　　My mother, who had long since separated from my father, would often ask me about my feelings, trying to uncover some inadequacy I felt, pressing for details and expressions that might make sense. How could I be okay?

　　很久以前，母亲就和父亲离婚了。她总是问我对父亲入狱这件事有什么感受，尽力寻找每一个可能有意义的细节和表情，试图证明我是感觉受伤害了的。她想不明白我怎么可能一点儿事儿都没有呢？

　　But how could I not? As a child, the word jail means nothing, and this proved itself when my stepmother broke the news to me a few months after my father’s arrest. She took me for an ice cream, and as we sat in her car in the parking lot, she explained why the police had been at our home, what it all meant, how my father would not be returning any time soon.

　　可我为什么就不能感觉良好呢？对于一个孩子来说，“监狱”这个词没有任何意义。这一点，从父亲被捕几个月后继母告诉我这个消息时我的反应上就能看出来。她带我去买了一个冰淇淋，然后，在停车场里，我们坐在她的车上时，她向我解释了警察为什么会来我家，这一切都意味着什么，以及父亲为何在短时间内不能回家了。

　　Yes, I cried, but only because I thought I was supposed to. I couldn’t comprehend the magnitude. I just did what all kids learn to do around this age, intuitively gauge what an adult wants from you and serve it up, all the while holding one’s breath while waiting for approval.

　　没错，我哭了，但那只是因为我觉得我应该哭。我那时无法理解这件事情的严重性。我只是做了所有大概这个年龄的孩子都会做的事：凭直觉估计一下大人希望你怎么做，然后把它做出来，同时屏住呼吸，等着大人的认可。

　　I was 11 when my father finally came home. I learned all about responsibility when he signed me up for a part-time job serving ice cream at the beach. I acted excited, though like most 11-year-olds, all I wanted to do was park myself in front of the television all summer long. But I wanted to please him, wanted to earn those extra smiles, all the ones I’d missed.

　　我11岁那年，父亲终于刑满回家了。他给我报名，让我去应聘了一份在沙滩上卖冰淇淋的兼职工作，这份工作让我彻底了解了什么是责任。我当时假装很激动，但其实像大多数11岁的孩子一样，我只想整个夏天都坐在电视机前度过。但是我想让他高兴，想多看到他笑，想把我错过的那些笑容都补回来。

　　Years later, as I stare out the window while I pass that brick building on my daily commute to work, I often wonder if I lost something, if those special years that others had with their fathers, the ones I didn’t, harmed me in some way. Am I really that different? Do I have attachment issues?

　　多年以后，当我每天乘车上班途经那栋砖砌的建筑时，都会从车窗向外凝望，此时我经常问自己，我是否错失过什么？在那特别的几年里，别的孩子可以和他们的.父亲一起度过，但我却没有父亲陪伴，这是否对我造成了这样或那样的伤害呢？我真的那么与众不同吗？我在情感方面有没有什么问题？

　　I still live at home, but so does every other twentysomething I know. They still enjoy home-cooked meals, pristinely arranged households and all bills paid for by their parents.

　　我现在还和父母住在一起，但我认识的其他二十多岁的年轻人也都和父母一起住。他们还是很喜欢吃家里做的饭菜，喜欢家里一切都收拾得整齐干净，更喜欢父母帮他们付清所有的账单。

　　When I think about moving out, I know it’s not time yet. It’s not the conveniences that come from living a life almost free of responsibility, although that’s a bonus.

　　我也考虑过搬出去住，但我知道还不是时候。不过，这并不是因为这种几乎不需要负任何责任的生活给我带来了很多便利，虽然这种便利是额外的奖励。

　　I’m not ready to give up the small inner burst of joy I get every morning when my dad pops his head into my bedroom and says, “Morning, Mini,” a nickname I’ve kept far too many years. I growl and tell him to “get out!” since it’s hours before I need to get up. But I can’t help smiling.

