英语故事英文作文：Missing Husband
Courtney had not heard from her husband in three weeks. Five weeks ago Jacob had gone to Iran to track down cigarette smugglers. He was working for a US company that was losing millions of dollars worth of cigarettes annually to criminal activity. He had communicated with Courtney at least once a day for the first two weeks. Then his calls and emails stopped coming.
Jacob was a retired FBI agent who had his own private investigation agency. He had no enemies that Courtney knew of. After the third day of not hearing from Jacob, Courtney contacted her US representative in Congress and her two US senators. They all said they would look into the matter. Three weeks later, after many calls from her, they all said they were still looking into the matter. Courtney had also made many calls to the US Embassy in Iran. The officials there told her they had no idea where her husband was, but they were “looking into it.”
Desperate to find her husband, Courtney flew to Tehran. She did not speak Farsi, and she knew nothing about Iran and nobody in Iran. All she knew was that she loved her husband and she would not leave Iran until she found him. If worse came to worst, she had decided to sell their house to continue her search. They had been married for forty years, and she loved him now as much as she had on her wedding day.
英语故事英文作文：The Driving Lesson
“Whoa! Whoa! Stop! What are you doing?! Holy cow!” Webster, an inexperienced teenaged driver, had just turned left in front of two oncoming cars. Noah couldn’t believe it. The cars were heading west through the intersection, and Webster pulled out as if they weren’t even there. Fortunately, the two cars slowed down and let Webster complete his turn. How could he not have seen the cars, Noah wondered.
“Didn’t you see those two cars?” he asked Webster. "Yes," Webster answered. But because he was in the middle of the intersection waiting to make the left turn, he was worried that he was a sitting duck for other traffic. So he was just trying to get out of the intersection. Noah felt like he had just aged 10 years. This was the second near-death collision in the last five minutes with his student driver. In his 40 years of driving, Noah couldn't remember a day like this.
He told Webster to pull over. They exchanged seats. Noah got back onto the 210 freeway, and headed west to Allen Ave. As he drove, he explained to Webster all the mistakes Webster had made earlier while driving on the 210. “I thought you passed driving school,” Noah said. Webster had, but he said that was two years ago, when he was 16. Since then, his mom hadn’t let him drive at all, because her car insurance didn’t cover Webster.
“Oh, so you’re really rusty,” Noah said, understandingly. Not only was he rusty, Webster agreed, but 15 minutes ago was the first time he had ever driven on the freeway—he was scared to death, he told Noah. “Oh, jeez,” Noah said, sympathetically. “Yeah, the first time you’re on the freeway, it’s really scary. But believe me, the surface streets are more dangerous. Every intersection is a crash waiting to happen.”
英语故事英文作文：The Oil Change
Andy, Moe’s younger brother, called late Wednesday morning. Andy told Darwin that he’d checked out the Buick for needed repairs. “Go ahead. I’m sitting down,” Darwin said.
Andy said the car needed new pads on the front disc brakes. It needed a new fuel filter. It needed new coolant. It needed new windshield wiper blades. “How much are the blades?” Darwin asked. Andy said $12. Darwin said that he’d buy them at Wal-Mart and install them himself.
“Is that it?” Darwin asked. “What about the plugs and wires, and the transmission fluid?” Andy told him that they were all okay. “But I thought I needed to change the transmission fluid every two years or so,” Darwin said. Andy said only if it had a burnt odor. “We can’t find a leak in that tire,” Andy said. “Oh, one more thing—I strongly recommend a new battery.”
“But that’s a DieHard, and it’s still got two years left on its 100-month warranty,” Darwin said.
“That battery is over six years old,” Andy said. “You’re already on borrowed time. I can put in a new Interstate that has a 75-month warranty, plus it’s 100 percent guaranteed for the first two years.”
Darwin thought about it. He hated to quit on a battery that still had lots of life in it. But, if the DieHard failed, and something bad happened to Gilroy, Denise would kill Darwin. Denise was Gilroy’s mom and Darwin’s girlfriend. He asked how much the new battery would be. “$137.46,” Andy said. Yikes, Darwin thought. "So what would that bring the total price to?" he asked. “$593.74,” Andy said.
Although Darwin had been hoping for a $300 bill, he told Andy to go ahead. Andy said he’d call later. If there were no glitches, the Buick would be ready by 5 p.m. I hope there's no glitches, Darwin thought, because I can't afford any.
