Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.

He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”

“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”

He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.

But four days later, he returned home.

“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”

“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”

“Oh. What?”

“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”

“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”

“Lucky you!”

“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”

“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “and you are complaining!”

“Let me finish,” Henry said. “On the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn’t dare stay for dinner!”

In today's world of mobile phones, MP3 players and mini computers, most people have at least one time－telling tool with them. Since these small machines are so common, will people stop wearing the 500－year－old watches? According to some people, yes. A teenager says it's unnecessary to wear a watch. Many young people agree and use their mobile phones to tell time. Louis Galie, a president, said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago.

However, watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they want to spend money on a nice time－telling tool which doesn't just keep good time. For this reason, the watch industry has become an accessory business(配件業(yè)) in recent years.

Today's watches offer a lot of uses that meet the need of almost any personality(個(gè)性). They can be used as compasses(指南針), calendars, and even USB drives...

People are always trying their best to create new kinds of watches. A certain watchmaker business makes watches that don't even look like watches. Their popular model uses different color lights to tell the time. Another watchmaker business, makes a “handless” watch, using a ring of circles to keep time. This watch makes people talk a lot about modern watches.

Whether a watch expresses fashion sense, creative ability or a love for sports, people want their time－telling tools to be beautiful, fashionable and practical. All in all, a watch has become more important than the time it tells.

任務(wù)一　將畫線短語(yǔ)fashion sense譯為漢語(yǔ)。
