Lesson40    Foodand talk

Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look upwhen I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried tomake conversation.

A new play is coming to" The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it ?' ' No,' she answered. 'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked.' No,' she answered.

Will you be staying in England?' I asked. ' No,' she answered. In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

Young man,' she answered,' if you ate more and talked less,we would both enjoy our dinner!'

练习感悟：今儿跑步的时候刻意回想了一下昨天朗读的文章，除了倒数二三句记不清，其他基本都能回忆起来，边跑边想思绪太容易乱飞了，还没回想完就飞了赶紧拉回来继续回忆。读了这么多天，持续行动是不难了，但是刻意学习感觉有点难了，很多读了之后没有及时复习就忘记了，得调整一点时间来复习才好呀~
