Passage one:

My aunt Aggie often thought she was able to sine, but I am sorry to say her singing was terrible. One day she asked a piano-tuner（调音师） to come and tune her piano. He came, and when he tried to tune the piano, it seemed to be all right. However, he thought he had better do something though he would rather have gone away. So he went over it carefully and made a very good job of it. A few days later aunt Aggie rang up again to say she didn't think the man had done it properly. The man's boss was very angry, and I need hardly say the piano-tuner himself was very surprised. However, he went again to the house. Aggie said, “ Let me play it.” So he heard her play it. It was perfectly in tune but she made him tune it again. The next day she rang up again and said, “it is easy to see that your man doesn't know his job. The piano seemed to be all right when he was there, but as soon as I begin to play it and sing at the same time, it gets all out of tune.”
