About a hundred people lived in a very small mountain village. It was very 1 from the other villages
and towns. They had few friends and they got bad harvest. 2 of them left the village. Of course there
was neither electricity (电) nor gas (煤气) there.
Once a writer 3 the village. The backwardness (落后) of the village surprised him. He decided 4
about it to the world. So he took the oldest villager to London. The old man told all about his home village to
the people. Several months 5 he returned. All the villagers went to see him and asked him how he had
enjoyed 6 in the city.
"Everything is wonderful in 7 ," the old man said.
"I"ve 8 to many good places and eaten all kinds of nice food and other things. But the trouble was I
could not 9 at night."
"What happened to you?" his wife asked.
"The 10 was on in my bedroom all the time."
"Why not blow it out, then? "
"I tried-but it was inside a little glass bottle."
Travel by train
Jack loves traveling by train. Whenever he feels like traveling, he"d first think about taking a trip on the
rail. That is because he never has to bother to book (订) tickets or collect them in advance (提前). Going to
the station and buying a ticket are what he has to do.
Traveling by train is also very comfortable. Most of the trains are air-conditioned, warm in winter and
cool in summer. Jack usually chooses a non-smoking section, taking a seat by the window so he can enjoy
the outside views. If it is a night train, the experience can be exciting. He just sleeps the whole night and the
next day, he will be in a new city. By the way, he never has to worry about his meals. The train provides
food around the clock.
Traveling by train has another advantage to offer: you may run into some old friends or you can listen
to people talking about something of your interest. Last week when he was on a train, for instance, he ran
into a primary school classmate. They didn"t expect that they could bump into each other that way. Their
talk brought back many things: the games they played, the jokes they made on their peers and the funny
things they had done.

At last this young man got out at a station with his two heavy bags. 3 of the other passengers helped

The young man turned around and 7 with his two bags. He was very 8 when he arrived, but
he shouted through the window, "What did I leave behind?"
As the train began to move again, the passenger who had 9 him back opened the window and said,
"A very 10 impression ( 印象)!"
He pretended (假装) to look for 4 on the ground by her feet. It wasn"t long before the woman noticed him

work. When he got on the lift, it stopped between floors. Mr. Coates could not get out of the lift. He started
to shout, but no one heard him. Then Mr. Coates remembered that it was a holiday in England. No one
was going to come to work until Tuesday!
There was nothing for Mr. Coates to do. He had to wait. With nothing to eat or drink, Mr. Coates slept
for most of the time. Early on Tuesday morning, his workmates came into work and found the lift was not
working. When the lift was opened, Mr. Coates came out. He was cold, weak, and tired. He had been in the
lift for 62 hours!
Now Mr.Coates says, "I only use lifts if they have telephones in them."

minutes before six, the Browns decided to leave. They said goodbye to their daughter, walked to their car and
got in. Mr. Brown was about to start the car when a gunman (持枪歹徒) jumped up from the back seat. He
held a gun to Mr. Brown"s head. "Drive me to Paris!" he ordered. "All right," Mr. Brown answered. "I"ll drive
you anywhere you want to go. But first let my wife out of the car."
The gunman agreed. After she was safely out of the car, Mr. Brown started the engine and drove down
the street. He was driving slowly but his mind was racing. Unarmed and 81 years old, he knew he could not
fight the gunman. Suddenly Mr. Brown realized how he could attract the attention of the police. He began
driving like a mad (疯) man. He drove sixty miles an hour on side streets, ran red lights, and drove the wrong
way on one-way streets. But not one police officer saw him. Suddenly he remembered that the Lily police
station was only a few blocks away. "All right," he thought. "If I can"t bring the police to my car, I"ll bring
my car to the police."
He turned corner and saw the police station ahead. The two large doors were closed. He sped up (加速)
the car straight for the doors. The car crashed through the doors and stopped in the courtyard. Mr. Brown
cried, "Help! He is going to kill me." It happened so quickly that the gunman didn"t know what to do. Just then
the officers from the police station had already come. They quickly caught the gunman. It was 6:30 p.m.; only
35 minutes after the Browns had left their daughter"s home on a quite street in Lilly.
B. stood in front of his car
C. was hiding in his car
