it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually quite pleasant and there aren't too many tourists in October.

We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient as we did most of our sight seeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive; the bus routes were too difficult for us to understand; and my wife didn't like traveling by underground. She said it made her feel shut in.

We went to look at the places, which all tourists see. We saw Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery and Piccadilly Circus. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, though, was going to the theatre. We don't have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn't think so. It's true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.

In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have booked another trip to England for this year. We're going to take our umbrellas, though. I'm sure we'll need them.

re never going to get married. I mean, you've been through jail together, you're living together, but…, oh, forget it."

"Oh, well," I said," put it like that and I'll marry your daughter tomorrow."

Actually, I don't know what we were waiting for, except that for a guy it's never the right time to get married. I' m also suspicious of any two people who don't struggle with that decision. Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn't going to find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It's a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up.

I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic, and popped the question. I also gave my wife a big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn't taking any chances.

She said no.

It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog just stared at me, thinking, "If you're not going to eat your lunch, I will." Finally, I said, "But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say yes."

"Switzerland , "she said, "is filled with precise, humorless people."

"Maybe I should have suggested Paris？"

For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid "maybe". But she said no again. When we woke up the next morning, she told me that she'd slept on my proposal. "I guess I was a little rude to you last night," she explained. Meanwhile, I'm figuring I'm off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous.

"I asked, you said no. It's okay," I said. I might have looked a little too relieved because later that day she gave me a little box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was inscribed. "Yes. I've reconsidered."

I liked the watch, so I did the right thing.

The reason why the man had waited so long for his marriage was that he ______.

A．didn' t think eight years was long enough

B．suspected that husband and wife would often quarrel

C．didn't think he was ready to propose to her

D．was waiting for his mother-in-law's approval

A．he needs someone to help with his studies

B．he feels lonely without her

C．he cannot have clean clothes to wear without a wife

D．material comforts can not be attained without a wife

lly，I am a mother.Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a divorce(离婚).He had one child，who is，of course，with his ex-wife.He is obviously looking for another wife.As I thought about him while I was cooking one evening，it suddenly occurred to me that I，too，would like to have a wife.Why do I want a wife？I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent，support myself，and，if need be，support those dependent upon me.I want a wife who will work and send me to school.And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children.I want a wife to keep track of the children's doctor appointments.And to keep track of mine，too.I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean.I want a wife who will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended.I want a wife who arranges for their schooling，makes sure that they have an adequate(足够的)social life with their peers(同伴)，and takes them to the park，the zoo，etc.I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs.I want a wife who will keep my house clean.I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean，mended，replaced when need be，and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it.I want a wife who cooks the meals，a wife who is a good cook.I want a wife who will plan the menus，do the necessary grocery shopping，prepare the meals，serve them pleasantly，and then do the washing up while I do my studying.I want a wife who will care for me while I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school.I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene.If，by chance，I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have，I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one.Naturally，I will expect a fresh，new life：My wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.When I am through with school and have a job，I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife's duties.My God，who wouldn't want a wife？
