1.Shirley worked in New York. Every day she traveled by bus for a long distance between her home and her place of work. She noticed the bus driver was a special man. Whenever the passengers got on the bus, he would smile at them. All the people smiled back at him wonderfully. 2.However, Shirley also noticed there was a passenger who never smiled back at the driver. He wore a thick beard; he often coughed rudely as he got on the bus and forced the other to offer the seat to him in a loud voice. 3. All this didn’t make the driver stop his smile at the passengers. Instead, the “bearded” man seemed never to see the smile. 4.This was really strange to Shirley. Once, she asked the driver, ”Sir, may I ask why you don’t throw that ill-mannered ‘bearded’ man out of the bus?” The driver looked at Shirley and said, “he’s my guest.” “Then you take back your smile at least. Don’t be so kind to him!” “Let me tell you about my little dog,” the driver said patiently, “each time the moon shines, the dog would bark（吠） at it rudely.” Hearing this, Shirley was puzzled(困惑) and asked，“What can this dog and the moon suggest?” The driver said, “It keeps barking, but the moon still shines.” 1. smile at sb. 对……微笑 laugh at sb. 嘲笑某人 2. force sb. to do 强迫某人做某事 3. offer sth. to sb. 为某人提供某物 4. manner 方式；风俗 manners 礼貌 Wear wore worn 5. look for，find，find out这三个词都有“找”的涵义，但具体用法有别： 1）look for意为“寻找”，是有目的地找，强调“寻找”这一动作。如： —What are you looking for？你在找什么？ —Im looking for my bike．我在找我的自行车。 2）find意为“找到”“发现”，强调“找”的结果，其宾语往往是某个丢失的东西或人。如： —Did you find Li Ming yesterday？你昨天找到李明了吗？ —No，we looked for him everywhere，but didnt find him．没有。我们到处找了，但没有找到他。 3）find out着重表示通过理解、分析、思考、询问等“弄清楚”“查明”一件事情，其后的宾语常常是某个情况、事实。如： Please find out when the train leaves．请查一下火车什么时候离站。  56.
