Walking in the street, Richard didn"t know where to go. His hometown was about 400 miles away.
He used to have little food. So he came to this city. But nobody would use a man who could neither read
nor write. It began to snow and soon the ground turned white. He felt a little warm when he was passing
a restaurant. He stood at the gate, but a policeman saw him and made him leave.
The young man was hungry and cold . He was afraid of dying in such bad weather.He went in a
supermarket. It was quite warm in it. He knew he would soon be driven out. He thought for a while and
had an idea. He looked around. The salesgirl was busy serving (为…服务) a rich man. He put on a coat
quickly and hurried off. Bad luck! Another salesgirl found it. Of course, he was caught and sent to a police
station. He understood the prison (监狱) was waiting for him.
"Were you thinking of anything while you were stealing the coat, young man?" asked an officer.
"Yes, sir" answered Richard," I would have a warm coat unless (除非) I was caught; In case (万一)
I would able to live in a warm room!"

put out his tongue, and the doctor looked at it quickly.
"OK. You can put your tongue back now," the doctor said. "It"s clear what"s wrong with you. You
need more exercise."
"But, doctor," the man said, "I don"t think…"
"Don"t tell me what you think," the doctor said. "I am the doctor, not you. I know what you need.
I see hundreds of people like you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front
of the TV in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day."
"Doctor, you don"t understand," the patient said. "I…"
"I don"t want to hear any excuses," the doctor said. "You must find time for exercise. If you don"t,
you will get fat and have health problems when you are older."
"But I walk every day," the patient said.
"Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few feet to the train station from
your house, a few more feet from the station to your office, and a few more feet from your office to a
restaurant for lunch and back. That is not real walking. I"m talking about a walk in the park for twenty
minutes every day."
"Will you listen to me, doctor!" the patient shouted, getting angry with his doctor who thought he
knew everything. "I"m a mailman," the patient went on, "and I walk for seven hours every day!" For a
moment the doctor was silent, then he said quietly, "Put your tongue out again, will you?"
B. to exercise
C. to show his tongue
D. to see hundreds of other patients

grandchildren said to her, "Please don"t drive your car, Grandmother. We can take you to the shops." But she
always said, "No, I like driving. I"ve driven for fifty years, and I"m not going to stop now."
Last Saturday she stopped her car at some traffic-lights because they were red, and then it did not start
again. The lights were green, then yellow, then green again, but her car did not start.

today?"
