    Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called

a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it

can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from

Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual

places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain

Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the

Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.

参考译文

    本.弗西特机长买了一辆不同寻常的出租汽车，并开始了一项新的业务。这辆“出租汽车”是一架小型瑞士飞机，叫“皮勒特斯.波特“号

。这架奇妙的飞机可以载7名乘客。然而，最令人惊奇的是它能够在任何地方降落：雪地上，水面上，甚至刚耕过的田里。弗西特机长的第一名

乘客是位医生，他从伯明翰飞往威尔士山区一个偏僻的村庄。从那时开始，弗西特机长已经载送乘客到过许多不寻常的地方。一次，他把飞机

降落在了一栋公寓楼的屋顶上；还有一次，降落在了一个废弃的停车场上。弗西特机长刚刚拒绝了一位商人的奇怪要求。这个人想要飞往大西

洋上的一个孤岛 -- 罗卡尔岛，弗西特机长之所以不送他去，是因为那段飞行太危险了。

    What happened to the man in the boat?
 
    The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home. I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons. It was

warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. Some children were playing games on the bank and there were

some people rowing on the river. Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat.

Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them. The ball struck him so hard that he

nearly fell into the water. I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight: they had all run away! The man

laughed when he realized what had happened. He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank.

着。河岸上有些孩子正在玩耍，河面上有些人正在划船。突然，一个孩子狠狠地踢了一脚球，球便向着一只划过来的小船飞去。岸上的一些人

对着小船上的人高喊，但他没有听见。球重重地打在他身上，使他差点儿落入水中。我转过头去看那些孩子，但一个也不见，全都跑了！当那

个人明白了发生的事情时，笑了起来。他大声叫着那些孩子，把球扔回到岸上。

    What was Frank's first job?

    Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the

head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at

that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own.

In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small

workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his

hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him

to repair their grandson's bicycle!