　　我不愿意搬出去住，是因为我还没有准备好放弃每天早上父亲突然探头到我的卧室，冲我喊“早安，米妮(一个我叫了好多年的小名)！”时，我心里迸发出来的那点小小的快乐。我会很生气地朝他大吼“出去！”，因为离我该起床的时间还有好几个小时呢。但每当此时，我都会忍不住地微笑起来。

英语短文阅读9

　　一、长篇阅读

　　【应对策略】

　　1.先看题目后看文章。尽管信息匹配题在考细节，但是题干涉及的细节信息往往反映文章的主旨或段落主题，所以，通过快速浏览题干中的若干条细节信息，考生可以迅速把握文章的主旨，从而能够在回头阅读原文时加快定位速度，节省阅读时间。

　　2. 先易后难，步步为营。采用由易到难的解题策略，可以提升考生的解题信心。对于那些能迅速找出定位信息返回的句子，考生不妨先做。而对于答题线索较少的题目，考生可留在最后再解答。

　　二、词汇理解

　　【应对策略】

　　1. 精读文章开头部分文字。尤其是第一句，确定本文主题。文章主旨的确定对于篇章语境的整体把握意义重大。

　　2. 确定各单词的基本词性。这里所说的基本词性是指该单词最常见的词性。例如，turn一般作动词，但在动词短语at the turn of the century中，它也可以用作名词。不过，其最常用的情况是作动词，那么我们就把其归于动词类。如果做题时，我们发现空格处在一个介词后面，而介词后面是宾语，即介词后面应该是名词，若其它名词不能与之搭配，我们再考虑像turn这样既能用作动词又能用作名词的单词。

　　3. 设定词性类别：名，动，形，副，现在分词。本次考试与历年考试一致，所涉及的词性类别只局限于上述五类，四级考试该题型中，从未涉及指代词，介词，定冠词等虚词的填写。

　　4. 按照各单词的基本词性将15个单词逐一分别归类。

　　5. 根据基本的句法常识和逻辑意义进行填写。填写时，注意，上下文是否合乎语法，句子内部各成分间的搭配是否逻辑，句子与句子之间是否连贯一致。

　　三、仔细阅读

　　【应对策略】

　　仔细阅读总体上可以划分为主旨类题目和细节类题目。笔者发现，从05年开始，主旨类题目的比重大幅下降，细节题已然成为主流。

　　1. 一切以立足原文为基准。

　　2. 以文章信息为主导来选择一个原文表述一致的信息或者是同义改写的信息，以提高选项的正确率。

　　3. 务必确定答案所在位置.题干和答案紧密结合，构成一个独立完整不可分割的意义单位。我们在找答案的时候，绝对不能脱离题干。

　　4. 服从主旨原则。此处所谈的主旨包括段落主旨和全文主旨。把握文章主题，是正确快捷的解决阅读中的难题，取得阅读高分的基本前提。

　　5. 熟悉错误选项的设置方式，谨防干扰。

　　(1) 颠倒黑白。即选项和原文的基本观点或者事实相反，原文说西，选项说东，原文说坏，选项说好。

　　(3) 张冠李戴。即原文说甲事物具有某特征，选项却张冠李戴。

　　四、通用七大技巧

　　答题技巧一： 详略得当

　　对于大学英语四级阅读来说，根据题目的“题眼”快速在文章中找到答案是最关键的，这样我们就要在阅读时注意详略得当。克服精读精益求精的习惯，做到有信息处精读，无信息处略读，略读处一扫而过。

　　题目中数字、人名等信息(题眼)在原文中对应的部分必须详读。而对所要解释或证明的观点的细节举例处或者通常有数个名词的并列项，它们不是完整的主谓宾的句子，因此无法与问题对应的详细列举处，都可以略读。

