I am Jim Hawkins and my story begins many years ago, when my father worked at the Admiral Benbow inn.
One day a tall man with a scar (疤痕) on his face arrived. He opened the door of the inn, singing the song I know so well:
“Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest-Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!”
“A glass of rum,” he said when he came inside.
“This is a pleasant inn,” he said, “Do you have many customers (顾客)?”
“Not many,” my father answered.
“Well, this is the place for me. You can call me ‘captain’.” he said. The he asked a man to carry his large sailor’s chest to his room. “I’m a simple man,” he told my father, “Rum and bacon and eggs is all I want. Here are four gold coins to start. Tell me when I have to pay more.”
During the day he went to the cliffs with his telescope (望远镜) and in the evening he sat by the fire drinking rum and water. He asked about sailors every day. We soon understood that he wanted to avoid them. When a sailor visited the inn, the captain was always very quiet. One day he asked me:
“If you see a sailor with one leg, tell me as soon as he arrives.”
When the captain drank too much rum, he sang sea-songs and told the other customers terrible stories about his violent life at sea.
He stayed month after month, but he didn’t give my father any more money. My poor father was too frightened to ask. Everyone was frightened of the captain and his stories. The only person who was not afraid of him was the local doctor and magistrate, Dr. Livesey.
“If you keep drinking rum like that, you will very soon be dead,” he warned the captain.

Every girl dreams, and Lisa is the same. Swan Lake is her favorite. She once hoped that her dream of becoming a ballet dancer would come true one day. She worked hard at her ballet lessons and all her teachers believed that she was a good student.
One day, she saw a poster saying that a famous ballet troupe (芭蕾舞团) would give a show in her hometown. “I must meet up with the head of the troupe and show him my skills!” She said to herself.
When the troupe arrived, Lisa put on her ballet clothes and hid (躲藏) in the troupe’s dressing room. When the head of the troupe went into the room, she came out. She couldn’t wait to tell the head about her dream.
The head asked Lisa to dance for him. A few minutes later, he stopped her and said, “I’m sorry. You’re not good enough!”
After hearing this, Lisa ran out of the dressing room. She felt quite sad.
Years later, Lisa had given up dancing. One day, she met the head of the troupe and asked why he didn’t think her dancing was good enough. He answered, “I say this to all of my students.”
“But you ruined my dream!” said Lisa.
The head said, “If you really love ballet, you shouldn’t give up so easily. You should believe in yourself.”
