Lesson 24-1 A skeleton in the cupboard

We often read in novels how a seemingly respectable person or family has some terrible secret which has been concealed from strangers for years. The English language possesses a vivid saying to describe this sort of situation. The terrible secret is called 'a skeleton in the cupboard'. At some dramatic moment in the story, the terrible secret becomes known and a reputation is ruined. The reader's hair stands on end when he reads in the final pages of the novel that the heroine a dear old lady who had always been so kind to everybody, had, in her youth, poisoned every one of her five husbands.

　　It is all very well for such things to occur in fiction. To varying degrees, we all have secrets which we do not want even our closest friends to learn, but few of us have skeletons in the cupboard. The only person I know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very pound of the fact. George studied medicine in his youth. Instead of becoming a doctor, however, he became a successful writer of detective stories.

练习感悟：

起晚了，但是莫名其妙内心没有什么自责。

四十五分闹钟想起想高压式小憩一会儿，可是一觉下去就直接到了二十几分。是压力变小了吗？或者是内心那根弦逐渐得到了松弛？

这是偶像的力量吗？这是好事吧，虽然有坏处，我不再值得夸耀，