　　答题技巧二：显性信息

　　查读的信息通常是显性信息，只要将问题在原文中进行准确定位就能得到正确答案，一般不需要做推理。

　　特别提示：考生对于以下一些显性信息也应注意。

　　(1) 表示因果关系的词或词组：because， reason， due to， since， so that， therefore等

　　(2) 表示目的关系的词或词组：in order to， so as to， by等

　　(3) 表示转折关系的词或词组：but， however， yet等

　　(4) 表示对比关系的词或词组：contrary to， unlike， like等

　　答题技巧三：题文同序

　　英语四级考试的`阅读部分，问题顺序与原文顺序一致(有时顺序不一致)，这就要求考生应该按照题目的顺序依次做题。

　　答题技巧四：分解对应

　　分解对应四分法：快速将问题分解成4个部分(主A 谓B宾C+其他D)，与原文进行对比。

　　答题技巧五：选小不选大

　　四级阅读中，问题的范围必须小于原文范围，反之则不选。

　　不能选的选项为：

　　(1) 选项的信息与原文内容相反

　　(2) 选项将原文的意思张冠李戴

　　(3) 将原文中的不确定因素转化为确定因素

　　(4) 改变原文中的条件、范围等

　　答题技巧六： 主宾判定

　　四级阅读中，将题干的句子进行简单分解后，问题中的主语、宾语在原文未出现或被偷换概念，则不选。

　　不选的选项：

　　(1) 选项表述无中生有

　　(2) 原文中作者的目的、意图、愿望等内容在选项作为客观事实陈述

　　(3) 将原文中的特殊情况推广为普遍现象

　　(4) 将原文的内容具体化

　　(5) 随意比较原文中的两个事物

　　答题技巧七：相关信息准确合并

　　考生遇到问题时，不能只局限在某一段里面找答案，可以先做后面的题目，在后面的阅读中发现还有该题的答案时，将相关信息合并后再确定答案。

　　It may sound crazy that anyone would intentionally make quitting smoking any harder than necessary. But Ican guarantee that if you want to know a secret about how to quit smoking, then just stop making it so hardfor yourself.

　　Henry Ford once said, that if you think you can or you think you can't, then either way you are right. Here inlies the problem. Many smokers think they can't, or think it will be very hard.

　　They say things like:

　　1. Cigarettes are my friend: Wow talk about a lousy friend.

　　2. I'll be lost without them: Nothing quite so comforting as lighting a toxic cigarette.

　　3. I need my cigarettes to think: Nothing like 4000 toxic chemicals flooding your brain to help cognition.

　　4. Cigarettes help me when I'm stressed. Nicotine causes an adrenal response, flooding your system withadrenalin and cortisol, nothing good about that.

　　5. Smoking helps me relax. Again the nicotine does no such thing. It's taking time out that is relaxing.

　　6. I like smoking when I eat. Just wait until your food tastes like food and not an ashtray.

　　7. I always smoke with alcohol. Have a look around, notice the non smokers are doing just fine, withoutsmoking.

　　8. I put on weight if I quit. Smokers are no less thin or fat than any other group in society. Smoking actuallymakes it hard for your liver to break down fats properly.

　　In fact one of the best pieces of advice I can give to a smoker is to just observe non smokers going abouttheir day. See them when they are relaxed, stressed, busy, thinking, bored, eating or drinking.

　　The non smokers are managing just fine without any assistance from cigarettes. Focussing on all thereasons you think you need to smoke is just making it very hard for you. You can't quit when you think yourlife is so dependent on smoking.

　　The first thing to do is to look at the list and just think about it. Start to realise that smoking doesn't makeanything better. It doesn't help you to relax or thing, or drive better or hold a better conversation on thephone.

　　All it does is cost you a lot of money, make you smell like an ashtray, and strip away 14 years of life onaverage. And did I mention the slow painful lingering death.

　　The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.

　　The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.

　　皮卡迪利大街附近的一条著名拱廊街道上，几家高档商店刚刚开始营业。在早晨的这个时候，拱廊街上几乎空无一人。珠宝店主泰勒先生正在欣赏新布置的橱窗。他手下两名店员从早上8点就开始忙碌，这时刚刚布置完毕。钻石项链、戒指漂亮地陈列在黑色丝绒上面。泰勒先生站在橱窗外凝神欣赏了几分钟就回到了店里。

　　宁静突然被打破，一辆大轿车亮着前灯，响着喇叭，呼啸着冲进了拱廊街，在珠宝店门口停了下来。一人留在驾驶座上，另外两个用黑色长筒丝袜蒙面的人跳下车来。他们用铁棒把商店橱窗的玻璃砸碎。这开始发生时，泰勒先生正在楼上。他与店员动手向窗外投掷家具，椅子，桌子飞落花流水在拱廊街上。一个窃贼被一尊很重的'雕像击中，但由于他忙着抢钻石首饰，竟连疼痛都顾不上了。这场抢劫只持续了3分钟，因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上轿车，以惊人的速度开跑了。就在轿车离开的时候，泰勒先生从店里冲了出来，跟在车后追赶，一边还往车上扔烟灰缸、花瓶。但他已无法抓住那些窃贼了。他们已带着价值数千镑的首饰逃之夭夭了。
