Unit 1 Johnny the Explorer 约翰尼探险家 Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields, and two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address. 当约翰尼第一次离家出走时，他只有3岁。有些人的花园门口敞开着。约翰尼越过这些地段就漫步出去了，接着2个小时后，他到了下一个村子。他只能说出他的名字和地址。 By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home.

He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some corridors and got on board the nearest plane. 这没什么好惊讶的，最后约翰尼设法登上了飞机。在那时他只有12岁。这是一架货物飞机，几个小时后，约翰尼发现他自己在开罗。他是如何登机的？没有人知道！按照约翰尼他自己说的，这是容易的：他只是进入了飞机场，沿着一些候车长廊然后登上了快要起飞的飞机。 In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed maths and languages and, perhaps not surprisi
