1．Roald Dahl was a spy，an ace fighter pilot，a chocolate historian and a medical inventor.He was also the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory，Matilda，The BFG，and a treasury of original，evergreen，and beloved children's books.He remains for many the world's No.1 storyteller.
Born in Llandaff，Wales，on 13th September 1916 to Norwegian parents，Harald Dahl and Sofie Magdalene Hesselberg，Dahl was named after Roald Amundsen，the Norwegian who had been the first man to reach the South Pole just four years earlier.A heroic start in life.
Wanting the best for her only son，his mother sent him to a boarding school - Repton，a renowned British public school.With schooldays happily behind him，Dahl's lust for travel took him first to Canada，then to East Africa，where he worked for an oil company until the outbreak of World War Ⅱ.He enlisted in the Royal Air Force at 23 years old.In 1953 Roald Dahl married the American actress，Patricia Neal，with whom he had five children.
There followed a burst of literary energy as his endless creativity led to one wonder after another：in 1961 James and the Giant Peach was published in the US，followed by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.Fantastic Mr.Fox was published in 1970，the year before the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was released.The rest of the decade saw the publication of many other classics，including Danny the Champion of the World，The Enormous Crocodile，and My Uncle Oswald.
Roald Dahl died on 23 November 1990，aged 74.He was buried in the parish church of St.Peter and St.Paul in Great Missende - the Buckinghamshire village where today The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre continues his extraordinary mission to amaze，thrill and inspire generations of children and their parents.

3．When Laura wanted to go into the garden by the back door，it was blocked by servants．
Something had happened．
"What's the matter？What's happened？"
"There's been a horrible accident/ said the cook． "A man killed．"
"A man killed!Where？How？When？"
"Know those little cottages just below here，Miss？" Know them？Of course，Laura knew them． "Well，there's a young guy living there，name of Scott，a carter His horse shied （受驚）at a traction-engine，and he was thrown out on the back of his head．Killed．"
"Dead!" Laura stared at the cook．
"Dead when they picked him up，" said the cook． 'Just now they were taking the body home．He'﹩left a wife and five little ones．"
"Jose，come here．" Laura caught her sister's sleeve and dragged her through the kitchen into the garden．There she paused． "Jose!" she said，horrified， ''however are we going to stop everything？'
"Stop everything，Laura!" cried Jose in astonishment． "What do you mean？"
"Stop the garden party，of course．Why did Jose pretend？"
But Jose was still more amazed． "Stop the garden party？My dear Laura，don't be so absurd．Of course we can't do anything of the kind．Nobody expects us to．Don't be so extravagant．"
"But we can't possibly have a garden party with a man dead just outside the front gate．"
That really was extravagant．Those little cottages，those miserable houses，had no right to be in that rich neighbourhood in the first place．When Laura and Jose were little they were even forbidden to set foot there because of the rude language and of what they might see．It was dirty and disgusting．
"And just think of what the band would sound like to that poor woman，" said Laura．
"Oh，Laura!" Jose began to be seriously annoyed，"If you're going to stop a band playing every time some one has an accident，you'll lead a very difficult life，I'm every bit as sorry about it as you．But you won't bring a drunken workman back to life by being sentimental（多愁善感的）．"
"Drunk!Who said he was drunk？" Laura turned angrily on Jose， "I'm going straight up to tell mother．"
"Do，dear，" said Jose，gently．
"Mother，can I come into your mom？" Laura turned the big glass door-knob．
"Of course，child．Why，what's the matter？What's given you such a colour？" And Mrs．Sheridan turned round from her dressing-table．She was trying on a new hat．
"Mother，a man's been killed，" began Laura．
"Not in the garden？" interrupted her mother．
"No，no!"
"Oh，what a fright you gave me!" Mrs．Sheridan sighed with relief and took off the big hat and held it on her knees．
"But listen，mother，" said Laura，Breathless，half-choking，she told the dreadful story． "Of course，we can't have our party，can we？" she begged． "The band and everybody arriving．And the poor family would hear us，mother；they're nearly neighbours!"
"Oh，Laura's astonishment her mother behaved just like Jose；it was harder to bear because she seemed amused．She refused to take Laura seriously．"
"But，my dear child，use your common sense．If some one had died there normally 一 and I can't understand how they keep alive in those little holes 一 we should still be having our party，shouldn't we？"
Laura had to say "yes" to that，but she felt it was all wrong．
"Mother，isn't it terribly heartless of us？" she asked．
"Darling!" Mrs．Sheridan got up and came over to her，carrying the hat． "My child!" said her mother， "the hat is yours．It's made for you．Wow!Look at yourself!And she held up her hand-mirror．
"But，mother，" Laura began again．She couldn't look at herself；she turned aside．
This time Mrs．Sheridan lost patience just as Jose had done．
"You are being very absurd，Laura，" she said coldly． "People like that don't expect sacrifices from us．And it's not very sympathetic to spoil everybody's enjoyment as you're doing now，"
"I don't understand，'' murmured Laura．Then，quite by chance，she saw this charming girl in the mirror，in the beautiful hat．Never had she imagined she could look like that．Is mother right？she thought．And now she hoped her mother was right．Am I being extravagant？Perhaps．Just for a moment she had another glimpse of that poor woman and those little children，and the body being carried into the house．But it all seemed blurred，unreal，like a picture in the newspaper．I'll remember it again after the party's over，she decided．And somehow that seemed quite the best plan …
