the story I was reading that I didn"t 2 that it was getting dark. When I realized that it was too dark for me
to read 3 , I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone 4 , "Help! Help!"
It seemed to come from the trees at the end of the yard. I looked out but it was too dark to 5 anything

and a stick, which I thought might be useful. With these in my hands, I went out 11 the yard. Once again I
heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. "Who is
there?" I 12 as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no 13 . With the help of my
flashlight, I 14 all over that end of the yard, including the branches of the trees. There was no 15 of anybody
or anything. I came to the conclusion that my 16 made fun of me, probably because of the strange creatures
(生物) on another 17 which I read about in the story.
I had to go back into the house and put the stick and flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book
again when I was 18 by the cry of "Help! Help!" This time it was from right behind me! I dropped my book

| Iris is very forgetful and so she worries a lot. She worries a lot and so she becomes even more forgetful. She also talks to herself a lot. One day, she has her hat and coat on and is just about to open the front door. She stops for a moment. "Is the electric cooker off?" Iris never forgets to turn the cooker off but she goes back to the kitchen to make sure. Yes, the cooker is off. "But is the TV off in the sitting room?" She goes to the sitting room and feels a knob (旋钮) on the TV set. "Yes, I don"t usually forget that. Oh dear! It"s getting a bit late. I don"t want to miss that train." So she goes back to the front door and opens it. She is going through the doorway when she stops suddenly. "My key! It"s somewhere in my handbag, I think. No, it"s not in my purse; not in the front pocket. Ah, I know! Yes, it"s in my coat pocket. Thank goodness! I must run all the way." Halfway down the garden path she looks at the sky, which is covered with grey clouds. "I know it"s going to rain. And that bedroom window is wide open. I must close it. I suppose I can catch the next train." She opens the door again, putting the key back in her handbag. She throws her handbag on the hall table, rushes upstairs and closes the window. Then she runs downstairs and straight out of the house, closing the door behind her noisily. But she doesn"t catch either the first or the second train. And it doesn"t rain all day.

| Britain"s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money-to make the trip from his house near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse. Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling =1/20 pound) return from Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then," he said. During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament (国会). The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired. "I don"t like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old," he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no alcohol, no cigarette and no angry. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, "I"m glad to see they"ve given me a return ticket." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
