When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time tel ling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven’t got a television. People think that we are very strange. “But what do you do in the evening?”，they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I’m always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.

Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in fro nt of the television, everybody talks and plays games.

My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it the other day and I washed a lot of things.

Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband’s socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in, I greeted them and told them what we were going to do that day.

When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar.

They laughed and laughed. The laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be in and see all this. I asked the c lass to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who were in the next room came in to see what all the laughter was about. Wh en he came in, he started laughing, too!

“Good heaven,” I said. “Will someone please tell me what is so funny?”

“Oh, God,” said the teacher. “You have a brown sock stuck to the back of your skirt!”

So that’s how I found my husband’s missing sock. “Oh, well,” I said to the class,“ Let’s just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static electricity(静电学).”
