這一篇課文印證了我對課文本身的上口程度對閱讀難度的影響的猜測。文中的主人公的名字，Ted Robinson，是臨時根據原聲帶改過來的。他原來的名字叫Dan。我本來不想改，想照著書，而不是磁帶，讀的。可是這Dan Robinson，怎麽弄都跟舌頭較勁！
Lesson 34 Quick work
Ted Robinson has been worried all the week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter he was asked to call at the station. Ted wondered why he was wanted by the police, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried anymore. At the station, he was told by a smiling policeman that his bicycle had been found. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. It is now being sent to his home by train. Ted was most surprised when he heard the news. He was amused too, because he never expected the bicycle to be found. It was stolen twenty years ago when Ted was a boy of fifteen!
