　　《床头灯英语·3000词读物（纯英文）：包法利夫人》：　　The next day， the country boy returned again. He sat again in the corner with his cap sitting on his lap， listening respectfully to the master.　　"Stand up!" said the master.　　He stood up， his cap fell down， and the students laughed.　　He bent down to pick up his cap. Another student knocked it out of his hand. Again he picked it up.　　The other students always put their caps in the back of the room at the 'oeginning of class， whichthe new country boy had not noticed.　　"Put your cap away quickly，" said the master， annoyed.　　The laughter from the class made the poor boy so uncomfortable that he didn't know whether to keep his cap in his hand， or put it on the floor or on his head. He sat down and put it back on his knees.　　"Stand up and tell me your name."　　The boy nervously said his name， but he spoke so quietly that no one could understand.　　"Again!" the master said.　　This time， the country boy opened his mouth widely and spoke with great courage the word， Charbovari.　　The class began laughing loudly. Soon， the master quieted the students， and found out the country boy's name， Charles Bovary. The master then demanded that the boy sit next to his own desk.　　"Now you will be quiet!" he shouted at the country boy. Then， more gently he said， "You shall have your cap back. It hasn't been stolen."　　In the evening， when the students would study the lessons， Charles Bovary carefully worked on his lessons， looking up every word in the dictionary. His level in school was well below most children his age. He had only studied with the local priest in his village； his parents delayed sending him to school as long as possible because of the great expense of his education.　　……
